The phenomenon of inter-religious idolatry is nothing new and has been a mainstay of Paganism since the fall. Simply because some religious sects refer to themselves as "Christian" does not make it so. God, through the revelation of Himself and recorded in the...
With the cultural drive to subdue the entire population of the world into a collective state of sexual disorder comes the urgent and ever-growing need to shield our children from it. It seems like every day we're seeing another headline about boys who dress like girls...
The recently released film "Jesus Revolution," based on Greg Laurie's book of the same name, has gained significant attention. Notably, it is being endorsed by influential figures within the Evangelical community, including former Southern Baptist president James...
In the first century AD, the apostle Paul, who quickly became known as the apostle to the Gentiles, embarked on a series of missionary journeys, preaching the gospel throughout the Roman Empire and planting churches. Among the places where he planted churches was the...
“That there exists in the human mind and indeed by natural instinct, some sense of Deity, we hold to be beyond dispute, since God himself, to prevent any man from pretending ignorance, has endued all men with some idea of his Godhead, the memory of which he constantly...
If you've been watching evangelicals debate the topic of Christian Nationalism over the last several weeks, you'd probably notice that there is no shortage of hypocrisy in the arena, especially in the ever-evolving landscape of Christian wokeism. While the same...
"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matthew 10:28)In these modern times, when the moral fabric of our nation is stretched thin and the cacophony of discord echoes from sea to...
Pastor Tim Ross serves with Pastor Mike Todd at Transformation Church. Pastor Mike Todd, who we've written about numerous times, is the lead pastor of Transformation Church, which is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Pastor Tim Ross is an associate pastor at the same church...
In the ever-expanding world of religious art, countless images portraying Jesus Christ pervade the collective consciousness, attempting to shape the way believers perceive and connect with God. However, these depictions, along with supposed apparitions, are nothing...
As the eschatological clock continues to tick, and as we ever approach Christ's return, it seems like every self-promoting, virtue-signaling Evangelical has jumped on the bandwagon of ever-shifting cultural movements. These trends, ranging from the use of preferred...
In previous columns, I have dealt with the mistakes, uncertainties, ambiguities, contradictions, and general unreliability with radiometric dating of fossils. The dates produced by many modern methods are often dates that are called “scientifically correct” but...
In the biblical narrative of John 8:7, we find an account of a woman caught in the act of adultery. The religious leaders of the day, eager to test Jesus, brought the woman before Him and asked if she should be stoned according to the Law of Moses. Jesus, in His...
As the modern Church is now faced with its own internal debate of Christian Nationalism, we should examine how the multifaceted world of "cultural Christianity" has been a paradoxical force that can both benefit and challenge us. As we traverse the shifting sands of...
A "pride" group based in Florida, Pride of the Treasure Coast, has been forced to cancel an event they had originally planned, which exposed underage children to lewd sexual behavior. The cancellation of the event came as a result of a pending new law passed by both...
The state of Oregon has placed a heavy burden on conservative Christian families seeking to adopt by enacting Rule 413-200-0308. This new rule, which outlines the personal qualifications for potential adoptive parents and certified resource families, blatantly...
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,...
Numerous self-proclaimed pro-life Christians claim to oppose abortion, but their arguments are severely inadequate, un-Christian, and not based on the Bible. In reality, most of these Christians are unable to logically navigate or defend any theological position,...
Bethel Church, which is best known for blaspheming the Holy Spirit, preaching a false gospel, and putting into practice such things that would make even witches cringe—things such as grave sucking—is pastored by its lead "apostle," Bill Johnson, who has made some of...
The prosperity gospel is like a shimmering mirage in the desert of life, enticing the weary traveler with promises of a lush oasis just within reach. As they approach, hope fills their heart, only to find that the closer they get, the further the illusion recedes,...
If you're not aware by now, Justin Peters, The Dissenter, and several other whistleblowers have been sounding the alarm on Florida's flagship Southern Baptist congregation that is home to numerous openly, practicing homosexuals who serve in the church and even...
In contemporary society, women value their autonomy and self-reliance. A majority of women in today's secular world view reliance on men as detrimental and feel it diminishes their worth. This collective mindset in modern women contributes to the rise of men...
"Any one of the people of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones. I Myself will set My face against that man and will cut him off from...
The current political landscape is truly a sight to behold, a spectacle to witness, as it has transformed into quite a farcical display, a mixture of virtue-signaling and pragmatism. A distressingly growing number of people who claim to be conservative are being taken...

Two of the most popular artists in Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) are Matt Maher and Matt Redman. The two have produced many popular songs that can be heard in just about any church of any flavor around the world today. Songs like Redman's Here For You, with...
There tends to be a great amount of resentment towards discerning believers who are quick to confront other Christians who are in sin or even false believers who are masquerading as Christians. The argument is that it distracts from the love of Jesus and...
Jesus said, "The zeal for Your House has consumed me (Psalm 69:9)." I wonder, has it consumed us? I would rather be accused of being rude in my zeal to keep the church pure in doctrine and behavior than to be guilty of arrogance by pretending there are some things God...
No, Bob, the Vaccine Isn’t Just Like The Gospel by Ben Mullen I’ll confess my biases up front; I haven’t been a fan of Sideshow Bob for a long time. Oh, I’m sorry, you might know him as Robert Jeffress, Pastor of First Baptist Dallas, but to me, he’s always been...
A major Roman Catholic theological research institution claims that based on a "ground-breaking" theological study endorsed by over sixty "prominent scholars," the traditional Roman Catholic doctrines opposing homosexual relationships and sex severely flawed and based...
Postmodernism is a reaction to the idea of the assumed certainty of things like science, or any objective efforts to explain reality. It is, at its most basic level, anchored in skepticism which is itself a self-defeating concept when it’s all said and done. However,...
We’ve been arguing for years that The Gospel Coalition (TGC) has abandoned the gospel — but it’s usually in favor of some form of social justice activism. There is a lot of useless debate on whether or not it is acceptable for churches to put off weekly assembly...

