Not because God’s Word deserves mockery—it never does. Because the people claiming to speak for God become so preposterous that satire practically writes itself. If you’ve never heard of Bobby Conner, he’s one of the more recognizable figures in the hypercharismatic world. His followers present him as […]

It has teeth. It has sulfur on it. It walks into the room wearing a black robe and carrying a bucket of theological gasoline. So who are these satanic Christians? According to Tate, they are Christians whose positions on […]

That alone is enough to make the secular managerial class start sweating through its blazer. The event was called “Rededicate 250: National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving,” and it was tied to America’s 250th […]

Let that settle in for a moment. At its 227th General Assembly, the denomination approved an overture declaring that the PCUSA “supports all individuals to have access to all medically necessary, evidence-based gender-affirming healthcare.” The final vote wasn’t close.

It took a liberal assumption, treated it like ancient constitutional granite, polished it with precedent, and handed it back to the country as though the debate had already been settled by Moses on Sinai. The case is Trump […]

For twenty-four glorious hours, we can set aside the endless lectures about identity and self-expression and redirect our attention toward an entirely different category. Racial grievance. Happy Juneteenth. Another year. Another round of compulsory enthusiasm for a […]

A mother is now a gestating parent. A father is now a non-gestating parent. Some people will immediately rush to assure […]

The modern LGBT cult may not be offering wine to a Greek god, but the similarities between the movements are difficult to ignore. Dionysus—literally the effeminate god of ancient queerdom—represented ecstasy, excess, the suspension […]

That was my first thought when I heard Josh Howerton describe giving church members a “once in a maybe lifetime opportunity” to sit down and ask their pastor questions. Read that again.
