A prominent LGBTQ activist that TGC relentlessly promotes is Rebecca McLaughlin. McLaughlin, herself, openly admits that she is romantically attracted to other women. During this presentation at The Gospel Coalition, she states,“I’ve been romantically attracted to...
I'm not legalistic when it comes to what you wear to church, even if you're a pastor. But there is a such thing as reverence, and there are some who go out of their way to be irreverent in how they present themselves to the Lord for worship. Take Pastor Scott...
I post this here as an example of exactly how NOT to advocate for life at an abortion clinic. As one who has spent many hours in front of abortion clinics preaching the gospel and pleading with mothers not to murder their children, I can readily admit that the...
If you can't trust a man to pastor his church according to the edicts of Scripture, how can you trust him to run the country if elected president? The answer? You can't. That's why I would suggest not voting for Ryan Binkley, co-pastor of the non-denominational Create...
Disclaimer: This is not a political article nor is it meant to make a political point. I do that from time to time, and seek to engage politics through a decidedly biblical worldview. That being said, politics can't be completely avoided here, but this article is...
In the midst of a progressive shift and growing divide within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), social justice has become the dividing line that some are not willing to cross and others are not willing to go without. The social justice movement in the SBC has...
I've never been a fan of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) or its movement. I really just don't care much for the personalities involved in it, particularly, Charlie Kirk. But there are a lot of churches—so-called conservative churches—that are embracing, promoting, and...
Today, the glittering facades of prosperity and self-interest have largely shrouded the sacred reverence and humble piety at the heart of Christianity. The Holy Scripture is often misinterpreted and misused to serve the interests of man rather than glorify the...
The winds of modern thought have blown into the halls of the Church, stirring up a novel perspective that now echoes loudly from the pulpit to the pews. The perception that doubt is a beneficial, even necessary, component of faith has started to hold sway. This novel...
In a recent conversation with Jim Davis at The Gospel Coalition, Pastor of McLean Bible Church in the DC area, David Platt offered his assessment of the political tensions within the American Church that warrants a biblical critique. Platt attempted to identify an...
“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22) “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination…” (Leviticus 20:13) When confronted with these Biblical commands, the...
The Southern Baptist Convention's rogue entity known as the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) has a strange reputation of doing the exact opposite of what its constituents support, not to mention, the opposite of what the Bible teaches, on a number of...
In the maelstrom of our continually metamorphosing society, a singular issue continually fuels the fires of contention, setting minds and hearts ablaze: the matter of abortion. This contentious topic cleaves society with an almost surgical precision, causing a chasm...
John Calvin said, “When God wants to judge a nation, He gives them wicked rulers”. The prophet Jeremiah also tells us in Jeremiah 23:19, “See, the storm of the LORD will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked.”One out of five military...
If you needed any other reason to write off the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), look no further than its abortion lobby. I don't say that tongue-in-cheek, either. You may be asking, "abortion lobby"? The answer is, yes....
I'm typically not drawn to contemporary Christian music for the very reasons that I've written about a dozen times. I simply do not view the industry as God-honoring, rather it is a self-promoting, man-pleasing industry designed to launch the careers of artists whose...
A few days ago, as Iowa passed a six-week abortion ban, the state's Capitol building was amassed with terroristic militant women seeking to do anything they could to stop the state from interfering with their self-imposed "right" to murder their children when they're...
The Apostle Paul, in his second epistle to the Corinthians, makes an assertion of unparalleled profundity: "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21). This single verse in the...
I've been writing quite a bit the last few days about the issue of women pastors in the SBC and how the issue has become one of the most hot-button topics in recent Southern Baptist history. In fact, I can't remember a time during my former Southern Baptist life where...
As we gaze upon the sprawling panorama of modern culture, we're struck by a blinding constellation of unchecked desires and self-absorbed pursuits, illuminating the night sky of human morality. This present era, in its rush to drape itself in the gilded cloak of...
