A group of progressive clergy and rainbow-splattered religious activists have hijacked the already unbiblical celebration of “Lent” to push a blatantly leftist political agenda, a thinly veiled leftist activist manifesto framed as a "return to Jesus." The document,...
I’ve been watching a story unfold that should be front-page news worldwide but has instead been met with a deafening silence. In Syria's coastal region, over 1,000 people, including hundreds of Christians, were brutally massacred in just 48 hours by Al Qaeda-linked...
The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), the Southern Baptist Convention’s long-decayed organ of political engagement, has spent the last decade or more morphing itself into a fetid hotbed of the woke mind virus defending progressive ideology. This...
Every year, like clockwork, Ash Wednesday rolls around and kicks off the Roman Catholic tradition of Lent—a six-week-long spectacle of public piety where everyone puts on their best "mourning over sin" performance. And, of course, it’s not just the Catholics anymore....
If there was ever a night that confirmed the Democrat Party and its allies have been handed over to a debased mind, last night’s State of the Union Address was it. The theater of malevolence was in full swing, an outright spectacle of loathing and rebellion against...
History has never suffered a shortage of theologians who chose comfort over confrontation, accommodation over courage. In the courts of corrupt kings and the halls of dead and decaying empires, there were always those willing to drape cowardice in the language of...
There’s an old saying about foxes guarding henhouses. It turns out the Presbytery of Western North Carolina has taken that metaphor and cranked it up to eleven, not just letting the foxes guard the chickens, but setting up a cozy little Airbnb for them right inside...
Once upon a time, Southern Baptists knew what a pastor was. Not that it was ever complicated. The Bible, clear as a bell, lays it out—a pastor is a man, called by God, qualified by Scripture, and entrusted with the shepherding of the flock. And for a while, the SBC...
You may remember Jamal Bryant, a master manipulator who cloaks his racial demagoguery in the theatrics of a charismatic preacher. I’ve written about him before. From comparing Kamala Harris to Esther to proposing marijuana farms on church property, Bryant has never...
JT Inglish, lead pastor of Storyline Church in Arvada, Colorado, has been appointed to serve on the SBC’s Committee on Committees for the 2025 annual meeting. This influential position helps shape the future leadership of the denomination, making it all the more...
The lights dim. A soft purple haze spreads across the stage, a carefully manufactured mist rising from hidden fog machines like some mystical veil between heaven and earth. The lead singer, a guy with the vocal timbre of a teenage boy penning poetry in his journal,...
Paula White is trash. There, I said it. She's a false teacher, a peddler of snake oil, a carnival barker draped in pseudo-Christian robes, hawking a gospel of greed with all the theological depth of a used car salesman promising that a lemon will last forever. She is...
If we’ve seen nothing in the last decade or so, we’ve seen a massive influx of cultural decline and gender confusion. In the midst of this, soon-to-be Vice President JD Vance strides onto the battlefield like a general rallying his troops. Speaking at CPAC, he didn’t...
Wheaton College, a school that was once known for its firm stance on biblical orthodoxy, now serves as an all-you-can-eat buffet for theological drift. The latest spectacle? David Bennett, a Revoice speaker, prancing onto the stage in an exaggerated, overtly feminine...
Jessica Bates was a mother of five, a woman who knew what it meant to love, to sacrifice, to open her home to those in need. She wasn’t asking for much—just the chance to take in a child from Oregon’s foster care system, a system that, incidentally, never seems to...
Mike Todd has been off the radar for a while, but every now and then, he rears his head, begging for a response to something so cringeworthy—and blasphemous—that it demands attention. You may remember Mike Todd from that time he turned tithing into a million-dollar...
There was a time when mocking God was a dangerous business. There was a time when scorning His people carried a cost. And there was a time when conservative Christians in America weren’t the preferred punching bags of Hollywood’s sneering elites. But that time is long...
Rick Warren stepped in it, and now he’s scrambling to clean up the mess. A few days ago, he tweeted out a mind-numbingly shallow take, twisting John 19:18 into a ham-fisted political metaphor, suggesting that the "real Jesus," because he was crucified between two...
Rick Warren has never been known for theological depth, but every once in a while, he manages to produce something so astoundingly ridiculous that it demands a response. His latest tweet is a shining example. In a bizarre attempt at political commentary, Warren claims...
The Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) is, at this point, nothing more than a self-righteous speed bump on the road to actual justice. And at the helm of this sputtering, compromised machine sits Brent Leatherwood, the kind...
In the ancient world, the sick and dying would embark on desperate pilgrimages to the sanctuaries of Asclepius, the Greek god of healing. These were not hospitals. These were temples—shrines of mysticism where hope and illusion walked hand in hand. Scattered across...
I previously wrote to you demonstrating how the Democrat-backed federal government has been laundering money through USAID and other taxpayer-funded slush funds, funneling it into the hands of anti-American, anti-conservative faux Christian ministries like The After...
I hesitate to continue writing about Donald Trump, as I want to be clear that I do not view him as any kind of messianic figure, savior of the nation, or a “Christian” hero. He is not—he is simply the result of a nation that is, if nothing but for a momentary reprieve...
There’s a cabal of evangelical leftists parading around as champions of compassion—valiant knights charging into battle against the cold-hearted, unfeeling forces that dare to suggest a sovereign nation not only has the right but the duty to control its own borders....

Kamala Harris, the unelected Democratic nominee for president—yes, unelected, because no one asked her to be the face of the party but here she is—has now dropped her latest gem of wisdom upon the American people.And what is it this time? At first, I thought this was...
Earlier today, I wrote about how Kamala Harris took the pulpit at a North Carolina Church to preach about “doing justice” and “mercy.” Unfortunately, instead of a faithful exegesis of Scripture, what the congregation received was a political sermon from the...
While many of us were in church this past Sunday, listening to our pastor open the Scriptures and rightly apply them to our lives, some unfortunate souls were sitting in Koinonia Christian Center in Greenville, North Carolina, being subjected to Kamala Harris...
Today is Columbus Day and once again, the leftist chorus is doing what they do best, rewriting history, twisting facts, and advancing their anti-American pet cause by calling this day "Indigenous People's Day." But before we let them get away with this brazen...
I honestly get tired of writing on this topic, but it’s such a pervasive evil in our world that it’s impossible to ignore. I read an article sent to me by one of my avid readers that sent chills down my spine. The article, published in the New York...
Kat Kerr, the self-proclaimed pink-haired prophetess, has made a career out of spouting outlandish claims that defy both logic and Scripture. Known for her wild tales, she insists that God commanded her to dye her hair pink to "stand out among the prophets."Kerr also...
As a father of four myself, I know firsthand how precious and vulnerable our children are—children truly are our future. God has entrusted us with the immense responsibility of raising, protecting, and preparing them for the real world. This isn’t just a suggestion or...
The roots of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) stretch deep into Marxist ideology. Born from the notion of class struggle, Marxism’s obsession with dividing society into oppressors and oppressed has evolved—now it's all about identity, diversity boxes, and...
Progressive “Christianity,” if you want to call it that, is nothing but a fraud—a shameless charade where self-appointed "pastors" like this Emily Bowen-Marler strut about in clerical garb, pretending to speak for a God they openly despise.In this sermon, she says...
As I watched the debate last night, a grim realization settled over me—this isn’t Kansas anymore. It’s more obvious now than ever before. Something feels off, something has changed. What we once knew, the life we cherished as kids, has slipped through our fingers....
I ran across an article today talking about Kenneth Copeland's massive wealth, and I started really thinking about it—the man's 86 years old. Kenneth Copeland's version of the “gospel” is a gross perversion of God grace. He has spent decades promoting a theology that...
The Lausanne Movement, founded in 1974, presents itself as a global evangelical network aimed at fulfilling the Great Commission. However, it has since evolved into a platform for globalist ideologies, aligning closely with organizations like the World Economic...
Ray Ortlund, the pastor of Immanuel Church in Nashville and a well-known contributor to The Gospel Coalition, has pulled off quite the act for years. He’s been quietly cultivating his “conservative” persona, preaching from a pulpit of orthodoxy while, in reality,...
The Revoice Conference is a coalition of “gay Christians” who collude annually to prop up their status as outspoken homosexuals and promote the gay agenda of full acceptance and inclusion in the ranks of churches in America. Led by gay activists such as Nate Collins...
by Jim FletcherThe death of a child has rightly been called soul-crushing. Whether a miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of an adult child, the parents are never quite the same. The tragedy usually lingers; it can also negatively impact a marriage. As has been said...
