Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire: Bad Doctrine Often Reveals Underlying Sin

Dig a little deeper, and you’ll often find financial misconduct, greed, and sometimes even more sordid sins lurking in the shadows. The Scripture is clear: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils”

(The Dissenter) The modern church landscape is rife with wolves in sheep’s clothing, those charlatans who twist the Scriptures for their own personal gain. It’s not just the galling falsehoods they preach—whether it be the prosperity gospel, egalitarianism, the New Apostolic Reformation, or the social justice gospel—that should alarm us. It’s the stench of unrepentant sin that often wafts from their ministries, revealing the rotten core beneath their polished veneers. Continue reading

Damning 2020 election clip comes back to haunt debate moderator Jake Tapper…

“Don’t be fooled—President Trump knows exactly what he’s doing by agreeing to this CNN debate. He’s aware that just announcing his participation would unleash a treasure trove of past (and present) left-wing hysteria from moderators like Tapper, Dana Bash, and other regime-loving hacks at CNN.”

(Revolver) Jake Tapper is catching major flak from all sides, and rightfully so. Instead of using his platform to deliver actual news and facts to CNN’s dwindling audience, Tapper has chosen to spread hate, propaganda, and lies. At his worst, he comes off like a hysterical white liberal, “Karen,” completely overtaken by Stage 5 TDS…. Continue reading

House Committees Release Damning Report on CIA Collusion With Hunter’s Laptop

“Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have revealed how, in the final weeks before the 2020 presidential election, 51 former intelligence officials coordinated with the Biden campaign to discredit serious allegations about Biden family influence peddling.” 

(Rebecca Downs – Townhall) The saga of Hunter Biden’s laptop returns to the news, nearly four years after 51 intelligence officials signed onto a letter dismissing the very legitimate concerns as Russian disinformation…. Continue reading

At Least 50 ISIS-K-Related Illegals Are in the U.S. and No One Knows Where They Are. Thanks Joe!

(Kevin Downey JR – PJ Media) Three unnamed and broadly defined “U.S. officials” spoke to NBC about a disturbing report from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The report revealed that 400 illegal immigrants from southeast Asia have been slipped into our country over the southern border by an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network. More than 50 of them have disappeared.

FACT-O-RAMA! ISIS and its sister terror myrmidons in ISIS-K have been recently committing brutal terror attacks in Russia. DHS has since been taking a closer look at illegal immigrants from Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, and Tajikistan, where  ISIS-K has been recruiting. Continue reading

Christless Conservatism: Atheists and False Teachers Invited to Preach at TPUSA’s ‘Believers’ Summit’

“False teachers invited to speak at the event are well-known prosperity gospel charlatan, Jentizen Franklin, faux pseudo-historian, David Barton, and several others who’ve exchanged the gospel for politics. Unfortunately, it’s sad to see some otherwise good faces mixed in with such people….This kind of pragmatism—uniting with atheists, false teachers, and those who dilute the Gospel for political purposes—reflects a movement that is devoid of any real faith.”

(The Dissenter) Turning Point USA (TPUSA) under Charlie Kirk has long presented itself as a defender of conservative values, but a closer examination reveals a troubling trajectory—one that increasingly waters down Christianity and dilutes the Gospel. TPUSA isn’t just a political movement, it’s marketed as a Christian movement with an entire branch of the organization dedicated to “faith.” Yet, time and time again, TPUSA has demonstrated not just a serious lack of discernment, but active promotion of that which dilutes and perverts the gospel. Continue reading

How Did the Church Become So Complacent, Celebrating Drag Queens in the Pulpit?

In light of these biblical truths, it is clear that the professing Church stands on the precipice of God’s righteous judgment. The falling away we witness is not merely a deviation from tradition—it is a wholesale abandonment of the faith once delivered to the saints. God’s patience has limits, and His righteous judgment will not be delayed forever.

(The Dissenter) As I was doing my morning reading, I was pointed to this article at Religion News Service (RNS) praising and celebrating the abomination of drag performances in churches, particularly, in the pulpit. This abomination is a clear indication of the modern professing Church’s utter degeneration. I know they say that there is nothing new under the sun, but this sure seems like a new invention.

Meet the Latest Deviant to Join the Biden Admin

“Cherry not only worked as a Media Matters hack but also spent the last three years speaking on behalf of OUR Department of Interior—when he wasn’t busy attacking police, promoting Hamas, and calling for ICE to be abolished.”

(Paula Bolyard – PJ Media) Some days, I wake up and look at the news and wonder if Biden is trying to lose the election. Maybe he’s just sick and tired of the whole thing, and despite the prodding of DOCTOR Mrs. Jill Biden, he’s throwing in the towel.

Then again, maybe the loons running Biden are trying to sabotage him. Continue reading

NAR Prophet Makes Strange, Strange, Strange Threat During Twitter Squabble

Yesterday on Twitter/X, Wallnau made a direct and public criticism of Rick Warren’s character, pointing out that a recent tweet where Warren went off on Robert Morris was ‘uncharacteristic for the man who prefers to avoid hot divisive topics and is ‘fueled by his own personal axe which he can now grind with justification in public.’

