“If you find yourself in a cycle of “rededication,” sadly to say, you may be deceiving yourself. If your life is not marked by genuine repentance, and a true desire to follow Jesus, and obey God’s word, you very well may be lost.”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) A popular concept within evangelical churches, especially college-age and young adults, is the idea that one can “rededicate” their life to Christ…. Continue reading
“Jesus taught us that the God-ordained union of “male and female” is our best clue that God intended sexual unions to be between two (and only two) persons. The requirement of two different sexes is the only foundation for rejecting more consistently the excessive structural sameness of incest. Eliminating this male-female foundation opens the door to other distorted sexual unions, at least for now of an adult-consensual nature.”
(Robert A. J. Gagnon) What’s the harm in endorsing homosexual relationships, apart from a violation of the overwhelming witness of Scripture, including the teaching of Jesus, leading to a consignment of many to eternal separation from God? Continue reading
“A few years ago, I fell victim to a church plant that was completely given over to the false theology of Dr. Tim Keller, and the church-planting scheme put forth by Kathy Keller in this article is precisely what I encountered, and rejected. This article embodies much of what is dangerous and unbiblical about this church-planting power couple.”
(Toni S. Brown) Mrs. Tim Keller, otherwise known as Kathy, has published an article at Redeemer City to City, the church planting wing of Tim Keller’s vast New York operation. Continue reading
In a series of articles posted over at Alpha & Omega Ministries, Pastor Tom Buck tackles the troubling details he discovered at Sam Allberry’s ministry Living Out. Allberry is an Anglican priest who is same-sex attracted and has become one of the leading authorities on the issue of homosexuality. In his series, Buck shares with us the bad theology and the perverted counsel offered by two of the websites leaders. You can find those articles here: part 2, part 3, part 4.
Following is an excerpt from part 3: Continue reading
“George Soros – Russell Moore’s partner in the Evangelical Immigration Table (Soros funds the organization and funds the Ethics and Religious Libert Commissionon of which Moore is the president) – recently gave $408k to Kim Foxx, the individual responsible for dropping charges against Jussie Smollett. More than $330k was spent installing Fox in office prior to the election, and he gave $75k in the general election.”
(JD Hall – Pulpit & Pen) Jussie Smollett, a California native and homosexual has spent the majority of his life in show business and is currently a star on the Fox show, Empire…. Continue reading
‘Unplanned’ – photo credit PureFlix
“John Sullivan, a producer on “Unplanned,” and who also directed “2016: Obama’s America,” told THR that money was there but the networks would not take their business. “We were looking to spend money, but they didn’t want to get involved,” he said.”
(Paul Bois – Daily Wire) It seems that the same blackballing efforts that plagued “Gosnell” are beginning to plague the anti-Planned Parenthood movie “Unplanned.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, TV networks are now refusing to run ads for the PureFlix movie that received a wide theatrical release on Friday. Continue reading
“The whole notion that Jesus experienced some kind of body “dysphoria” is built on the unbiblical premise that same-sex attraction is not a sin, but a “disorder” which is a result of sin.”
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) The road to full transgender and homosexual affirmation and inclusion in the Church is coming near full-stop — as in, we’re arriving. Through ministries such as Sam Allberry’s Living Out, the historic Christian faith is being altered right in front of us, and the Church is entering a new paradigm…. Continue reading
“The solemn fact is that none of us can tell the difference between the beginning of backsliding and the beginning of apostasy. Both look the same. So what are the tell-tale signs of this sickness unto death? Are there early symptoms that might alert us to our spiritual danger?”
(Sinclair Ferguson – Ligonier Ministries) I can still recall the conversation although it took place more than three decades ago. A shocked friend asked, “Have you heard that Sarah is no longer a Christian?” … Continue reading
“No two people have done more than these two buffoons to peddle fantasy claims, unfounded conspiracy theories and outright lies regarding President Trump’s supposed collusion with the Kremlin during the 2016 election.”
(Charles Hurt – Breitbart) In the wake of the journalistic catastrophe exposed by the Mueller report, it is important that we record as many of the lies that we can and shine a bright light on the most dishonest goats in the media over the past two years.
No publications deserve more contempt and ridicule than The New York Times and The Washington Post. Both were once serious newspapers dedicated to ferreting out the truth and holding accountable those in power. Continue reading
“It never seems to occur to anyone on this panel that the other-worldly and supernatural transformation they appear to be so passionately proclaiming does not leave a man in his sin, with an unchanged heart overtaken by perverted passions.”
