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...
Beth Moore, when she apostatized a few years 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...
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...
In a world awash with the deceptive allure of secular progressivism, a sinister myth has crept into the hearts of many, even within the sacred confines of the Church. It's the poisoned idea that Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Savior of humanity, was an advocate for...
Benny Hinn is unequivocally a false teacher, a purveyor of doctrines that grossly contradict the inerrant Word of God as revealed in the Bible. His teachings, soaked in the charismatic soup of the prosperity gospel, are a plague on true Christianity, twisting the...
In our continuing examination of the snares afflicting the modern church, we have delved into various traps such as superficial unity, cultural appeasement, and the distortion of biblical convictions. As we arrive at Part X of this critical series, we uncover yet...
In a move that has raised eyebrows within the denomination, Southern Baptist podcaster and Executive Committee member, Jonathan Howe has been appointed as the interim president and CEO of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) Executive Committee, following the sudden...
In an era marked by uncertainty and a drift away from biblical truth, the warnings and judgments found in the pages of Scripture serve as grave reminders to us. These historical accounts are not merely tales of a bygone era but resounding calls to fidelity and...
The world today is flooded with distorted depictions and representations of Jesus Christ. In a quest for relevancy and appeal, modern culture, and even most modern churches, have twisted the figure of Jesus into something more palatable, more in line with human...
In the fascinating journey through the snares that entangle the modern church, the lure of "Cultural Appeasement" in Part VIII highlighted the ways in which church leaders and congregations can be ensnared by the desire to satisfy worldly desires. Now, we turn our...
An unsettling trend of disregard for biblical inerrancy and authority has swept through the modern church, ushering in an era of half-hearted fidelity to the Word of God. Popular false teachers like Andy Stanley, who spends the majority of his time belittling the...
Over the past two years, the so-called "woke church" movement appeared to be losing steam as its obsession with social justice and identity politics began losing favor with many of the laypeople who are committed to sound biblical doctrine and waking up to the...
9Marks, better known as 9Marx, is an Evangelical Marxist organization founded by Southern Baptist pastor, Mark Dever and its sole purpose is to convert Evangelicals into social justice activists and, primarily, Democrat voters. 9Marks is responsible for advancing the...

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...

Christianity Today has truly outdone itself by stringing together the so-called "epic trifecta" of Greta Gerwig's Barbie, Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour, and Taylor Swift's Eras Tour into a fanciful tale of cultural enlightenment. If we are to believe this narrative,...
In the modern age, it's not uncommon to find churches falling into a pattern of cheesy, shallow worship music. The superficiality of these songs often reveals much about the theology in the church itself. When a church preaches and a congregation subscribes to shallow...
Alex Jones has definitely gone off the deep end, and it's for different reasons than most leftists would have you believe. There was once a time when I was caught up in the hype of Jones and his takes. Jones is known for his provocative takes on conspiracy theories,...
One of my favorite follows on Twitter is Woke Preacher Clips (WPC). I'm the kind of person who is *mildly* entertained by the mass amounts of stupidity plaguing our world, but at the same time, I grieve over it in the hopes that God will open the eyes of some of these...
In a recent conversation with The Gospel Coalition (TGC) in it’s “Good Faith Debates” series, TGC Contributor, Andrew Wilson argued his views on self-defense, gun control, and biblical mandates regarding turning the other cheek. His argument can be generously...
An alarming trend of arrests of Christians preaching the gospel in public spaces—a completely legal and constitutionally protected activity—is beginning to break of real and actual persecution in the United States. Just two weeks ago, we reported that a young teen was...
Todd White is a charlatan of the highest order, masquerading as a preacher and pastor. His supposed “healings” are nothing more than cheap parlor tricks, and his association with known false prophets and heretics should be a red flag to anyone who encounters him. But...
Anyone who still believes that the popular television show, The Chosen, is a Christian television show is deceiving themselves. While Christians and churches have been entranced by this show for the last several years, many of us have been sounding the alarm...
In Part VII of our series on the Snares of the Modern Church, we delved into the pitfalls of "Cultural Relevance," where the church, in its quest to be relatable, risks compromising core beliefs. Now, in Part VIII, we navigate the treacherous waters of "Cultural...
Eric Metaxas used to be someone who, while not completely devoted to sound doctrine, his version of “mere Christianity” at least fell somewhere between the bounds of orthodoxy–even if grazing the very edge of it. In recent years, however, that can no longer be the...

I woke up this morning, and to my complete shock and dismay, I saw that Southern Baptist Convention president, Bart Barber, is slated to join a secular publication that's hosting hundreds of speakers, 90+ percent of which are progressives, to speak on this issue of...
In the modern cathedrals of pop-Christianity, where the beats of "worship music" resonate just a tad louder than doctrinal integrity, a new portrait of Jesus has been painted—one that bears less resemblance to the God revealed to us in Scripture and more to a...
Presuppositional apologetics is an approach within Christian apologetics that asserts that one's foundational beliefs, or presuppositions, form the basis for all reasoning. In essence, it contends that everyone comes to the table with a set of presupposed beliefs or...
The Gospel Coalition has made quite the proposition suggesting that a novel source of enlightenment awaits the Church in the most unlikely of places: Barbie. Their article confidently boasts, "Why ‘Barbie’ Matters for the Church." Indeed, amidst centuries of church...

This has been quite the summer for movie-themed shenanigans in the pulpit. If it isn't Saddleback pastors dressing up like Toy Story characters, then it's a Top Gun-themed sermon. And if not that, then it's a clown building a bird's nest on stage, climbing in it, and...

In today's rapidly changing cultural landscape, it is becoming even more important for the church to defend our younger generation by teaching and standing firm on the foundational truths of Scripture. One of the most contentious topics of our day is the issue of...

The megachurch industrial complex is grappling with a significant dilemma. Often, these churches start small, but are built around a production or personality rather than the gospel itself. It's rare to see a large church that doesn't depend on some form of...
