Picture this, a quaint Mennonite church, where one might expect sermons on humility, simplicity, and the steadfastness of God. Instead, we’re treated to a peculiar display—a ladypastrix, adorned with a rainbow bracelet, sitting cross-legged in front of a group of...
If there was ever a guy who sold his soul for money and fortune, it’s Jesse Duplantis. This clown is a walking, talking, prosperity-gospel charlatan of the highest order, and every time he opens his mouth, some new heresy rolls out. In one of his latest sermon clip is...
Dear Effeminate Pastor, You stand on a stage, not a pulpit. Beneath theatrical lights, not the burning fire of truth. Draped in pastel rebellion and accessorized like a department store mannequin on discount, you glide across the platform like a self-help seminar host...
In Part I of this series, we traced the roots of the modern sexual revolution, showing how it has marched steadily from fornication to pride parades and beyond, fueled by cultural apathy and theological cowardice. In Part II, we exposed the metastasizing nature of...
Karl Marx was not just some economist scribbling theories in obscurity who happened to have a stroke of luck in becoming a household name—he was the architect of a worldview that treats envy as virtue, revolution as redemption, and the State as god. What began in the...
Let them go. Really, let them. If your spiritual appetite can be satisfied by the incense-choked pageantry of Rome—by genuflecting before a golden cage of transubstantiated flour—then it was never Christ that you hungered for to begin with. If you're willing to trade...
At The Gospel Coalition’s recent conference—an event already bursting with enough theological cotton candy to induce a diabetic coma—David Platt took the stage and, with trembling sincerity, unleashed a tale so drenched in mystical melodrama it could have been...
Somewhere between the Jedi Council and the United Church of Christ, a black hole has opened, sucking sound doctrine into a swirling void of cosplay theology, syncretistic gobbledygook, and racialized virtue signals wrapped in rice paper. It is here, at the unholy...
In a Nebraska courtroom, justice was finally dispensed—but not in the way most would assume. Chloe Coplen-Anderson, now 18, was sentenced to 35 to 60 years in prison after being convicted of slitting her newborn son’s throat shortly after giving birth in her bedroom....
At long last, the velvet-tongued emperor of Christian celebrity culture, Bishop T.D. Jakes, has announced his exit from the pulpit of The Potter’s House—the crumbling empire he built atop the rotting carcass of the Word of Faith movement and anti-Trinitarian heresy....
In Houston, Texas, a storm has been brewing beneath the gleaming surface of one of America’s largest megachurches—Second Baptist Church. With more than 90,000 members scattered across multiple campuses and an empire reportedly worth over a billion dollars, Second...
Levi Lusko has built a reputation as the quintessential hip, modern megachurch pastor—tattoos, trendy sneakers, polished storytelling, and a high-production platform that attracts the crowds and flatters the culture. But beneath the fashionable exterior and charming...
A YouTube channel calling itself “JOHN MACARTHUR WORLD” is currently drawing hundreds of thousands of views by producing and promoting videos that are not only misleading, but outright deceptive. These videos are presented as if they contain teachings from Pastor John...
He walks onto the stage with a flawless smile and a perfectly-timed pause. The lights dim, the audience leans in, and for thirty minutes, the man speaks with the cadence of a TED Talker and the certainty of a Silicon Valley mogul pitching salvation like a subscription...
When the news broke that Pope Francis had died, Christianity Today responded in the only way it knows how: with an incense-scented eulogy that doubled as a love letter to ecumenical confusion. The article, penned by Franco Iacomini, bore the...
Somewhere between the archeological dust of Jerusalem and the theological smog of Gordon College, a man named Jeffrey P. Arroyo Garcia stumbled onto a theory so feeble, it could barely support the weight of a soggy Sunday school flannelgraph, let alone the entire...
The pontiff is dead. And no, the bells aren’t ringing in triumph—they’re tolling like a funeral dirge for a man whose soul now quakes before the throne of Almighty God. Pope Francis—Rome’s darling, the media’s mascot, the Church of Nice’s poster boy—is gone. And what...
