As I was doing my morning reading, I was pointed to this article at Religion News Service (RNS) praising and celebrating the abomination of drag performances in churches, particularly, in the pulpit. This abomination is a clear indication of the modern professing...
As we've reported many times already, the popular television show, The Chosen, claims to be biblically based but is anything but Christian. Dallas Jenkins, the show's creator, has claimed that Christians and Mormons worship the same Jesus—an absurd claim that even the...
The Gospel Coalition (TGC) is notorious for its center-left-leaning views on everything from spiritual to cultural to political issues while masquerading its social agenda as "gospel issues" to maintain a veneer of spiritual authority. In its relentless quest for...
Cori Bush, a radical pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ, anti-police zealot, is a lunatic leading the "blind people who vote for her" straight into chaos. As a member of the infamous "Squad," her rise from the Ferguson riots to Congress showcases her commitment to tearing down...
Kamala Harris has once again demonstrated that she lacks any sense of rationality and decency. In a tweet that defies logic, she celebrates "LGBTQI+ children" with a photo of her embracing a man—cross-dressed like a sex worker—at a “pride” event. This isn't about...
Well, what do you know—another Christian institution seems poised to abandon Christ in favor of sexual anarchy. Fuller Theological Seminary—a school that when founded by Charles Fuller in 1947, actually believed in the inerrancy and authority of Scripture—is now...
Last night, the "He Gets Us" campaign—a marketing ploy headed up by Ed Stetzer that rebrands Jesus—displayed a sign at the Angels game proclaiming, "Jesus Included Everyone." This silly slogan, which is designed to subtly implant the idea that Jesus was "tolerant" of...
In 2018, a new movement was born out of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS) called Revoice, founded by Nate Collins, which sought to integrate queer theory into mainstream Evangelicalism. The movement began with a dissertation by Collins that is as absurd as...
In a move that should surprise no one who’s been paying attention, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) has once again proven that when faced with a choice between standing firm on biblical principles or caving to cultural pressure, they’ll take the path of least...
In the modern landscape of American Christianity, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) finds itself grappling with internal conflicts that reveal the troubling infiltration of leftist ideologies. A prime example is the dual alignment of some Southern Baptist churches...
Kirk Franklin, the so-called “gospel artist” associated with Maverick City Music, has consistently used the facade of Christianity to push his secular social ideology. Franklin's “Christian” career has been marked by a blatant disregard for biblical truth, using his...
In a disheartening turn of events at last week's Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) annual meeting, messengers voted overwhelmingly to affirm the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), defeating a motion that would have defunded the entity amid a clear...
We left off yesterday with my having gotten clean and sober in court mandated Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and my subsequent disillusionment with AA, which was functioning as a religion of sorts in my life. I continued going to AA (and NA) meetings because I didn’t...
Yesterday we left off with the first glimmer of light I had probably had in my whole life. I had no idea what I was going to do, but for the first time I realized in earnest that whatever it was, this life of being a homeless criminal had to end somehow. In spite of...
We’ll pick it up where we left off last time where I burned up my uncle’s kitchen, drunk in the morning, left an apology note and ran away. I was 17 years old at that time, BTW. I just couldn’t face him. I pretty much just found someplace to sleep outside every night...
Last time I gave a quick overview of my early life and the circumstances leading up to my move at 16 to Arizona to live with my uncle. To pick up there, I took off from Detroit Metro at about 11pm and landed at Phoenix Sky Harbor a few hours later. I was filled with...
Dr. Tony Evans has recently stepped down from his pastoral duties following an admission of personal failure. Evans, a towering figure in the evangelical world, has long been a polarizing character due to his controversial theological positions and alliances. Serving...
I’m not going to give my life story here, but a brief synopsis will lay the groundwork for what ultimately led to my receiving Christ in August of 1984. I enjoy other people’s salvation testimonies and thought somebody might be interested in mine. My mother was...
If you ever wondered how such professing Christians like David French get so messed up in their theology that they're willing to abandon the gospel in favor of some kind of social cause, and then defend it with every fiber of their being, more often than not, you need...
If you’ve been following the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), you’re probably aware of its latest debacle, a battle over women preachers. As a few remaining conservatives in the denomination fight to pass what is known as the Law Amendment, an amendment to the...
This foolish, silly woman. The chutzpah of this charlatan masquerading as a “pastor” (LOL) is nothing short of hilarity. Her contempt for apostolic authority and her mangled interpretation of Scripture are comedic gold. Suggesting that Paul "needs to sit down"—as if a...
In a spectacular display of pandering and virtue signaling, Johnson Bowie of Victory Church recently delivered a sermon that epitomizes the worst excesses of the woke DEI agenda infecting Evangelical churches today. His assertions, filled with cringe-inducing...
In 2021, the popular Evangelical lady-preacher, Beth Moore, left the SBC after it became apparent to her that she would not be able to impose her feminist ideology on the denomination. Moore’s departure from the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) has been portrayed by...

