(Brian Freeman – Newsmax) There might be a terror attack against Jews in the United States due to the alarming rise in antisemitism since the Hamas massacre of Israelis started the war, Israeli United Nations Ambassador Gilad Erdan said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Erdan emphasized that “we are on the brink of a catastrophe. Any moment, we might see a terror attack against a Jewish community here in the United States.” Continue reading
“Because sinful people cannot storm the gates of heaven to dethrone and destroy God himself, they turn on what is dearest to him and nearest to his image. And so they act out their wickedness against other people. They hurt them, harm them, main them, kill them.”
(Tim Challies, 2017) Over the past few weeks I have been exploring what God hates. I have done this by looking to the Bible to search for those things God flat-out says he hates or things that he describes as “despicable” or “abominable.” We have seen that God hates idolatry, sexual immorality, injustice, hypocrisy, deceit, pride, and evil thoughts. Today we will wrap up by looking at God’s hatred for the wicked.
God Hates Wicked People Continue reading
“Anytime a homosexual or transvestite commits suicide, the world will immediately blame the church, as is happening here. But his behavior warranted harsh judgment from the community. His behavior should receive disdain and be publicly shamed. He even lied through omission to his congregation regarding the revelations. A congregation was betrayed by a wicked pastor who deceived them, and rather than disavow this man, FBC Phenix City has taken a mournful approach on their Facebook Page, even setting up a memorial cross on their lawn.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Fred “Bubba” Copeland is the mayor of Smiths Station, a 7,000-person town, while also serving as pastor of FBC Phenix City. Through reporting, a conservative Alabama digital outlet, 1819 News released a series of exposes on the mayor and pastor of a small town whereby they revealed that Copeland was digitally moonlighting as a transvestite under the persona “Brittini Blaire.” Continue reading
Audrey Hale manifesto – Louder with Crowder exclusive.
Update below.
The shooter said she wanted to “kill those kids” and referred to them as “those crackers,” a racial slur aimed at white people. She made reference to their “mop yellow hair” and their “white privileges.”
(Ben Zeisloft – The Sentinel) The transgender-identifying shooter responsible for murdering six people at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, wrote a manifesto expressing anti-white sentiments and laying out a schedule of the attack, according to excerpts of the document leaked to Louder with Crowder.
The shooter, an alumna of the Covenant School in Nashville and a woman who identified as a man, murdered three nine-year-old children and three adult staff members in March of this year…. Continue reading
“There. That’s more like it. Mealy-mouthed, sanctimonious claptrap. That’s the Obama we know and love.”
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that Barack Obama isn’t taking sides in Israel’s war against Hamas. The man has had jelly for a spine ever since he entered public life. Remember the Syrian “red line”?
But in some ways, Obama can’t help it. He’s been groomed by the liberal establishment to avoid offending people. He was successfully able to couch his radicalism in the language of brotherhood and harmony. It got him elected twice and created a mythos around him and his presidency that continues to this day. Continue reading
“By the superintendence of the Holy Spirit, Paul also writes to us. These letters are full of encouragement and exhortation to pastors and parishioners alike. Here are three things we should know about 1 and 2 Timothy.”
(Michael G. Brown – Ligonier) First and 2 Timothy, as well as Titus, are known as Paul’s “Pastoral Epistles.” This simply means that unlike the Apostle’s other letters—which, except for Philemon, were written to congregations—these letters were written to pastors of local churches concerning their duties in the ministry. Timothy was the pastor of the church at Ephesus when Paul wrote these letters to him. Yet, by the superintendence of the Holy Spirit, Paul also writes to us. Continue reading
“These people may be suffering, but it isn’t because conservatives or Christians won’t affirm them—it’s because they’re contending with the inescapable presence of God’s holiness that is inherent in all creation and Scripture. Yet, these activists are using our collective silence on their lies as a lever to pry open the doors to wide-ranging social reforms that dovetail neatly with the goals of the LGBTQ movement.”
(The Dissenter) It’s that time of the year again—November rolls in and with it comes “Transgender Awareness Month,” a creation of the activist class who have marked it as a time to turn the national spotlight onto what they perceive as the plight of the transgender community. They’re selling it hard as a stretch of thirty days dedicated to drumming up “inclusivity” and social justice for those who fall under the transgender label—a label, let’s be clear, that’s wrapped in a web of lies and deception. Continue reading
“Reformed Christians talk a lot about the Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession, Canons of Dort, Westminster Standards, and creeds such as the Apostles’, Nicene, Athanasian, and Chalcedonian Creeds. They are not making the case that confessions, catechisms, and creeds should replace Scripture. Quite the opposite. Reformed Christians use confessions, catechisms, and creeds to clearly articulate what they believe Scripture teaches.”
(Jonathan Shirk – Small Town Theologian) Read Nehemiah 8:7–8 on the site.
