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...
In the years since the publication of the initial warning to fellow Christians regarding the cultural tide of sexual permissiveness and its clash with biblical truth, we've seen not just a continuation but an acceleration of these troubling trends. The sexual...
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...
You are probably well aware by now that the SBC has been embroiled in a scandal for the last three years involving alleged and systemic abuse cover-ups by the denomination and its leaders. In 2021, one of the leaders of the movement to push for an investigation into...
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...
"Pastor" Mike Todd of the Transformation Church has been growing in popularity at an alarming rate, despite his repulsive and controversial behavior. Earlier this year, Todd made headlines for turning tithing into a million-dollar lottery, using his congregants as...
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...
If you've been keeping up with the political landscape of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in recent years, you're likely aware of the narrative about a "sex abuse cover-up" that has been advanced by left-wing activists within the denomination. Russell Moore, who...
All throughout the History of the Church, the Bride of Christ, has stood a harlot who masquerades as the elect but lures people into the depths of darkness with seductive words and practices. But in modern times, Christianity has witnessed the emergence of a...
In a landmark decision that reverberates through the corridors of religious liberty and healthcare, the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota delivered a resounding affirmation of religious freedom and the right of Christians not to violate...
In his book, The Existence and Attributes of God, the Puritan Stephen Charnock tells us, "It is natural to men to abhor those things that are unsuitable and troublesome as it is to please themselves in things agreeable to their minds and humors. And since man is...
The appointment of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the United States Supreme Court has cast a long shadow over the principles of constitutional fidelity and judicial restraint. Her ascent to the bench, celebrated by progressives, is an unmitigated testament to the far-left's...
The fabric of society, historically interwoven with the integrity of the family unit, has faced increasing threats. This erosion, particularly pronounced in the United States, can be traced back to a series of ideological shifts that have sought to redefine the very...
Self-styled theologians, always cloaked in a facade of benevolence, are purveying a gospel that is a rude departure from the sound, uncompromising truths of Scripture. They twist the words of the Bible to advance a secular agenda, often under the guise of social...
In a recent podcast episode with Saints Unscripted, a Mormon podcast, creator of the TV series The Chosen, Dallas Jenkins joined the show to explain how Evangelicals and Mormons worship the same Jesus. "We have a lot of theological differences," Jenkins said, "but we...
A popular heresy among charismatic false teachers is little-god theology, or the belief that we as humans carry within us the potential to become God, or divine like God. This is not only a heresy found among charismatics, however, it is the underlying teaching of...
According to a report at Protestia, Logos Bible Software, a platform revered for its extensive theological resources, and its sister company, Faithlife Corporation, has been implicated in a controversy for selling books with explicit content. This revelation has...
Christians are now finding themselves at a cultural crossroads, grappling with questions of faith, obedience, and witness as the world spirals increasingly into moral chaos. What does the Bible say about substances that alter the mind, such as marijuana, now legal in...
In the verdant beauty of Eden, where humanity first walked with God, the serpent’s whisper, “Did God really say…?” marked the inception of humanity's tragic fall. This ancient deception mirrors a modern crisis, as the world, and the vast majority of the professing...
In a world increasingly adrift in moral ambiguity, the Evangelical Church as a whole has severely lacked a leadership that is willing to take a stand for biblical integrity even at the expense of their own reputations and even their personal safety. This is especially...
You may remember last year, there was an uproar on social media involving an article published at The Gospel Coalition that described Jesus’s relationship with the Church in a graphically detailed comparison to how a man embraces and has intercourse with his wife. Not...
As the old, biblical adage goes, there is nothing new under the sun. And since the beginning of Creation, religious leaders have disguised themselves as shepherds of God's people but have done so for nothing more than self-seeking reasons. In the modern Evangelical...

The phenomenon of inter-religious idolatry is nothing new and has been a mainstay of Paganism since the fall. Simply because some religious sects refer to themselves as "Christian" does not make it so. God, through the revelation of Himself and recorded in the...
With the cultural drive to subdue the entire population of the world into a collective state of sexual disorder comes the urgent and ever-growing need to shield our children from it. It seems like every day we're seeing another headline about boys who dress like girls...
In the first century AD, the apostle Paul, who quickly became known as the apostle to the Gentiles, embarked on a series of missionary journeys, preaching the gospel throughout the Roman Empire and planting churches. Among the places where he planted churches was the...

