The pastrix of Downey Avenue Christian Church—a church and a denomination that is anything but Christian—compares the explicit novel, The Color Purple, to Scripture, calling it “holy and inspired.” Not metaphorically. Not emotionally. No, she literally calls it a...
Have you ever opened a sack of flour that’s been sitting just a little too long in a damp basement? At first, it looks okay—sealed up, stacked neatly, part of the pantry. But peel it open, and the putrid smell is suddenly overwhelming. It’s filled with fat, white...
Sarah Young, the author of the blockbuster devotional "Jesus Calling," met the real Jesus after a long battle with cancer. Before her passing, Young had spent years publishing what she claimed were direct dialogues with Jesus Christ. Using a first-person voice, she...
In Part XIII of our hard-hitting series on the Snares of the Modern Church, we unmask one of the most pernicious yet insidious traps that have ensnared unwitting believers—occultism. Yes, you read that right. We're talking about occult practices that have slithered...
If you need any other reason to pull your children out of Pagan institutions, look no further than DeDe Duffy. DeDe Duffy, a preschool teacher in Cape Coral, FL, says that she hates her family because she is a queer. She goes on to say that she teaches the kids in her...
We've been covering some of the controversy going on at Matt Chandler's Acts 29 church planting network over the last few weeks. This organization has been wrought with controversy since its inception. Notably, the well-publicized removal of co-founder Mark Driscoll...
It's beyond troubling to see the lengths to which some are willing to go to strip away parental rights under the guise of modern progressivism. In fact, it's horrifying. When I first read the headline, "It’s a privilege, not a right, to know your kid’s gender...
In a cultural landscape teeming with ideological disarray, even the dialogue surrounding Christian interaction with the LGBTQ movement has been pulled apart by polarizing narratives. A particularly concerning viewpoint comes to light through the Acts 29 Network, which...
In recent years, a surge of academic inquiries has sought to dissect the contentious issue of abortion from various angles: moral, legal, scientific, and sociological. This has led to a broad range of opinions, some claiming the practice to be a woman's right, while...
David Hughes, the "pastor" of Church by the Glades in Coral Springs, FL, has turned this "church" into nothing short of a circus. Instead of nourishing souls with the gospel, Hughes seems more concerned with putting on a show. When a church trades the pulpit for a...
Tim Ross, an associate pastor at the controversial Transformation Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Serving alongside lead pastor Mike Todd, Ross is infamous for preaching sermons that not only twist the teachings of the Bible...
In Part XII of our series on the Snares of the Modern Church, we dismantle yet another beguiling but perilous slogan: the "Jesus Over Everything" mantra. On the surface, this catchphrase seems innocuous, even laudable. After all, shouldn't Jesus be our primary focus?...
In an era marked by increasing ideological fragmentation, the discussion around how Christians should engage with LGBTQ individuals is not exempt from polarizing viewpoints. A recently uncovered video clip from the Acts 29 Network, represented by Justin Anderson and...
In an unsurprising yet deeply horrifying move, the California Senate has passed AB957, a law that not only usurps the God-given duty of parents to guide and protect their children but also establishes a chilling precedent for the future. This law is a tyrannical...
Four years after the COVID panic hit the world, the vast majority of sane people in this world have finally come to see it for what it is—a scare tactic designed to force the masses into submission. Yet, there are some out there who just don't seem to learn, despite...
In Part V of our series on Debunking Leftist Myths About Jesus, we confront the disingenuous claim that Jesus was a centrist—a convenient compromise in the ideological battles between progressives and conservatives. This myth, often peddled by compromised church...
Max Lucado, a prominent Christian author, recently discussed the concept of sin in a way that, while aiming for accessibility, inadvertently waters down the gravity of what sin truly is. Lucado describes sin as an "unwillingness to wait, to trust, to follow God's...
Upon hearing of the passing of Sarah Young last week, I made a decision to wait a few days before commenting on the tragic reality. Not because I believed I had to, but rather so these words would not get lost in the news cycle. I also know how people are in these...
In Part IV of our series on Debunking Leftist Myths About Jesus, we tackle the dishonest notion that Jesus was the epitome of modern-day "tolerance." The proponents of this myth willfully ignore the full scope of Christ's teachings to cherry-pick instances that serve...
Beth Moore, when she apostatized a few years ago and left a somewhat biblical denomination for a completely apostate denomination, made it clear that her intentions were to continue to rebel against God by performing the function and role of a pastor, which the...
Continuing our series on the pantheon of modern church snares, the phenomenon known as the "Seeker Sensitive Movement" merits particular attention. Born out of a desire for rapid church growth in the late 20th century, this unbiblical methodology puts the focus...