It begins like all state-level poison does—with a bill number, an innocuous title, and a room full of politicians mugging for the cameras while pretending to care. Massachusetts House Bill 5033, draped in the glittering vestments of "healthcare reform," tiptoed its...
Colorado, ever the progressive petri dish of experimental governance, has once again declared its disdain for Christian convictions—this time by officially categorizing biblical parenting as a form of abuse. House Bill 25-1312, which I wrote about earlier this month,...
Amazingly, in the broad field of journalism and opining, there are people so self-satisfied, so enamored with their own perceived cleverness, that you can almost hear them sniggering while typing out their next piece. Andy Olsen's "Invasion Theology," published in...
There was a time—believe it or not—when television served some modest purpose beyond rotting the minds of its audience into room-temperature gelatin. There was a time when entertainment required talent. When it at least pretended to nod toward decency. When people...
In an age where most political leaders opt for soft-focus platitudes about “faith traditions” and “spiritual journeys,” the Trump White House just dropped a Holy Week statement that reads more like a Sunday sermon than a sanitized press release. And frankly, it's a...
There it is, in black and white. Thirteen ethnic fellowships within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) have officially declared what many of us have been saying all along. When it comes to our nation’s borders, they think enforcement is mean, deportation is cruel,...
Good riddance! There, I said it. NewSpring Church has officially joined the ranks of spiritual circus tents that have packed up and left the Southern Baptist Convention, and frankly, the SBC should be sending them a thank-you note, not a love letter. Cue the anguished...

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...
Steve Gaines during an impassioned speech this morning from the pulpit of Bellevue Baptist Church said that God told him and his wife, Donna, 41 years ago that he would some day be an itinerant preacher, and that he and his wife now agree that this is the time. In...
Yesterday, Trinity Bible Church of Dallas announced that lead pastor Steven J. Lawson had been removed from ministry due to an inappropriate relationship. Today, OnePassion Ministries released a statement confirming Lawson's confession and resignation from his roles,...

Trinity Bible Church of Dallas has announced the removal of lead pastor Steven J. Lawson from all ministry responsibilities following revelations of an inappropriate relationship with an unnamed woman. Lawson, known for his expository preaching and as the founder of...
Pastor Justin Walker of Salt and Light Baptist Church in La Grange, Kentucky, has opened a tuition-free school after a disturbing experience at a local public library. The incident occurred when Pastor Walker, who was trying to find books for his 11-year-old daughter,...
Our favorite pink-haired prophetess, Kat Kerr, has recently graced us with her theological wisdom once again. This time, she wants us to believe that after the fall, God took away animals' ability to speak so they wouldn't sin.Apparently, God was so worried about...
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...
According to reports, former President Jimmy Carter is approaching the end of his life, as shared by his grandson Jason Carter at the 28th Rosalynn Carter Georgia Mental Health Forum. Jason provided an update on the 99-year-old former president, who has been in...

In one of the most ominous displays of the Biden administration's hostility toward pro-life advocates, Lauren Handy, a courageous anti-abortion activist, has been sentenced to nearly five years in prison for protesting at the Washington Surgi-Clinic in D.C. On October...
Coming to an American city near you: an unpaid volunteer officer in the UK tells a citizen that they are not allowed to sing church songs outside of the church grounds unless authorized by the church to do so.The motherland, Great Britain, was once a thriving Western...
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...
Rebecca Todd, a "Presbyterian" "pastor" who is most notable for preaching a pro-abortion sermon wearing a Planned Parenthood stole celebrating her own abortions, recently preached a sermon complaining that some nurses attempt to save the lives of babies who survive a...
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...
In a recent episode of the Premier Unbelievable podcast, theologian N.T. Wright was handed a golden opportunity to make clear the exclusivity of salvation through Jesus Christ. Instead, he picked it up like a wet sponge, flung it at the wall, and watched it slide down...
