Anyone needing another reason to abandon all hope in a political savior, here's one: a federal judge has now ruled that Christian parents cannot opt their children out of LGBTQ lessons in public schools. For now, the ruling applies to Maryland parents, but unless the...
by Chris ColeWe live in a time where the culture has returned to a pre-Christian stage, in which every man does what is right in his own eyes (Judges 21:25). Things which were considered too shameful for polite company within the lifetimes of man of us living today...
A.W. Tozer famously said that "A church that can not worship MUST be entertained." Much like Spurgeon's famous quote that we often repeat on this blog, Tozer echoes the sentiments that a time will come when instead of pastors feeding sheep, clowns will entertain the...
While Evangelicals -- and Southern Baptists in particular -- are all in on Black History Month to talk about what a great "Christian hero" Martin Luther King Jr. was, it's important to remember that King denied several essentials of the faith that placed him outside...
On the 94th birthday of Martin Luther King Jr, President Joe Biden delivered a sermon at the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, which is led by "pro-choice pastor" Senator Raphael Warnock. At the historic church, where King himself once preached, Biden's...
The entire purpose of the gospel is to glorify God in saving sinners from His wrath, to demonstrate His mercy and kindness juxtaposed against a backdrop of what would righteously be eternal damnation of all of our souls. But in God's wisdom, kindness, and grace, He...
Upon arrival, one is immediately enveloped in an aura of opulence and refinement. The entrance, adorned with lavish marble flooring and sparkling chandeliers, sets the tone for the sumptuous journey that lies ahead. The staff, dressed impeccably in crisp uniforms,...
The Word of God is like a vast ocean, deep and unfathomable, yet crystal clear and invigorating. It is the means by which we guard our hearts—the wellspring of life—quenching the thirst of the soul and nourishing the mind. For the man, born of water and of spirit, to...
The twisting of Scripture for personal gain is nothing new, but I have observed a rapidly growing and disturbing trend among politicians who claim to be Christians and religious leaders who support them, who attempt to reason that certain passages of Scripture hold...
As we find ourselves in the tumultuous and uncertain times of the church age, it is of utmost importance that we exercise discernment in discerning the truth of scripture from the plethora of falsehoods that seek to assail our faith. The great theologian and pastor...
The modern Evangelical church often presents what appears to be a vibrant and pulsating atmosphere, a facade brimming with the fervor of the congregation as they begin to assemble. The ambiance is thick with a sense of anticipation and expectation as the lights dim...
This is not satire, this actually happened. It is truly staggering and deeply concerning to hear the absurdity of the claims made by certain members of the Democratic party regarding the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. This legislation, passed by the...
Dear Mother, Made in the Image of God,I write to you today with a message of hope, a message that should pierce through the veil of despair that has enshrouded your heart, and bring forth a ray of light to guide you out of the dark abyss of guilt and shame. I...
The subject of Christian Nationalism has risen to the forefront of the current discourse on religious and political affairs, its very mention inciting a firestorm of passion and disagreement not unlike the tempestuous controversies that plagued the late pop icon,...
Let us imagine a man, a pastor, who forsakes the traditional trappings of his calling, forgoing the pulpit for a mere stool. He sits, not with the regal bearing of a man called by God to deliver his word, but with the slouching posture of a man worn down by the...
The doctrine of immanence holds that God is intimately and actively engaged in the world and the lives of human beings, rather than being detached and aloof. This doctrine posits that God is both transcendent and immanent, transcending human understanding yet present...
It is a criminal offense, high treason, against a Holy and righteous God that the liberal Protestant denominations have allowed drag queens to infiltrate their churches and defile their sanctuaries. These clowns, who flaunt deviant and sinful lifestyles for cash and...
The Enneagram, which is touted as a way–apart from the Scriptures–to gain insight into one’s “true self,” restoring balance and developing more desirable qualities to one’s personality and reaching a state of spiritual “freedom,” is a system of personality typing and...
The concept of the aseity of God, or God's independence and self-sufficiency, is a fundamental doctrine in Christianity and constitutes one of God's key incommunicable attributes. This doctrine finds its roots in scripture, which attests to God's absolute sovereignty...
Tim Keller's preoccupation with social justice within his theological discourse is a matter of concern that merits critical evaluation by those who adhere to his teachings. In his sermons, he frequently posits a significant emphasis on social justice issues, often...
As we've been covering at The Dissenter, charismatic-style worship music has been gaining influence in mainstream Evangelical and Protestant churches. One up-and-coming artist we've been keeping tabs on is Charity Gayle. Despite her background in Oneness...
I know this story has been out for a couple of weeks now, but I really felt the urge to add my thoughts. Back in December, a British woman was arrested for praying on a public sidewalk near an abortion clinic. She wasn't interacting with anyone nor was she involved in...
