(Protestia) The International House of Prayer has revealed the full results of the investigation report into the actions of founder and ‘prophet’ Mike Bickle. Prepared by Rosalee McNamara from the law firm Lathrop GPM, she says she was allowed unhindered access to all parties and players involved, except Mike Bickle himself, who declined to be interviewed directly but did respond to written questions, and the primary Jane Doe that Bickle has already admitted into having an inappropriate relationship with before the formation of IHOPKC, on the advice of her lawyer.

Sen. Hawley Humiliates Mark Zuckerberg For Lying About How Big Tech Hurts Kids
One internal research project conducted by Meta in 2021 determined one in three teenage girls struggling with body image “reported that using Instagram made them feel worse.”
(Jordan Boyd – The Federalist) Republican Sen. Josh Hawley forced Meta CEO and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to publicly apologize to the families of children victimized by his company’s addictive algorithms and practices.
During opening remarks to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Zuckerberg, who is on the record as encouraging his kids to play outside instead of use screens, falsely claimed social media doesn’t damage many kids’ happiness and health. Continue reading
Portland Declares State of Emergency Over Fentanyl Crisis
“If you just want to reduce overdose deaths, it’s a good plan. It’s worked in other cities. The problem is that it does absolutely nothing to address the problem….And the rest of Portland’s plan is even more useless.”
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) Gov. Tina Kotek (D-Ore.), Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson, and Portland, Ore., Mayor Ted Wheeler all made 90-day emergency declarations for the city of Portland to address the fentanyl crisis that is sweeping the downtown area. Continue reading
Alistair Begg Refuses To Repent, Attacks American Evangelicals In Awful Sermon
“It’s clear that Alistair Begg is not a serious pastor anymore…”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) You may think that the reaction to Alistair Begg’s compromise on gay weddings was too harsh, but actually, it has not been harsh enough. Whatever reputational credibility Begg stored up in his decades of ministry, he threw away in a recent sermon where he refused to repent and attacked those who called him out. The sermon is even worse than his initial statements.
Doesn’t Address The Issue Continue reading
Six Pro-Life Activists Found Guilty, Face 11 Years in Prison for Peaceful Protest
“This was a peaceful demonstration by entirely peaceable citizens—filled with prayer, hymn-singing, and worship—oriented toward persuading expecting mothers not to abort their babies. Unfortunately, the Biden Department of Justice decided to characterize Paul Vaughn’s peaceful actions as a felony ‘conspiracy against rights,’ to intimidate and punish Paul and other pro-life people and people of faith.”
(Katherine Hamilton – Breitbart) Six pro-life activists were found guilty on Tuesday for “conspiracy against rights” and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) in relation to a peaceful protest outside of a Tennessee abortion facility in 2021. Continue reading
How To Stop Cultural Marxism From Destroying Your Church
True, the church may need to repent for certain forms of collective guilt, but the church is made up of people from all races and ethnicities. Christians are called, like the good Samaritan, to offer aid to those in need; still, the Samaritan in the parable bears “no moral guilt for what happened.”
(Louis Markos – The Federalist) Though I am a conservative evangelical who leans toward a young Earth, I have always insisted that a literal six-day creation must not be a litmus test for orthodox Christianity. But that does not mean I am “soft” on Darwin. Many would argue, as I once did, that the Christian faith does not rest on what one thinks about Darwinism. While that may be true theoretically, the practical result among college students is often quite different. Continue reading
The Wrath Of A Righteous God
“God’s wrath stored up for believers is not a trumpet call for God to blisteringly wage war against them (as He does against the wicked) but a clarion call for our repentance, an invitation to return to the paths of righteousness, as echoed in Revelation 3:19.”
(Kendall Lankford) When attempting to know God, believers are sometimes confronted with attributes and aspects of His character that challenge our finite minds. If it were up to us, we would get to know God by the traits and qualities we enjoy most, such as His grace, mercy, and love. But what about when we are confronted with other attributes wholly central to understanding who He is that chafe a bit more against the soul? What are we to think then? Today, I would like to discuss an aspect of God’s character that many, including weak-kneed preachers, totally avoid. That is His perfect, all-consuming, and righteous fury. Continue reading
‘Credible Sources’ Say Michelle Obama Will Replace Joe Biden
“Bill O’Reilly has said it’s “almost inconceivable” that Democrats would nominate President Biden because of his dementia. He further said that former First Lady Obama was the only one among Democrats who could beat former President Donald Trump.”
