We at The Dissenter have been warning about The Gospel Coalition (TGC) and its clones like Together for the Gospel (T4G) for years and years upon years ago, we concluded that these organizations were compromised in such a way that they shouldn't even be called...
In a landmark ruling, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled on Friday that life begins at conception. Referencing God, the ruling states that life begins at conception and is inherently valuable, underscoring a profound respect for the sanctity of unborn life. The Court's...
If I say to the wicked, 'You shall surely die,' and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die forhis iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the...
There is so much in this world masquerading as "Christianity" and this blog endeavors to equip believers to be able to discern what is good from what is evil. In fact, in the like-mindedness of Charles Spurgeon, it's more important to be able to discern what's right...
In Matthew 22:23-33, the scriptures report a confrontation between Jesus and the Sadducees, the theological liberals of that day. They were trying to trick Him, so they described a woman who had married a succession of brothers, each of whom died without issue. In the...
An important theme in the New Testament is the role that conscience plays in human lives. We immediately think of its role in the life of the believer, but we should never forget that the unbeliever has a conscience, too, though he deals with it in a very different...
How often do you judge others? Seldom? Frequently? Daily? Never? How well do you know those whom you judge? Public figures? Friends? Family? What criteria do you use in your judgments? Personal experience? Factual information? Opinion? We make direct, personal...
In Ezekiel 18, that prophet gives us this rebuke to Israel from her God: "Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine: the soul who sins shall die" (Ezekiel 18:4). This verse is often taken out of context to mean that sin...
According to many significant scientists, the universe popped out of nothing with a neon sign proclaiming, “Well, here we are.” That is a little irreverent, but that is what many “experts” teach. Moreover, they are offended if you roll your eyes at that ludicrous...
I understand that a lot of people in conservative circles are skeptical about the direction Mohler has been taking over the last few years. After all, Mohler is responsible for placing many of the woke, social justice warriors into their posts around the Southern...
With apologies to Kierkegaard, there are two ways to be deceived. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. I prefer always to assume the Bible is right, while atheists always assume the scientists are right. Both positions are...
"Am I a God at hand, declares the Lord, and not a God far away? Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord." —Jeremiah 23:23-24 With the Scriptures, Christians have always...
"Now, the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it - the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of...
In his article, “Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople,” Keller stated that the ability to know God could result from an evolutionary process. He supposed that traits necessary for evolutionary survival and reproduction can also enable a person to believe in...
For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with You.The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all evildoers.You destroy those who speak lies; the Lord...
In one of the most absurd arguments I've ever heard in my life, the Cross Politic podcast which now includes former Founders Ministry co-host, Jared Longshore, blamed transgenderism on Baptist theology. The argument was essentially that because Baptists allow...
One of the most misused verses in Scripture is Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." The verse is rampant in the sports industry and misquoted by athletes who want to apply the verse to their phenomenal ability to play sports. But...
For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.1 John 3:11 Christians are commanded to love one another. This command permeates through all of life and every facet of ministry. Paul commands the Corinthians church “Let...
Too often, many have attempted to trivialize the gospel into something less than what it is. For some, the gospel is universal—Christ died to save all and there is nothing more to it. For others, the gospel is that Jesus came to exemplify a "good life" we must live to...
Mostly prominent in charismatic circles, people will often claim that prayer moves God, and the more we pray—the more "prayer warriors" we invoke—the more we can move Him. But does prayer actually move God? In one sense, it does. First off, we have to understand that...
Because this nation has turned its back on Christ, God has clearly removed his hand of restraint and this nation continues to devolve into moral decay. Of course, God is not in covenant with America, He is in covenant with His people, the Church. But the general...
1st Corinthians 5 (NASB)1-It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father’s wife. 2-You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one...