(Toni S. Brown) The White Horse Inn continues to promote gay “Christians,” producing a one year study on the book of John with each episode hosted by either White Horse Inn (WHI) producer Shane Rosenthal or founder Michael Horton, co-hosted by Sam Allberry. This week’s panel instructs the Lord’s church on what it means to be “born again.” Continue reading
“Scripture teaches with clarity and abundance that hell is forever…Jesus used the same word to describe both the eternality of heaven and hell. The fact that hell is unending is a terror that surpasses all terrors. No end. No exit. No escape. Three months of conscious torment will pass. But forever will still remain.”
(Eric Davis – The Cripplegate) My father was rightly concerned about my brewing ingratitude. The grumbling; the murmuring; the pride. Through his seasoned years, he could see what I couldn’t. Continue reading
“We explore the physical and supernatural manifestations happening at Bethel, which brings up the question: are these experiences movements of God, psychosomatic episodes, or something else?”
(ChurchWatch Central) On October 10, 2018 Lindsay Davis, now former student of BSSM (Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry), made an incredible admission on her Facebook wall. In her post Lindsay wrote: Continue reading
“The way this could happen pretty quickly is through the sexual civil rights accorded to children, and all the many new ways adults will find to “support” them—what saner heads would call “grooming.” All that has to happen for pedophiles to gain access is for minors to acquire newly-minted sexual identity “protections” and then their carefully-manipulated “choices” will pave the way.”
(Linda Harvey – Mission: America) Jason is 13 and wants to date his male 21-year-old student teacher. If the “LGBT” Equality Act passes through Congress, the age of consent barrier may fall and allow him to do so. Continue reading
“Whatever becomes of Clayton Jennings, it is absolutely fair to say that it should reflect to some extent upon his parents, who while having the opportunity to at least attempt to stop his spiritual abuse of women dead in its tracks, have instead done little more than enable him and cover up his immoral behavior.”
(JD Hall – Pulpit & Pen) When Don Jennings was ousted from his last church for helping to cover up the sexual and spiritual predation of his son, his wife and Clayton’s mother – Lisa – demanded the church give her the rights to a longstanding passion play directed by herself each year entitled Behold the Lamb. Being a major theatrical production for a small Indiana town, seeing the ‘show biz’ continue was important for Lisa, who used it to help propel her son into the spotlight. Continue reading
“Living Out has imported a serious error into the Evangelical Church, one that denies the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ on a multi-faceted level. That is, they teach that sexual-orientation is something that most people are stuck with, even after salvation.”
(Reformation Charlotte) Jesus ate with homosexuals, so we should be accepting of them. That is the argument of the progressive gay militant propaganda machine that historically the Church found so absurd that it received little attention inside the ranks of orthodoxy. … Continue reading
“Atheism is often billed as the most logical form of non-belief system for any devoted and rigorous scientist. However, Meyer says that the atheist rejection of intelligent design presents many key scientific challenges.”
(Will Maule – Faithwire) Stephen C. Meyer is a geophysicist and author of New York Times bestseller, “Darwin’s Doubt.” Despite not being a Christian himself, after years of scientific study, Meyer came to the conclusion that there simply must be an intelligent designer behind our creation.
In addition, contrary to many within his discipline, Meyer believes that expert scientific study of the origins of the universe can conclude a number of assertions that are in common with the central tenets of theistic beliefs. In a wide-ranging interview on the Ben Shapiro Show, Meyer also criticized Darwin’s evolutionary theory as being unable to answer the biggest question of all — how did life actually begin? Continue reading
“There is no more a homosexual “Christian” than there is a homicidal “Christian”: It is a monstrous delusion. If the desire of the heart is such that one purposefully identifies as an “any sin-Christian,” regeneration has not occurred.”
(Toni S. Brown) In all its clear deception, the homosexual “Christian” movement is spreading like gangrene, packed full of emotion and cloaked in biblical language, it leaves many dumbfounded as to how such a radically unbiblical lie could possibly “catch-on” in so-called biblically sound churches? For the answer, we must survey who is now promoting the lie of same-sex attracted(SSA) “Christians.” … Continue reading
“According to Anyabwile, true faith doesn’t vote for GOP candidates, it contends for reparations. True faith hires pastors based on melanin and diversity standards rather than biblical qualifications. True faith contends for open borders and manipulates the civil magistrate and so on and so forth. By making these matters issues of true faith, Anyabwile makes them issues of the gospel, and by doing so he has also created a sect or faction of sorts. And this sect holds that these issues are gospel issues.”
