Christians cannot take that good impulse and then baptize an ecumenical mess where Protestants, Rome, hyper-charismatic prophets-for-profit, Jews, and whatever other religious representatives happen to be available all join hands as though we are praying to the same God through the same mediator with the same gospel. We are not. ~ The Dissenter
I’m taking a well-deserved victory lap here. In 2010, I alerted my readers that NAR wolves were infiltrating what was then known as the Religious Right. The scent of a wolf is easy to detect, even when you’re not sniffing around. I was not. Yet there they were, roaming around the grounds of the White House and scratching at the back door, hoping that someone from the kitchen staff would open it and whisk them inside.
Wolves Are Inside The House!
I’ll begin this piece with a warning: There is a war going on in America that you may not have heard about. No, not a war with a Middle Eastern enemy. The conflict is between two opposing factions of what has been dubbed Christian Nationalism. It’s a long story—too lengthy to explain here–so for now I’ll whittle it down to a single issue: ecumenism.
In short, ecumenism is “achieving universal church unity,” the goal being to set aside differences of which there are many and promote unity among the world’s Christian churches. According to GotQuestions.com:
Ecumenism can also be defined more broadly: “a movement that promotes worldwide unity among all religions through greater cooperation.” For example, a Catholic priest may invite a Muslim imam to speak in his pulpit, or a church may get together with a Hindu temple to hold a joint prayer service. Defined this way, ecumenism is definitely wrong. We are not to be “yoked together with unbelievers” (2 Corinthians 6:14; see also Galatians 1:6–9). Light and darkness have no fellowship with each other.

“This gives false teachers like Kathryn Krick enormous power. They supposedly have the spiritual gift to locate and detect these invisible spirits, communicate directly to them, revoke their “legal rights,” and pronounce the victim free. But if the problem continues, which it always does, the victim returns for another session rather than questioning the false teaching.”
17 And as He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and began asking Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Mark 10:17 (LSB)
“The truth of it is, the entire movement was demonic. The youth did drop out, of society, of college, from families. They wandered, spiritually and physically, into new realms. Realms of depravity such as experimenting with homosexuality and lesbianism. Realms of mind-altering drugs. Realms of different living situations such as polygamy or ‘free love’ communes.”
“The pursuit of happiness will not be enhanced by a vengeful political movement which wants to regulate how we live and what we are allowed to have. That’s a totalitarian point of view. Adolf, Joe Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh all tried it as they blood-soaked their countries.”
“The COVID-19 pandemic feels like a fever dream now. Six years later, it’s almost impossible to believe any of it actually happened: the lockdowns, the shuttered schools, the toilet paper craze, the stupid barriers at supermarkets, the masked toddlers, and the businesses destroyed overnight.”
“While the Arc Institute researchers took strict safety measures, watchdogs warn the core technology opens the door to danger. If an AI can master whole-genome design to construct bacteria-killers, it could be only a matter of time before high-tech bad actors attempt to prompt similar language models to invent hyper-lethal, highly transmissible human plagues.”
“If leadership believed TPT was a faithful rendering of the Word of God, they would defend it. If they believed Simmons was exposed as a fraud, they would renounce it. Instead, they chose the third way beloved by every compromised institution under heat: delay, reframe, and hope the news cycle moves.“
“[Tucker] and the MAGA rebels who met on his estate in Maine over the weekend seem eager to split the Republicans. They have no chance whatsoever of electing anyone on a third-party ballot line. So the effect on the U.S. will be to elect more Democrats to Congress.”

“Following the collapse of vaccine mandates in early 2022, a rapid memory-holing of the entire fiasco took effect. Unfortunately, many Christian leaders who have had ample time to repent of closing their churches, going along with senseless lockdowns, and pushing the vaccine on their congregants have also been noticeably quiet in the years since.”
“National Popular Vote Interstate Compact says that regardless of who wins the presidential vote in their respective states, they will only give their electors to the one who wins the national popular vote. Talk about disenfranchisement of voters and a threat to our representative democracy.”