It's that time of the year again—November rolls in and with it comes "Transgender Awareness Month," a creation of the activist class who have marked it as a time to turn the national spotlight onto what they perceive as the plight of the transgender community. They're...
If you think TPUSA is the guardian of conservative values, think again. Led by Charlie Kirk, this organization is nothing short of a Trojan horse in the conservative movement. While it claims to champion conservatism, it's busy platforming and promoting ideologies...
Today is Reformation Day, a commemoration of that fateful epoch over 500 years ago when the very soul of Christendom was at stake. Europe, and the rest of the world, dominated by the Roman Catholic Church, was ensnared in a spiritual tempest, its people gripped by a...
Picture this: a coliseum filled with crazy people whipped into a frenzy, arms flailing like windmills in a gale, eyes rolled back as if caught in a trance. The preacher, slick and telegenic, lays a hand on someone’s forehead, mutters a few words, and then—bam! Down...

Arianism. The ancient heresy that keeps coming back like an insidious weed in the theological garden of the Church. Rooted in the 4th century teachings of the arch-heretic, Arius, this toxic belief system thrives today in many forms, including in the theology of...
The election of Representative Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House is a remarkably surprising turn of events considering the tumultuous political scenario. On October 25, 2023, the House elected Johnson in a 220 to 209 vote, a conservative Southern Baptist, filling a...
Oh yes, the Asbury Revival of 2023—remember that? Just a few months ago, it was the talk of the town—at least, it was the talk of "Christian Twitter." If you scrolled through social media, you'd think the next Great Awakening was happening at Asbury University in...
It's hard to think of an institution that has sold out its foundational principles more brazenly than the Dove Awards. What began as an earnest celebration of Christian and Gospel music has morphed into an extravagant pageant of secular values, donning a Christian...
In a world where every sacred text and tradition is up for grabs, it comes as no surprise that leftists, especially those of the "progressive Christianity" ilk, have found a new frontier for their artistic interpretations—the very sinlessness of Jesus Christ Himself....

For nearly six decades, the Dove Awards have claimed a central stage in the world of Christian music, lauding artists and performers for their accomplishments. Originating in 1969 as an initiative by the Gospel Music Association, the Dove Awards have closely mirrored...

In recent years, a wave of ideological thinking commonly referred to as "wokeism" has infiltrated various aspects of American society, including religious communities. This flawed, emotion-driven mindset transforms logical inconsistencies and dubious motives into a...
Matthew 7:7 has often been appropriated by prosperity gospel charlatans in a way that has led to some of the most egregious distortions of biblical teaching. "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you," says the...
In a world that is grappling with the disturbing reality of suicide rates among people who identify as "transgender," we must approach this topic without compromising the truth of God's Word. Although the world points fingers at the Church, particularly, conservative,...

The state of our nation, fraught with moral decay, political anarchy, and social unrest, is a painful reminder that ideas have consequences. Far from being an overnight phenomenon, this quagmire has been years in the making, fertilized by the seeds of godless...
Okay, so this one isn't actually in the Bible. But since a disturbing number of professing believers think it is, we'll cover it anyway. The well-worn mantra, "Let go and let God"—a phrase often parroted in church Sunday School classes, book clubs, and social media...
Today, as we observe Columbus Day, we find an excellent moment to ponder on God's divine providence. Often overlooked in the midst of barbecues and discounted sales, the monumental voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1492 was no accident. From a biblical perspective,...
The Biden administration's hypocrisy on immigration is nothing short of a calculated assault on conservativism and Christianity. While turning a blind eye to the mass influx of illegal migrants at the Southern Border, they have zeroed in on law-abiding, conservative...
Despite her array of worldly "credentials" and an illustrious résumé that spans from BET to Yale, "Pastor" Gabby Wilkes stands as little more than another woke Marxist pawn on the Evangelical social justice chessboard. Her claim to the title of "pastor" serves more as...
This past week, some Christians went to the G3 Conference in Atlanta. This conference featured many Reformed and Reformed-ish speakers, sound, biblical worship of the Creator, and fellowship with other believers, which is a rare occurrence on this level. And while I...
What a golden age we live in, where even those who lay claim to the name of Christ, pretending to uphold the pillars of the Christian faith toss those very pillars aside like yesterday's trash. Clearly, or queerly, I should say, the future of the world is, well,...