Every time a preacher ascends the pulpit to read and explain God’s Word, He is speaking creedally. It is inescapable. The moment he begins to explain the meaning or sense of the Scriptures, he is giving his creed. He is saying, “I believe that this Scripture means this, and here is why I believe it means this.” Explanation is absolutely necessary. God intends it to be done. Continue reading
“There was no precivilizational, unspeakable atrocity that the [Hamas] butcherers did not commit—torture, beheading, rape, mutilation, and necrophilia.”
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) There is something surreal, even sick about the current Gazan war.
Throughout European and American cities and campuses, tens of thousands of Middle East immigrants and students, and radical leftists chant nonstop “Free Palestinian from the River to the Sea.” Continue reading
“Being that Visconti is so vocally opposed to Stanley and his false teachings, to the point that he has completely written him off as a wolf in sheep’s clothing (and he is absolutely right about this), this is what makes it so difficult to understand why he could, from the same pulpit, promote Charlie Kirk from Turning Point USA (TPUSA).”
(The Dissenter) Ryan Visconti, the pastor of Generation Church in Mesa, Arizona, has come out as one of the most vocal opponents to Andy Stanley in the last year, particularly about his views on homosexuality in the context of Christian doctrine and church leadership…. Continue reading
“John Hagee teaches that God has two chosen people, and that physical Israel is the Jews and Spiritual Israel is the Christians.”
(Evangelical Dark Web) John Hagee is an American pastor, author, and televangelist known for his leadership in the evangelical Christian community. Born on April 12, 1940, in Baytown, Texas, Hagee’s life and career have been dedicated to spreading Christian teachings.
Hagee’s upbringing was deeply rooted in Christianity. He was raised in a devout Christian family and grew up attending church regularly. This early exposure to faith had a profound impact on his life and later career choices. Continue reading
(Protestia) Gavin Ortland is both doing the world a favor and cursing it, announcing on X that he’s leaving the pastorate to become a full-time theology YouTuber.
Ortland, the lead pastor of First Baptist Church of Ojai, California, is the perfect mix of David French, TGC ethos, and Christianity Today talking points. He revealed that he’s merging his Truth Unites ministry, which has 41,000 subscribers and exists to “promote gospel assurance through theological depth,” with his father’s Renewal Ministries. Continue reading
“Hatred of God spurs leftist revolutions. Soros clearly intends to destabilize humanity and he’s been successful so far.”
(Jack Gist – The Western Journal) Man was created in the image of God. A hatred of humanity, then, is a hatred of God.
If Elon Musk is right, billionaire George Soros hates God. In an interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast Musk said it straight, “In my opinion, he [Soros] fundamentally hates humanity.” Continue reading
“In Scripture, falling down before God as you’re moved and convicted by His word is an awe-filled, life-changing experience. But when it’s packaged as a weekly, replicable event, it becomes nothing more than spiritual theatrics, a pantomime that mocks the true gravity of encountering Christ.,,,”
(The Dissenter) Picture this: a coliseum filled with crazy people whipped into a frenzy, arms flailing like windmills in a gale, eyes rolled back as if caught in a trance. The preacher, slick and telegenic, lays a hand on someone’s forehead, mutters a few words, and then—bam! Down they go, “slain in the Spirit,” they’ll tell you…. Continue reading
“I won’t speak for anyone else, but I’m quite comfortable staking out a position that seems extreme to a bunch of people who are hell-bent on running the Republic off of a commie cliff. I’m going back for second and third helpings of polarization every day as long as these people have any influence.”
(Stephen Kruiser – PJ Media) I kicked off the week by writing about how much I am enjoying the way that newly minted Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is triggering so many Democrats. Watching them wash down handfuls of Prilosec with equitably sourced Nicaraguan kombucha is always entertaining. Continue reading

Because I’ve been involved in online discernment for 17 years, people ask me questions about the latest fads sweeping through the visible Church; likewise, my view on different movements or of someone’s teaching they find concerning. I’m often asked about theological cults such as Mormonism, Word of Faith/Prosperity Gospel, New Apostolic Reformation (hyper-charismania), Progressive Social Justice “Christianity” a.k.a. “wokeness”, and lest we forget the demonic New Age/New Thought spirituality and occult practices that have wormed their way into churches.
In the past few years people have asked me about false teachers, i.e. wolves in sheep’s clothing, who have YouTube channels. Since YT’s popularity has expanded, people don’t want to be taken in by “Christians” who promote highly unorthodox views and conspiracy theories on their monetized channels to the undiscerning. Not surprisingly, some very vicious wolves have a substantial number of subscribers/likes/shares, so buyer beware!
This article is not about youtubers (more on them here). Instead, I’m going to address some of the concerns I hear from family and friends and questions that frequently show up on my social media comments, PMs and email. What I often do, if appropriate, is refer people to Research Papers I’ve authored and published over at CRN. When time allows, I respond.