(Mary Dowling) New York gossip columnist Cindy Adams broke the story that there is a plan afoot to replace Joe Biden with Michelle Obama in 2024.
According to her sources, her husband, Barack, is helping make this happen. Continue reading
Border Personality Disorder
“It is obvious that President Biden does not care about the destruction he has caused. He’s been to the border once. He put Kamala in charge. She’s been to the border once. When was the last time Mr. Biden addressed the crisis in any meaningful way?”
(Bill O’Reilly) Anderson Cooper is extremely concerned, and so is Donald Trump. There’s a new border security bill being formulated in Congress, and the former President is skeptical.
Anderson dismisses Mr. Trump’s concerns as “political,” saying on CNN that conservative dissenters don’t want to solve the massive chaos at the border so they can use the issue against President Biden, who is seeking reelection. Continue reading
Wait In Patience On The Lord: Meeting God In The Stillness
(Stephen Altrogge – The Blazing Center) It is not easy to wait in patience on the Lord. We want what we want right now, with no delay.
But in the Bible, it’s clear that waiting with patience is an essential part of the Christian life. As we wait, we learn to trust in God’s timing and perfect plan for our lives. In this guide, we will explore what it means to wait on the Lord with patience and how we can meet Him in the stillness of waiting.
What Does It Mean To Wait In Patience?
To wait in patience means to trust in God’s timing and plan, even when it seems like nothing is happening or going according to our own plans. It requires surrendering control and relying on God’s wisdom and sovereignty. Continue reading
Anne Voskamp To Be Speaker at Upcoming TGC Conference
“We last wrote about Voskamp after she claimed the cross symbolizes ‘hospitality’ because Jesus has ‘his arms open wide’”
(Protestia) In a few months, The Gospel Coalition is putting on their TGCW24 conference and will include speakers such as Jen Wilkin, Kristie Anyabwile, Rachel Gilson, Rebecca McLaughlin, David Platt, and Anne Voskamp, the latter of which, if you think about it, really is a perfect fit. We last wrote about Voskamp after she claimed the cross symbolizes ‘hospitality’ because Jesus has ‘his arms open wide’ Ann Voskamp is perhaps best known for romanticizing her relationship with God in her book One Thousand Gifts….
Voskamp’s messages about intimacy with Jesus frequently leave one squirming with discomfort, and her mystical descriptions of her encounters with the Lord come across as some spiritual sexytime with Jesus…Some of her quotes include:
CRN’s homepage contains a list of professing Christians to keep an eye on. Scroll down to WARNING. The list contains many people you’ll want to mark and avoid as per Rom 16:17-18 such as Ann Voskamp, TGC and others mentioned in the article.
The conservative voice and Christian content are being silenced more and more. CRN offers a lifeline to conservative people of faith who are disgusted with Facebook, Twitter and the MSM for failing to report, even blocking, important news stories that don’t comport with the far left’s narrative.

The Meaning of Non-Binary Sexuality
“The days ahead will be tough, but Jesus, our Lord, is in control and “he will win the battle,” as Martin Luther wrote in his great hymn so many years ago. As the author of Psalm 121:2-3 stated: “He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber nor sleep. My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.”
(Peter Jones – truthXchange) There is much confusion in our day regarding sexuality, both in the church and in the culture. Father James Martin, SJ, one of the attenders at the official Synod on Synodality (the meeting of all Catholic leaders now taking place over several years), affirms publicly that “we cannot deny the reality of same-sex relationships as integral to the meaning of the church as the People of God…Both heterosexual and homosexual people embody the truth of their dignity as imago Dei in their sexuality.”… Continue reading
Looks like we’re witnessing the epic end of Justin Trudeau…
“Today marks the day the freedom-loving truckers and their supporters got their due, and Justin Trudeau got his too. The courts have ruled that what Justin and his ragtag communist crew did to those innocent patriots was straight-up illegal.”
