The Southern Baptist Convention appears to be on the verge of collapse, highly influenced by liberalism and secular leftist ideologies. Internal murmurs indicate a denomination increasingly infected by the toxic ideology of wokeness. Southern Baptist pastors—like...

At the crossroads of Urbandale, Iowa, the spire of Walnut Hills United Methodist Church casts a long shadow. One might expect the usual serene ambiance of a church setting. But enter its premises, and you're greeted not by cherubs or biblical figures, and certainly...
Kathryn Krick—self-proclaimed apostle, erstwhile actress, and purveyor of modern-day miracles—proffers an eye-catching ministry replete with deliverances, prophetic utterances, and, of course, the ever-convenient "sow a seed" donation prompt. But don't be fooled by...
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 the supposed sanctuary of a Church of England school, a Christian teacher faces not just the end of her career, but also an ideological battle against biblical truth. Glawdys Leger, a seasoned Modern Foreign Languages teacher, is being persecuted for her refusal to...

There's a bewildering trend overtaking certain corners of Evangelicalism, and it's impossible to ignore the glaring departure from orthodoxy when publications like The Gospel Coalition keep putting secular pop culture on a pedestal. After an inconceivable attempt to...
Just when I thought I'd seen it all, the weird charismatics never fail to surprise me. From Bethel's overtly strange healing rooms and spontaneous baptisms to Steven Furtick's waterslide baptismal pool—okay, the waterslide baptismal was a Babylon Bee article. But it...
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,...
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — In a move that has raised more than a few eyebrows in conservative, biblically-minded circles, Dr. Rex Horne has been appointed the new executive director of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention (ABSC). Dr. Horne has had a long-standing...
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...

It’s bad enough that Judaism is a false religion, a religion that denies Christ. John says in 1 John 2:22 that this is the antichrist. But what about an orthodox Jewish Rabbi who tells Christians that they shouldn’t just be worshiping one Jew—Jesus. But that they...
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,...
In Mark 9:42, Jesus Christ Himself delivers a sobering and forceful warning that should echo in the ears of anyone daring to distort the truths of Scripture: "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great...

Pastor David Hughes of Church by the Glades in Coral Springs, FL is little more than a stand-up comedian, running a so-called "church" that does nothing more than tickle the ears of lost people. In one Instagram post, Hughes stated "If there’s one thing we can...
The Protestant Reformation split the Western Christian Church into Protestant and Roman Catholic branches in the 16th century. It was driven by a desire for religious reform, objections to the pope's power and role, and the sale of indulgences, which allowed people to...
It is a travesty that many so-called "professors of Christ" have turned Jesus into an idol, using Him as a tool to fulfill their own selfish desires. This type of false teaching is especially prevalent in charismatic circles, where God is treated as a genie in a...
The controversy surrounding a statue on the campus of Princeton University has sparked a debate between conservative and liberal evangelicals about how to remember significant figures in the movement's history, their theology, and their complicity in the institution...

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...

Welcome to Part II of our series, "Untwisting the Bible," where we yank twisted Scriptures back into their rightful context. In today's spiritual battlefield of "gotcha" theology, few verses are weaponized as much as Matthew 7:1 and 7:5: "Judge not, that you be not...