Following, as best I can recall, are synopsized conversations I’ve had with professing Christians whose names will remain anonymous. But first these cautionary words from B.B. Warfield:
If everything that is called Christianity in these days is Christianity, then there is no such thing as Christianity. A name applied indiscriminately to everything designates nothing.
(Mary Dowling) Here’s big news that isn’t news to any of us who’ve been paying attention. NBC News reports that FBI director Christopher Wray on Tuesday warned that Hamas’s actions in the Middle East could inspire other terrorist attacks, including by violent extremists in the US.
“We assess that the actions of Hamas and its allies will serve as an inspiration the likes of which we haven’t seen since ISIS launched its so-called caliphate years ago,” Wray said in testimony before the Senate Homeland Security Committee at a hearing on threats to America. Continue reading
“Che Ahn’s statement doesn’t just dip its toes into a pool of heresy, it dives headlong into it.”
(The Dissenter) If you think TPUSA is the guardian of conservative values, think again. Led by Charlie Kirk, this organization is nothing short of a Trojan horse in the conservative movement. While it claims to champion conservatism, it’s busy platforming and promoting ideologies that are anything but conservative—like embracing the LGBTQ movement to platforming heretics to blaspheme God.
TPUSA isn’t conserving the moral standards set forth by God—it’s diluting them, turning conservatism into a self-serving ideology aimed at broadening its base….. Continue reading
Luther recaptured the biblical view of the priesthood of all believers, showing all people that their work had purpose and dignity because in it they can serve their Creator.
(Robert Rothwell – Ligonier Ministries) On October 31, much of the culture will be focused on candy and things that go bump in the night. Protestants, however, have something far more significant to celebrate on October 31. It’s Reformation day, which commemorates what was perhaps the greatest move of God’s Spirit since the days of the Apostles. But what is the significance of Reformation Day, and how should we consider the events it commemorates? Continue reading
Of course, by that time, the “poorest man in Congress” and his wife owned two homes, including the 4,000-square-foot, six-bedroom Rehobeth Beach, Del., colonial and their ten-acre Wilmington manse “that Joe famously designed himself… with a big swimming pool…”
(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) “You gotta run. Because there’s so much at stake,” Jill Biden claims she urged her shuffling, addled husband before he undertook his 2020 basement campaign for president. Joe Biden, like the entire country, economy, and everything he touches, has gotten worse every day of his term of office…. Continue reading
(Olivia Rondeau – Breitbart) Ouija boards and other attempts to contact the dead should be avoided because “angels, demons, spirits, and souls do exist, and they can have an impact on our life,” an exorcist priest warns this Halloween season.
“We too often forget that there is much more to this world than meets the eye,” Fr. Dan Reehil, a priest of the Diocese of Nashville, told Fox News Digital in a Monday report.
Reehil was trained in performing exorcisms by the Ateneo Pontificio Regina Apostolorum in Rome in 2018 and was installed that same year as the resident exorcist in Nashville. Continue reading
(Nick Batzig – Beautiful Christian Life) Often, the most basic of God’s commands are the hardest for us to obey. We may ask ourselves whether or not we would have the faith to offer up a child to God—as Abraham did when he was called to offer up Isaac—while never really stopping to ask ourselves whether or not we have the faith to obey the most basic new covenant commands.
Take, for instance, Paul’s statement in 1 Thess. 5:18: Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you all. Continue reading
“In America today, right and wrong is no longer collective; it is now individualistic. The progressive left does not generally believe in punishment for hurting others. In some places, that concept has been obliterated. Violent criminals are released time after time. Drug addicts are given tax money to buy more drugs….”
(Bill O’Reilly) On Friday, I did a live show at the Paramount Theater in Huntington, Long Island, in front of a packed house. The theme of the show was an exposition of how the state of New York and much of the country has gone terribly wrong. Continue reading
(Catherine Salgado – PJ Media) Realists have tried to explain to Hamas sympathizers in the West that Hamas constantly uses their own civilians in Gaza as human shields. The latest bombshell confirmation of this is that Israel reportedly identified a terrorist base under a Gaza hospital, and even released audio online of Gazans discussing how they use civilian buildings to shield terrorist activities. This is one war where it’s easy to identify the “good guy” and the “bad guy.” Continue reading
“IHOP refused to go into details. And while a married man in ministry committing adultery is bad enough, the framing of this issue as sex abuse raises multiple questions”.
(Ray Fava Evangelical Dark Web) Mike Bickle is one of the most prominent figures in the New Apostolic Reformation also known as NAR. His organization, the International House of Prayer (IHOP) is the embodiment of NAR. On Saturday, the International House of Prayer released a statement denouncing Mike Bickle, disqualifying him from ministry. Continue reading
