Last month, The Dissenter reported on the newly-proposed partnership between the Southern Baptist Convention’s North American Mission Board (NAMB) and a heretical “evangelism” ministry called He Gets Us. He Gets Us, as we demonstrated, is not only a gay-affirming...
In an unsurprising blow to traditional, conservative Christians, the Church of England's Synod passed a motion allowing same-sex couples to have a religious blessing ceremony in their local church. Despite the pleas of Bishop of London, Sarah Mullally, for unity, the...
Elevation Church is a powerhouse in the contemporary Christian music industry and rivals that of two of the most insidious faux Christian movements in the world—Hillsong and Bethel Church. The so-called "worship" music that comes out of Elevation is very popular and...
We brought to you a while back a recent spectacle at the Center for Hope, a United Methodist church in Wintersville, Ohio, where a couple sang a trite and manipulative cover of “Eye of the Tiger,” is just one example of the degradation and degeneration that plagues...

Jesus told Christians to be set apart from the world. Yet, somehow in modern times, what passes as "Christianity" is virtually indistinguishable from the paganized culture and is often designed that way on purpose.As we've written about numerous times over the years,...
I don't think you have to be a complete iconoclast to know when depicting God crosses the line. God's commandments are clear—"you shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above" and "You shall not bow down to them."What...
I recently had an exchange with Jared Moore, a pastor and a graduate of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS), who has been exposing much of the bad theology within the Southern Baptist Convention over sexuality. Moore recently started a firestorm on Twitter...