(Ed Dingess – Reformation Charlotte) Heresy, or heretic, are not words that I generally drop lightly these days. I used to, but one thing I’ve learned over the years is to approach heresy — especially within orthodox ranks — with a tremendous amount of precision and care. After several years of following Thabiti Anyabwile and the ideology that he continues to push, I believe it is safe to say that he has crossed the line of heresy. Continue reading
“Francis Chan sadly is apostatizing before our eyes. He hasn’t just begun. He isn’t in the kiddie pool. He is in the deep end, swimming with sharks, coyly denying that they’re sharks in the first place, and saying the water’s fine.”
(Elizabeth Prata – The End Time) Apostasy is defined as ‘a defection or revolt’. It is the formal disaffiliation from or abandonment or renunciation of a religion by a person. One who commits apostasy in religion (or who apostatizes) is known as an apostate. In Christianity, it is important to remember that apostates never really were saved. 1 John 2:19 says, Continue reading
“The Liberation Theology movement is built on the premise that man is basically good and deserves good. It is actually a subtle form of the prosperity gospel. Proponents of this movement believe that they deserve equality, not of just opportunity, but of outcome in the economic and social spectrum.”
(Reformation Charlotte) There is a deep-rooted heresy that is gaining momentum in the Evangelical church today. The heresy is born out of Black Liberation Theology — a theology popularized by James Cone that encourages blacks to use their religion to seek “liberation” from various forms political, economic, and social oppression. … Continue reading
“Ligon Duncan continues to promote the ecumenical unity that is essential to the spread of the social gospel – as a board member at The Gospel Coalition, through his influential position at RTS and through associations, conferences and books written by social activists working tirelessly to advance unbiblical unity within the visible church.”
(Toni S. Brown) On April 01, 2019, Ligon Duncan will be teaming up with homosexual pastor, Sam Allberry for a mini-conference co-sponsored by Mark Dever’s 9Marks at TGC19 (The Gospel Coalition 2019 National Conference). They aim to “rethink” denominations, as they ask: “Do they help or harm the unity of the Church?” Continue reading
Echoing John Piper’s famous “Farewell Rob Bell” tweet, one author even wrote an article titled “Farewell Francis,” expressing the long-overdue need to write Chan off. In a half-hearted attempt to save face, however, after much criticism from broader Evangelicalism, Chan responds to his critics and tries to defend his indefensible actions.
(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) What do you get when you cross the Cows of Bashan with LifeWay’s incessant need for cash? Beth Moore. Continue reading

“There is more that could be said but this should be enough for the reader to see some of the difficulties inherent in this new approach to sexuality and to apologetics in the church. The early Christian response to pagan criticisms was not to put forward those who identified themselves according to their sinful proclivities. An important part of the early Christian apologetic was their resolute adherence to God’s moral law, not in order to be saved but because they had been saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.”
(R. Scott Clark – Abounding Grace Radio) In a recent essay, Rebecca McLaughlin calls for Christians to stop retreating and to “go on the offensive.” She makes some valuable observations. She is right to note that, though Christianity seems to be in trouble in the West, globally it is flourishing. … Continue reading
“Sin, for Christ Jesus and His written Word, is an offence against God. Sin that brings all evil and catastrophe upon man is personal sin, and that must be repented of. Christ Jesus clearly taught that one must repent and believe the Gospel. Christ Jesus did not differentiate those who were oppressed or who had suffered, from all other types of people, all must repent and believe. Christ Jesus’ message to you and to me is “except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” His message is to repent of our personal sinfulness, to repent of looking to any theology or church for salvation, and to look to Him alone.”
(Richard Bennett – Berean Beacon) Latin American liberation theology has for the most part been a movement identified with the Roman Catholic Church. It is in fact just the tip of the iceberg; the principles that it proclaims have affected western society. Much of the present welfare societies in the USA and in Europe are just different expressions of the same Catholic mentality seen in official statements of the Vatican.[1] … Continue reading
According to persecution watchdog, International Christian Concern, some 23 people were murdered in the attacks, which were perpetrated with machetes and firearms. “It was bad. They killed over 20 people. Some were killed by gunshots and some by machete hacks!”
(Will Maule – Faith Wire) Vice President Mike Pence has issued an “urgent call” to assist the persecuted Church around the globe. Speaking at the “Help the Persecuted” summit in Washington D.C. Friday, Pence said that “No people of faith face greater hostility or hatred than followers of Christ” and called on American Christians to stand with them. Continue reading
