The very insinuation that modern, hip, "progressive" churches (those who pander to popular culture) are evolving into bastions of tolerance and love is enough to cause peals of laughter, snorts of derision, and plenty of eye-rolls throughout the hallowed halls of...
Sadie Robertson became famous in part due to her family's reality TV show, "Duck Dynasty," which aired from 2012 to 2017 where she gained a following for her "positive and wholesome" image on the show, which often included discussions of her faith and values. In 2014,...

Polls indicate that most Americans led by the younger generations have a fuzzy, freakish, friendly feeling toward Socialism, proving that most young Americans are dumb as dirt. Additionally, it proves my generation did not do a good job rearing our own children. A...

God is exposing the hypocritical Evangelical leaders who have been harping on conservatives for years insisting that there is no immorality in professing Christians voting for the Democrat Party. We've argued for years that voting for Democrats is incompatible with...
