Hillsong's music is awful, it is misguided and the object of its lyrics is often misfocused. And in the wake of Hillsong's current train of sex scandals and its subsequent falling apart, nothing has become more obvious to anyone paying attention that the purpose of...
The horror of the murderous act of abortion cannot be more atrocious than when performed on children whose mothers are only children themselves. Abortion is always horrible, regardless of gestational age, and should be considered murder and made illegal in every...

Even though today is April 1, we need not make outlandish things up in order to demonstrate the foolishness and absurdity this world has come to. The insanity has reached never-before-seen heights and depths as not only the secular world, but even that which professes...
Remember when the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus during His baptism by John the Baptist and God's voice could be heard from Heaven saying "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased"? Yep, that was God affirming that His Son, Jesus, was the Christ who came...
To quote one Twitter user, someone needs to take the keyboard away from The Gospel Coalition. That's because The Gospel Coalition (TGC) has traded the gospel for the pagan culture and has essentially become an outlet for finding "Jesus themes" in every pagan movie or...
You're probably aware by now that Disney has promised to significantly increase its pro-LGBTQ propaganda as Disney released a statement denouncing the anti-child-grooming legislation that was recently passed in Florida. Disney entertainment executive, Karey Burke, was...

Tim Keller has been heralded as one of the "great thinkers" of modern Evangelicalism. With his pseudo-intellectualism and his pithy comments, it's easy for him to garner thousands of "likes" on social media from the mindless, unable-to-think-for-themselves NPCs all...
I've been blowing the whistle on Russell Moore since 2013 when he took office at the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC). For nearly a decade, Moore was the most influential man of the so-called "conservative" denomination as...
Evangelicals are never more than right behind the culture when it comes to social justice. Whatever the progressive left does politically, the progressive left Church soon follows suit. Spearheaded by outlets such as The Gospel Coalition and the Southern Baptist...
It should surprise literally no one that Revoice, the "gay Christian" movement that is thriving in the so-called "conservative" Presbyterian Church (PCA), promotes some really odd things when it comes to sexuality. After all, it is the same movement that promotes...
During a recent episode of The Sword and the Trowel with Tom Ascol of Founders, Voddie Baucham was asked about an incident that happened years ago where he was cut off by LifeWay for speaking up about the "unethical treatment" of another author. It turns out that the...
Despite the rank heresy that false teachers like Andy Stanley continue to peddle, Christianity actually does hinge on the accuracy and authority of Scripture. The Scriptures, which are God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16-17), are the inspired words of God himself written...
The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a spiritual cult whose roots can be traced back to the New Order of the Latter Rain. The Latter Rain movement, a Pentecostal dominionist movement founded in the 1940s by George R. Hawtin, Herrick Holt, and Percy Hunt, has morphed...

I don't watch the Oscars, and I really couldn't care much less about what happens at these carnal events except for when they begin to affect the Bride of Christ. And, of course, as is usually the case, it does. So if you're not aware by now, actor and rapper, Will...

Whether you love Paul Washer or hate him, you have to admit, this man was gifted with a powerful ability to draw one's attention to their own pride and extract the kind of truth that makes one examine himself in light of the Scriptures and the gospel. Rarely do I walk...
AWANA is a program used by many Evangelical churches as a tool to train children in various areas of discipleship, primarily, Scripture memorization. While churches use the program in varying degrees—ranging from nothing more than practicing and reciting Scripture to...

In a rare display of support for the right to life and liberty and self-defense upheld by the Second Amendment to the Constitution, one Florida Sheriff has publicly warned protesters to stay out of suburban neighborhoods because people in his county like guns and will...
It's one thing that the government and leftists spend so many resources trying to censor the world from information, but when the Church does it, we've entered a completely different realm. The Church has historically been a champion of freedom and free thought -- it,...

John MacArthur has been almost single-handedly taking the heat from both the right and the left for his stand for religious liberty. As the California government has unleashed its wrath upon MacArthur, he and his congregation have stood strong in the midst of what is...

In this episode, I rant about the way pagan culture, liberal Christians, and even evangelical Christians and leaders are arrogantly employing the second greatest commandment to bully and intimidate Christians so that they behave and think according to their own...
We all knew that it was coming, but what we didn't know is that public schools would be so blatant and open about it. Under normal circumstances, teachers and schools are protected by a shield of secrecy that protects them from criticism and hides their activism...
