The twisting of Scripture for personal gain is nothing new, but I have observed a rapidly growing and disturbing trend among politicians who claim to be Christians and religious leaders who support them, who attempt to reason that certain passages of Scripture hold...
As we find ourselves in the tumultuous and uncertain times of the church age, it is of utmost importance that we exercise discernment in discerning the truth of scripture from the plethora of falsehoods that seek to assail our faith. The great theologian and pastor...
Oh, the irony of it all! The Miss Universe contest, a pageant of beauty and elegance, was graced with the presence of the Ukrainian delegation, adorned in the most saccharine and sacrosanct of garbs. Draped in a costume of pure, unadulterated white and gold, they...
HB 1894, also known as the High Occupancy Vehicle and High Occupancy Toll Lane Exemption for Pregnant Women bill, is a piece of legislation that seeks to grant a pregnant person's fetus the status of a passenger in a car, thereby allowing the vehicle in which the...
The modern Evangelical church often presents what appears to be a vibrant and pulsating atmosphere, a facade brimming with the fervor of the congregation as they begin to assemble. The ambiance is thick with a sense of anticipation and expectation as the lights dim...
The sovereign, holy, righteous, and eternal God declares in Jeremiah 1:5, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations." The historic understanding of this passage in Biblical...
This is not satire, this actually happened. It is truly staggering and deeply concerning to hear the absurdity of the claims made by certain members of the Democratic party regarding the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. This legislation, passed by the...
Dear Mother, Made in the Image of God,I write to you today with a message of hope, a message that should pierce through the veil of despair that has enshrouded your heart, and bring forth a ray of light to guide you out of the dark abyss of guilt and shame. I...
The subject of Christian Nationalism has risen to the forefront of the current discourse on religious and political affairs, its very mention inciting a firestorm of passion and disagreement not unlike the tempestuous controversies that plagued the late pop icon,...
Let us imagine a man, a pastor, who forsakes the traditional trappings of his calling, forgoing the pulpit for a mere stool. He sits, not with the regal bearing of a man called by God to deliver his word, but with the slouching posture of a man worn down by the...
The doctrine of immanence holds that God is intimately and actively engaged in the world and the lives of human beings, rather than being detached and aloof. This doctrine posits that God is both transcendent and immanent, transcending human understanding yet present...
It is a criminal offense, high treason, against a Holy and righteous God that the liberal Protestant denominations have allowed drag queens to infiltrate their churches and defile their sanctuaries. These clowns, who flaunt deviant and sinful lifestyles for cash and...
The Enneagram, which is touted as a way–apart from the Scriptures–to gain insight into one’s “true self,” restoring balance and developing more desirable qualities to one’s personality and reaching a state of spiritual “freedom,” is a system of personality typing and...
The concept of the aseity of God, or God's independence and self-sufficiency, is a fundamental doctrine in Christianity and constitutes one of God's key incommunicable attributes. This doctrine finds its roots in scripture, which attests to God's absolute sovereignty...
Tim Keller's preoccupation with social justice within his theological discourse is a matter of concern that merits critical evaluation by those who adhere to his teachings. In his sermons, he frequently posits a significant emphasis on social justice issues, often...

Macedonianism, also known as the Pneumatomachian heresy, is a pernicious belief system that emerged in the early 4th century and was propagated by the heretical Greek bishop Macedonius. This insidious heresy denies the personhood of the Holy Spirit and diminishes the...
I know this story has been out for a couple of weeks now, but I really felt the urge to add my thoughts. Back in December, a British woman was arrested for praying on a public sidewalk near an abortion clinic. She wasn't interacting with anyone nor was she involved in...
Christalignment is a false Christian group based out of Melbourne, Australia that has aligned itself with the cult of Bethel Church. Christalignment is well-known for its "Christian" version of tarot card readings and other occult practices. A few years ago,...
The Drag Queen Story Hour phenomenon is a vile, disgusting, and reprehensible attempt to normalize sexual perversion and groom innocent children into accepting and embracing it. It is utterly abhorrent that the Coalition for Social Justice is so shamelessly and...
The transgender movement or ideology is one of the most insidious and destructive forces at work in our society today. It is a direct assault on the biblical truth of human sexuality, and its aim is to undermine and ultimately destroy the traditional family unit and...

Last night was admittedly another one of those late-night, nail-biting moments where I just couldn't put the remote down and turn the television off until Fox News called the race. Newsmax called the race early and other well-respected political analysts also called...
If you've been following the news at all, you're probably aware that today is the election day for one of the most high-profile elections of the year in the country. The election is for the governor of Virginia--a thoroughly blue state--which actually has the...

The Protestant Reformation split the Western Christian Church into Protestant and Roman Catholic branches in the 16th century. It was driven by a desire for religious reform, objections to the pope's power and role, and the sale of indulgences, which allowed people to...
It is a travesty that many so-called "professors of Christ" have turned Jesus into an idol, using Him as a tool to fulfill their own selfish desires. This type of false teaching is especially prevalent in charismatic circles, where God is treated as a genie in a...
