Is it all in good fun, or is there a more sinister motive behind the release of Disney's new Hocus Pocus Spell Book? According to the book's cover, it is "A Guide to Spells, Potions, and Hexes for the Aspiring Salem Witch." Of course, one could argue that it's all...

I hear a lot of tripe today from leftists who complain that conservatives believe in a "Republican Jesus" or something absurdly insane like that. The argument is that the "Republican Jesus" is xenophobic, sexist, racist, and homophobic—or some combination of these...
Over the years, we’ve written a number of articles on the increasingly affirming and ecumenical Max Lucado. Previously, we described Lucado as “fairly orthodox though not without problems,” however, in his neverending slide toward total apostasy, Lucado continues to...

By now, anyone who believes the United Methodist denomination is not of Satan is foolish, at best, and quite possibly anti-Christ. The United Methodist Church (UMC) has repeatedly and continually dropped the ball, accepting sexual perversion, ordaining homosexuals and...
The prosperity gospel is far more nefarious than just believing that God will grant you health and wealth if you have enough faith. The prosperity gospel is a wholly paganized counterfeit Christianity that is steeped in the idolatry of self and greed. With that comes...
Karen Swallow Prior is a college professor who for 21 years taught English at Liberty University — a Christian school with ties to the Southern Baptist Convention. Though Liberty was not officially an entity of the SBC, Karen Swallow Prior has been on unpaid staff as...
Bethel School of Prophets is run by Bethel Church in Redding California under the leadership of its two named "Apostles," Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton. Bethel, like all cults, is filled with aberrant, unbiblical teachings and doctrines of demons, including false...
Joel Osteen, a false teacher and fake pastor, is most definitely a cult leader. The followers of Joel Osteen’s ministry do not follow Christ, they follow the man and they are in it for no other reason than to hear the man tickle their ears with his motivational pep...
Disclaimer: This should not be construed as a blanket endorsement of Kanye West nor does this represent that we are unquestioningly affirmative of his conversion to Christianity as genuine. There is much that we've pointed out in Kanye's newfound "walk with Christ"...
The 2022 Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) Annual Meeting resulted in a blow to conservatives in a roughly 60-40 vote for the presidential office for Bart Barber against his conservative opponent, Tom Ascol. As we’ve been documenting, the Southern Baptist...

Stacey Abrams, who should now be labeled Georgia's traveling televangelist to underprivileged churches around the state, definitely thinks highly of herself. The left constantly accuses conservatives of embracing what they’re calling “White Christian Nationalism.”...
If it isn't one thing, it's another. In 2020, we brought you the story that Disney would be featuring two “gay dads” in a reboot of its popular cartoon series, Duck Tales along with another popular kids' show on the taxpayer-funded PBS, Arthur,...
What passes as a "pastor" in today's modern American professing Church is actually quite shocking. The biggest arguments of the historic professing church throughout the centuries used to be about things like the denial of the deity of Christ or a heretical view of...
Duke Kwon is a TGC author and is the lead pastor of the uber-woke Grace Meridian Hill, a PCA congregation in the GraceDC Network in Washington, D.C. He is a contributing author of Heal Us, Emmanuel: A Call for Racial Reconciliation, Representation,...
Notorious Word of Faith heretic, Joel Osteen has a new book he wants you to know about. It's called Your Greater is Coming. We're not sure if this is the sequel to his best-selling heresy Your Best Life Now or if it's a new work altogether, but one thing is for sure:...
This week, the National Association of Evangelicals held a conference called Flourish which touts itself as "a space to have hard conversations on the toughest issues facing the Church today," according to its website. "At Flourish, they will be equipped to foster...
When your entire livelihood is built on purposely creating an atmosphere to propagate a lie like White Supremacy, then one must resort to lies, fables, and hoaxes in order to secure their futures. This is why people like Jussie Smollet and his Evangelical counterpart,...
Earlier this week Maverick City Music star Dante Bowe released a public statement apologizing for his behavior after he was released by the group for “behavior that is inconsistent with our core values and beliefs.” In the statement, Bowe said: “I sincerely...
How often do you judge others? Seldom? Frequently? Daily? Never? How well do you know those whom you judge? Public figures? Friends? Family? What criteria do you use in your judgments? Personal experience? Factual information? Opinion? We make direct, personal...
In Christian apologetics, we have a term that we use to describe how we ground our knowledge and reasoning in objective truth. That term is epistemology. Simply stated, epistemology is the study of how beliefs are justified. I don't intend to take a deep nosedive into...

