I don’t know exactly when it happens or what it looks like in practical, tangible detail. But what I do know is this: Psalm 2 is not poetry for the sake of art. It is a declaration of divine mockery—a promise that when the world raises its collective fist against God,...
Charismania is a traveling circus where the tent never folds, the clowns never scrub off their greasepaint, and the ticket price keeps climbing while the performance rots from the inside out. Every season the ringmaster trips over his own whip, the spotlight catches...
Crayola has now unleashed upon the world a set of crayons so dripping with self-importance it practically begs to be mocked. It’s basically a cultural manifesto in wax form..a new children’s catechism into the church of diversity, complete with its hollow liturgy of...
The Hollywood Bowl has never been shy about mocking God, but this summer it outdid itself. Jesus Christ Superstar was dragged back onto the stage, only this time the crown was handed to Cynthia Erivo, a black lesbian actress who strutted as “Jesus,” while Adam Lambert...
After 169 years, Spurgeon’s College has shut its doors. The official reason given is financial strain, but let’s not act like we didn’t know this was coming. This wasn’t a spreadsheet accident. It was a self-inflicted wound, an institutional suicide stunt. And Rick...
Good riddance. That’s the only fitting response to the news that Brent Leatherwood has finally resigned from his post as president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. For years, Southern Baptists have been told to treat this bloated appendage of the...
Pastor Luke Ash lost his job at a public library in Louisiana for refusing to play pretend. That’s the story in its simplest, clearest form. He wouldn’t call a woman a man. He wouldn’t lie. And for that unpardonable sin against the Church of Woke Inclusivity, he was...
At this year’s Belfast Pride parade, a clown dressed as “Jesus”—mock crown of thorns and all—danced through the streets, high-fiving other sodomites while the crowd applauded. This is a clear act of deliberate blasphemy against God, yet, nobody batted an eye. Because...
The pictures of that child—they are almost too much to stomach. The poor kid is wide-eyed, bewildered, and smothered in counterfeit affection. These are not accidents of fate, they are the fruit of a poisoned tree. And the name of that tree is Obergefell v. Hodges....
The connections between Mormonism and Freemasonry are about as subtle as a neon sign in a pitch-black desert. Some people act like it’s some deep, conspiratorial discovery that Joseph Smith, the so-called “prophet,” borrowed heavily from the secret handshakes and...
In a scene that could easily double as a sketch from a late-night comedy show, a white pastor in a church-branded t-shirt strolls the sidewalks of Albany, posing, smiling wide, and handing out brand new Nikes to black kids like some corporate-funded Saint Nick. Not...
It takes a certain kind of brainpower to stumble headfirst into heresy while thinking you’ve just unlocked the deepest philosophical vault in heaven. But that’s exactly what William Lane Craig does with his recent theological gymnastics. Craig is so smart, he’s...
The image says it all. Wembley Way—that grand corridor of British pride leading up to the iconic Wembley Stadium—now draped not in the Union Jack, not in team colors, not even in neutral, celebratory decoration. No, the entire promenade has been lined, lockstep and in...
At a highly popular New Zealand megachurch, Grace Vineyard Church, Easter Sunday isn’t about the resurrection of Christ. It’s about choreography, costume robes, and turning the King of kings into a glorified boy band frontman. In a recent stunt, they performed a...
He was the last of a dying breed—a pastor who not only knew what he believed, but believed what he knew. John Fullerton MacArthur Jr., born in 1939, didn’t just walk into history; he stormed in like a theological tempest. While most pastors today tiptoe through the...
It wasn’t that long ago when the names Chip and Joanna Gaines conjured images of shiplap walls, farmhouse sinks, and a squeaky-clean, down-home Christian family just trying to “do life” together while remodeling your grandmother’s kitchen. They rose to fame as the...
From Caleb Lines’ latest sermon: Mary gets to choose and Mary chooses to carry the Messiah. Mary says, let it be in the story, which means that Mary is afforded a choice that so many people in our society today are no longer afforded. The biblical call is to increased...
I indulged myself in a few episodes of Ancient Aliens on YouTube over the weekend—not because I buy into it, but because I find it fascinating to see the great lengths people will go to try to make sense of our existence and the world we live in. Something I found...
Jimmy Swaggart, the once-celebrated televangelist whose legacy is as stained by scandal as it is by airwaves, has died at the age of 90. According to multiple reports, Swaggart passed away on July 1, 2025, following complications from cardiac arrest he suffered two...
In 2019, I wrote that the greased and lubed celebrity machinery of modern Christian music wasn’t just distracting—it was hijacking the very glory of God. I pointed out how artists chase chart ranks, fame, social media clout—and lose the weightier matters: God’s truth,...
Steven Furtick, the founder and lead "pastor" of Elevation Church, has become a household name among modern megachurch prosperity gospel frauds from Joel Osteen to T.D. Jakes to Carl Lentz. But beneath his polished exterior and motivational speeches lies a deeper...
As I peruse social media this morning, I can't help but notice the unmistakable fog of confusion, distortion, and outright delusion swirling around "Juneteenth." What was once a relatively obscure, regionally significant marker of emancipation has now been duct-taped...
In wild sermon illustration, pastor uses stick mask of Jonathan Roumie from The Chosen as a "Jesus," urging people to see their prayer life "through the ability of Jesus." https://twitter.com/i/status/1934974068811251992 In another sermon illustration, a pastor...
There was a time, not all that long ago, when even the most enthusiastic child sacrifice apologists would at least pretend to mourn the “need” for the right to murder their child. “Safe, legal, and rare,” they chanted in their tailored suits and sterilized sound...

