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...
Preston Sprinkle, one of the original advisory board members of Revoice, the “gay Christian” movement within Evangelical churches, has been instrumental in shifting the church’s doctrinal stance on homosexuality and other aberrant sexualities. It is through...
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...

Leading up to the mid-term elections, the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) is once again attempting to rationalize the notion that Christians can vote for Democrats and have "valid" and "biblical" reasons for doing so. We at...

In the midst of the Southern Baptist Convention's (SBC) complete and total meltdown of reality, the divide between the progressives and the conservatives is growing rapidly. And unsurprisingly so. No matter who ultimately wins control of the Southern Baptist...
From the very beginning, the church has had to preserve its integrity and purity by protecting and fencing its membership. Jesus said that many would come in his name and make claims to faith falsely. Paul told the Ephesian elders that ravenous wolves would arise even...
I ran across an article today which was actually from March 15th that caught my attention. The article itself is about the Contemporary Christian musician, Steven Curtis Chapman, and an upcoming performance he will be holding at Crossroads Church. In that article, I...

Since 1978, the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy has stood as the de facto standard confession of the Church in its belief in the authority and inerrancy of Scripture. The statement has grounded the Church's position in biblical truth and has served as a...
Disney has released a new movie that targets young children, but the content of the movie is definitely not for Christians. The movie, Turning Red, is about "a 13-year-old girl who is torn between being her mother's obedient daughter and the chaos of her youth. As if...

There is no denying that the 1950s and 1960s were a trying time for Blacks in America. 1965, America was embroiled in the civil rights movement that ultimately led to the shooting death of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968. But it wasn't just America that was caught up...

Despite this, former Southern Baptist president, Steve Gaines, praises Oneness Pentecostal Charity Gayle and her extreme charismatic emotionally-manipulative music as “Holy Spirit anointed” and “biblical.”
In this episode, I rant about the popular practice of manipulation among pastors and elders. Pagan society engages in open and shameless manipulation in order to advance its agenda. While it may seem unthinkable that pastors and elders would mirror this same behavior,...
I've written recently on some of Charity Gayle's music and the self-idolatry of her music and the lyrics that it contains including the extremely man-centered repeated mantra in one of her songs that states over and over in a celebratory manner "I am who I am because...
Critical Race Theory and the "woke church" movement have exposed exactly how depraved the minds are of some people, including those who call themselves Christians. What's worse, those who should be shepherds of God's elect instead are wolves masquerading as sheep and...
Today's worship landscape has been overtaken by modern, contemporary music as the hymns of the old days that contained good theology have been largely abandoned. In this article, I want to compare the psychology of the lyrics of two popular worship songs; one hymn...

Anglican priest in training, Adam Spiders, took to social media to explain how Jesus was a Communist who called for a cashless, stateless, classless society. Of course, Jesus couldn’t say it outright, so he had to find a sneaky and clever way of saying, according to Spiders.
The sexual revolution is squarely in the hands of the LGBTQ movement and those that support it. And the fact that a large media company like Netflix can produce and broadcast a show that glorifies the sexualization of children and get away with it speaks volumes about...
What's the quickest way to turn an entire city into a bunch of queers? Pay them to be queers. Not that San Francisco isn't already the most queered-out city in the nation, but a new program promises to make it even queerer and attract more queers from all around the...
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...

"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...
