"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...
If you're wondering why Andy Stanley's church has an open lesbian on staff as a counselor to other homosexuals, we're finding out that Stanley's approval of sexual immorality dates back much longer than we originally thought. Last week, Andy Stanley, a pastor who is...
In recent years, there have been growing concerns about the trend toward a police state in America, where basic human rights and freedoms are being increasingly violated by those in positions of authority. As more and more people are targeted for their beliefs and...
The Church of England, also known as the Anglican Church, is a historic institution that has its roots in the 16th century when King Henry VIII sought to divorce his wife Catherine of Aragon but was denied annulment by the Pope. As a result, Henry broke away from the...
As parents, it is our responsibility to ensure that our children are protected, guided, and nurtured in the ways of the Lord. We are commanded by the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 6:4 to "bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." This is a weighty...
What you're about to hear really shouldn't sound all that crazy, particularly coming from a man who says Jesus barged in on him while he was laying naked in the bathtub and told him what his destiny was going to be. I mean, if you're that close to God, then it follows...
These people are so predictable that it isn't even funny. Last week, following the death of Tyre Nichols, a black man who was beaten by five black cops and ultimately died in the hospital from the trauma several days later, I predicted that the usual race-baiters...
Earlier today, we reported that a Southern Baptist megachurch in Jacksonville, FL was requiring its members to sign a statement affirming a biblical sexual ethic in spite of the culture's continuing devolution into sexual anarchy. Last night, First Baptist Church...
It's not always that we get to report a positive movement within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). As of late, we've been reporting a lot on one Florida SBC megachurch that seems to continue to slide closer and closer to fully embracing homosexuality. That church...

At The Dissenter, we have been closely following the controversy surrounding pastor and author Andy Stanley and his heretical views on homosexuality, the authority of the Scriptures, the virgin birth, and practically every other aberrant and unbiblical view a...
In case you missed it, this week, Andy Stanley has been at the center of a heated controversy for his statements regarding the faith of homosexuals. The pastor, who is widely considered by most orthodox, Bible-believing Christians to be a false teacher, has been met...
"Do not boil a goat in its mother's milk" -Deuteronomy 14:21. I remember the first time I read this verse in an Old Testament course in college, a long time ago. It struck me as very odd. Another one was, "If you come across a bird’s nest in any...
Preston Sprinkle, one of the founding advisory board members of Revoice, the “gay Christian” movement within Evangelical churches, has been instrumental in shifting the church’s doctrinal stance on homosexuality and other aberrant sexualities. It is through Sprinkle’s...
Brandan Robertson has been in the headlines quite a bit in the last year or so as he is an openly gay, self-described “pastor” who opposed traditional, biblical theology while installing himself as a biblical scholar and theologian. Robertson is an advocate for sexual...
The fall of man, as described in the book of Genesis, was a monumental event in human history that drastically altered the course of humanity's existence. It was the moment when humanity's disobedience towards God resulted in a separation from their Creator, commonly...

The Charismatic movement encompasses a wide range of ideologies and practices, ranging from the flamboyant and sensationalistic, with its reliance on flashy lights, smoke screens, and emotive music, to the highly polished, upscale, and affluent, with its imitation of...