Today is Columbus Day and once again, the leftist chorus is doing what they do best, rewriting history, twisting facts, and advancing their anti-American pet cause by calling this day "Indigenous People's Day." But before we let them get away with this brazen...
I honestly get tired of writing on this topic, but it’s such a pervasive evil in our world that it’s impossible to ignore. I read an article sent to me by one of my avid readers that sent chills down my spine. The article, published in the New York...
Kat Kerr, the self-proclaimed pink-haired prophetess, has made a career out of spouting outlandish claims that defy both logic and Scripture. Known for her wild tales, she insists that God commanded her to dye her hair pink to "stand out among the prophets."Kerr also...
As a father of four myself, I know firsthand how precious and vulnerable our children are—children truly are our future. God has entrusted us with the immense responsibility of raising, protecting, and preparing them for the real world. This isn’t just a suggestion or...
The roots of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) stretch deep into Marxist ideology. Born from the notion of class struggle, Marxism’s obsession with dividing society into oppressors and oppressed has evolved—now it's all about identity, diversity boxes, and...
Progressive “Christianity,” if you want to call it that, is nothing but a fraud—a shameless charade where self-appointed "pastors" like this Emily Bowen-Marler strut about in clerical garb, pretending to speak for a God they openly despise.In this sermon, she says...
As I watched the debate last night, a grim realization settled over me—this isn’t Kansas anymore. It’s more obvious now than ever before. Something feels off, something has changed. What we once knew, the life we cherished as kids, has slipped through our fingers....
I ran across an article today talking about Kenneth Copeland's massive wealth, and I started really thinking about it—the man's 86 years old. Kenneth Copeland's version of the “gospel” is a gross perversion of God grace. He has spent decades promoting a theology that...
The Lausanne Movement, founded in 1974, presents itself as a global evangelical network aimed at fulfilling the Great Commission. However, it has since evolved into a platform for globalist ideologies, aligning closely with organizations like the World Economic...
Ray Ortlund, the pastor of Immanuel Church in Nashville and a well-known contributor to The Gospel Coalition, has pulled off quite the act for years. He’s been quietly cultivating his “conservative” persona, preaching from a pulpit of orthodoxy while, in reality,...
The Revoice Conference is a coalition of “gay Christians” who collude annually to prop up their status as outspoken homosexuals and promote the gay agenda of full acceptance and inclusion in the ranks of churches in America. Led by gay activists such as Nate Collins...
by Jim FletcherThe death of a child has rightly been called soul-crushing. Whether a miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of an adult child, the parents are never quite the same. The tragedy usually lingers; it can also negatively impact a marriage. As has been said...
There’s a plague of false teachers infecting the church today, spreading like a virus through congregations, ministries, and movements around the world. They’re everywhere, and the damage they cause is immeasurable. And you’d be surprised at the amount of emails I...
The media in partnership with the pro-abortion lobby is at it again—twisting reality to paint 28-year-old Amber Thurman as yet another tragic victim of pro-life laws. If you’re unfamiliar with the story, Thurman chose to end the lives of her unborn twins after...
by Rob NelsenCarl Lentz, the former Hillsong pastor who fell from grace due to an affair, has reemerged with a podcast alongside his wife, Laura. Much like a phoenix rising—or perhaps more aptly, a Hydra that refuses to stay down, Lentz remains a fixture in the public...

Walk into almost any modern Evangelical church today, and you might be forgiven for wondering whether you've mistakenly stumbled into a concert hall, a corporate team-building event, or maybe even the set of a reality TV show. The flashing lights, slick branding, and...
The National Baptist Convention of America (NBCA) is one of the largest black religious organizations in the country, often hosting annual gatherings that draw prominent speakers. This year, Louisiana appeals court judge Sharon Wilson took the stage and delivered,...
What’s wrong with you people? R.C. Sproul asked this stinging question with the kind of directness that our culture so desperately needs today. While Sproul’s question was rooted in a theological context, it has become an icon in Christian circles for wondering out...
A few days ago, the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), for once, made a commendable decision that deserves our attention and applause. The PCA's Administrative Committee announced the cancellation of an assembly-wide panel discussion that was to feature left-wing...

