Paula White is trash. There, I said it. She's a false teacher, a peddler of snake oil, a carnival barker draped in pseudo-Christian robes, hawking a gospel of greed with all the theological depth of a used car salesman promising that a lemon will last forever. She is...
There’s a reason some Christmas hymns endure for centuries. They don’t merely entertain or evoke warm holiday feelings—they proclaim truth. Continuing my series on Christmas hymns, I now turn my attention to one of those rare gems—Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. It...
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Thus, the Bible, a divine tapestry woven with complex and deeply layered threads, stands as a testament to the unfathomable wisdom of the Almighty. For it is written, "Study to show...
The Protestant Reformation marked a pivotal moment in Christian history, with the re-emergence of a long-forgotten and neglected doctrine that would resonate with believers for centuries to come: sola gratia, a Latin phrase meaning "grace alone." This foundational...
Have you ever struggled to understand how individual things can belong to a common category or have common properties? For instance, how do we know that all trees have leaves, a trunk, and roots, and what makes them trees rather than some other kind of plant? What...
Throughout the Old Testament, God uses sexual terms to describe Israel’s covenant unfaithfulness to Himself in their worship and life. We find this especially in the prophets. In fact the entire book of Hosea is grounded in this theme as the LORD commands Hosea to...
In the modern world, various cultures, lifestyles, languages, and other human expressions exist outside of the Church. While some of these differences reflect God's diverse beauty, they often create division among humanity. Unfortunately, many within the Evangelical...
The left has adopted a new term to further its agenda of indoctrinating children into non-traditional and non-Christian lifestyles. This movement is aimed at promoting political and social ideas that align with various Marxian theories, including queer theory and...
The United Methodist Church, which is in fellowship with the Methodist Church in Britain which is the Methodist tradition upon which all Methodist denominations in the world are founded, is a mirror image of the Methodist Church in America as far as its complete...
The LGBTQ movement in America has been striving for decades to promote the acceptance of homosexuality and other abnormal sexual behaviors. Sexual immorality, in all of its forms, has been present in every major society throughout history, as per historical and...
In the vast majority of modern churches, what passes as "worship" falls short of being true worship where the standard practice in Evangelical megachurches on Sunday mornings is to put on a rock concert that aims to stir up emotions and elicit positive feelings from...
End-times cults and religious movements have been the subject of fascination, horror, and a fair share of eye-rolls for decades—even centuries. You know the ones I'm talking about, the ones with the extremist beliefs, the apocalyptic prophecies, and the tragic...
The Enneagram is a secular personality typing and self-awareness system that claims to provide insight into one's "true self" and spiritual freedom. However, its origins in Gnostic principles and teachings are incompatible with Christianity, and any suggestion...
Have you ever witnessed a worship service at Bethel Church? The air is electric, the music booms, the chords resonate with your soul. It's a sensory experience that can cause you to feel like you've reached the height of existence. It would be easy to be swept up in...
Genesis 5: 1-This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 2-Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam [man or mankind], in the day when they were created. (Matt....
Romans 3:10 states, "As it is written: 'There is no one righteous, not even one.'" To understand this verse, we must first consider the broader context of the book of Romans as a whole. Written by the Apostle Paul, the New Testament book of Romans is widely regarded...
The spread of Christianity worldwide has brought forth a pressing issue - how to engage with the surrounding culture. In recent times, numerous churches have attempted to boost their relevance in society and attract new members by becoming more culturally relevant....
In one of the most asinine revelations in church history, it has come to our attention that the extremely common phrase, "worship leader," has been trademarked and is threatening legal actions against people who are using it. Depending on the specific phrase and how...
A growing movement within Evangelical circles is the denial of Hell as a literal place of eternal conscious torment. As a religious or spiritual person, one of the most difficult concepts to grapple with is the notion that a loved one may be in Hell. Even the most...
Last week, the notorious "gay pastor" Brandan Robertson joined Jeff Durbin and James White on Apologia to debate whether or not men who practice sodomy can be Christians or not. Of course, Brandan held the affirmative position and, well, pretty much got...
Pastor Mike Todd, from the Transformation Church, is gaining popularity despite his controversial and alarming behavior. He made headlines earlier this year for turning tithing into a million-dollar lottery and for spitting on a congregant's face during a sermon. He...