There’s really no way to whitewash this—the radical left has declared war on us. Not a metaphorical war, not just a battle of ideas ungraciously waged in op-eds at the NYT or WaPo, but a war with literal, physical casualties. And we just saw this with the...
There’s a sickness, or possibly a judgment, in the house of God, and no polite resolution or committee report is going to fix it. It’s the kind of sickness that made prophets tear their clothes and cry out at the city gates. The kind that takes the murder of a man and...
This past Sunday, Pastor Frederick D. Haynes took the pulpit to address the murder of Charlie Kirk. And what came out of his mouth was a masterclass in double-speak: “We ain't got nothing to do with what they just did. A white Christian gets killed, murdered, not...
Charlie Kirk’s life was cut short on September 10, when a far-left, Antifa-aligned radical walked into a university event and gunned him down in cold blood. It was an assassination, not an accident. A man was killed for speaking truth to the cultural rot in one of the...
They say all roads lead to Rome—and apparently, one of them is now a rainbow-paved freeway from Hell. This weekend, that road ended at St. Peter’s Basilica, where the world’s most famous cathedral became a parade ground. The pictures tell the story better than the...
I can’t shake the feeling that every time I open Christianity Today, or Christianity Astray, I’m not reading Christian journalism—I’m reading a liturgy for the world. It’s like they’re holding a perpetual worship service where the saints are chosen not by God’s...
Let us not mince words. In the grand theater of policy, we speak of '=', 'justice.' But when justice abandons her post, the innocent bleed—literally, as in the case of an unthinkable, fatal train attack in Charlotte. A repeat offender—armed with fourteen prior...
I saw this tweet by William Wolfe and Charlie Kirk this morning—Wolfe tagging Trevin Wax, demanding to know why he was quick to comment on George Floyd but has nothing to say about Iryna Zarutska. If you’re not aware, Zarutska was a white Ukrainian woman, a refugee of...
There, I said it. In the title of this article. That isn’t hyperbole, it’s the only explanation left after watching how this machine churns. Hillsong sold itself as a worship powerhouse while its leadership gorged on money laundering, tax evasion, and lavish “gifts”...
It’s one thing when a false teacher twists the Scriptures out of context. But it’s a completely different ballgame when he does us the courtesy of implicating himself with his own words by simply admitting the truth outright—that the people he claims that hel loves...
An article at Patheos came across my radar recently that piqued my interest. It’s peddling the tired old Roman Catholic view of “invincible ignorance”, or the idea that maybe atheists can slip into heaven if they just don’t “know better.” It’s not nuance, it’s...

Where better than in the streets of Harlem, New York City, could a scene unfold that so plainly illustrates the true face of the pro-abortion movement—a face contorted with rage, intolerance, and, ultimately, violence. Savannah Craven, a pro-life activist associated...
In the small town of Orangeburg, South Carolina, Pastor JP Sibley of New City Fellowship has carved out a platform for himself not as a diehard exegete of the Scriptures, but as a drooling mouthpiece for progressive social dogma. With a Bible in one hand and a DEI...
One of the most tyrannical pieces of legislation in American history isn’t coming from Washington, D.C. It isn’t being shoved down our throats by some bloated federal agency. No, the epicenter of this legislative grotesquerie is none other than Colorado, where the...
The latest findings from the Cultural Research Center’s American Worldview Inventory 2025 just dropped, and it’s a theological gut-punch to anyone who assumes that modern America still has even a passing acquaintance with biblical Christianity. Spoiler: it doesn’t....
It’s the darling phrase of modern Evangelicalism—trotted out with breathless solemnity every time someone dares to speak a hard truth too plainly: “We must speak the truth in love.” Four little words. A verse fragment. A harmless butterfly of a phrase that, somewhere...
I just read an “explainer” article by the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) published in the Christian Index, and to no one's surprise, it’s exactly what we’ve come to expect from the Southern Baptist Convention’s well-funded public relations...
