In an unsurprising blow to traditional, conservative Christians, the Church of England's Synod passed a motion allowing same-sex couples to have a religious blessing ceremony in their local church. Despite the pleas of Bishop of London, Sarah Mullally, for unity, the...
Elevation Church is a powerhouse in the contemporary Christian music industry and rivals that of two of the most insidious faux Christian movements in the world—Hillsong and Bethel Church. The so-called "worship" music that comes out of Elevation is very popular and...
The growing threat of statism within the Church is a matter of immense concern in today's society. This dangerous political ideology holds the state as the supreme authority, promoting state-sponsored secularism that allows religious practices but forbids any...
We brought to you a while back a recent spectacle at the Center for Hope, a United Methodist church in Wintersville, Ohio, where a couple sang a trite and manipulative cover of “Eye of the Tiger,” is just one example of the degradation and degeneration that plagues...

The world we live in today is a shadow of its biblical foundations, marred by the consequences of Adam's fall and a complete disregard for its Creator. This rejection of God has left us with a flawed and obscured understanding of our purpose and place in the world,...
The "carnal Christian" heresy, also referred to as antinomianism, has been a persistent and recurring false teaching throughout the history of the Christian Church. This heresy asserts that a person can have faith in Jesus Christ and still engage in sinful behavior...
Jesus told Christians to be set apart from the world. Yet, somehow in modern times, what passes as "Christianity" is virtually indistinguishable from the paganized culture and is often designed that way on purpose.As we've written about numerous times over the years,...
I don't think you have to be a complete iconoclast to know when depicting God crosses the line. God's commandments are clear—"you shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above" and "You shall not bow down to them."What...

It's beyond fascinating to watch the progressive left act like they have some kind of moral high ground by pretending to abstain from politics all the while, they are demonstrably shilling for the liberal agenda. But to see those who claim Christ spend their time...
I will be dealing here with some views among Mormons which have changed over time. As I will mention, past doctrines on race have since been repudiated. In no way can anything here be said to represent the personal views of any current Mormon. In the...

In this episode, I rant about Joe Carter’s article at the (anti) Gospel Coalition and entertain the question, does Joe Carter really care about your sanctification where politics is concerned or does he care about something else far more troubling?
Michael Gerson is a contributor to the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) led by Democrat, Russell Moore, and Gerson is highly promoted on the SBC-funded ERLC website, has appeared in several podcasts with Moore, and is also heavily...

Christianity today wants churches to reduce the stigma of divorce. Marriages that end in divorce are already nearly equally as common as marriages that do not end in divorce. According to statistics, up to 45 percent of first marriages end in divorce and second and...
Today marks Super Bowl LIV, the 54th annual NFL championship game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. How do I know that? Well, to be honest, I googled it. What I do know, however, is that the culture surrounding the professional sport has seen...

The early beginnings of liberation theology can be traced to Latin America in the 1960s. The thrust of this movement began as a result of young Catholic and Protestant theologians reflecting on the people’s life of faith within the context of the people’s resistance...