(Revolver) Remember the Canadian Trucker fiasco of 2022, famously dubbed The Freedom Convoy? Canadian truckers made waves when they united against Justin Trudeau’s tyrannical vaccine mandates and travel restrictions. It was an incredible grassroots movement, powered by the people, and truly a remarkable sight to witness. Continue reading
Barack Obama Is Telling Joe Biden to Quit the 2024 Race
“I would say there are plenty of reasons to believe this report. Will Biden listen?”
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) Earlier this month, we learned that Barack Obama advised Joe Biden on how to beef up his reelection campaign. Now, he appears to have given up all hope for Biden’s struggling campaign.
The former president and other allies of Biden’s have advised him “to quit the 2024 race to save America and the Democratic Party,” according to a report from RadarOnline. Continue reading
Ten Reasons Why a Christian Should Never Attend a Homosexual ‘Wedding’
(The Dissenter) In today’s Evangelical landscape, a seismic shift is unfolding, notably influenced by movements like Revoice and Living Out that have influenced Evangelical churches and advocate for a more inclusive approach within the church toward aberrant sexualities. Revoice, which emerged within Presbyterian (PCA) and Southern Baptist circles, promotes a perspective on “same-sex attraction” that is intertwined with contemporary pop psychology and personal experience rather than Scripture. Continue reading
Side B Theology Exposed: The Push For More Homosexual Pastors
“The Revoice organization is working behind the scenes in more ways than it appears…”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Side B Theology is one of the most pressing compromises in Evangelicalism today. It asserts that homosexual desires and identity are not sinful, in a partial affirmation of homosexuality and transgenderism. Logically, this could be carried over to pedophilia. A few weeks ago, Evangelical Dark Web reported on Preston Sprinkle hosting a conference on Preston Sprinkle wanting more churches to have homosexual leaders. Evangelical Dark Web infiltrated the webinar and the findings are quite interesting. Continue reading
Alistair Begg Doubles Down on LGBTQ Wedding Remarks, Gets the Boot From American Family Radio
“We are grateful that AFR has done the right thing, and we agree with them that the goal is always reconciliation, but reconciliation in the truth.”
(The Dissenter) Last week, The Dissenter reported that Alistair Begg, a prominent pastor associated with The Gospel Coalition, urged Christians to not only attend [a transgender] wedding, but to also buy them a gift—a position that starkly contradicts the biblical view of marriage as a sacred union exclusively between a man and a woman. This alarming advice from Begg, a respected figure in evangelical circles including the late R.C. Sproul’s Ligonier ministry, represents a growing trend of Evangelical leaders to abandon sound Christian doctrine in favor of man-pleasing cultural orthodoxy. It is a glaring example of the moral compromise seeping into the church under the guise of progressive tolerance. Continue reading
Hollywood Spent Years Appeasing Communist China, Now No American Movies Crack 2023 Top Ten Gross List
“The Chinese government propaganda newspaper Global Times recently predicted a “total collapse of the box office” for Hollywood in the near future as a result of its movies’ “repetitive” plots and “dated” American values.”
(David Ng – Breitbart) Hollywood’s losing streak in China continued in 2023, with no American movies cracking the country’s top ten list of the highest grossing titles of the year.
The pitiful results come despite Disney CEO Bob Iger’s aggressive efforts to get Beijing to approve more Hollywood titles for domestic release…. Continue reading
ERLC Author Claims He’s Immune to the Influence of Porn-Filled Movies, Claims They Motivate Him to ‘Spread the Gospel’
“Despite being a prominent figure at The Gospel Coalition, McCracken’s annual “Best Movies” lists are often filled with content that blatantly contradicts biblical teachings on sexuality and reverence for God. His writings, rather than steering Christians towards edifying content, plunge them into a world of salacious, risqué, and even blasphemous material under the guise of cultural engagement and artistic appreciation.”