I don’t want to write this but I must. And since everything seems to be racist, it will be considered racist by the racists. Informed, honest people know this truth—most leading civil rights leaders, black and white, are hypocrites. They use “civil rights”...
By now, you're probably aware that the Chinese-controlled Canadian government has been harassing a small church in Alberta over the church's insistence on practicing their religious right and duty to meet together for regular worship. After jailing GraceLife Church's...

It's no secret that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) controls much of the world's governments either directly or by surrogacy. Either way, Communism and anti-Christian, anti-freedom sentiment has made its way into most of the world and the Chinese leadership loves...

In this day and age, nothing should surprise anyone anymore. While Romans 1 gives us a description of the state of the world in that day, it is also a description for the vast falling away we see in our society today. We live in a Romans 1 world--and it's getting...
New security footage that was released in court today in the George Floyd murder trial of Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin shows what appears to be George Floyd high and acting erratically as he attempts to hand counterfeit money to the store clerk.

One of the biggest debates in the public square is over the use of Critical Race Theory in our public institutions. The ideology has taken many forms but, in particular, it is designed as a tool to drive a wedge between diverse people groups within a population....
A Roman Catholic Church decided to call the police to forcibly remove a woman, Dierdre Hairston, who wasn't wearing a mask during Catholic Mass at Holy Trinity Church in Dallas, TX. While we're facing an unprecedented assault on our freedoms in America--mostly from...
"White guilt," you've heard of it. You've read it in the headlines. And you may know people who suffer from it. But what is it? Is it a mental disorder? Is it some other kind of ailment? Or is it sin? The term "white guilt" is far from innocuous—it is a calculated...
During Donald his first round as president, Donald Trump surprised many of us by taking stronger than expected conservative stances on many issues, including abortion. During his presidency, he selected Supreme Court justices that ultimately overturned Roe v. Wade,...
In Part XIV of our series on the Snares of the Modern Church, we're pulling the curtains back on perhaps the most dangerous trap of all: spiritual complacency. This deceptive entrapment is particularly sinister because it's not always glaringly obvious—it creeps in...
David Hughes, the president and CEO of C̶h̶u̶r̶c̶h̶ Goat Farm by the Glades in Coral Springs, Florida, has successfully turned the organization into a highly profitable carnival act. Rather than providing spiritual sustenance through the gospel, Hughes is preoccupied...

In the contemporary American pro-life movement, there's an elephant in the room that's too significant to ignore yet astonishingly remains largely unaddressed. The urgent question beckoning from the shadows is this: Does the pro-life movement genuinely resonate with...
A coalition of regional Baptist Executive Directors across several states has sent a strongly-worded petition to the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The letter raises serious concerns about the North American Mission Board (NAMB) and its...
Nashville, TN - September 13, 2023 — In a unanimous but unsurprising decision that marks a significant turning point for the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), Kevin Smith, former vice chair of the board, has now been elected as the new chairperson of the Ethics and...
When we take a look at biblical history, we find a pattern of worship that couldn't be more distant from what we see in most modern churches today. Ancient Israel, a people set apart by God, given was meticulous laws and guidelines on how to worship the Creator of...
Greg Locke is a wild, wild dude. I've watched him over the years move from a relatively sane, conservative low-key pastor to something that is completely off the rails over a period of about ten years. Prior to his divorce, Locke was a fairly conservative, but a...
When I first saw the trailer to this upcoming series, I thought it was a parody. I thought it was going to be some kind of satirical sitcom making fun of “ex-vangelicals” who have deconstructed into complete apostasy. The fact of the matter, though, is that this is...

