Unless you live under a rock, you're aware by now of the incredible assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. I couldn't believe my eyes when the news broke that a gunman had climbed on top of a nearby roof and...
I recall attending worship services where the worship leader and band members spent more time interacting with the crowd and showcasing their vocal range and guitar riffs than pointing us to the true object of Christian worship—Jesus Christ. It’s been a while, but it...
Todd White is a charlatan of the highest order, masquerading as a preacher and pastor. His supposed “healings” are nothing more than cheap parlor tricks, and his association with known false prophets and heretics should be a red flag to anyone who encounters him. But...
Anyone who still believes that the popular television show, The Chosen, is a Christian television show is deceiving themselves. While Christians and churches have been entranced by this show for the last several years, many of us have been sounding the alarm...
In Part VII of our series on the Snares of the Modern Church, we delved into the pitfalls of "Cultural Relevance," where the church, in its quest to be relatable, risks compromising core beliefs. Now, in Part VIII, we navigate the treacherous waters of "Cultural...
"Your prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions; they have not exposed your iniquity to restore your fortunes, but have seen for you oracles that are false and misleading." - Lamentations 2:14 As I read this verse again recently, I was struck...
Earlier this morning, The Dissenter broke the news that Southern Baptist Convention president would be participating in a talk with a pro-LGBTQ, pro-abortion activist named Anthea Butler to bash other brothers and sisters in Christ who identify in some way as...
In the sprawling panorama of modern Evangelicalism, where the bright marquees of celebrated figures like Andy Stanley and Rick Warren frequently shine, a troubling trend stands out prominently. While historically, the church stood as a pillar of truth against the...
I woke up this morning, and to my complete shock and dismay, I saw that Southern Baptist Convention president, Bart Barber, is slated to join a secular publication that's hosting hundreds of speakers, 90+ percent of which are progressives, to speak on this issue of...
The Gospel Coalition has made quite the proposition suggesting that a novel source of enlightenment awaits the Church in the most unlikely of places: Barbie. Their article confidently boasts, "Why ‘Barbie’ Matters for the Church." Indeed, amidst centuries of church...
It seriously seems like everywhere you see a congregation of false prophets, there you will find Ed Stetzer wrapped up right in the middle of it. That should tell you something about Stetzer.Ed Stetzer is a former LifeWay executive who, during his reign, experienced a...
This has been quite the summer for movie-themed shenanigans in the pulpit. If it isn't Saddleback pastors dressing up like Toy Story characters, then it's a Top Gun-themed sermon. And if not that, then it's a clown building a bird's nest on stage, climbing in it, and...
Adorned in a Planned Parenthood stole, a woman masquerading as a "pastor" of God's sheep heralds the mantra of death as she celebrates her own two abortions from the pulpit. As the true church, largely compromised, at best, on this issue, stands silent in the face of...
In today's rapidly changing cultural landscape, it is becoming even more important for the church to defend our younger generation by teaching and standing firm on the foundational truths of Scripture. One of the most contentious topics of our day is the issue of...
You may remember a few years ago when Shawn Nepstad, the former pastor of People Church, hauled a dumpster on stage and climbed in it, and began to preach from the dumpster. No, that was not satire, you can see the clip here if you like. But the level of tomfoolery...
The megachurch industrial complex is grappling with a significant dilemma. Often, these churches start small, but are built around a production or personality rather than the gospel itself. It's rare to see a large church that doesn't depend on some form of...
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...
