As I sit at the G3 Conference this week, I think about the raging debate between the Christian Nationalists and the Non-Christian Nationalists. While I am neither Christian Nationalist, in an official sense, (the term still seems not to have no definition) nor am I...
Al Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and arguably one of the most influential theologians in the Southern Baptist Convention has been repeatedly criticized for his failure to lead in a timely manner by conservative Christians. As a matter...
What a golden age we live in, where even those who lay claim to the name of Christ, pretending to uphold the pillars of the Christian faith toss those very pillars aside like yesterday's trash. Clearly, or queerly, I should say, the future of the world is, well,...
Lecrae Moore, known professionally simply as Lecrae, has garnered a wide following as a Christian rapper and author. While his early career was largely built upon espousing biblically sound messages through his music, there's been a noticeable shift in his position on...

Joe Salant is a figure who has gained notoriety as the "Apologetics Rapper," a title he earned by fusing evangelical teachings with the art of rap. Salant has leveraged his platform to advocate for Christianity by integrating conservative religious views into...
"White guilt," you've heard of it. You've read it in the headlines. And you may know people who suffer from it. But what is it? Is it a mental disorder? Is it some other kind of ailment? Or is it sin? The term "white guilt" is far from innocuous—it is a calculated...
During Donald his first round as president, Donald Trump surprised many of us by taking stronger than expected conservative stances on many issues, including abortion. During his presidency, he selected Supreme Court justices that ultimately overturned Roe v. Wade,...
In Part XIV of our series on the Snares of the Modern Church, we're pulling the curtains back on perhaps the most dangerous trap of all: spiritual complacency. This deceptive entrapment is particularly sinister because it's not always glaringly obvious—it creeps in...
David Hughes, the president and CEO of C̶h̶u̶r̶c̶h̶ Goat Farm by the Glades in Coral Springs, Florida, has successfully turned the organization into a highly profitable carnival act. Rather than providing spiritual sustenance through the gospel, Hughes is preoccupied...

When we take a look at biblical history, we find a pattern of worship that couldn't be more distant from what we see in most modern churches today. Ancient Israel, a people set apart by God, given was meticulous laws and guidelines on how to worship the Creator of...
Greg Locke is a wild, wild dude. I've watched him over the years move from a relatively sane, conservative low-key pastor to something that is completely off the rails over a period of about ten years. Prior to his divorce, Locke was a fairly conservative, but a...
When I first saw the trailer to this upcoming series, I thought it was a parody. I thought it was going to be some kind of satirical sitcom making fun of “ex-vangelicals” who have deconstructed into complete apostasy. The fact of the matter, though, is that this is...
In 2023, during the annual meeting, several churches were disfellowshipped from the Southern Baptist Convention for openly defying the denomination’s statement of faith, the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 (BFM2K). Among these churches was the infamous Saddleback...

You can't say you are pro-life ideologically but be unwilling to do what it takes to curb the slaughter of millions of innocent children around the world. Abortion is a moral issue, an issue of real justice. The lives of innocent people are at stake. But it is also...
Beth Moore was recently interviewed for an article at Religion News Service (RNS) titled Jesus saved Beth Moore’s life. Twitter blew it up, where she moaned about being "one tweet away from disaster." Beth Moore's entire career has revolved around the circus she has...

Jesse and Frank James were from a long line of Christian leaders whose great, great grandfather arrived in James Colony in 1619. Their paternal grandfather was a highly respected Baptist pastor from Virginia who fought in the Revolutionary War alongside Light-Horse...
In a cosmic battle with both winners and losers, as Christians, we know who wins—and who has already won— the war. In fact, it was no contest at all. The winning of the war was ordained before the Creation of the world by God Himself and it took place two thousand...
In 2016, David Uth, pastor of First Baptist Church in Orlando, FL, invited all of the homosexuals in Orlando to take the stage in his church after a gay nightclub shooting in 2016. Uth, allowed another pastor to refer to the “LGBTQ community” as the “head...
Young evangelicals seem to view the practice of challenging orthodoxy through the lens of updating an outdated policy manual at work. The casual approach to such things is telling and reveals a very disturbing trend in many, if not most, evangelical churches. I believe this trend can be traced to the refusal of the Church to test those who claim to be believers and teachers and leaders who are not.
Carl Lentz, the former pastor of Hillsong NYC location, was removed from ministry by Hillsong's lead pastor, Brian Houston after he admitted to having an inappropriate relationship with another woman. The details of this relationship, which was sexual, were released...

At present, the world and the church are in negotiations concerning the scandalous nature of a number of Christian doctrines. At stake, according to some in the churches, is the voice of the church where certain social and political issues are concerned. The church...
Tim Keller has been heralded as one of the "great thinkers" of modern Evangelicalism. With his pseudo-intellectualism and his pithy comments, it's easy for him to garner thousands of "likes" on social media from the mindless, unable-to-think-for-themselves NPCs all...
Despite the rank heresy that false teachers like Andy Stanley continue to peddle, Christianity actually does hinge on the accuracy and authority of Scripture. The Scriptures, which are God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16-17), are the inspired words of God himself written...
The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a spiritual cult whose roots can be traced back to the New Order of the Latter Rain. The Latter Rain movement, a Pentecostal dominionist movement founded in the 1940s by George R. Hawtin, Herrick Holt, and Percy Hunt, has morphed...

We've been covering some of the controversy going on at Matt Chandler's Acts 29 church planting network over the last few weeks. This organization has been wrought with controversy since its inception. Notably, the well-publicized removal of co-founder Mark Driscoll...
It's beyond troubling to see the lengths to which some are willing to go to strip away parental rights under the guise of modern progressivism. In fact, it's horrifying. When I first read the headline, "It’s a privilege, not a right, to know your kid’s gender...
In a cultural landscape teeming with ideological disarray, even the dialogue surrounding Christian interaction with the LGBTQ movement has been pulled apart by polarizing narratives. A particularly concerning viewpoint comes to light through the Acts 29 Network, which...