In this age of moral relativism, where every wind of doctrine is blowing and the foundations of biblical truth are being vigorously attacked, the Church of God cannot afford to shrink back. The Word of God, unadulterated and absolute, stands as our guide and the voice...

Canada's recent legislative effort, Bill C-63, ostensibly aims to combat online harms, including what it defines as "hate speech." But let's face it, we know where this is going. As with all leftists, the end goal is to silence conservatives, especially Christians....
Even though we all know the Southern Baptist Convention is woke, it seems like every day we see another example of just how pervasive this evil is in these churches. Over the years, we've uncovered garbage from SBC pastors like David Platt, Matt Chandler, and many...
As ethics increasingly rely on cultural trends and the foundations of societal morality continue to tremble under the weight of "progress," an alarming trend has emerged within our federal government's approach to foster care—an agenda that now prioritizes the...
In the sobering words of 1 Corinthians 5:5, the Apostle Paul instructs the church to hand over unrepentant sinners to Satan "for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus." This truth reveals to us the gravity of...
Yesterday we reported that the U.S. House passed a bill that would challenge the freedom to express certain biblical truths regarding the Jews and their historical actions. The bill, known as the "Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023" (H.R. 6090), proposes to adopt a...
Scott Adams—yes, Scott Adams, the Dilbert creator—recently said something that has been circulating among Christians with a strange mix of hope and relief. It sounds like movement. It sounds like openness. It sounds like someone inching toward belief. But when you...
If you’ve spent any time paying attention to the agonizing death throes of liberal Anglicanism, it should come as no surprise that its latest brilliant idea to staunch the bleeding involves not just ignoring Scripture, but intentionally thumbing their noses at it....
First, it was Randolph County, NC. Now it’s Chesapeake, VA. And if you’re paying attention, a positive pattern appears to be emerging. A few weeks ago, a red-blooded North Carolina county had the intestinal fortitude to dissolve an unelected library board that refused...
At the stroke of midnight on January 1st, 2026—while most of the city was still sweeping up confetti and nursing a hangover—Zohran Mamdani was quietly sworn in as mayor of New York City. But not on a Bible. Not in front of the historic rotunda of City Hall. No, this...
Phil Vischer—the man who once gave the world talking vegetables and Sunday School singalongs—has now dedicated his platform to something far darker. He is now driving a wedge between Jesus Christ and God the Father. For those who haven’t been following Vischer’s...
It’s the week after Christmas, and Christ is still too inconvenient for some churches. This time, again, it’s J.D. Greear’s Summit Church—canceling Sunday worship just three days after celebrating the incarnation. Apparently, gathering to exalt the risen King clashes...
Somewhere, John Stott is doing cartwheels in his grave—and not the zip-line kind. If the modern church had a mascot, it wouldn’t be a lamb—it’d be a caped crusader on a harness, suspended mid-air like a Party City reject, flailing across the rafters in some desperate...
Charles Spurgeon once warned that when the church abandons reverence and doctrine, it eventually trades the pulpit for a stage—clowns entertaining goats. He meant it metaphorically, of course. He was talking about spectacle replacing substance, amusement displacing...
Remember a few years ago when the former CEO of Chick-fil-A quite literally prostrated himself in public before the rapper Lecrae? Shoes off. Head bowed. Cameras rolling. What was sold as “humility” was, in reality, something far more revealing. It was a moment when...

Have you ever heard of Camp IdRaHaJe? I haven’t either, until recently, and I know nothing about it, its theology, or its affiliations. But what’s going on at this little-known Christian camp is much bigger than the camp itself. Nestled in the pine-strewn hills of...
In a recent conversation with Lecrae, Francis Chan reached deep into the recesses of his self-awareness and pulled out something so bizarre, so stupefying, that even seasoned watchers of his descent into doctrinal oblivion had to pause and rewind. With a wistful,...
June is almost here, which means the corporate spasm of rainbow flag-waving is about to commence with all the subtlety of a Vegas drag show crashing a funeral. Pride Month, the holiest month in the calendar of Ba’al worship, is not content with simply your tolerance...

Delman Coates, the senior pastor of Mt. Ennon Baptist Church, recently delivered a sermon that could only be described as theological arson. Coates didn't just bend the truth—he violently assaulted it, dragged it into a dark alley, and left it bleeding. He essentially...
If our church members fall into the habit of frequenting the theatre, we shall soon have them going much further in the direction of vice, and they will lose all relish for the ways of God. If theatre-going became general among professing Christians, it would be the...
