Church on the Move, a “church” in Tulsa, Oklahoma puts on a spectacle worthy of nothing but condemnation during Christmas. Instead of drawing people toward the glory of Christ and the reality of what His incarnation means for humanity, productions like this cheapen...
David Hughes, the “pastor” of SBC Megachurch, Church by the Glades in Coral Springs, FL, has turned this “church” into nothing short of a circus. Instead of feeding souls with the gospel, as usual, they were more concerned with putting on a show. When a church trades...
Denzel Washington’s baptism at the Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ (COGIC) in Harlem on December 21, 2024, has made headlines across the religious and secular worlds alike. Touted as a significant spiritual milestone, the event was live-streamed—for maximum...
Jimmy Carter is a name synonymous with many things—39th President of the United States, peanut farmer, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and self-professed devout Christian. Yet, for all the accolades and self-proclaimed humility that have long bolstered his reputation, his...
Joshua Harris—a name that once graced bestseller lists and pulpits—has long been a illustration of peril for those wary of celebrity Christianity. Even before his public renunciation of the faith, many of us saw the writing on the wall. The Christian world has...
In yet another alarming display of the complete implosion of public education, Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista, California, has become the latest example of why parents must abandon these so-called schools—better described as ideological grooming centers—once...
A transforming Christ-meets-mecha toy? Yes, the “Jesus Mecha Christ” transforming toy actually exists. It's like someone sat down and said, “How can I mock both God and basic decency in one fell swoop?” This isn’t art or satire—it’s an abomination born from the unholy...
Previously, I wrote an article calling for discernment while scrutinizing the lyrics of the popular Christmas song, Mary Did You Know? I knew it would be a provocative piece, as it was meant to be. However, my intent was not to dissuade you from enjoying these tunes,...
The Christmas season has a way of draping everything in nostalgia. Familiar carols, the warm glow of lights, and the cozy rituals of family traditions tend to stir something deep within us. But more often than not, I hear a song that makes me stop and think—sometimes...
The birth of Christ is, without question, the most significant event in human history—a moment that split time itself into “before” and “after.” And yet, every year, we watch the world reduce it to a garish spectacle of consumerism. The celebration of Christ’s...
Christmas is upon us again—the season of twinkling lights, cheerful songs, endless shopping, and, yes, Santa with his elves performing acrobatics on our bookshelves. The world, predictably, is consumed with the “season” itself, offering little more than cheap...
Imagine living in a world so consumed by political hysteria that some women are now permanently sterilizing themselves because of an election outcome. In response to Donald Trump’s presidency—or the mere fear of what they believe it represents—certain self-proclaimed...
Public schools are quickly becoming Satanic temples. Don’t believe me? Look at Edgewood Elementary in Marysville, Ohio, where they’ve rolled out the red carpet for The Satanic Temple’s new “Hellion Academy of Independent Learning.” An actual program named HAIL is now...
Matthew Stevenson, the self-appointed prophet and spiritual guru of the All Nations Worship Assembly empire, is not just a false teacher—he is a charlatan of the highest order. With a ministry built on emotional manipulation, pseudo-theological ramblings, and a...
Many people here in America have heard of assisted suicide and believe that it is something that doesn’t really happen here. It’s the kind of thing you imagine in some dystopian novel or a distant land where human life is treated like a commodity, bartered away in the...
In Andy Stanley’s latest sermon, he makes several claims that are either outright heretical or lead to heresy when taken to its logical conclusion. I would like to break these claims down and address them point by point. "When the New Testament authors began writing,...
Listen to this trash from these hellbound heathens pretending to be a church—a “non-binary God” with plural pronouns, as if the One who thundered from Sinai is now taking cues from Twitter pronoun bios. They repeat this “creed” to their “non-binary” “Jesus.”I believe...
The creeping plague of wokeness has infiltrated many churches like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It doesn’t always announce itself with a flashing neon sign but seeps in, subtly reframing priorities, redefining terms, and reinterpreting Scripture. What typically begins...
As the preacher tells us in Ecclesiastes 1:9: "What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun." Imagine a world filled with people, daring and brash, piling brick upon brick, mortar upon mortar,...
People—those who are far more ignorant of the Scriptures than they care to admit—love to claim that the Bible presents two contradictory images of God. They point to the loving Jesus who embraced sinners and then to the wrathful God who commanded...
Tony Campolo has breathed his last. On November 19, 2024, at the age of 89, the man who spent decades bending the gospel to the will of culture passed into eternity—an eternity that his teachings betrayed. On that day, Campolo heard those dreaded words from the Lord,...
It’s been a while since I’ve written about “the vaccine,” but this is surprising news, relevant to us all. Especially in light of the article I recently published about the media hiding the truth from us. But a bombshell study has emerged, and it confirms what many...
You’ve heard of deconstruction, it’s a term being tossed around increasingly frequently within Christian circles. But what exactly is deconstruction? It’s the trendy, intellectual-sounding label for what’s really just old-fashioned doubt dressed up in new clothes....
Union Theological Seminary held a "Drag Communion" event in their chapel, featuring drag performers presiding over the Lord’s Table while attendees were invited to dress in drag or any other “fabulous” way they saw fit.The event promised to explore the “queerness” of...

The Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) industry is a modern-day embodiment of false worship and idolatry—mooching off the name of Christ to launch careers, only to end up apostatizing, blaspheming Him, and supporting the very things God abhors, like homosexuality,...
It’s bad enough that our government pushes radical leftism at the expense of our sanity in our own nation, but did you know these leftists are spending your money to promote homosexuality around the world?Okay, so let’s talk about USAID, shall we? You know, the United...
Apostasy—which comes from the Greek word apostasia ("ἀποστασία") which literally means in the context of Scripture, departure -- or falling away. In other words, it refers to those who have professed Christ, especially for a long time, and then have renounced their...
I'm certainly no prophet, but here’s what’s undeniable—from Genesis to Revelation, the Bible makes it clear that when people reject God and embrace idolatry, His judgment and wrath will inevitably follow.We see this picture painted vividly in Romans 1, where God...

Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, leftists have come unglued thinking about the possibility of their religious sacrament of child sacrifice being taken from them. And honestly, the likelihood of that happening is slim to none—most Americans actually...
Progressives love to bully the right for taking a political stance in the pulpit, but nobody plays politics in the pulpit better than these radicalized, unhinged leftists. In a recently surfaced video clip, in a laughable display of political theater, Atlanta pastor...
The recent abortion statistics from Scotland published in a press release by Right to Life UK reveal a horrifying reality—abortions reached an unprecedented high in 2023, with 18,207 innocent lives lost. This represents a 9.63% increase from the previous year, and a...
Just recently, the Episcopal Church—a totally apostate harlot that bears no resemblance whatsoever to the Bride of Christ—unveiled a new logo. This new "Pride shield" shamelessly merges the historic Episcopal shield with the garish colors of the LGBTQABCDEFG+++ Pride...
Behind the scenes of a Southern Baptist megachurch empire, a subtle shift of power is underway, cloaked in the guise of tradition. The recent announcement that Ed Young Sr., the long-standing senior pastor of Second Baptist Church in Houston, is stepping down and...
For Christians, that contentious time of the year is approaching—pride month. As June unfolds, relentless LGBTQ propaganda will practically engulf our lives. You’ll see it everywhere—on television, in your children's schools, in your workplace, on billboards, in the...

The president of Gateway Seminary, a Southern Baptist Convention seminary, has come out against implementing measures that would see the convention stay true to God's word. In an article at the Baptist Press, Jeff Iorg's objections to the Mike Law amendment regarding...
Union Theological Seminary has a storied history that dates back to its Presbyterian founding in 1836. Despite its origins, the seminary has always been a center for liberalism, never truly grounding itself in the Scriptures or the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Over the...
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...
In a spectacle reminiscent of the prophet Elijah who mocked the prophets of Baal, Greg Locke’s recent ordination as an "apostle" at Global Vision Bible Church reeks of theological absurdity. This grandiose ceremony, officiated by Southern Baptist pastor Malachi...
by Jim Fennell This is Part IV in the “pride month” series… The Civil Rights Act was passed by Congress with the approval of President Lyndon Johnson on July 2, 1964. In 1969 in New York City, the ‘gay movement came out’ demanding that they be given their ‘civil...
The modern world has no shortage of counterfeits—be it counterfeit money, counterfeit Chinese goods, or counterfeit churches. But in the midst of all the counterfeits stands one eternal, unchanging truth, Jesus Christ. Yet, even His name has not been spared from the...
For those of us who take the Christian faith seriously, we understand that the Bible is not just a collection of stories and wisdom, but the actual, revealed word of God. And contrary to what popular prosperity "pastor" Steven Furtick may believe, the Bible is not...

After 169 years, Spurgeon’s College has shut its doors. The official reason given is financial strain, but let’s not act like we didn’t know this was coming. This wasn’t a spreadsheet accident. It was a self-inflicted wound, an institutional suicide stunt. And Rick...

Pastor Luke Ash lost his job at a public library in Louisiana for refusing to play pretend. That’s the story in its simplest, clearest form. He wouldn’t call a woman a man. He wouldn’t lie. And for that unpardonable sin against the Church of Woke Inclusivity, he was...

Bethel Church in Redding, California, pastored by Bill Johnson and co-pastored by Kris Vallotton—men who arrogantly believe themselves to be “prophets” and “Apostles”—has earned its reputation as a factory of spiritual fraudulence. This is the same Bethel that gave us...

In Mexico, tales of the chupacabra have become much more than just rural folklore. They’re stories with enough credible sightings to make you wonder if these bloodsucking creatures really do stalk the countryside. But whether or not they’re real hardly matters. What...
The popular television series, "The Chosen," sits comfortably at the center of the modern religious imagination, charming countless professing Christians with its picturesque portrayal of its gospel—another gospel. In the real world, where wolves dress up as lambs and...

Picture the dawn of October 31, 1517—a world on the brink of spiritual and cultural revolution. The cold morning air in Wittenberg bit at the hands of a young, restless monk as he walked distinctly determined through the streets, the sun barely rising to meet his...
Contrast—what a concept, simple yet immense. In its essence, contrast is the art of opposition, the power of two divergent things placed side by side, each making the other clearer, more defined, and more intense. It is the interplay of light against shadow, the...
Under a heavy sky, they circle—their black wings slicing the air in slow, silent anticipation. The vultures descend, talons stretched, to settle upon the rotting remains of faith laid bare in the dust. Their beaks are sharp and unforgiving, tearing into the sinews of...

Michelle Obama’s latest comments have taken her brand of divisive “empowerment” to a new low as she addresses women, urging them to see themselves as “more than baby-making vessels.” But worse, she suggested they vote in favor of abortion rights, even if it means...
Justin Welby—Britain’s highest-ranking Church of England figure, yet increasingly more politician than pastor—demonstrates once again just how apostate the denomination is. When asked about “gay sex,” Welby says, essentially, as long as it’s within a “committed...
