Especially Disney. And there’s a good reason. The entire entertainment industry has departed from its seemingly harmless mission of turning us into couch potatoes and making us laugh.

The kind where you’ve been standing on the train tracks for years, waving both arms, shouting that the light in the distance isn’t the sunrise, it’s a locomotive—and then one day you hear the impact and everybody else finally looks […]

He claimed “over 100 veterans and law enforcement gave their lives to Jesus” in Trump’s ballroom, complete with healings, deliverance, and flag-waving fervor. Now, God can do as He pleases.

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” hidden from view. Brian Houston, the CEO, was caught up in scandal […]

Anyone can stroll in, grab what they want, and stroll back out. Hang all the flags you want, blast the national anthem on repeat, but if the gates are open and there’s no one at the checkpoint, it’s not your country […]

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 tulips of cultural relevance, MacArthur thundered across the […]

I pointed out how artists chase chart ranks, fame, social media clout—and lose the weightier matters: God’s truth, Christ’s exclusivity, the cross. I had mentioned Lauren Daigle and Lecrae as case studies, […]

These were not hospitals. These were temples—shrines of mysticism where hope and illusion walked hand in hand.