While leftism is synonymous with the death and destruction of humanity, the growing disdain for humanity and assault on human life has gained steam exponentially in recent years. With rapid expanses in access to abortion death camps, the enactment of Democrat policies...
by Ben Mullen Like Gandalf, the White Wizard, Dr. Francis Collins exercises a strange hold over his disciples. It is odd, indeed, to see two erstwhile opponents - Russell “Wormtongue” Moore and Robert “Bozo Baggins” Jeffress – sit down at the table with Gandork...
Paris streets were filled with protesters; the city was burning; more than 15,000 federal troops were gathered to stand by for trouble; the people were starving; the king fired the dude in charge of finances without any impact; the Bastille (prison) was attacked and...
by Ben Mullen Part one of this paper identified the four arguments Dr. Collins (and really, every “Christian ethicist”) uses to persuade Christians to take the Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, or AstraZeneca COVID vaccines, despite their use of a cell line...

by Ben Mullen A good friend insisted I read an article by Dr. Francis Collins in the Washington Post. “He’s a strong Christian”, my friend enthused, “and he says pastors and Christians need to ignore the conspiracy theories and take the coronavirus vaccine!” I...
I don’t want to write this but I must. And since everything seems to be racist, it will be considered racist by the racists. Informed, honest people know this truth—most leading civil rights leaders, black and white, are hypocrites. They use “civil rights”...
Tim Keller has long been heralded as one of the most profound thought leaders in Reformed Christianity. An author of several books and a popular speaker in the Evangelical speaking circuit, Keller has been silently creeping his way in under a facade of a defender of...
Societies have seen sexual revolutions repeatedly all throughout history. From the Scriptures, we see that it was a type of sexual revolution that caused God to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and in Romans 1, Paul speaks of the unbelieving nations as those...
Shaun Nepstad, the pastor of People Church based out of Chicago and has campuses all over the world, preached a sermon on Easter Sunday where he had bags of garbage hauled into the church and preached out of a dumpster on stage. This foolish charade gives new meaning...
Revoice is the "gay Christian" movement largely associated with the historically conservative Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) that advocates for gay "celibacy" without giving up your gay identity while claiming to be a Christian. The movement is largely prevalent...
If Christian leaders were faithful, publications like Christianity Today and The Gospel Coalition would cease to exist. At least, they would cease to identify as Christian publications. In a recent article, Christianity Today says that Jesus came to Earth to teach us...
Black Theology has not served the black community well. As a theology of liberation, it has, like all Marxian and neo-Marxian movements, produced the opposite of its intended ends. Black Theology, proferred as the theological energy behind the Black Power movement, a...
In addition to the reality, as I discussed in part two, that desegregated schools are as oppressive as segregated schools, there is something else one can pick up from Jeremiah Wright's description of learning styles. It makes sense that people with different learning...
I think it should be clear why I claimed, in the first part, that it will be a long time, if ever, before Blacks cease to see themselves as oppressed. Should a black man ever cease to see himself as oppressed, he will have apostatized from the faith, leaving the...
As we await the outcome of the Derek Chauvin trial, including the rioting if the jury gets it “wrong,” we are faced yet again with the question: Under what circumstances would anyone stipulate that the oppression of Blacks has come to an end? The short, and still most...
I don't know about you, but it isn't legal law-abiding citizens carrying guns that make me feel unsafe, it's the illegal criminals running around in the streets terrorizing an unarmed citizenry that makes me feel unsafe. And worse, it is a government monopoly on law...
The Overton Window is quickly being moved as Southern Baptists increasingly shift closer to the progressive position of the last decade on abortion. The Democrat mantra on abortion used to be "safe, legal, and rare." It was their way of disguising their pro-abortion...

Over the years, I’ve observed a number of Evangelical “thought-leaders” publish their musings about social issues while contending that both progressivism and conservatism are equally valid ways to express one’s Christian faith and that true biblical faith lies...
Abortion culture is rooted in the cult of Molech and pagan child sacrifice and those who adhere to it will do anything to protect their sacrament of abortion. While these cultists claim "freedom from religion," the fact is that their abortion culture is their...
Drag Queen Story Hour has been a perversion plaguing public libraries and schools around the nation for several years but what about Drag Queen prayer time for children during Sunday morning worship at church? In a recent spate of pulpit perversion, churches...

It's been a while since I've covered anything that Southern Baptist pastor, Dwight McKissic has said. It's mainly because everything he says, no matter how outlandish it is, he's already said before and it just really isn't newsworthy. But I ran across another tweet...

In an era where the identity politics playbook is seemingly rewritten daily, the latest Gallup poll's findings—that 7.6% of U.S. adults now identify as LGBTQ+—is less a statistic and more a cultural bellwether. It's like a canary in the coal mine for traditional...

In recent years, extreme environmentalism has taken center stage in the public discourse, with numerous overly-impassioned voices calling for a radical reevaluation of our relationship with the natural world, as though the future of humanity is solely dependent upon...
As believers, we should take special care in avoiding self-righteous fits of anger that arise out of our own displeasures in life. Yet, there are times when righteous indignation is appropriate, and to not express such anger, that aligns with God's will, could...
In a world where few Christian families still exist, and yearn to protect and nurture our children, the very thought of parents willingly relinquishing their children to the sinister sex cult of Dionysus should send shivers down the spine. This abhorrent cult,...
