False Teacher of the Day: Joseph Prince

(The Dissenter) At The Dissenter, we are committed to proclaiming the truth of God’s Word while dragging into the light the wolves who twist it to serve the devil’s agenda. Over the years, we’ve exposed a long procession of frauds—charlatans, grifters, heretics, and smooth-talking deceivers—men and women like Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, Steven Furtick, Beth Moore, T.D. Jakes, and many that you may not have ever even heard of, each one helping pave the broad road to destruction with a smile and a Scripture ripped out of context.

Today, we introduce number 64 on our ever-growing roster of deceivers: Joseph Prince. Continue reading

Coming Soon! 50% Tariff on the EU and 25% Tariff on Apple

(Mary Dowling) President Donald Trump has warned Apple that it will be hit with a 25% tariff if it does not start producing iPhones in the U.S.

In a post on his Truth Social platform Friday morning, Trump wrote he had “long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone’s that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else.”

“If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S.” Trump said. Continue reading

Here’s Hoping Trump Crushes the Intifada and Its Enablers in Academia

“Yes, the propagandists in the media all over the world have blood on their hands after this.”

(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) After years of being quick to blame conservative rhetoric for various acts of violence, the Democrats and other American leftists have suddenly gone quiet on the subject. Their claims over the years about conservative rhetoric were never remotely true, but the same cannot be said about what they’ve been condoning and the horrific murders of two Israeli embassy staffers on Wednesday night. Continue reading

The Handwriting on the Wall

5 Suddenly the fingers of a man’s hand came out and began writing opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace, and the king saw the back of the hand that did the writing. 6 Then the splendor of the king’s face changed, and his thoughts alarmed him, and his hip joints went slack, and his knees were knocking against each other. Daniel 5:5-6 (LSB)

God used Nebuchadnezzar to bring an end to the Judean kingdom. The kingdom of Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar was glorious. God blessed him and humbled him when he took credit for it all. After his death in October 562 BC, having reigned 43 years, he was succeeded by his son Amel-Marduk (or Evil-merodach 2 Kings 25:27-30)…. Continue reading

Coverup? Senate panel concludes health officials downplayed COVID vax risks despite early warnings

(Steven Richards – Just the News) Senate subcommittee’s interim report has disclosed that federal health officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received warnings as early as February 2021 about the potential for patients to develop myocarditis in the wake of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccination. It also concludes that they delayed issuing a public warning about the deadly heart disease, and downplayed the risks of the vaccine and the condition, new records show. Continue reading

CHRIST is the Head of the Church

Pope Leo XIV

“The Reformers understood that when the Roman church said that the Pope was the head or supreme pastor of the church, they replaced Christ with the Pope. That is why the Reformers would refer to the Pope consistently as the antichrist, which means the one who replaces or stands falsely in the place of Christ. What better description could there be even today of the Pope, who claims for himself the very position that Christ alone holds, as head of the church?”

(Robb Brunansky – The Cripplegate) “For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.” Ephesians 5:23

This profound truth—that Christ reigns as head of the church—carries immense weight. Countless martyrs have sacrificed their lives to defend it. In 17th-century Scotland, Covenanters huddled in misty glens, clutching tattered Bibles. Hunted for rejecting the king’s claim over the church, they sang psalms defiantly, their voices echoing across the moors. A mother, shielding her child, whispered of Christ’s sole headship before facing exile. Continue reading

Ed Martin Named the Top Three Suspects in the Biden Autopen Fiasco

“The president previously questioned if Biden’s last-minute pardons in January are “void” because they were signed with an autopen. He doubled down on that argument over the weekend also, after audio from the former president’s interview with a special counsel was unveiled.” 

(Matt Vespa – Townhall) Ed Martin’s nomination to serve as DC Attorney was nuked by Republican Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC). He was in office on an interim basis. Trump selected Jeanine Pirro to replace Martin, who is now a pardon attorney and helming the Department of Justice’s weaponization task force…. Continue reading

When Pastors Fall: Grieving for Men, Not the Church

“Celebrity culture turns shepherds into performers and pulpits into stages. When influence is prioritized over intimacy with Christ, ministry becomes a brand instead of a calling.”

(Drew Von Nieda – Servants of Grace) There is a kind of sorrow that does not arise from fear or fragility—but from reverence. It’s not a sorrow for the Church herself—for Christ has promised that the gates of hell will not prevail against her (Matthew 16:18).

