This is the first in a series of articles I intend to publish involving the snares, or the enticing traps, that modern Christians face. In this first article, I will be covering three of them. But the driving focus of all of them will be that we must rely solely on...
The snare of ecumenism among charismatic churches is increasing at an alarming rate. For several years, Hillsong Phoenix had been hosting the Alpha Conference, an ecumenical conference designed to tear down doctrinal divides between opposing apostate Christian...
You may remember several years ago when a highly popular pastor, Josh Harris, surprised the Christian world with his sudden apostasy as he divorced his wife and became an open activist for the LGBTQ community. Oh, you weren't surprised? Well, neither was I, and...
Whatever the fascination is among certain crowds with foul-mouthed celebrities and anti-Christ figures, it's a trend that has this nation in its grips. But worse, the trend has taken over the professing Church to such a degree that their filth is promoted in pulpits...
Here at The Dissenter, we have repeatedly hammered the undeniable fact that the contemporary Christian music industry is essentially a breeding ground for apostasy. We've covered numerous artists and bands that have fallen over the last several years. From one of...
A prominent LGBTQ activist that TGC relentlessly promotes is Rebecca McLaughlin. McLaughlin, herself, openly admits that she is romantically attracted to other women. During this presentation at The Gospel Coalition, she states,“I’ve been romantically attracted to...
I'm not legalistic when it comes to what you wear to church, even if you're a pastor. But there is a such thing as reverence, and there are some who go out of their way to be irreverent in how they present themselves to the Lord for worship. Take Pastor Scott...
I post this here as an example of exactly how NOT to advocate for life at an abortion clinic. As one who has spent many hours in front of abortion clinics preaching the gospel and pleading with mothers not to murder their children, I can readily admit that the...
If you can't trust a man to pastor his church according to the edicts of Scripture, how can you trust him to run the country if elected president? The answer? You can't. That's why I would suggest not voting for Ryan Binkley, co-pastor of the non-denominational Create...
Disclaimer: This is not a political article nor is it meant to make a political point. I do that from time to time, and seek to engage politics through a decidedly biblical worldview. That being said, politics can't be completely avoided here, but this article is...
In the midst of a progressive shift and growing divide within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), social justice has become the dividing line that some are not willing to cross and others are not willing to go without. The social justice movement in the SBC has...
I've never been a fan of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) or its movement. I really just don't care much for the personalities involved in it, particularly, Charlie Kirk. But there are a lot of churches—so-called conservative churches—that are embracing, promoting, and...
Today, the glittering facades of prosperity and self-interest have largely shrouded the sacred reverence and humble piety at the heart of Christianity. The Holy Scripture is often misinterpreted and misused to serve the interests of man rather than glorify the...
The winds of modern thought have blown into the halls of the Church, stirring up a novel perspective that now echoes loudly from the pulpit to the pews. The perception that doubt is a beneficial, even necessary, component of faith has started to hold sway. This novel...
In a recent conversation with Jim Davis at The Gospel Coalition, Pastor of McLean Bible Church in the DC area, David Platt offered his assessment of the political tensions within the American Church that warrants a biblical critique. Platt attempted to identify an...

In yet another alarming display of the complete implosion of public education, Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista, California, has become the latest example of why parents must abandon these so-called schools—better described as ideological grooming centers—once...
A transforming Christ-meets-mecha toy? Yes, the “Jesus Mecha Christ” transforming toy actually exists. It's like someone sat down and said, “How can I mock both God and basic decency in one fell swoop?” This isn’t art or satire—it’s an abomination born from the unholy...
Previously, I wrote an article calling for discernment while scrutinizing the lyrics of the popular Christmas song, Mary Did You Know? I knew it would be a provocative piece, as it was meant to be. However, my intent was not to dissuade you from enjoying these tunes,...
The Christmas season has a way of draping everything in nostalgia. Familiar carols, the warm glow of lights, and the cozy rituals of family traditions tend to stir something deep within us. But more often than not, I hear a song that makes me stop and think—sometimes...