"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matthew 10:28)In these modern times, when the moral fabric of our nation is stretched thin and the cacophony of discord echoes from sea to...
In the ever-expanding world of religious art, countless images portraying Jesus Christ pervade the collective consciousness, attempting to shape the way believers perceive and connect with God. However, these depictions, along with supposed apparitions, are nothing...
As the eschatological clock continues to tick, and as we ever approach Christ's return, it seems like every self-promoting, virtue-signaling Evangelical has jumped on the bandwagon of ever-shifting cultural movements. These trends, ranging from the use of preferred...
In previous columns, I have dealt with the mistakes, uncertainties, ambiguities, contradictions, and general unreliability with radiometric dating of fossils. The dates produced by many modern methods are often dates that are called “scientifically correct” but...
In the biblical narrative of John 8:7, we find an account of a woman caught in the act of adultery. The religious leaders of the day, eager to test Jesus, brought the woman before Him and asked if she should be stoned according to the Law of Moses. Jesus, in His...
As the modern Church is now faced with its own internal debate of Christian Nationalism, we should examine how the multifaceted world of "cultural Christianity" has been a paradoxical force that can both benefit and challenge us. As we traverse the shifting sands of...
The state of Oregon has placed a heavy burden on conservative Christian families seeking to adopt by enacting Rule 413-200-0308. This new rule, which outlines the personal qualifications for potential adoptive parents and certified resource families, blatantly...
The very insinuation that modern, hip, "progressive" churches (those who pander to popular culture) are evolving into bastions of tolerance and love is enough to cause peals of laughter, snorts of derision, and plenty of eye-rolls throughout the hallowed halls of...
Numerous self-proclaimed pro-life Christians claim to oppose abortion, but their arguments are severely inadequate, un-Christian, and not based on the Bible. In reality, most of these Christians are unable to logically navigate or defend any theological position,...
The prosperity gospel is like a shimmering mirage in the desert of life, enticing the weary traveler with promises of a lush oasis just within reach. As they approach, hope fills their heart, only to find that the closer they get, the further the illusion recedes,...
In contemporary society, women value their autonomy and self-reliance. A majority of women in today's secular world view reliance on men as detrimental and feel it diminishes their worth. This collective mindset in modern women contributes to the rise of men...

You may recall the Asbury Revival at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky, back in February 2023, which generated quite a buzz. People eagerly shared news of the event through social media and Christian online publications, hoping that it signaled a genuine...
From the earliest days of Christianity, the deity of Christ has been under assault. Even as the apostles walked the earth, they encountered those who sought to undermine Jesus' divine nature. Time and again, they stood firm against such falsehoods, guided by the Holy...
Today, longtime pastor and founder of In Touch Ministries, Charles Stanley, passed away at 90. Charles, who served as senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Atlanta, was no theological gatekeeper and he certainly was not without his problems. We've written about...

The notion that God has a unique covenant with America, as Jesse Duplantis suggested in his Flashpoint conference speech, is a gross misinterpretation of biblical truth but a common theme among adherents to the hypercharismatic and adherents to the prosperity gospel....
In these continual acts of staggering betrayal that blaze across the moral landscape of so-called "conservatism," the compromise on pro-life laws which still permit abortions can only be branded as Hell's compromise. Those who posture themselves as conservatives, yet...
Once again, Brent Leatherwood, the head of the Southern Baptist Convention’s (SBC) Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), is positioning himself as the singular voice of Southern Baptists, promoting progressive policies that do not align with the majority...
It's truly a marvel of modern thought, or lack thereof, this tendency to draw parallels between the most incongruous of characters, such as a career criminal who met his end in the midst of criminal activity, and Stephen, the first Christian martyr. It's as if the...
The Bible asserts, with unyielding conviction, that when God passes judgment upon a nation, He subjects them to a whirlwind of unbridled sexual immorality. Delving into Romans 1, we discover that this phenomenon transcends mere sexual anarchy; it surpasses the bounds...
