"We live in a post-modern world, and postmodernism is about relativism. My truth is your falsehood, and your falsehood is my truth. But there is such a thing as the plain truth." (Barukh Binah) Barukh Binah captured succinctly one of the pillars of postmodernism, the...
The professing Church in America has turned into nothing more than a Sunday morning freak show. We have covered a number of wild sermon illustrations over the years. For example, in one illustration, a pastor has someone come up and hold a gun to his head to...
Bobbie Storm, a contemporary Christian singer associated with the Maverick City Music label—a label also known for its popular artists like the pro-abortion rapper, Kirk Franklin, and a man who posts lewd images of himself on social media, Dante Bowe—was nearly kicked...
"Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me." Malachi 3:8—a verse so frequently plucked from its Old Testament habitat and transplanted into the fertile soil of modern-day sermons, especially when the collection plate seems a little light. It's become the go-to verse...
In the latest episode of what can only be described as a political theatre of the absurd, New York Governor Kathy Hochul has unveiled her latest, and perhaps most arrogant, foray into Orwellian oversight—a "Social Media Analysis Unit." Wrapped in the velvety guise of...
Last Friday, author and speaker Rosaria Butterfield spoke at the convocation for Liberty University. Rosaria Butterfield is a former tenured professor of English and women's studies at Syracuse University who became a Christian in 1999. Her conversion story, which...
In the wake of a heart-wrenching legal battle, the world bids farewell to Indi Gregory, an eight-month-old girl whose struggle has ended not by irremediable natural causes, but by a system that claims to protect the very essence of life. Indi, born into a world of...
The Lausanne Movement, established in 1974 following the Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization, initiated by Billy Graham and other Christian leaders, is an international network of globalist evangelical leaders who purport to be focused on fulfilling the Great Commission—the Christian mandate to evangelize and make disciples of all nations. The
The Church of England (CofE), also known as the Anglican Church, is a historic institution that has its roots in the 16th century when King Henry VIII sought to divorce his wife Catherine of Aragon but was denied annulment by the Pope. As a result, Henry broke away...
Brent Leatherwood, the current president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), epitomizes the progressive agenda that seeps through some corners of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). His ascension to this role followed the tenure of Russell Moore,...
In a surprising turn of events, it appears as though the newly-elected Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, has aligned himself with the nefarious unbiblical movement, the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). According to a report in Rolling Stone, Johnson is flying a flag...
In the recent election cycle, we witnessed a disturbing series of victories for the party of death, the Democrat party—a party that, from any honest Christian perspective, flagrantly tramples on the sacredness of human life. The heinousness of abortion and the...
We, as Christians, know that killing children in the womb is a form of murder and we know that God hates it. But sadly, many Christians have a flawed understanding of the depraved minds that it takes to commit such heinous acts of hatred toward fellow human beings....
In an unsurprising move of apostasy, the Roman Catholic Church, which has completely abandoned the Scriptures in favor of Papal authority, is now allowing “transgender” people to find refuge within its walls. This startling development echoes the fall of mainstream...
In the heart of Nottingham, a family's private agony has become a public crucible of ethical debate. Indi Gregory, a baby of merely eight months, lies at the confluence of medical limitation and governmental authority. Indi battles mitochondrial disease—a relentless...
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...

The Gospel Coalition has long been an outlet for progressivism whether it be theological liberalism or political activism. And The Gospel Coalition has long been criticized by conservative Christians who reject the notion that only leftists are allowed to be vocal...
What was unthinkable just 10 years ago has become a celebrated phenomenon in our society today. The fact that parents are so eager and willing to hand their children over to perverted men dressed like insulting caricatures of women is really strange. Watch: Since the...

Ben Franklin in the 1750s voiced concern over too many Germans arriving in Pennsylvania and even commented on their “swarthy complexion.” Germans call it Uberfremdung or “over-foreignization.” It’s a fear that their homeland will be changed to where it is no...
There is a great evil that is now pervasive in our society and it's greater than any evil we've ever experienced in the history of the Church. To be clear, homosexuality and almost every form of sexual perversion have always existed. In fact, it's been in existence...
In Matthew 22:23-33, the scriptures report a confrontation between Jesus and the Sadducees, the theological liberals of that day. They were trying to trick Him, so they described a woman who had married a succession of brothers, each of whom died without issue. In the...
An important theme in the New Testament is the role that conscience plays in human lives. We immediately think of its role in the life of the believer, but we should never forget that the unbeliever has a conscience, too, though he deals with it in a very different...
I hear a lot of tripe today from leftists who complain that conservatives believe in a "Republican Jesus" or something absurdly insane like that. The argument is that the "Republican Jesus" is xenophobic, sexist, racist, and homophobic—or some combination of these...

What passes as a "pastor" in today's modern American professing Church is actually quite shocking. The biggest arguments of the historic professing church throughout the centuries used to be about things like the denial of the deity of Christ or a heretical view of...

In Christian apologetics, we have a term that we use to describe how we ground our knowledge and reasoning in objective truth. That term is epistemology. Simply stated, epistemology is the study of how beliefs are justified. I don't intend to take a deep nosedive into...
Jemar Tisby is one of the leading agitators of the modern racial division in Evangelical churches in America. He regularly incites hatred and division between blacks and whites by indicting all white people with the inherent guilt of former white American slave owners...
A few years ago, I thought a racist was a person—black, white, or polka dot—who disliked someone of another race because they were of another race. Of course, that’s hardly their fault. However, from the major media, it seems I have been wrong all along. It seems...
I have written before about abortion as a modern revival of Molech worship, and of its promotion by apostate clergy, but now I want to speak of its eternal consequences, both by the women who have an abortion and for those, clergy or...
A new film has been released dealing with Hunter Biden’s misadventures in parts of the world where he and his father-president almost broke their backs carrying away baskets-full of cash. Newsweek reported that the film made “accusations of criminal activity against...
Probably the only thing George W. Bush ever said that I could agree with is that "we don't negotiate with terrorists." The statement, in and of itself, is a blanketly true statement that at the time was directed toward Islamic extremists causing terror around the...
In this episode, I rant about the Christian Franchise. Modern Christianity has adopted the franchise model in the 20th and 21st centuries. The Christian Franchise’s top service is affirmation. Everything she says and does is geared toward affirming people in the...

It is an absolute disgrace that the true Church refuses to denounce, with a bold and unified voice, these charlatans that continue to defile the name of Christ by pushing sexual perversions, Communism, and abortion in the name of Christ. I can't help but believe that...
"What do you call a person who's in a fight and doesn't know it? The Loser." That was what Voddie Baucham said during a recent interview with Tom Ascol on the Founders podcast referring to the fight that the Church is in against the cultural invasion of sexual...
Leftists are at it again and they won't stop until they have the complete and total submission of conservatives groveling at their feet. There is new legislation in Congress that aims to do just that. The Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023, introduced by the...
The transgender movement is an affront to the very foundations of logic, reason, and nature. It is a brazen rejection of one of the most fundamental truths of Creation: that God, in His infinite wisdom and power, made us male and female. In this age of political...
