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...
It appears that the LGBTQ mafia is overtaking every area of society in America and the world. We’re going to have to get used to it. Sane people with good morals are now in the minority—at least it seems that way. Two years ago, The Dissenter reported on several...
Apparently, it was a proud moment for Queer Kid Stuff writer Lindz Amer when Nickelodeon's "Rubble & Crew" episode featuring its first "nonbinary" character aired. On Instagram, Amer enthusiastically declared: "I got to write an episode of Rubble & Crew......
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...

Pastor Rick Morrow of Beulah Church in Richland, MO, in a recently uncovered video clip, says that physical infirmities like autism are caused by demonic influences and can be remedied by casting the demon out. "Well, my God doesn't make junk," he claims, presenting a...
In the contemporary American pro-life movement, there's an elephant in the room that's too significant to ignore yet astonishingly remains largely unaddressed. The urgent question beckoning from the shadows is this: Does the pro-life movement genuinely resonate with...
A coalition of regional Baptist Executive Directors across several states has sent a strongly-worded petition to the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The letter raises serious concerns about the North American Mission Board (NAMB) and its...

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...
From the time of the early apostles until now, the church of Jesus Christ has always faced the powerful threat of worldliness, of assimilating into the culture around it and compromising on the pristine and inviolable truths it has been entrusted with. One of the most...
In the ever-expanding realm of self-proclaimed Christian leaders, few figures are as bewildering as Katie Souza. Armed with dubious teachings that dance on the fringes of Christian orthodoxy, she recently added to her repertoire of controversy by prophesying about...

It pains me to have to even write this as David Platt was one of the first Bible teachers that helped me understand good, biblical doctrine. I was a fan of the early Secret Church services before Platt left Brook Hills Church in Alabama to become the leader of the...
Normal and sane people--as in, those people who were not taken away by media psychosis--have, since the beginning, known that the COVID-19 virus leaked from the lab in Wuhan, either unintentionally or intentionally. Further, many who understood the wickedness of those...
If you think that title was click bait, I can assure you, it is not. Anyone who's actually been paying attention knows by now that the leftist narrative of the January 6 "insurrection" is nothing more than Democrat propaganda used to serve no other purpose except to...
As Southern Baptist leaders continue to deny that the denomination is facing an increasing drift to the left, concerned Southern Baptists and Evangelicals continue to expose the undeniable leftward drift. As this article is published, Reformation Charlotte and those...

