Andy Stanley’s disdain for the Holy Scriptures is a well-established fact, and it is nothing new that he has been vocal in his condemnation of the inerrancy and authority of the Word of God.Andy Stanley says "theological diversity" is his church's strength because it...
“Reverend” Caroline Unzaga—ever heard of her? No? Well, that's understandable, given that she's the latest in a long line of clergy more interested in appeasing the ever-ravenous gods of wokeness than actually preaching the gospel, not that she’s qualified to do so....
During the Protestant Reformation, the cry "No Peace with Rome" echoed like a thunderclap across Europe, a bold declaration by those who refused to compromise with the corruption and heresy festering within the Roman Catholic Church. The reformers knew that to align...
In a performance worthy of her self-anointed status as America’s spiritual guide, Oprah Winfrey took the stage at the DNC to deliver what can only be described as a sermon on the sanctity of abortion. With the gravitas of a high priestess delivering her divine...
In the latest chapter of the DNC’s ongoing saga of spectacular contradictions and performative wokeness, we are now treated to the marvel of a "gender-neutral prayer room" at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. It’s bad enough that the women’s...
You know it’s time to grab the nearest wall to bang your head against when you hear the latest news from Christianity Today. In a move that makes you question whether they’ve completely lost their minds—or perhaps their Bibles—the once-somewhat respected, somewhat...
Phil Vischer, the creator of the children’s cartoon series VeggieTales—who is now better known for peddling bad doctrine under the guise of Christian-themed entertainment—has taken a nosedive into the depths of woke madness. Vischer has solidified his place among the...
Historically, Christianity was the foundation of Western civilization, shaping its very core with civilization drawing from its worldview—everything from science to business ethics to sound logic and reason. But today, a sinister new cult has slithered into every...
The Church of England—once a pillar of Christian orthodoxy—has become a parody of its former self, bending over backward to appease a world that couldn’t care less. Established by Henry VIII’s ego-driven break from Rome, this institution has now traded the gospel for...
That places parading as "churches" have handed themselves over to Satan and his legion of homosexual sycophants isn't exactly breaking news anymore. These dens of iniquity, teeming with demonic influence, proudly flaunt their "gay pride" as if it were a divine...
Over the last year or so, we’ve been reporting that the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention, had adopted a new mantra in its abortion rhetoric—“making abortion unthinkable.” Yet, the ERLC, under the guise of defending...
In June 2023, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) appeared to take what we thought might be a decisive stand against the creeping influence of progressivism within its ranks by voting to amend its constitution to explicitly ban women pastors. What turned out to be...
Missouri's Amendment 3—the latest brainchild of the so-called "champions of freedom," who seem to have mistaken a graveyard for the land of the free and the home of the brave. Here we go again, with the same old song and dance, where "reproductive rights" apparently...
Evangelicalism’s “White Guilt” apostle, Latasha Morrison—what can be said that isn’t already obvious to anyone paying attention? She’s the founder of "Be the Bridge," a so-called Christian organization that is primarily concerned with cultivating white guilt within...
Imagine, if you will, a group of people so detached from reality that they’ve decided Kamala Harris—a politician whose life and career is a veritable checklist of anti-Christian sentiment and policies—is actually a "faithful and committed Christian." Enter...
The left's favorite queer political escort, Pete Buttigieg, is giving standing ovations to Kamala Harris for making "freedom" the centerpiece of her campaign. In a video clip that oozes with the same kind of insincere charm you'd expect from a seasoned hustler,...
The Gospel Coalition (TGC) is one of the Evangelical’s trunk lines for piping in worldliness and carnality straight into the heart of the church. If the three-ring circus that operates the organization isn’t busy finding gospel themes in Barbie or comparing Taylor...

Have you ever seen those montages of local television news stations that repeat nearly identical talking points on each one? It’s almost like they’re all taking orders from some hidden higher authority and their words are being beamed down to them from a starship and...
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...
Did you know that there's actually a "Christians for Kamala" conference? Yes, you read that right. In the ever-bizarre world of progressive Christianity, this event is being billed as a gathering of believers united in support of Kamala Harris.I couldn’t believe it...

Our favorite "rapper who happens to be Christian," Lecrae, is at it again with his wild explanations of why black people deserve reparations. A few years ago, you may remember that Lecrae, who is worth millions according to Celebrity Net Worth, joined the CEO of...
In the Old Testament, the account of Lot's escape from Sodom and Gomorrah stands as a merciful, yet unyielding testament to the gravity of God's judgment against the moral decay that is prevalent in a society that has turned its back on God. This ancient yet timeless...

In my previous exposition, Ten Reasons Why a Christian Should Never Attend a Homosexual "Wedding," I cataloged a series of arguments, painting a picture of how such events are an abomination in the eyes of God. The list, although somewhat extensive, only skimmed the...

Of all the woke garbage I've heard over the years, this might be the most desperate attempt I've ever seen at a last-ditch effort to make a point. As more and more people are waking up to the leftist agenda and rejecting the notion of "racial trauma" as an...
The Roman Catholic pope recently made remarks that demonstrate that the Catholic Church is as committed to sound doctrine as a mirage is to offering water in the desert. As reported by "Libero Quotidiano," his words represent a profound deviation from Christian...
In this age where an invasion of social justice ideology has overwhelmed theological precision in Evanglelical circles, The Gospel Coalition (TGC) is front and center waving the multi-shaded flag of wokeness. It's clear that TGC's foolish embrace and promulgation of a...

The film "1946" has ruffled more than a few feathers with its bold assertion that the term 'homosexuality' was erroneously introduced into the Bible only in the mid-20th century. This claim, while sensational, crumbles under the weight of historical, biblical, and...
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)—a phrase that has echoed through the halls of corporations, academic institutions, and even churches, has become a topic of significant debate and concern. The roots of DEI programs are indeed deeply entrenched in ideologies that...