Last month, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) passed an amendment that would bar cooperating churches from having women in the pastorate as is commanded in Scripture. The amendment was passed overwhelmingly by the messengers with more than 2/3 of the vote in...
You're probably aware by now that the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), during its annual meeting in June, voted to disfellowship several churches with women pastors, including Saddleback Church which was formerly pastored by Rick Warren. During the convention, the...
The Word of God stands like a mighty mountain, steadfast amidst the shifting sands of human culture and philosophy. Yet, we see attempts at every turn to chip away at this divine edifice, to cast doubt upon its authenticity and to discredit its authority. Skeptics...
This morning, I stumbled upon a tweet that sparked a sudden revelation or insight within me. The problem with the Southern Baptist Convention is that so many Southern Baptist leaders and pastors desire a false Jesus—one who is willing to compromise with their desires...

Nothing speaks up close and personal like a distant avatar on a computer screen that has no idea you're there. Popular megachurch, LifeChurch.TV, which is pastored by Craig Groeschel--a close ally and associate of Andy Stanley and part of each other's cultish...
The Gospel Coalition has published a lot of trash over the years--and I do mean a lot of trash. The vast majority of its garbage is nothing more than leftist propaganda that advances narratives that support social justice and cultural Marxism. But I believe this is...
God created mankind with an urgent compulsion to defend himself from all threats to his life, which is only sensible if His creation was to survive. That means mankind must have food, water, and shelter. One must add money (or some substitute) to the list since...
Christmas is a Christian holiday, no matter how you look at it. Spare me the arguments that it has Pagan origins and actually borrows from other festivals and was only later Christianized as a holiday. Let's just be real; without Christ, there never would have been a...
The Bible gives us accounts of several cases in which God interacts with Satan or Satan's demonic minions. For example, we read this story in Job 1:6-12: "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among...
"Am I a God at hand, declares the Lord, and not a God far away? Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord." --Jeremiah 23:23-24 With the Scriptures, Christians have always...
A world-famous father that everyone seemed to love and respect was a violent, mean, raging man who often mistreated his son, especially during Christmas, but that almost unbelievable truth would not be revealed for decades after it could have made a difference....
Pastor Dennis Rouse of Victory World Church performed a highly cringeworthy stunt during a worship service where he called a black man out of the audience to come to get his feet washed. During the ridiculous stunt, the pastor explains to this guy that what he is...
Last year, The Gospel Coalition published an article referring to Kyle Rittenhouse as a "mass shooter" and compared him to the actual racist mass shooter, Dylan Roof. Several, including Reformation Charlotte, called on The Gospel Coalition to remove the slanderous...
In 2015, Southern Baptist leaders including Al Mohler, Russell Moore, JD Greear, and others broke bread with the LGBTQ community and apologized for holding to a staunch biblical position on human sexuality and repentance. In this discussion between Southern Baptist...
The editors of this publication are no fans of Patricia King, Michael Brown, or the charismatic New Apostolic Reformation movement as a whole. These aberrant movements serve only to undermine the gospel, detract from the authority of God's word, and, in many cases,...
Last night, a Black Lives Matter activist plowed his red Ford Escape through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconson, a suburb of Milwaukee, killing at least five and injuring at least 40 others. The activist, a well-known rapper in the area who rapped about taking...
If you've been keeping up with the news, you're likely aware of the tragic massacre that took place in Waukesha, WI last night just outside of Milwaukee and just a short drive from Kenosha, WI, where Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges against him on Friday....
Southern Baptist president, Ed Litton, has been embroiled in a plagiarism scandal since we uncovered in June multiple examples spanning multiple years of him stealing the words, personal stories, illustrations, and outlines of other pastors, including JD Greear, his...
The long-awaited film, Enemies Within the Church, has finally been released. And let me just say, it's mind-blowing. As one who has covered the social justice Marxist infiltration in the Church for almost ten years, I can say that the quality and accuracy of this film...
False teachers are everywhere and range from mild and subtle to outright, rank heretics who obviously feed off of itching ears and are a judgment against those people. We cover them all--no false teacher is immune to our exposure at Reformation Charlotte. This is why...
