It’s not every day that a high-profile Southern Baptist pastor calls out the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) for being little more than a sanctimonious public relations firm. But that’s precisely what happened when Willy Rice, pastor of Calvary Baptist...
Delman Coates, the senior pastor of Mt. Ennon Baptist Church, recently delivered a sermon that could only be described as theological arson. Coates didn't just bend the truth—he violently assaulted it, dragged it into a dark alley, and left it bleeding. He essentially...
In a world feverishly engaged in an unrestrained pursuit of "progress," the demarcation line between secular culture and shallow, cultural Christianity is not merely fading—it is being intentionally obliterated. To be clear, the line between the pagan culture and...
"Dr." Kevin M. Young has unlocked a mystery that has baffled theologians for centuries. With the clatter of his keyboard, he has pinpointed the downfall of modern Christianity, and it's nothing so profound as a departure from biblical truth or a failure to preach...
Every Sunday, across the globe, congregations gather in church buildings, expecting not only to hear the Word of God but often to be entertained. We see the theatrical spectacle of contemporary churches engaging in “culturally relevant” productions, sermon series...
There is a welcomed trend of churches arming themselves with the Scriptures to teach important messages about the faith that we should find encouraging. Church after church, pastor after pastor, they're all opening the Scriptures, preaching Christ and Him crucified,...
The pages of Scripture are permeated with a resplendent theme: the inestimable and unspeakable love of God. This love cascades through time and eternity, an everlasting torrent of grace and mercy. We are taught even as little children the profound simplicity of love,...
Anyone who argues that drag shows are "just entertainment" and not sexualized is by definition what God calls those who "justify the wicked" in Proverbs 17:15. The drag cult is a sex cult. The cult of Dionysus was a Greek mystery religion centered around the worship...
The buzzwords 'stewardship', 'sustainability', and 'creation care' are ringing out from pulpits across the nation. At face value, they sound biblical and commendable. However, once we peel back the layers, we see a different picture—one where biblical truths are...
A dark and disquieting influence has infiltrated the modern church, casting long shadows across the pulpit and pews alike. Though this enemy began in a far subtler way—cloaked in the guise of social enlightenment, a pied piper playing the seductive melody of "woke"...
In a post-Christian culture where even a minute illusion of professing Christianity still exists, sensationalism often supersedes substance and the allure of prophetic visions and mystical experiences continues to bewitch believers. A case in point is the recent claim...
If you want to know just how low we've gone not only as a nation, but just how irrelevant we've collectively become as the Church, look no further than what passes as "Christian" music in the worship music industry.You may remember the ever-popular "Christian" rock...
Continuing our series on the snares confronting the modern church, we now delve into the subtle yet pernicious snare of clericalism. This term, perhaps unfamiliar to some, captures a dynamic that, unfortunately, is far too familiar within the walls of many...
Recently, Saddleback Church, which is now "pastored" by Andy Wood and his wife, Stacie, did something unusual. Well, actually it isn't all that unusual—this behavior is a disturbing trend in modern Evangelicalism. The husband-wife pastor duo dressed up like characters...
This past Mother's Day, one prominent Southern Baptist megachurch turned its congregation on to a blaspheming rapper who regularly drops the F-Bombs, takes the Lord's name in vain, and objectifies women in his music. I mean, isn't this the kind of role model our...
When a true believer goes to church on Sunday morning, the expectation is that the Scriptures will be opened, read, and taught. The expectation is that God will be honored and worshiped in spirit and in truth. And that the Word of God will convict of us our sin and...
As we continue our exploration of the snares of the modern church, a challenging, yet important, topic comes to the fore: Consumer Christianity. This term, while perhaps unfamiliar to some, paints a vivid picture of a troubling trend. It points to the conversion of...
Two teachers at a Southern Baptist Church-affiliated Christian school are completely baffled at why they were fired for attending a drag show featuring sex perverts and celebrating sexual immorality. Caught like a dear in headlights, they had absolutely no clue at...
We've written to you in the past that First Baptist Church Orlando, a Southern Baptist megachurch in Orlando, Florida, was openly baptizing practicing homosexuals and there has been absolutely no accountability from the Southern Baptist Convention for these...
It’s no secret that the woke social justice movement isn’t actually about racial reconciliation, but a progressive agenda designed to overturn civilized society, wreak havoc, and institute an economic and political system that has exchanged Constitutional freedoms...
