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...
Dianne Feinstein, the oldest member of the U.S. Senate and a long-serving Democrat from California, has passed away at the age of 90, joining former U.S. Congressman, Elijah Cummings in an eternally rat-infested neighborhood. Her death marks the end of a political...
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...
Cory Asbury, a Bethel-affiliated "worship" artist, recently took to Instagram to make claims that leave one questioning not just his theology but his grip on reality. According to Asbury, hitting the milestone of 500 thousand followers on Instagram was not just a...
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...
A controversial new law passed in Northern Ireland threatens to restrict the religious freedom of Christians who pray or offer help to women outside abortion clinics. The Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act, which takes effect this Friday, creates "safe access...
Self-proclaimed "prophet" and "seer", Micah Turnbo—who is straight out of the heretical IHOPKC and the Kansas City Prophets movement—has amassed a huge following on social media, but his spectacle is more theatrical than theological. Brandishing titles like "Seer...
“…when the Son (Jesus) cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18.8)Jesus never accepted unbelief! He challenged His own to believe fully; indeed, He often rebuked His disciples for their unbelief: their fear in the storm on the Sea (1); Peter sinking as he...
West Midlands Police have issued an apology to the charity volunteer who was arrested twice over the past year for praying silently within the vicinity of an abortion clinic, and have confirmed that they will not be bringing charges against her. Isabel...
Men like David Platt—who spend the majority of their time in ivory towers barking commands at the rest of the Church to “stop being racist” while urging them to give up their own “positions of power” to people of color—have a really hard time wrapping their heads...
The Biden administration's hypocrisy on immigration is nothing short of a calculated assault on conservativism and Christianity. While turning a blind eye to the mass influx of illegal migrants at the Southern Border, they have zeroed in on law-abiding, conservative...
Frankly, Bethel Church in Redding California is no church at all. It is a blasphemous, idolatrous organization ran by gospel-distorting men and women who do nothing more than lead people right into the hands of the enemy. From its faux signs and wonders to its rank...
Despite her array of worldly "credentials" and an illustrious résumé that spans from BET to Yale, "Pastor" Gabby Wilkes stands as little more than another woke Marxist pawn on the Evangelical social justice chessboard. Her claim to the title of "pastor" serves more as...
This past week, some Christians went to the G3 Conference in Atlanta. This conference featured many Reformed and Reformed-ish speakers, sound, biblical worship of the Creator, and fellowship with other believers, which is a rare occurrence on this level. And while I...
We've reported in the past, numerous times, about cHurChEs being coopted by the LGBTQ mafia and turned into grinding hubs for drag queens. The phenomenon isn't unexpected as historically, these perverts have always been pervasive in society. But what is stunning about...
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,...

Yesterday, Politico published a leaked draft opinion of the upcoming Supreme Court decision that indicates that the nation's highest court is slated to strike down the long-standing Roe v. Wade decision that guaranteed the "right" for mothers to abort their children...
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...
There is no shortage of stupidity going on in places that people like to call churches—they are not churches, they are goat farms. Popularized by Hillsong, the Circus Church™ has become an icon in modern, progressive seeker-friendly churches. These churches have...
The Conservative Baptist Network (CBN) formed as a subnetwork within the Southern Baptist Convention as a means to unify against the onslaught of liberal drift in the denomination and to fight against social justice and the influx of Critical Race Theory as well as...
Jesse James was a member of a Baptist Church, but he was never a Christian, nor was he a gun-slinging Robin Hood who robbed rich northern banks and trains giving the money to poor southerners living along the Kansas-Missouri border. He and his elder brother Frank were...
Last June, arguably the most unqualified pastor in the modern history of the Southern Baptist Convention was elected to the presidency of the denomination and has held the highest office for nearly a year. Shortly after his narrow victory in a run-off election against...
Last year, Crossroads Church which is pastored by Brian Tome, held an event with a speaker named David Mahan. Mahan is the Director of Policy with the Center for Christian Virtue who preached a really good sermon on sexuality from a biblical perspective, but the event...
Yesterday, Religion News Service (RNS) ran a story promoting someone calling himself a "transqueer Latinx theologian" who goes by the genderless pronouns "they/them/their." To be clear, it is not surprising that there are people who do this; the world is filled with...
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...

Remember when the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus during His baptism by John the Baptist and God's voice could be heard from Heaven saying "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased"? Yep, that was God affirming that His Son, Jesus, was the Christ who came...
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...

Raphael Warnock, the pro-LGBTQ pro-abortion senator and "pastor" from Georgia never ceases to amaze me with the amount of Scripture twisting he can concoct in order to advance his ungodly cause. Warnock recently preached a sermon claiming that Isaiah 40:5 was about...
You're probably familiar by now with the new woke religion that leftists have created around their Messiah figures like Stacey Abrams and Raphael Warnock. We've brought you many stories about how left-wing churches have replaced Jesus on the cross with Stacey Abrams...
There is an all-out war against biblical Christianity and anyone who actually believes and follows Jesus Christ. The Pagan society has made it clear—there is no room for all of us on this planet and those of us who take God at His word are not welcome to participate...
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,...

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...
If you've been paying attention, you're probably aware that the Senate, with the help of enough Republicans to bypass a filibuster, passed the Respect for Marriage Act which codifies same-sex marriage into national policy. The legislation already passed the House in...
The Overton Window is quickly being moved as Southern Baptists increasingly shift closer to the progressive position of the last decade on abortion. The Democrat mantra on abortion used to be “safe, legal, and rare.” It was their way of disguising their pro-abortion...
We’ll pick it up where we left off last time where I burned up my uncle’s kitchen, drunk in the morning, left an apology note and ran away. I was 17 years old at that time, BTW. I just couldn’t face him. I pretty much just found someplace to sleep outside every night...

This foolish, silly woman. The chutzpah of this charlatan masquerading as a “pastor” (LOL) is nothing short of hilarity. Her contempt for apostolic authority and her mangled interpretation of Scripture are comedic gold. Suggesting that Paul "needs to sit down"—as if a...

"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...