Rather, it is a sorrow for the men who once stood behind pulpits, who were once voices of conviction at conferences and shepherds of flocks—and who have now fallen. Continue reading

America needs ‘spiritual renewal’ as fewer than half of Americans believe God exists

“The Trinity is one of the central theological foundations of Christian churches. However, that teaching is widely misunderstood, often rejected, and rarely acted upon…” – George Barna (article below under Related)

(Ryan Foley) A new survey has found that more than half of Americans do not believe God exists or that He “affects lives,” prompting one prominent researcher to highlight the need for “sweeping national repentance and spiritual renewal.”

The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University released the second installment of its American Worldview Inventory 2025 on Wednesday. Continue reading

Kay Arthur Dies at 91

(Anne Stych – Ministry Watch) Kay Arthur, a popular Christian speaker, author and longtime host of the “Precepts for Life” Bible teaching program that was broadcast around the world, has died.

“She will be remembered for her love for the Lord, His Word, and His people,” Chattanooga-based Precept, the ministry Arthur co-founded with her late husband, Jack, said in announcing her death. “A dynamic speaker with a warm writing style that captivated many, Kay was a remarkable beacon of grace and truth to all who encountered her.”

A former missionary and registered nurse, Arthur was born Nov. 11, 1933, in Jackson, Michigan, and graduated from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio…. Continue reading

What is genuine Biblical Humility?

3 Do nothing according to rivalry nor empty conceit, but in humility esteem others more significant than yourselves. (Philippians 2:3 translated from the NA28 Greek text)

One of the main contentions of the Christian deconstructionists in our time such as Andy Stanley is that it is an arrogant thing to teach from the Bible as if it is absolute truth. They say that the truly humble are those who confess to know nothing precisely, but only in a nebulous sort of way…. Continue reading

The Many Masks of Spirituality

“The term Wellness has allowed these New Age and occult practices to fly under the radar so that they can enter schools, workplaces, and the church. People do not know that Wellness does not mean health. Rather, it means one is responsible for one’s health, including your thoughts and your “invisible” body which is made up of chi/chakras/the meridian – whatever one believes in. These things do not exist but they act as spiritual vehicles for deception and destruction.”

(Marcia Montenegro) Don Veinot recently sent me a brief videoSpirituality Without Religion: The Rise of the ‘Modern Mystic’ (less than 9 minutes), that discusses how society is now more open to “spirituality” without connecting it to specific religions, at least not knowingly. This has been a trend for some time and is not new. It is just that practices like yoga, burning sage, mindfulness, breathwork, energy healing, shadow work, and other similar practices, are no longer viewed as fringe or even just merely tolerated, but are embraced as paths to what is called wholeness, wellness, “holistic spirituality” and other ideals that have reached a high status in today’s culture. Continue reading

2 Corinthians 6:14-17…Testing Alcoholics Anonymous according to Scripture

“Alcoholics Anonymous is successful. But its success is not in treatment effectiveness, which is limited, but in pointing people away from Jesus Christ, and in watering down the theology of the Christians who do attend.”

(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) What does the Bible say about Christians who participate in 12 Step groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous? Is this allowed or is it biblically forbidden?

It is forbidden. In spiritual matters we are to remain separate. According to 2 Corinthians 6:14-15: Continue reading

This Is the Man Behind the Curtain of Biden’s Health Coverup

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) For four years, Americans watched Joe Biden stumble—literally and figuratively—through his presidency, while his inner circle and media allies insisted everything was just fine. Any attempt to question his physical or mental decline was met with accusations of “ageism” or dismissed as wild conspiracy talk. This, from the same Democrats who once obsessed over Donald Trump’s mental fitness, but spent most of Biden’s term parroting absurd claims that he was “sharp as a tack,” “a beast,” or “running circles around his staff.”… Continue reading

Epstein Suicide Confirmed by Kash Patel and Frankie Five Angels

(Stephen Green – PJ Media) FBI director Kash Patel told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo Sunday night that he reviewed the entire Jeffrey Epstein case file and concluded that the notorious sex trafficker “killed himself” and that “there’s no evidence in the case file suggesting otherwise.”

“As someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor who’s been in that prison system, who’s been in the Metropolitan Detention Center, who’s been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when you see one, and that’s what that was,” Patel said to Bartiromo. Continue reading

Supreme Court Gives Trump Another Victory in Immigration Fight

(Jeff Charles – Townhall) The US Supreme Court has lifted an injunction against its effort to revoke legal status for over 500,000 migrants who were part of the Biden-era CHNV program.

This ruling is another victory for the Trump administration’s efforts to curb illegal immigration. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the only judge to dissent.

The Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration (8-1 with Jackson dissenting) to stay an injunction from the lower court blocking the March cancellation of parole for migrants under the Biden administration’s CHNV program. Continue reading

False Teacher of the Day: Delman Coates

“The real tragedy isn’t that Coates is just wrong—it’s that he’s confidently, proudly, and unforgivably wrong, leading these people down a path of spiritual ruin.”

(The Dissenter) Delman Coates, the senior pastor of Mt. Ennon Baptist Church, recently delivered a sermon that could only be described as theological arson. Coates didn’t just bend the truth—he violently assaulted it, dragged it into a dark alley, and left it bleeding. He essentially raped the text of Scripture to accommodate his progressive ideology. Continue reading

Three Kinds of Death

1 And you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom we all also formerly conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. Ephesians 2:1-3 (LSB) 

The fallen nature of man does not understand death. Depending on culture, some fight to stay alive with their all. The correct understanding of death comes to us from God’s Word. The word death is used in three different ways in Sacred Scripture. The first is spiritual death, which is separation from God (Ephesians 2:1,1)…. Continue reading

Jesus Christ, the express image of God

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. John 1:1-2 (LSB) 

I heard a sermon once a long time ago in which the preacher defined a cult as any religious group that called itself Christian but denied the orthodox view our Triune God. That means that those who deny the Doctrine of the Trinity, according to that definition, are not Christians, but heretics. The man-centered part of each of us, that is the flesh, rebels from such a strict “legalistic” view, but as our faith becomes more and more God Centered in all its aspects, that view becomes entirely justified in our hearts because as we come to know God as He reveals Himself to His children, we will not doubt His Word nor will we attempt to overlay His truth with “altered” truth nor will we add to it nor subtract from it nor take it out of context in order to make it more man centered….

Josh Buice Sent Tip To ‘The Roys Report,’ Accusing Voddie Baucham of Misappropriating $1M in Donations

“Along with emailing Protestia under a pseudonym requesting that we look into some issues relating to John MacArthur and The Master’s Seminary, The Roys Report has revealed that he also contacted them under the name “Tom Smith” with allegations of financial misconduct potentially totaling $1.1M.”

(Protestia) Former G3 President and disqualified elder of Pray Mills Baptist Church, Josh Buice, sent an anonymous tip to news organization The Roys Report, accusing Voddie Baucham of using a ghostwriter to write his book ‘Fault Lines’ and misappropriating over a million dollars in GoFundMe donations. Continue reading

Did Former FBI Director James Comey Just Call for Trump To Be Murdered?

“FACT-O-RAMA! The phrase “86” was code to vacate the speakeasy at 86 Bedford in NYC. A cop on the take would hear they were about to be raided and would call the joint and say “86” and they knew to 23 Skidddo.” – Kevin Downey JR.

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) It doesn’t get much more desperate and deranged than this. A former FBI director appears to have called for the assassination of the current president of the United States, Donald Trump. At least that looks like the message being telegraphed by the nation’s former top lawman on his social media accounts. Continue reading

Axios Releases Audio Showing Biden Struggling with Memory in Interview with Robert Hur

“The outlet’s release of the audio comes after the Biden administration refused to release the recordings of Biden’s interview with Hur. As Breitbart News previously reported, in May 2024, Biden invoked executive privilege to block a subpoena from House Republicans seeking to obtain audio recordings of his interview with Hur.”

(Elizabeth Weibel – Breitbart) Newly released audio from Axios reveals that former President Joe Biden struggled with his memory during an interview with then-special counsel Robert Hur. Continue reading

Personal Holiness and Intercessory Prayer

14 As obedient children, not being conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, 15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your conduct; 16 because it is written, “YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.” 1 Peter 1:14-16 (LSB) 

Much of the spiritual bankruptcy of the Church in our day can be attributed to the dire lack of Biblical discipleship within the Body of Christ. It seems that little is heard of the necessity of being separate from the world and not be conformed to it. That, combined with most professing believers having a very shallow Bible knowledge, creates an environment with very little spiritual discernment and wisdom. Continue reading

The Trump Administrations’ Latest Move Is Sure to Anger the Branch Covidians

(Jeff Charles – Townhall) The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will no longer recommend the COVID-19 vaccine to minors and pregnant women, a significant departure from government policy during the pandemic.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will remove the recommendations when it enacts new policies for approving vaccinations.

The exact timing of the announcement wasn’t clear, the people said, though it was expected in the coming days. Continue reading