Yesterday, a prominent Southern Baptist seminary, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (MBTS) in Kansas City, announced the hiring of a new faculty member, Thomas Kidd, as Research Professor of Church History. While the Southern Baptist Convention has made great...
John Hagee, a controversial false teacher that Reformation Charlotte has written about previously, and pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, TX, is no stranger to politics in the pulpit. While politics is important--and we believe that political ideology should...
A prominent movement within Evangelicalism has emerged in recent years primarily through two organizations associated with "gay Christianity." These two organizations--Revoice and Living Out--have primarily served to normalize aberrant sexuality in conservative...
Justin Giboney, a co-founder of the social Marxist organization known as the AND Campaign and a prominent The Gospel Coalition (TGC) contributor, says that a rejection of redemptive social justice is a rejection of orthodoxy. To phrase this in simpler terms, Giboney...
Over the weekend, the Republican Party announced a partnership with the Log Cabin Republicans and called it the RNC Pride Coalition. The coalition is essentially a celebration of the LGBTQ movement and a subversive way to smuggle identity politics into the...
Last week, the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary joined with Asbury Seminary to file a lawsuit against the Joe Biden administration's draconian vaccine mandate being implemented through OSHA. The two seminaries argue that the mandate is unconstitutional and...
The new Evangelical Sexual Revolution is a term that was coined by Reformation Charlotte to expose the movement within the Evangelical Church to shift its stance on human sexuality away from biblical fidelity toward a center-left view that embraces aberrant sexuality...
In the neverending battle for orthodoxy in the Southern Baptist Convention, every single day, we face the influx of liberalism--both theological and practical. As the fight over wokeness, #metoo, and religious freedom ramp up, those who should be leading the charge to...
Ben Franklin in the 1750s voiced concern over too many Germans arriving in Pennsylvania and even commented on their “swarthy complexion.” Germans call it Uberfremdung or “over-foreignization.” It’s a fear that their homeland will be changed to where it is no...
There is so much in this world masquerading as "Christianity" and this blog endeavors to equip believers to be able to discern what is good from what is evil. In fact, in the like-mindedness of Charles Spurgeon, it's more important to be able to discern what's right...
There are about 4,200 religions, churches, denominations, religious bodies, and faith groups in the world, and Pope Francis is trying to get everyone together; however, each group makes its own pitch for their “way.” Obviously, Francis has to convince everyone to...
Over the years, we’ve written a number of articles on the increasingly affirming and ecumenical Max Lucado. Previously, we described Lucado as “fairly orthodox though not without problems,” however, in his neverending slide toward total apostasy, Lucado continues to...
Stacey Abrams, who should now be labeled Georgia's traveling televangelist to underprivileged churches around the state, definitely thinks highly of herself. The left constantly accuses conservatives of embracing what they’re calling “White Christian Nationalism.”...
When your entire livelihood is built on purposely creating an atmosphere to propagate a lie like White Supremacy, then one must resort to lies, fables, and hoaxes in order to secure their futures. This is why people like Jussie Smollet and his Evangelical counterpart,...
Since Russell Moore departed the Southern Baptist Convention earlier this year, he has been on an inevitable slide toward complete and total apostasy. While some of us have been sounding the alarm against Moore since he took office at the Southern Baptist Convention's...
It's not okay for conservatives to do this, but it's perfectly fine if leftist "churches" endorse candidates and instruct their congregation to vote for them specifically from the pulpit because, well, social justice and stuff. As moderate leftist leg-crossing...
The Gospel Coalition continues to set itself up as the authority on civil political engagement within the Church. Every election cycle as we approach election day, The Gospel Coalition begins its "nuanced" approach to politics and tries to make the case that...

Heresy: KenoticismKenoticism, also known as Kenosis Theory, or simply as Kenosis, is a Christological heresy that stems from a misinterpretation of Philippians 2:7, where it is stated that Jesus "emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in...
