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...
In the land of make-believe—otherwise known as Columbus, Ohio—a man by the name of Tim Ahrens plays dress-up as a pastor. The setting? The First Congregational Church, a stage in the theatrical United Church of Christ, a denomination better known for its creative...
Welcome to a discussion that dives deep behind the fog machines, laser light spectacles, and thunderous sound systems, addressing not just one, but multiple elephants in the room. First, the theological disarray among a plethora of megachurch worship pastors—those...
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...

Have you ever slummed through a sermon by a preacher like Steven Furtick or Andy Stanley? Have you ever really just sat and listened to them preach. It's easy to be drawn in to the charismatic mood changing, emotionally-driven style of speech or worship. They quote...
Former Southern Baptist Convention president, JD Greear, once said that churches should be the safest places for homosexuals to come out of the closet. In that same sermon, he said that Christians should stand up against discrimination in the "LGBTQ community," and...

Welcome to Part I of our brand-new series, "Untwisting the Bible." Today, we're examining a text so frequently misused that it's virtually become a spiritual cliché: Jeremiah 29:11. It's recited by valedictorians at graduation ceremonies, inscribed in ornate fonts on...
The recent revelations about Andy Stanley's gay-affirming theology come as no surprise to those who have watched the North Point pastor's descent into heresy over the past decade. While not surprising, they do confirm unequivocally Stanley's position and intent to...
Andy Stanley and his associated churches have all been under fire in recent months after a series of exposes outing North Point as not simply tolerant, but completely embracing of homosexuality. The Dissenter has published numerous articles demonstrating Stanley's...

It's increasingly evident that we are living in times where apostasy is not just knocking at the door of the Church but has made its way to the pulpit. Patrick Cheng, a visiting Anglican Studies professor at Union Theological Seminary, is offering a course on Queer...
"The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire."...
For years, I've vociferously criticized the megachurch movement for its lack of concern for the gospel while morphing into venues more akin to circuses and entertainment hubs than houses of God. In fact, most of these megachurches are an appalling departure from the...
A disturbing video has emerged showing a biological male student, dressed as a female, viciously attacking an actual girl. This alarming incident demands an urgent response from Christian parents: what would you do if this was your daughter? This is not an isolated...

In today's hyper-polarized climate, there's a label that gets thrown around like confetti at a parade whenever someone holds a countercultural worldview grounded in the Word of God—"bigot." It seems the moment you dare to commit the public sin of proclaiming biblical...
Criticism of the doctrine of cessationism is hardly a novel phenomenon coming from the charismatic wing of professing Christendom. Yet in recent years, a concerning shift has become increasingly evident. Hostility towards this doctrine has intensified, crossing the...

One of the most misused verses in Scripture is Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." The verse is rampant in the sports industry and misquoted by athletes who want to apply the verse to their phenomenal ability to play sports. But...
Charles Spurgeon famously said that there would come a time when churches would have clowns entertaining goats rather than pastors feeding sheep. That time has come and gone and now, the vast majority of those calling themselves pastors are just feeding everyone...
I realize this issue is debatable, delicate, and as dangerous as an attempt to shave a bobcat in a phone booth. Millennials should do their research about phone booths. Same-sex “marriage” was wrong yesterday, today, and tomorrow regardless of what any court,...

Too often, many have attempted to trivialize the gospel into something less than what it is. For some, the gospel is universal—Christ died to save all and there is nothing more to it. For others, the gospel is that Jesus came to exemplify a "good life" we must live to...

Yesterday, I ran across a post by a Twitter user who alleged that The Gospel Coalition (TGC) is now endorsing same-sex marriage. My first reaction was "there's no way." I mean, I've been following TGC for years, I've seen all of the unbiblical worldly stuff they...
Mostly prominent in charismatic circles, people will often claim that prayer moves God, and the more we pray—the more "prayer warriors" we invoke—the more we can move Him. But does prayer actually move God? In one sense, it does. First off, we have to understand that...

Of course, we're all hopelessly lost apart from a miraculous work of the Holy Spirit, but there are some who claim to know Christ who has demonstrated beyond all doubt that they have not been changed by the blood of Jesus. I ran across a thread by Dwight McKissic, a...
Because this nation has turned its back on Christ, God has clearly removed his hand of restraint and this nation continues to devolve into moral decay. Of course, God is not in covenant with America, He is in covenant with His people, the Church. But the general...

According to the post-modern American church world, the only damnable sin is being too certain of anything and nowhere is this cry louder than when a faithful disciple of Christ calls into question whether somebody is actually a Christian. Of course, this is not as...
The visible church today is undoubtedly full of false gospels. There are, of course, the cults like Mormonism and the Watchtower Society. There is the Roman Catholic Church, which distorts the gospel into a form of works righteousness coupled with idolatry. We have...
I'll have to admit that Robert Henderson is a false teacher that I'd never heard of until recently, which is unusual. Henderson is the pastor of Radiant Church in Waco, TX, and the author of several books that revolve around his self-described prophetic dream....

It's no longer a matter of 'normal people versus the rest', instead, it seems more like an uphill battle between logic and madness. The world has well and truly lost its sense when we are considering "transgenderism" as something even remotely normal - with some...

Phil Vischer compared Christians who oppose same-sex marriage to Confederates who wanted to “conserve” slavery. This comparison is biblically and historically inaccurate. Christians support the biblical definition of marriage and do not seek to “conserve” slavery.
