Every year in February or March, Ash Wednesday kicks off the first day of Lent — a largely Roman Catholic tradition that is essentially a six-week season of grieving and remorse over your sin. It is, however, also observed by Eastern Orthodox, Anglicans, Lutherans,...
With the recent rise of progressive “Christianity” in the last few years, it’s no surprise that one of the prevailing themes is social justice, known colloquially as the "woke" movement. Many denominations have been caught up in the movement forever. But social...
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not placing the blame for the destruction of our society squarely on woman’s shoulders. After all, God held Adam accountable for Eve’s rebellion, did he not? However, there is a trend in society, and we see it taking place in the Church as...
I’m getting really sick of this push for “unity” in the Church among people across the entire political spectrum–the argument is really tiring. I get it, the vast majority of people on both sides of the political equation are lost. In fact, many have grasped on to...
In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, but for...
Ash Wednesday is the first day of the six weeks prior to Easter Sunday that mainly Roman Catholics, but some Protestant denominations celebrate annually by drawing a cross on their foreheads with ashes. As it is the first day of Lent, it begins a season of fasting and...
Christ Himself is the Foundation of the Church When one surveys the history of Christianity and compares that history with the original teachings of Christianity, it can be an eye-opening experience. For example, we know that the Christian church is built by Christ,...
The early beginnings of liberation theology can be traced to Latin America in the 1960s. The thrust of this movement began as a result of young Catholic and Protestant theologians reflecting on the people’s life of faith within the context of the people’s resistance...
So many of us have family and friends who are suffering in some way. Perhaps a chronic illness such as cancer, or some other ailment has taken over the lives of people who were once vibrant, happy, and well. Some may very well be suffering when we don’t know about...
Heresy: Marcionism Marcionism is a heresy that is attributed to an early church figure by the name of Marcion of Sinope. Marcion was the son of a bishop and moved to Rome about 135 AD. Marcion, who was denounced by the early church fathers including Justin, Irenaeus,...
One of the underlying tenets of Marxism is the radical transformation of mass thinking by implementing strategies that cause confusion and undermine the current paradigm. One of these strategies is the introduction of Black Liberation Theology which was popularized by...
LifeWay Christian Stores is the retail chain of the Southern Baptist Convention under the direction of Thom Rainer who has been under fire for many years for peddling heresy to Christians for cash. Previously, LifeWay announced that they would be closing "a number of...
Street preaching is a unique calling and definitely not for everyone. There is never a shortage of challenges hurled at the man on the box proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And why wouldn’t there be? To be sure, anytime the darkness is exposed to the...
The move toward homosexual inclusion in conservative churches has taken an unprecedented turn in the last few years -- one that the historic orthodox Church has never seen. Homosexuality was the one sin God found so egregious that it caused Him to wipe two entire...
There are many battlefronts Christians spread throughout the earth have been commissioned to engage. There are missionaries to unreached nations and there are Pastors called to disciple converted middle-class Americans. One frontline that I am vitally passionate about...
In this episode I offer up a very frank rant about the idea of reparations and whether or not such an idea can co-exist with the biblical doctrines of grace and forgiveness.
Southeastern Seminary is "woke." Danny Akin, its president, is "woke." The Southern Baptist Convention -- well, it's "woke." "Woke" is all the rage these days and if you're not "woke," you're not with it. Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) has an...
With familiar tunes and upbeat rhythms filling the sanctuaries in churches everywhere, Hillsong is by far the most popular producer of mainstream Christian music in the world. They mass produce music from their multi-campus world-wide bands under the labels Hillsong...
Reformation Charlotte has reported in the past on the "Drag Queen Story Hour" that is making its rounds around public libraries in the US. A popular appeal for progressives, parents take their children to be practically groomed for an hour at a public library by a...
I didn't say it. God said it. If you have a problem with it, take it up with God. If you're a believer, then you should believe that the entire Bible was written under the plenary inspiration of the Holy Spirit. That means, you believe the Bible is God's inerrant,...
Well, you know that there is never really anything new under the sun right? Be sure of it; nothing is, not even the concepts fronted by the TGC. The Gospel Coalition banded together as a fellowship of evangelical churches in around 2005. The main idea behind it was to...
Thabiti Anyabwile is the pastor of Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. and a council member for The Gospel Coalition. He is a leading voice in an aberrant movement in the visible Church that is calling for Christians to take up the cause of social justice, primarily...
