JD Greear has stepped up to the plate in an attempt to defend his reputation against Megan Basham’s allegations in Shepherds for Sale, but his response is more akin to a magician's sleight of hand than a genuine rebuttal. In an article titled “An Open Response to...
Last week, the notorious anti-conservative faux “Christian” NYT commentator, David French, announced he would not be voting for Trump, but instead, for Kamala Harris “precisely because I am conservative.” Of course, this is beyond idiotic and foolish. Whether or not...
The women's rights movement began with a seemingly noble intention—to ensure that women were treated with dignity and respect and that they had the right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness just as any man should. It was a battle against what an increasingly...

The United Methodist Church (UMC) stands at a precipice, torn between the progressive degeneracy that has infected its American and Western branches and the commitment to a biblical sexual ethic still upheld by its African counterparts. Nowhere is this divide more...
When a true believer goes to church on Sunday morning, they expect the Scriptures to be opened, read, and taught. They expect God to be honored and worshiped in spirit and in truth. They expect the Word of God to convict us of our sin and encourage us in our walk,...

Update: Brent Leatherwood was reinstated as president of ERLC after chairman, Smith, claims he acted alone and violated the bylaws of the ERLC in firing Leatherwood. However, on a personal speculative note, I'm not buying for one second that Smith, a far-left...

Lecrae, who describes himself as a “rapper who happens to be Christian” and is “done with white Evangelicalism,” has taken a sharp turn in the last couple of years to align himself with the Pagan culture rather than the Kingdom of Christ. Over the last few years,...
In the escalating conflict between religion, biblical Christianity in particular, and the ever-evolving tides of Secularism, the distinction has never been more profound or more critical. Biblical Christianity, which is anchored in the sovereignty and lordship of...

The Bible tells us that in the last days, deception will not just be a part-time job for the adversary but more like a booming industry, with falsehoods so tailor-made they'd give bespoke tailoring a run for its money. In this era of unprecedented information and...
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...

by Tom Hill Bible Text: Isaiah 59:1-2 Mankind rejects the idea of the wrath of God against sin. They say that it does not fit God's character. They distinguish between the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament. The tribal God of the Old Testament...
In our modern "American Christianity" religio-political landscape, there's a trendy but wrong-headed chorus echoing from the left. The Bible, they claim, is practically a blueprint for a government-run welfare stystem. With zeal, they point to verses championing the...

In an era where the identity politics playbook is seemingly rewritten daily, the latest Gallup poll's findings—that 7.6% of U.S. adults now identify as LGBTQ+—is less a statistic and more a cultural bellwether. It's like a canary in the coal mine for traditional...
In an age where priorities are as clear as mud, it's utterly refreshing to see our leaders focus on the real issues at hand. Take, for instance, the fact that we can't even get the VP to visit the Southern Border—a place of mere national security, humanitarian crises,...
Jermell Witherspoon, leading Atlanta's "Enlightened Path Ministry," is a controversial figure, no doubt, embracing damnable heresies and marching minions into the pits of Hell. His amalgamation of the prosperity gospel, modernist interpretations, and extra-biblical...
I don't know what's going on at Disney, but the company appears to be a breeding ground for pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, left-wing activists. It seems practically every child actress who goes through the indoctrination process at Disney turns out to be one of these...
The world's current obsession as it relates to social justice is "equity." Succinctly stated, equity is equality of outcome, as opposed to equality, which is equal treatment. In other words, equity ensures that all people are treated how they need to be treated to...
You may remember last year when The Dissenter published an article denouncing the deeply erotic and nearly pornographic nature in which a TGC author, Joshua Butler, described Christ's relationship to the Church. While his description was extremely graphic, comparing...

Once upon a time, Southern Baptists knew what a pastor was. Not that it was ever complicated. The Bible, clear as a bell, lays it out—a pastor is a man, called by God, qualified by Scripture, and entrusted with the shepherding of the flock. And for a while, the SBC...