"You can never believe greater or better things than God can do for you. Even sin itself, which is the great (and really the only) evil; it is His enemy as much as yours: and you may be sure He would not have suffered its being in the world if He had not a power to...
We've watched over the last several years as the Southern Baptist Convention has devolved from a conservative denomination built on the foundation of a solid confession rooted in Scripture to what it is now: largely a denomination defined by its social justice...
David Platt, who has been aligning himself and his church closer and closer to the Revoice "gay Christianity" movement over the last year or so, has been making headlines as he continues to partner himself and his church with heretics and false teachers from two "gay...
The ERLC sank to many new lows under former activist president Russell Moore including its close associations and endorsement of the pro-LGBTQ movement revoice and participation in the Soros funded national immigration forum. Now, ERLC endorses the Islamic Obama era...
Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS), which is presided over by the ever-woke, Danny Akin, has now implemented a policy making it mandatory for all faculty to either be fully vaccinated or submit to regular testing and masking to remain employed. Citing...
Lecrae, who described himself not as a Christian rapper, but a "rapper who happens to be Christian," has devolved into a spiteful, church-hating fraud from one who at one time, at least, seemed to be a solid, Reformed proclaimer of the faith. Over the last few years,...
In a recent interview with Dr. Gina on Real America's Voice, notorious right-wing politicized pastor, Greg Locke, attempted to explain what's causing the decline in faith in America and blamed it on "rules and regulations" in the Church. Disclaimer: I’ve appreciated...
Al Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS), was elected to The Gospel Coalition's leadership council in April 2009 where he has served for over 12 years. Shortly after ditching T4G, in the last few days, it has come to light that his name...
It should go without saying that The Gospel Coalition (TGC) has absolutely nothing to do with the gospel or any other biblical teaching or exhortation. The Gospel Coalition is nothing more than an outlet for the carnal consumption of worldly influence into the Church...
Kat Kerr–the crazy pink-haired “prophetess” who says that she saw visions of Christians being sent to a “mock hell” to be tormented by Satan for wearing jeans and make-up–is back at it again with the crazy, made-up nonsense. This time, she says that God told...
One of the worst condemnations of Israel found in the Old Testament prophets is found in Zephaniah 1:12: "I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are complacent, those who say in their hearts, 'The Lord will not do good, nor will He do...
Woke Evangelicals around the nation are up-in-arms over Donald Trump's preaching at Robert Jeffress' Southern Baptist church in Dallas this past weekend. While the woke leftists are complaining that "politics don't belong in the pulpit" -- which they actually do, in...
Largely referred to as "conversion therapy," the secular world has long been railing against any effort to persuade homosexuals to turn from their unnatural desires and turn to Christ for forgiveness and repentance. Canada has now become the sixth country to ban...
Beth Moore, when she apostatized a few months ago and left a somewhat biblical denomination for a completely apostate denomination, made it clear that her intentions were to continue to rebel against God by performing the function and role of a pastor, which the...
By now, you're probably aware that Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, TX, invited Donald Trump to address his congregation this past Sunday morning. For the record, I do not agree with this. While I believe Donald Trump made a fantastic...
Last month, the Salvation Army took a lot of heat after a training curriculum surfaced that urged white people to "lament" and "repent" for being White. As with all organizations that embrace Critical Race Theory, the Salvation Army too began to feel the mounting...
A megachurch pastor may have figured out a way to lure unsuspecting rednecks into his church by giving away free AR-15's to people who register to come to worship services. Pastor of River of Tri-Cities Church in Johnson City, TN, Todd Holmes, made the announcement on...

If you needed another reason to pull your children out of public school and homeschool them, look no further than a recent court case in the state of Indiana. An appeals court just ruled that Indiana parents cannot retain custody of their child because they...

Greg Johnson, the pastor of Memorial Presbyterian Church in St. Louis has been a vocal proponent of the "gay Christianity" movement known as Revoice. Johnson, a homosexual himself, has been instrumental in perpetuating the "gay Christianity" movement within...

Just when you thought you've heard it all, something as insanely asinine as what you're about to hear goes out into the world for public consumption. The person in this video, Leo Wolters Tejera, self-describes as a "disenfranchised, post evangelical, queer,...
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...
If the current pope of the Roman Catholic Church is anything, it's consistent. He's consistently inconsistent, that is. The pope has been inconsistent on homosexuality and the LGBTQ movement, recently telling homosexuals that they are "God's children" and that God...

Kamala Harris has once again demonstrated that she lacks any sense of rationality and decency. In a tweet that defies logic, she celebrates "LGBTQI+ children" with a photo of her embracing a man—cross-dressed like a sex worker—at a “pride” event. This isn't about...
Well, what do you know—another Christian institution seems poised to abandon Christ in favor of sexual anarchy. Fuller Theological Seminary—a school that when founded by Charles Fuller in 1947, actually believed in the inerrancy and authority of Scripture—is now...
Last night, the "He Gets Us" campaign—a marketing ploy headed up by Ed Stetzer that rebrands Jesus—displayed a sign at the Angels game proclaiming, "Jesus Included Everyone." This silly slogan, which is designed to subtly implant the idea that Jesus was "tolerant" of...
In 2018, a new movement was born out of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS) called Revoice, founded by Nate Collins, which sought to integrate queer theory into mainstream Evangelicalism. The movement began with a dissertation by Collins that is as absurd as...

