While caught up in the negativity of the Ohio pro-abortion constitutional amendment that was passed yesterday, some good news went amiss. While some groups of people are working to enshrine abortion as a God-given right into our society, others, thankfully, are...
Earlier today, we reported on the sad reality that Ohio had voted to enshrine the right to murder babies into its Constitution, a seismic shift that was partially carried forward by an unlikely contingent—25 percent of white evangelicals according to exit polls...
Yesterday, this nation witnessed in the state of Ohio arguably the most blatant rejection of God that has manifested in our time through the approval of Issue 1, a state constitutional amendment that cements the right of women to murder their children. In a move that...
In the Golden State's latest legislative escapade, California's Senate Bill 729 is on the cusp of creating a marketplace that commodifies the very cradle of life—women's bodies—effectively creating a legalized sex slave trade in the state. This proposed piece of...
Steven Flockhart, once a household voice chasing fame on "American Idol" and "The Voice," now embodies the dark side of the megachurch. His leap from TV personality to scandalous pastor wasn't just a fall from grace—it was a dive into vanity's deep end, shackling his...
Yesterday, we reported that someone had released the manifesto of the transgender Nashville school shooter who killed six innocent people earlier this year. Audrey Hale, a woman who identified as a transgender man, who previously attended The Covenant School in...

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...

Lest you think I'm picking on hip-hop, I've written plenty on the Contemporary Christian Rock movement and the charismatic movement as well. But there is a particular grievance with hip-hop culture that appears to have carried over and is inexcusable. It's the fact...
The hatred expressed for Trump and all America Firsters by the self-righteous and falsely tolerant people in the world is reminiscent of the worst brutality, barbarism, and bloodshed of history. The acceleration of Democrat-sponsored baby-killing, high taxes,...
Many people attempt to reconcile homosexuality with the Bible. However, such efforts fail. You cannot reconcile truth with error. The battle to legitimize homosexuality begins with an all out attack upon the Biblical record of Sodom. This assault changes the story of...
If we keep moving in the direction this country has been headed over the last few decades, the only things that will be illegal ten years from now are worshiping God, using gasoline, and owning guns. Every form of sexual rebellion will not only be legalized but...
By Don Boys, Ph.D. Truth, any truth, must never be sacrificed for any reason, especially when millions of lives are at risk. All sincere, honest, concerned Americans should be aware of the massive corruption in the health industry before making judgments about medical...

The public school system has long been a means by which the left indoctrinates children and is the catalyst behind the liberal shift in our society. If you wonder why the world is descending into mass chaos, understand that Satan himself has commandeered the public...
Prior to the mid-term elections, so much of the right-wing media and landscape predicted that there would be a "red wave" that took control of Congress. Some predicted it would be a sweep in the House giving the Republicans a majority of over 20. and gaining a few...
Wokeism is the new Nazism. Comparing Nazis’ treatment of people in an effort to reach their desired results with modern woke zealots’ behavior will be resented—by modern Nazis. However, my analysis will be accepted by informed people. The...
The wrath of God is upon us like never before. What seemed like many to be a sure landslide for Republicans turned out to be at best a dried-up lagoon of just a handful of conservatives who barely squeezed by. On the other hand, the vast majority of the nation...
With the future of this nation hanging on today's election, it's important to realize that the nuance-bros in Christian-land are out in full force attempting to persuade Christians that both the Democrat and Republican parties are equally right and wrong on certain...
I have been dealing with people online who criticize me for "lack of love" when I insist that one's relationship with Christ determines one's relationship with God the Father. That is, does the unbeliever, whether of another religion or none, have access to God, such...

I often hear church people say that we need to have more "unity in the church." Unity, what does that even mean? Well, it depends on who you ask. There is no question that the Bible teaches us that Christians are to be united, without divisions among us (1 Cor. 1:10),...
There is a growing movement within Evangelical churches to reject the doctrine of original sin. The doctrine of original sin teaches that through Adam, all people are born with an inherent nature inclined toward sin and are in need of the regenerating work of the Holy...

Either the entire leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention is brutally dishonest or an epidemic of cognitive dissonance has been unleashed among these people. Perhaps they are suffering from mass psychosis of some sort. But the prevailing theme coming from the...