(Protestia) Prominent charismatic teacher Lance Wallnau has been thoroughly discredited as a false prophet. A key player in the New Apostolic Reformation, he is a driving force behind the Seven Mountain Mandate that seeks to take “dominion” over seven designated areas of culture, including religion, family, education, government, media, arts & entertainment, and business. Continue reading

DHS ‘Intelligence Experts Group’ Classified Military Service, Religion and Trump Support as Indicators of Domestic Extremism and Terrorism

“One idea they came up with was expanding DHS’s reach into local communities in an “ambiguous” and “non-threatening” way to encourage teachers and parents to report on their conservative neighbors and children. The group sought to reclassifying political dissent as a “public health” issue so that “mothers and teachers” could feel comfortable coming forward.”

(Debra Hein – American Greatness) A classified Trump supporters, members of the military, and people with religious views as persons likely to commit “domestic violent extremist” attacks, newly released internal files show. Continue reading

Why Todd White is the Most Dangerous Kind of False Teacher

“When we really dissect his statements, it becomes clear that he’s mixing truth and error in such a way to lead people into even greater deception unnoticed.”

(The Dissenter) Todd White is a charismatic preacher who is known for his parlor trick “healings” such as leg-lengthening and various other fake healings. White is the pastor of Lifestyle Christianity, a church in Watauga, Texas, and is well-known in Word of Faith and prosperity gospel circles. White was made famous by notorious false prophet and heretic, Patricia King, who helped him launch his career after his supposed conversion to Christianity from atheism and a life of drug addiction.

TPUSA’s ‘Believers Summit’ Features Atheist James Lindsay and Drag-Approving Speakers

“Other notable speakers include Kirk, a crass and crude pragmatist who routinely partners with NAR and Word of Faith heretics…”

(Protetia) Turning Point USA is an American nonprofit organization founded by Charlie Kirk that advocates for conservative values on high school, college, and university campuses. As part of the Turning Point family, they have TPUSA Faith, which “exists to serve the American church by resourcing Christians across the nation to boldly stand for truth, liberty, and The Kingdom,” and which is putting on next month’s The Believers Summit.  Continue reading

Joe Biden Was Definitely Going to Attack Trump on This in the Debate. He Can’t Now.

(Matt Vespa – PJ Media) I would have never thought Snopes would be the one to drop an atomic bomb on liberal America like this—but here we are. One of the popular liberal myths about Donald Trump is the ‘both sides’ event after Charlottesville, where the media and Democrats for years have alleged Donald Trump was referring to the neo-Nazis that assembled during that Unite the Right rally, which left dozens injured and a woman dead after one white supremacist drove his car through a crowd of counter-protesters. Continue reading

The Ten Commandments Should Be Taught In Classrooms, Not Just Hung On The Wall

“The key thing is getting over this idea that we must preserve at all costs an outdated and fundamentally flawed notion of neutrality in our public institutions, that public schools, for example, must be silent about religion and morality even as they indoctrinate students in what amounts to a new religion of leftist political activism, bombarding them with lessons derived from critical race theory and LGBT ideology.”

(John Daniel Davidson – The Federalist) Louisiana made news this week for passing a law that mandates the Ten Commandments be displayed on the walls of every public school classroom, including elementary schools, middle and high schools, and all public college classrooms. Continue reading

If Southern Baptists Failed to Take a Stand on Women in the Pulpit, Just Imagine What’s Next

“This wasn’t a radical innovation—it was a reaffirmation of what the Baptist Faith & Message 2000 already says. But, in typical fashion, the SBC chose to pass up the opportunity to make a clear, unequivocal stand.” 

(The Dissenter) In a move that should surprise no one who’s been paying attention, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) has once again proven that when faced with a choice between standing firm on biblical principles or caving to cultural pressure, they’ll take the path of least resistance. The recent failure to pass the Mike Law Amendment is a glaring testament to the theological decay festering within this ostensible “fortress” of conservative Christianity. Continue reading

Here’s How Long It Takes for Instagram to Show Adult Content to Children Who Join

“Curiously, Snapchat and TikTok were also tested, but didn’t produce the same results.”

(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Well, it shouldn’t shock anyone to learn that Instagram, the popular social media platform owned by Meta, is g*o*ming children.

Studies from The Wall Street Journal and Northeastern University computer science professor Laura Edelson found that the platform recommends sexualized content to young teens soon after they start using a new account. Continue reading

The Chosen: Isn’t the Biblical Account ‘Good’ Enough?

We don’t expect The Chosen to be a biblically accurate show. Dallas Jenkins has been clear that 95% of what is in the script is made up, so it isn’t a surprise that he would add a mythical tale of the NBN to the story to make it a more exciting and compelling mythical episode of The Chosen, and leave the viewer saying, “I didn’t know that.” The viewer should not feel bad, as Luke did not know it either!