Editor’s Note: The following article was submitted by a reader and is shared here in its entirety, exactly as it was received. It is a deeply personal testimony that engages candidly and biblically with a topic often clouded by confusion. While the views expressed are...
I ran across a tweet the other day that lodged itself in my mind like a thorn. It was from Genevieve Gluck, a name that occasionally floats across the radar of gender-critical feminism, usually sounding some kind of alarm about the degradation of womanhood at the...
I ran across a tweet by Elon Musk this morning that got me thinking—a rare moment of clarity slicing through the pious fog of evangelical open-borderism. It showed a crowd of South African leftists—dressed in their standard-issue revolutionary cosplay—chanting in...
It started, as these things often do, with a simple question. A seemingly nice lady on Twitter—yet a representative of the typical emotionally charged illogical reasoning of the mainstream pro-life movement—wanted to know how I think my church should handle a woman in...
While we here at The Dissenter along with other discernment ministries have been sounding the alarm on her for some time, any False Teacher of the Day series would be woefully incomplete without a full expose on “Apostle” Kathryn Krick. After all, this self-styled...
It was a quiet Sunday in Coleraine, Northern Ireland. Pastor Clive Johnston, a 76-year-old retired Baptist minister, stood on a patch of grass across a dual carriageway from Causeway Hospital, leading a handful of Christians in a simple act of worship. There were no...
Imagine for a moment that, and I know this is very unlikely. But imagine that you took the advice of the “urban mandate” hypocrites. You know, the ones, like Tim Keller, who live(d) in high-security condos, gated communities, etc. who are always lecturing us about how...
Every year, as March 17th rolls around, we're smothered beneath an avalanche of green—green beer, green shamrocks, green everything—as if someone accidentally detonated a giant Leprechaun-themed confetti bomb. Amid this nauseating sea of verdant monotony, a dissenting...
The Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) has officially completed its transformation from a nominally Christian denomination into yet another rubber-stamping committee for the moral revolution. With its latest amendment, enshrining LGBTQIAP+ identities into its Constitution,...
They arrive in droves, packed in by the thousands, many having traveled under conditions so wretched they barely survived the journey. They were promised a better life, a new future, a land where they could finally be free. Instead, they are greeted with exploitation,...
Wheaton College’s slow-motion descent into theological surrender is a tragedy, but not a surprising one. For years, the once-proud evangelical institution has been prostituting its doctrinal backbone for a seat at the table of cultural relevance. And what do they have...
Another day, another instance of radical leftist violence being swept under the rug by the mainstream media. In San Francisco, a street preacher proclaiming the biblical truth that God made men to be men and women to be women was met not with debate or discussion—but...
The state of Washington has just won a major legal battle forcing churches to subsidize the slaughter of unborn children. That’s not hyperbole—that’s exactly what happened. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Cedar Park Assembly of God, a church in...
Over the last couple of years, Kat Von D’s so-called "conversion" has been making waves, but let’s not get carried away in the tide of celebrity spectacle. Once the queen of the occult tattoo subculture, she now parades her newfound "Christianity" like a Hollywood...
A group of progressive clergy and rainbow-splattered religious activists have hijacked the already unbiblical celebration of “Lent” to push a blatantly leftist political agenda, a thinly veiled leftist activist manifesto framed as a "return to Jesus." The document,...
I’ve been watching a story unfold that should be front-page news worldwide but has instead been met with a deafening silence. In Syria's coastal region, over 1,000 people, including hundreds of Christians, were brutally massacred in just 48 hours by Al Qaeda-linked...
The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), the Southern Baptist Convention’s long-decayed organ of political engagement, has spent the last decade or more morphing itself into a fetid hotbed of the woke mind virus defending progressive ideology. This...
Every year, like clockwork, Ash Wednesday rolls around and kicks off the Roman Catholic tradition of Lent—a six-week-long spectacle of public piety where everyone puts on their best "mourning over sin" performance. And, of course, it’s not just the Catholics anymore....