(The Dissenter) Blogs like ours here at The Dissenter have spent countless hours exposing the grim reality behind institutions like the ERLC and The Gospel Coalition. These entities, who masquerade as paragons of Christian virtue, have been unmasked as nothing more than carnal institutions, dangerously straying from the path of righteousness. Continue reading
AG Ken Paxton reveals exactly how Dems stole 2020 election, and it’s so much simpler than you realize…
Watch Tucker’s interview.
“It wasn’t some elaborate “Ocean’s 11” scheme; it was rather straightforward. In fact, if we rewind to the 2018 midterms and recall how the Dems initially introduced “ballot harvesting” and managed to “win” in all those red districts, also in the wee hours of the night, ultimately taking control of the House, one can’t help but wonder if that was a “dry run” for 2020.”
(Revolver) Who can forget Election Night 2020? Some of you went to sleep, thinking Trump was the sure winner, and woke up to discover Joe Biden was the bumbler in chief. So, how did it happen? There are many theories, from hacking election machines to China being in control, but most people are overthinking it, and that’s perfectly okay with Dems; Continue reading
What’s the State of Global Religious Freedom in 2024?
(Chris Queen – PJ Media) Every day on the calendar has those “special days” — commemorations or observations of one thing or another. Most of them are silly, like International Sweatpants Day (Jan. 21) and National Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day (Jan. 22), but some have actual significance.
Last week, one of those days probably passed most of us by. Every Jan. 16 has been National Religious Freedom Day since 1993, but that probably didn’t cross the minds of many Americans…. Continue reading
The Biden-Obama Plan to Destroy Israel
“Hamas has made it clear they want a one-state solution, and will not rest until every Jew and Israel are gone. Whenever a terrorist kills Israelis, their family gets paid for life by the Palestinian Authority.”
(Mary Dowling) Joe Biden and Barack Obama, Biden’s close advisor, are pushing the two-state solution. They want to pander to the Islamist voting base. As Hamas/Palestinians make it clear that they exist to destroy Israel and Jews, the administration, mostly staffed by Obama-era advisors, wants to give them the West Bank in addition to Gaza. Continue reading
2024—America’s Year of Living Dangerously
“
All our enemies are right now calculating how best to use their gift of the next 12 months from a non-compos-mentis president and his neo-socialist team that either believes the U.S. is at fault for much of the world’s pathologies or is too terrified to do anything about them.”
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Lame-duck presidencies, especially in the last six months of their final term, in general can offer opportunities for America’s enemies to take advantage of a perceived vacuum as one government transitions to the next.
But these normal changeover months are especially dangerous when a perceived weak or appeasing lame-duck president is likely to be replaced by a strong deterrent successor that will likely serve as a corrective to his disastrous policies. Continue reading
Southern Baptists and Evangelicals Join Together to Create a Scripture-Twisting Program Promoting Open Borders
“Rather than upholding biblical truth and discerning the times, these leaders and pastors have become willful participants in a larger socialist agenda, championing a cause that undermines the integrity of both Scripture and national sovereignty. This silly Challenge put out by these religious socialist influencers stands as a disturbing epitome of propaganda, skillfully exploiting Christian compassion to propel a leftist, Marxist agenda in the Church.”
(The Dissenter) In a world where discerning truth has become optional for most of her inhabitants, it’s becoming increasingly important for truth-lovers to unmask the real agendas behind seemingly benign initiatives. The Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT), a group often presented as a faith-based coalition offering biblical insight into immigration policies, is, in fact, a facade for the Soros-funded National Immigration Forum that seeks to promote a Marxist revolution. Continue reading
‘Transing’ Yourself Is OK if You’re 18 or Older?
“Transgender ideology is a facet of political ideology disguised as a civil rights movement for a mental health struggle. In fact, President Joe Biden is treating transgenderism as a civil rights issue. That political ideology is a toxic mixture of radical freedom for all and cultural Marxism. That radical freedom is a way of justifying moral relativism — doing whatever you want because it seems right in your own eyes.”
(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) The transgender battle in the culture wars is a multifaceted debate: Is the ideology correct? Is it medically safe? When can it be implemented for people suffering from this gender confusion? Should this affect sports? Should this be taught to kids? Is it Marxism? Is it a social contagion? What is the best way to treat those who are suffering from it? Continue reading