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...
In recent years, a surge of academic inquiries has sought to dissect the contentious issue of abortion from various angles: moral, legal, scientific, and sociological. This has led to a broad range of opinions, some claiming the practice to be a woman's right, while...
David Hughes, the "pastor" of Church by the Glades in Coral Springs, FL, has turned this "church" into nothing short of a circus. Instead of nourishing souls with the gospel, Hughes seems more concerned with putting on a show. When a church trades the pulpit for a...
Tim Ross, an associate pastor at the controversial Transformation Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Serving alongside lead pastor Mike Todd, Ross is infamous for preaching sermons that not only twist the teachings of the Bible...
In Part XII of our series on the Snares of the Modern Church, we dismantle yet another beguiling but perilous slogan: the "Jesus Over Everything" mantra. On the surface, this catchphrase seems innocuous, even laudable. After all, shouldn't Jesus be our primary focus?...
“Atheism” is no longer an alien, rarely heard-of term. It is, in fact, a phenomenon that continues to grow at exponential rates in the 21st century. And when such a state of irreligiousness and disbelief engulfs the world while a great number of major and minor...
In an era marked by increasing ideological fragmentation, the discussion around how Christians should engage with LGBTQ individuals is not exempt from polarizing viewpoints. A recently uncovered video clip from the Acts 29 Network, represented by Justin Anderson and...
In an unsurprising yet deeply horrifying move, the California Senate has passed AB957, a law that not only usurps the God-given duty of parents to guide and protect their children but also establishes a chilling precedent for the future. This law is a tyrannical...
Four years after the COVID panic hit the world, the vast majority of sane people in this world have finally come to see it for what it is—a scare tactic designed to force the masses into submission. Yet, there are some out there who just don't seem to learn, despite...
In Part V of our series on Debunking Leftist Myths About Jesus, we confront the disingenuous claim that Jesus was a centrist—a convenient compromise in the ideological battles between progressives and conservatives. This myth, often peddled by compromised church...
Max Lucado, a prominent Christian author, recently discussed the concept of sin in a way that, while aiming for accessibility, inadvertently waters down the gravity of what sin truly is. Lucado describes sin as an "unwillingness to wait, to trust, to follow God's...
Upon hearing of the passing of Sarah Young last week, I made a decision to wait a few days before commenting on the tragic reality. Not because I believed I had to, but rather so these words would not get lost in the news cycle. I also know how people are in these...
In Part IV of our series on Debunking Leftist Myths About Jesus, we tackle the dishonest notion that Jesus was the epitome of modern-day "tolerance." The proponents of this myth willfully ignore the full scope of Christ's teachings to cherry-pick instances that serve...

Continuing our series on the pantheon of modern church snares, the phenomenon known as the "Seeker Sensitive Movement" merits particular attention. Born out of a desire for rapid church growth in the late 20th century, this unbiblical methodology puts the focus...
Richie, the clown barber, is a gimmicky character that combines the worlds of circus entertainment and haircare. While some may find his act amusing or engaging, the whole concept trivializes the craft of barbering. It's essentially a sideshow novelty. But three...
The newest trend in modern Evangelical megachurches is to set the lead pastor up as the primary visionary to which the rest of the church must conform without question. We've seen this evident in many of these megachurches from Hillsong to Elevation. In 2015, In a...
In this ongoing series, we continue to strip away the veneer of faux spirituality to expose the rotting core of myths that have led many astray in their understanding of Christ and His teachings. These fabrications are not harmless misunderstandings—they are perverse...
In a shocking but not shocking move, a Maryland district court judge has turned a blind eye to the plea of concerned parents, allowing a new policy that sidelines them from their children's education on LGBTQ issues. Conservative and Christian parents have come...
If you've been involved at all in Southern Baptist life over the past few years, you're probably aware by now of the growing controversy surrounding women pastors and preachers. With an increasing number of Southern Baptist churches calling women to preach and to...
The many ways that some movements have perverted the history and theology of Christ is a phenomenon that has perplexed many of us throughout history. At its root, this twisting of biblical truth typically stems from a desire to justify personal ideologies and...
A few months ago, I published a video on Twitter of a man named Curtis Chang who made the asinine argument that getting the COVID vaXX was just like Jesus saving people—the vaccine "redeemed an abortion" the same way Jesus redeems sinners. That was literally his...