There’s a plague of false teachers infecting the church today, spreading like a virus through congregations, ministries, and movements around the world. They’re everywhere, and the damage they cause is immeasurable. And you’d be surprised at the amount of emails I...
The media in partnership with the pro-abortion lobby is at it again—twisting reality to paint 28-year-old Amber Thurman as yet another tragic victim of pro-life laws. If you’re unfamiliar with the story, Thurman chose to end the lives of her unborn twins after...
by Rob NelsenCarl Lentz, the former Hillsong pastor who fell from grace due to an affair, has reemerged with a podcast alongside his wife, Laura. Much like a phoenix rising—or perhaps more aptly, a Hydra that refuses to stay down, Lentz remains a fixture in the public...
Steve Gaines during an impassioned speech this morning from the pulpit of Bellevue Baptist Church said that God told him and his wife, Donna, 41 years ago that he would some day be an itinerant preacher, and that he and his wife now agree that this is the time. In...

Our favorite pink-haired prophetess, Kat Kerr, has recently graced us with her theological wisdom once again. This time, she wants us to believe that after the fall, God took away animals' ability to speak so they wouldn't sin.Apparently, God was so worried about...
Welcome to Part II of our ongoing series dissecting JD Greear's response to Megan Basham’s book, Shepherds for Sale. In Part I, we tackled Greear's contention regarding his infamous statement that the Bible "whispers" about sexual sin. We exposed how Greear, rather...
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...
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...
In the recent Christian social media sphere, a lot has been stirred up about climate change. Voices from all corners are demanding us to take action, citing “scientific” studies and dire predictions of an impending global catastrophe. But let's pause and think—does...
Comparing Kari Lake to Deborah is like comparing a fox to a shepherd—foolish and insulting. In his latest sermon, Pastor Luke Barnett of Dream City Church showered Lake, a pro-choice Republican politician, with praise, likening her to the biblical prophet Deborah. "We...
What if the greatest lie of our time wasn't just a lie, but a test—a trial balloon sent up to see how many would bow to the absurd and how many would resist? The transgender movement, despite its claims of promoting “equality” and “understanding,” is the de facto...
This week, the Paris Olympics opening ceremony featured a drag queen mockery rendition of the Lord's Supper. Has the world truly sunk so low? The depravity even surprises me, as one who’s been journaling the downgrade for years.This grotesque parody is a glaring...
Ben Carson, despite his celebrated career as a highly successful neurosurgeon and his conservative political endeavors, is deeply enmeshed in the Seventh-Day Adventist cult—a religious group whose doctrines are as far removed from biblical Christianity as east is from...
In the wake of President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, speculation has mounted about his potential successors. Among the most discussed candidates is North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, rumored to be a leading contender for Vice President on...
As Kamala Harris seems to be seriously considering Pete Buttigieg for her vice-presidential running mate, we are reminded of America's moral and spiritual decline. Such a move epitomizes our collective rebellion against our Creator and His order. Romans 1:18-32...
Good riddance! There, I said it. NewSpring Church has officially joined the ranks of spiritual circus tents that have packed up and left the Southern Baptist Convention, and frankly, the SBC should be sending them a thank-you note, not a love letter. Cue the anguished...

The latest findings from the Cultural Research Center’s American Worldview Inventory 2025 just dropped, and it’s a theological gut-punch to anyone who assumes that modern America still has even a passing acquaintance with biblical Christianity. Spoiler: it doesn’t....
It’s the darling phrase of modern Evangelicalism—trotted out with breathless solemnity every time someone dares to speak a hard truth too plainly: “We must speak the truth in love.” Four little words. A verse fragment. A harmless butterfly of a phrase that, somewhere...

Leftists love them some Jesus—so long as He can be twisted into a progressive mascot for their latest political crusade. But the moment He starts talking about sin, repentance, or judgment, they promptly shove Him back into the box labeled "outdated religious figure."...
For years, the federal government has indulged in a fantasy—one where reality is subjective, identity is fluid, and personal validation is the highest virtue. But not anymore. In a simple yet profound executive order, President Trump has done what should have been...
I ran across a tweet this morning, and the reality struck me—I couldn't argue against this fact. It read: The sheer weight of that number is staggering. Nine thousand innocent lives snuffed out in the span of a few days, while the so-called “pro-life” movement claps...
