In the present ecclesiastical landscape, the danger of encountering false teachers who infiltrate our churches and disseminate their deceptive doctrines is a growing concern. These wolves in sheep's clothing insinuate themselves within the congregation, sowing...

Last month, there was an uproar on social media involving an article published at The Gospel Coalition that described Jesus’s relationship with the Church in a graphically detailed comparison to how a man embraces and ejaculates into his wife.“Christ gives himself to...
Among the myriad of daunting challenges that confront us in contemporary times, one stands out as particularly insidious—the deeply ingrained mentality that regards everything as easily disposable. The unbridled convenience afforded by the omnipresence of disposable...
In a world where it has become trendy to challenge long-standing norms and sacred spaces are being persistently questioned and reimagined, it is intriguing to witness the growing fascination with the acceptance and celebration of aberrant sexual behaviors and...
James MacDonald, the former founder of Harvest Bible Chapel, has faced a series of allegations and controversies throughout his career as a pastor. Prior to his firing from the church in 2019, he was accused of financial misconduct, authoritarian behavior, and...

Church by the Glades, the Southern Baptist Convention's flagship circus located in Coral Springs, FL, is a 10,000-member goat farm that is known for its extravagant performances and professional renditions of profane secular music and dancing. Some of its more famous...
I saw a post on Twitter today, a video clip of functional socialists in Chicago decrying Walmart's recent decision to shutter four unprofitable stores in high-crime low-income neighborhoods throughout the city. I also saw a response to the tweet: "Who will we steal...
Throughout my years, I have unfortunately witnessed countless religious groups with distorted beliefs and cult-like tendencies arise as ferocious attack dogs, intent on ripping apart the very body of Christ. These self-proclaimed prophets of apostasy often come in...
A recent letter from Congressman Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary, to FBI Director Christopher Wray has raised concerns over the FBI's handling of domestic violent extremism investigations against Catholic Americans and its impact on First...
During the early days of Christianity, the fledgling Church faced numerous obstacles and disagreements over its teachings and doctrines. Much of the professing Church found itself at odds over how to interpret scripture and understand doctrine, eventually giving rise...
Last year, The Dissenter reported on the newly-proposed partnership between the Southern Baptist Convention’s North American Mission Board (NAMB) and a heretical “evangelism” ministry called He Gets Us. He Gets Us, as we demonstrated, is not only a gay-affirming...
It's bad enough that the queer community has created a movement within their movement that they dare to label Christianity, a movement that not only seeks to normalize, but also to glorify sicj grotesque sex acts that would even have the assailants at Sodom and...
One has to ask the question: why is the LGBTQ industry so hell-bent on targeting children? Why is LEGO holding a queer festival in its stores to promote sexual deviancy to children who would otherwise not even think about such things?To be clear, the LGBTQ movement...
The question has been posed: can someone be saved while rejecting a literal interpretation of the creation account in Genesis? The answer to this question is not as straightforward as some may hope, and as much as I hate to use the word "nuance," there is some nuance...
The sexual revolution is squarely in the hands of the LGBTQ movement and those that support it. And the fact that a large media company like Netflix can produce and broadcast a show that glorifies the sexualization of children and get away with it speaks volumes about...
In many modern churches, the true essence of divine grace and mercy has been distorted and diluted, resulting in a skewed understanding of the transformative power of God's love. With their plush pews, rainbow-splattered banners, and messages of unconditional...
The great Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon once predicted that “a time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats!” He was correct, and that time is now. In recent years, there has been an insidious but...
The following rebuke was written by Ken Ham in a post on Twitter: Watch the short video clip attached of Andy Stanley. He is a teacher with a large flock in Georgia. How should we respond to what he is teaching in this clip? God’s Word has a severe warning for those...
Before his departure, Russell Moore was arguably the most polarizing figure in the Southern Baptist Convention, notorious for his extreme leftist activism and controversial stances on numerous issues. From his soft support of homosexuality to his advocacy for open...
I don’t typically write about political or corporate issues unless they somehow relate to the Church. So I am writing about this because I believe that it affects Christians and is demonstrative of the judgment of God on a nation that has abandoned a Christian...
No one denies, disagrees, disputes, or debates that we are here; but how did we get here and what is the origin of the universe? Those questions have been asked by mankind since the beginning of time. I will provide the answer today! There are only four possibilities...
Syncretism often occurs when two or more cultures or religions come into contact, leading to the blending of their spiritual beliefs, rituals, and symbols. This can result in a unique fusion of religious ideas and practices. There are two major religions in the world...

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...

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...