(Don & Joy Veinot – Midwestern Christian Outreach) A favorite pastime for some popular teachers today is to find new and exciting biblical “insights” to share with others. These “new discoveries” can quickly take on a life of their own and grow unchecked and unchallenged. We think if something has been unknown or especially “secret” down through the ages, that would be a very good reason to be skeptical about it, but instead, it appears to draw people in. The “Old Stuff” is OLD, after all…. Continue reading

Spiritual Molester ‘Daystar Television Network’ Drops Physical Molester Robert Morris From Lineup

“These men and women have been molesting the scriptures for years, abusing it so they might, in turn, spiritually abuse and molest victims of their prosperity scams and heretical doctrine.”

(Protestia) Daystar Television Network has removed all of disgraced pastor Robert Morris’s programming from their broadcasting network, stating that they ‘unequivocally condemn the actions described in these allegations” and that they “remain committed to upholding Biblical values as outlined in the word of God.” Continue reading

NYC Residents Revolt Over Illegals After Brutal Assault of 13-Year-Old

“During his confession, the rapist inhumanely admitted to cops that he recorded his savagery after he was no longer “nervous” about raping a 13-year-old girl.”

(Kevin Downey JR – PJ Media) Despite living in a huge, deep blue, toilet city, New Yorkers are losing their patience with Democrats, and it’s largely due to Joe Biden’s wave of “diversity” crashing our border and bringing with them a tsunami of crime.

As you may have heard, an animal from Ecuador, here illegally, tied two 13-year-olds together, one boy and one girl. He threatened them with a large knife as he raped the girl. Continue reading

The Gospel Coalition’s Incessant Quest for Cultural Relevance Is What Makes Them Irrelevant to the Church

TGC’s consistent pandering to worldly interests reveals a glaring neglect of their duty to uphold and defend biblical truths. While McCracken and his peers are busy engaging with Hollywood’s latest offerings, the real issues—abortion, sexual immorality, apostasy within the Church—are largely ignored or addressed with a tepid, accommodating tone.”

(The Dissenter) The Gospel Coalition (TGC) is notorious for its center-left-leaning views on everything from spiritual to cultural to political issues while masquerading its social agenda as “gospel issues” to maintain a veneer of spiritual authority. In its relentless quest for relevance, TGC consistently promotes worldliness over the inconvenient truths of Scripture. Continue reading

‘1 in 1B’ Chance COVID Came From Nature, Warnings of ‘Catastrophe’

“The Wuhan Institute of Virology is testing a NEPA virus in a synthetic clone. This is a U.S. CDC bioterrorism agent that kills three out of four people. A lab leak with an airborne NEPA virus would quickly within weeks disrupt food and energy distribution, fire and police services, and medical care.”

(Mary Dowling) Prominent scientist Dr. Steven Quay explains six reasons why there is only a one in a billion chance that Coronavirus came from nature, specifically an infected animal. Consider that if Dr. Quay knows this, so do all the liars at CDC and FDA. Continue reading

Democrat Fixer Marc Elias’ Firm Steps In To Stop ‘Disastrous Election System’ Fix

(M.D. Kittle – The Federalist) Bogus Russian dossier peddler and Democrat Party problem fixer Marc Elias has again injected himself into a key election integrity case to “defend the broken status quo.”

Swing-state Nevada’s dirty voter rolls include hundreds of suspect addresses, at bars, strip clubs, empty parking lots, and other commercial addresses, according to an investigation by the Public Interest Legal Foundation. Doing so is clearly against the law. Continue reading

Fuller Theological Seminary Ponders Lifting Prohibitions on Same-Sex Activity + Be More LGBTQ Friendly

“Perhaps the most notable institutional example of the drift from affirming the inerrancy of Scripture to affirming the infallibility of Scripture was Fuller Theological Seminary. Its original statement of faith (written several years after its founding in 1947) contained the following article on Scripture: “The books which form the canon of the Old and New Testaments as originally given are plenarily [fully] inspired and free from all error in the whole and in the part.” – Ken Silva

(Protestia) Fuller Theological Seminary is an interdenominational evangelical seminary nestled in the heart of Pasadena, California. Founded in 1947 with over 2300 students from 110 denominations, they have a pretty standard statement of faith that allows a range of thought and beliefs as they try to navigate between neo-orthodoxy and theological liberalism, seeking to find a middle ground.  Continue reading

Robert Morris Resigns Form Gateway Church As Elders Attempt To Save Face

“The elders claim to not have known that Robert Morris was molesting a 12-year-old. However, there were clear signs that they, in fact, knew the “young lady” was a minor. Consider their initial leaked memo…”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Last week, America’s largest megachurch, Gateway Church in Texas, was rocked by scandal when the public learned that Robert Morris molested a 12-year-old girl in 1982 and continued over the course of four and a half years. Now, Robert Morris has resigned, and the elders of Gateway have released a new statement with numerous discrepancies. Continue reading
