The many ways that some movements have perverted the history and theology of Christ is a phenomenon that has perplexed many of us throughout history. At its root, this twisting of biblical truth typically stems from a desire to justify personal ideologies and...
A few months ago, I published a video on Twitter of a man named Curtis Chang who made the asinine argument that getting the COVID vaXX was just like Jesus saving people—the vaccine "redeemed an abortion" the same way Jesus redeems sinners. That was literally his...
In a world awash with the deceptive allure of secular progressivism, a sinister myth has crept into the hearts of many, even within the sacred confines of the Church. It's the poisoned idea that Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Savior of humanity, was an advocate for...
Benny Hinn is unequivocally a false teacher, a purveyor of doctrines that grossly contradict the inerrant Word of God as revealed in the Bible. His teachings, soaked in the charismatic soup of the prosperity gospel, are a plague on true Christianity, twisting the...
In our continuing examination of the snares afflicting the modern church, we have delved into various traps such as superficial unity, cultural appeasement, and the distortion of biblical convictions. As we arrive at Part X of this critical series, we uncover yet...
In a move that has raised eyebrows within the denomination, Southern Baptist podcaster and Executive Committee member, Jonathan Howe has been appointed as the interim president and CEO of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) Executive Committee, following the sudden...
In an era marked by uncertainty and a drift away from biblical truth, the warnings and judgments found in the pages of Scripture serve as grave reminders to us. These historical accounts are not merely tales of a bygone era but resounding calls to fidelity and...
The world today is flooded with distorted depictions and representations of Jesus Christ. In a quest for relevancy and appeal, modern culture, and even most modern churches, have twisted the figure of Jesus into something more palatable, more in line with human...
In the fascinating journey through the snares that entangle the modern church, the lure of "Cultural Appeasement" in Part VIII highlighted the ways in which church leaders and congregations can be ensnared by the desire to satisfy worldly desires. Now, we turn our...
An unsettling trend of disregard for biblical inerrancy and authority has swept through the modern church, ushering in an era of half-hearted fidelity to the Word of God. Popular false teachers like Andy Stanley, who spends the majority of his time belittling the...

In the sphere of what some call "pastoral leadership," Mike Todd, the "pastor" of Transformation Church has shamelessly gained recognition through shenanigans that are nothing short of disgraceful and offensive. Over the past few years, he degraded the act of tithing...
Christianity Today has truly outdone itself by stringing together the so-called "epic trifecta" of Greta Gerwig's Barbie, Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour, and Taylor Swift's Eras Tour into a fanciful tale of cultural enlightenment. If we are to believe this narrative,...
In the modern age, it's not uncommon to find churches falling into a pattern of cheesy, shallow worship music. The superficiality of these songs often reveals much about the theology in the church itself. When a church preaches and a congregation subscribes to shallow...
Alex Jones has definitely gone off the deep end, and it's for different reasons than most leftists would have you believe. There was once a time when I was caught up in the hype of Jones and his takes. Jones is known for his provocative takes on conspiracy theories,...
One of my favorite follows on Twitter is Woke Preacher Clips (WPC). I'm the kind of person who is *mildly* entertained by the mass amounts of stupidity plaguing our world, but at the same time, I grieve over it in the hopes that God will open the eyes of some of these...
In a recent conversation with The Gospel Coalition (TGC) in it’s “Good Faith Debates” series, TGC Contributor, Andrew Wilson argued his views on self-defense, gun control, and biblical mandates regarding turning the other cheek. His argument can be generously...
An alarming trend of arrests of Christians preaching the gospel in public spaces—a completely legal and constitutionally protected activity—is beginning to break of real and actual persecution in the United States. Just two weeks ago, we reported that a young teen was...
Todd White is a charlatan of the highest order, masquerading as a preacher and pastor. His supposed “healings” are nothing more than cheap parlor tricks, and his association with known false prophets and heretics should be a red flag to anyone who encounters him. But...
Anyone who still believes that the popular television show, The Chosen, is a Christian television show is deceiving themselves. While Christians and churches have been entranced by this show for the last several years, many of us have been sounding the alarm...
In Part VII of our series on the Snares of the Modern Church, we delved into the pitfalls of "Cultural Relevance," where the church, in its quest to be relatable, risks compromising core beliefs. Now, in Part VIII, we navigate the treacherous waters of "Cultural...
Eric Metaxas used to be someone who, while not completely devoted to sound doctrine, his version of “mere Christianity” at least fell somewhere between the bounds of orthodoxy–even if grazing the very edge of it. In recent years, however, that can no longer be the...

It's always a good time when the self-proclaimed prophets come out with their latest and greatest predictions about the future, especially when it comes to the return of Donald Trump to office and other political prophecies. And boy, have these false prophets not...
By Don Boys, Ph.D. Genuine Christians are known for their love for people, all people; however, love is not revealed by songs, statements, and slogans but by acts of kindness, help, sacrifice, etc. The Bible often refers to love, and that love was finally put on...
Do not be fooled, and do not let the scripture-twisting serpentine tongues of those who push the lie that Christianity and witchcraft can be syncretized together fool you. Witchcraft is a sin, as we will show, and along with all sin, will send you straight to hell, and true faith in Christ for your salvation is the only solution. It is not Biblical to add witchcraft to Christianity or to add Christ to witchcraft and call yourself a Christian. It doesn’t work that way.
Christmas is a time of celebration and contemplation on the birth of Jesus, who is revered in the Bible as the Son of God and the savior of the world. One popular pop culture Christmas song that claims to reflect on this miraculous historical event is "Mary Did You...
I've repeatedly argued here at this blog that the influx of contemporary Christian music in our churches is leading the church on a dangerous path to apostasy. Celebrity Christian pop artists frequently prioritize their own fame and success over bringing glory to God...

The doctrine of regeneration is the belief that, in order for a person to be saved and have eternal life in Heaven, they must be born again spiritually by the Holy Spirit. This belief is taught in the Bible, particularly in the New Testament, with unmistakable force...
The phenomenon of supposedly Christian churches choosing not to gather for worship on Sunday morning simply because a holiday happens to fall on that day reeks of idolatry. I mean, what better way to celebrate the birth of the living God than to cancel worship service...
While heretics like Andy Stanley abound preaching that the virgin birth is not an important doctrine to the Christian faith, as we celebrate Christmas, it's important to understand exactly why these people are wrong. “Christianity doesn’t hinge on the truth or even...
The American government has reached a new low by caving to the demands of a handful of sex-crazed deviants. These so-called "drag queens" have long been known for their depraved desires and depraved moral compass, yet the government has decided to cater to their...
As Christians, we believe that the Bible is the inspired inerrant Word of God. This means that the Bible is free from error and is completely true and trustworthy in all that it teaches. The doctrine of inerrancy is essential to the Christian faith because it affirms...
As Christians, we live in a world that is characterized by moral decay and the persecution of believers. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed and discouraged by the state of our world, but as believers, we have a hope that cannot be shaken. The Bible tells us that our...