Since Russell Moore departed the Southern Baptist Convention earlier this year, he has been on an inevitable slide toward complete and total apostasy. While some of us have been sounding the alarm against Moore since he took office at the Southern Baptist Convention's...
It's understandable that there are certain situations where homeschooling simply isn't possible. And in a society that places demands on families that require children to be educated according to certain standards set by the state, often, Christian parents find...
It's not okay for conservatives to do this, but it's perfectly fine if leftist "churches" endorse candidates and instruct their congregation to vote for them specifically from the pulpit because, well, social justice and stuff. As moderate leftist leg-crossing...
The Gospel Coalition continues to set itself up as the authority on civil political engagement within the Church. Every election cycle as we approach election day, The Gospel Coalition begins its "nuanced" approach to politics and tries to make the case that...
Jemar Tisby is one of the leading agitators of the modern racial division in Evangelical churches in America. He regularly incites hatred and division between blacks and whites by indicting all white people with the inherent guilt of former white American slave owners...
Phil Vischer, who is best known for creating the Christian-themed-but-filled-with-bad-doctrine children’s cartoon series, Veggie Tales, has made a new name for himself among the rising Evangelical Beast of Revelation known as the Woke Church. Vischer, who wonders if...
A major NYC Episcopal church, Cathedral of St. John the Divine, held its annual "Blessing of the Animals" for the first time since COVID-19 this weekend. In this ridiculous stunt, the members bring in their pets to partake in communion with them. Like, I don't even...
A few years ago, I thought a racist was a person—black, white, or polka dot—who disliked someone of another race because they were of another race. Of course, that’s hardly their fault. However, from the major media, it seems I have been wrong all along. It seems...
Shawn Bolz is the founder and former senior pastor of Expression58 Church and is now the CEO of Bolz Ministries. Bolz is closely tied to Bethel Church in Redding California, a hyper-charismatic, New Apostolic Reformation church that is known for its music and its...
The world has gone completely insane and the vast majority of the Christian Church has silently stood by as we watch it happen. The transgender movement is so far outside the bounds of reality that it's almost impossible to even speak to. But we must. As the left...
I have written before about abortion as a modern revival of Molech worship, and of its promotion by apostate clergy, but now I want to speak of its eternal consequences, both by the women who have an abortion and for those, clergy or...
I've repeatedly argued that those who would immerse themselves into any worldview that allows them to vote for the Democrat party are living and acting completely contrary to a biblical worldview. One cannot be so deceived as to believe that voting for the filth that...
Brandan Robertson has been in the headlines quite a bit in the last year or so as he is an openly gay, self-described “pastor” who opposed traditional, biblical theology while installing himself as a biblical scholar and theologian. Robertson is an advocate...
Kat Kerr, the pink-haired self-described “prophetess” has said some pretty bizarre things. This woman, who says she has visited Heaven thousands of times and retells her stories of people that she’s seen in Heaven and places that she’s visited, appears to be suffering...
First of all, I don't care what color your skin is. If you vote for the Democrat party today with its current platform, there is no way you can be considered a faithful, Bible-believing Christian. The argument goes: God isn’t a Democrat or a Republican, Christianity...
The "same-sex-attracted" gaggle of self-described eunuchs of Evangelicism have created an entirely new religion that revolves around their aberrant sexual desires. Most of these men and women come out of The Gospel Coalition's push to normalize same-sex desires and...
Conservative Southern Baptist pastor and trustee of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Tom Rush, says that when he attended the seminary during the '80s, there was a huge disconnect between what was being taught in the churches and what was going on at the...
A new film has been released dealing with Hunter Biden’s misadventures in parts of the world where he and his father-president almost broke their backs carrying away baskets-full of cash. Newsweek reported that the film made “accusations of criminal activity against...
Last week, we reported that California’s far-left Democratic governor, Gavin Newsome, is putting up billboard signs in conservative states calling his state an abortion sanctuary and telling anyone who is seeking an abortion that they can come to California to get...
Probably the only thing George W. Bush ever said that I could agree with is that "we don't negotiate with terrorists." The statement, in and of itself, is a blanketly true statement that at the time was directed toward Islamic extremists causing terror around the...
In this episode, I rant about the Christian Franchise. Modern Christianity has adopted the franchise model in the 20th and 21st centuries. The Christian Franchise’s top service is affirmation. Everything she says and does is geared toward affirming people in the...
You may be aware by now of the scandal surrounding former Southwestern Seminary president, Adam Greenway and his forced resignation on the premise of incompetency. Greenway was slated to leave Southwestern and take a newly-created role at the International Mission...
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands... —Revelation 7:9...
While Southern Baptist leaders like JD Greear are going around urging people to use the "preferred pronouns" of people who identify as the opposite sex all in the name of "pronoun hospitality," many of us were warning that the capitulation to such nonsense would only...
