Loving God with Knowledgeable Discernment

“It is possible to reject a movement as a whole while at the same time rejoice if, in fact, the gospel is truly given and genuine conversions take place. For instance, the recently released movie Jesus Revolution is about the Jesus Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. While I reject much about this movement as a whole, I am thankful for any true conversions that took place within it, and I’m sure there were many.”

(Taigen Joos – G3 Ministries) addition to the prayers of our Savior, the prayers of the apostle Paul offer excellent material for the Christian to study if he seeks to grow in his prayer life. Continue reading

Signs of Deception

People’s carnal passions are being fed from pulpits with what is a NARcissistic gospel.

(Rick Becker – Famine in the Land) How does someone know if they’re deceived, or if they’re in a church that’s been deceived and deceiving their members? We know that the only answer is for the Holy Spirit to remove the scales of deception from their eyes. Then, through studying the scriptures and by the illumination of God’s word, they’re able to identify false teachings and practices. In many cases, the solution for the deceived individual is salvation. They are false converts who have been seduced by a false gospel – they need to be born again to grasp spiritual truths (1 Corinthians 2:14). This is precisely why so many warnings concerning false teachers and their false teachings fall on deaf ears…. Continue reading

Website ‘ShowMeTheToes.com’ Launches After Woman Claims Amputated Toes Slowly Regrown During Bill Johnson Sermon

(Protestia) That’s a weird headline.

Anyway. A woman attending James River Church’s recent service is facing scrutiny and skepticism after releasing a video claiming that three of her toes that were previously amputated were miraculously regrown during a healing service. According to reports:

The services were part of the church’s “Week of Power,” which included services by guest pastors Bill Johnson Of Bethel and Randy Clark.

Andy Stanley’s False Gospel: I’m a Christian Because it Made My Life Better

(The Dissenter) If you need more proof that Andy Stanley is a false convert leading people [astray], look no further than his most recent sermon.

Andy Stanley has been in our headlines quite a bit in recent weeks as we have exposed on a massive scale the pro-homosexual sentiment with his network of churches. Stanley, the pastor of North Point Ministries, preached a sermon a while back explaining how homosexuals have more faith than most Christians because, according to him, they love Jesus more than we do because they worship him despite all the “rejection” they get from Christians. Continue reading

Living the Cessationist Life

“How frustrating it is then to hear the role of the Holy Spirit reduced to providing the charismatic gifts of prophecy, tongues, and miraculous healings in the minds of many. The Holy Spirit fills us without the extravagance of outward wonders. After all, His goal is not to get our attention and become our focus, but to direct us to Jesus Christ in whom we find our salvation and our souls’ rest.”

(John Divito – Founders Ministries) Will the debate over the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit ever cease? Maybe not, with many books coming out, debates being held, and conferences taking place on this controversial subject. One of the primary reasons for the intensity of this issue is that it directly relates to how we should live the Christian life…. Continue reading

Christ or Chords? The Manipulated Emotionalism of Hillsong, Asbury, and Pentecostalized Evangelical Worship

“The use of music to manufacture “feelings of spirituality” is exactly why Hillsong and the whole contemporary worship music movement are so popular—take away the music, and you eliminate the “feelings of spirituality.”…The use of music to manufacture “revival” is what drove the events at Asbury—take away the music, and you eliminate the “revival.” Since when is a bunch of college kids swaying to music for multiple consecutive days revival?”

(Scott Anoil – By the Waters of Babylon) When Christ was asked about the great commandment in the Law, he answered without hesitation: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Mt 22:37). True worship of God is centered in our affections for him. As Jonathan Edwards rightly observed, “True religion, in great part, consists in holy affections.” Indeed, a purely intellectualized worship is no worship at all. Continue reading

David Platt Says He Loves Jesus Even More Because of False Teacher, Francis Chan

“As Francis Chan continues down this path of ecumenism, however, it’s surprising to see those, like David Platt, who once upon a time stood as a living monument to biblical fidelity and against false teachings suddenly slip into a path embracing everything from social justice to charismaticism, to, well, now even Francis Chan’s nonsense.” 

(The Dissenter) The controversial preacher Francis Chan, known for his increasingly ecumenical views that blur the lines between biblical Christianity and other denominations such as Roman Catholicism, is once again promoting a superficial unity among diverse and often contradictory Christian denominations. Continue reading

Listen to This Bizarre Story About How Greg Laurie Was Converted by a Practicing Homosexual

“Watch this bizarre story about how Greg Laurie was converted by Lonnie Frisbee.”

(The Dissenter) Greg Laurie is an American author, evangelist, and senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship, a megachurch located in Riverside, California. He was born on December 10, 1952, in Long Beach, California, and according to his own testimony, he became a Christian in 1970 at the age of 17 during the Jesus Revolution involving weird charismatics and, apparently, a practicing homosexual. Laurie has been married to his wife, Cathe, since 1974. Continue reading

Beth Moore Goes Full Robin DiAngelo, Calling White Men Racist

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) A recently surface video from the “Racism In The White Church” conference shows Beth Moore going full Robin DiAngelo trying to convince white people how racist they are. Woke Preacher Clips unveiled a video in which Beth Moore describes a white friend of hers who wants to be an ally, who swears he’s not a racist.

According to Beth Moore, this friend of his cannot see for the life of him that he is the racist…. Continue reading

The Unfaithful Bride: America’s Idolatry and the Coming Persecution

“Then he will say to those on his left [goats], ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” Mat 25:41

“Throughout the whole of biblical history and the whole of church history, God has used fierce persecution and hardship to both separate the devil’s goats from His sheep and to purify and strengthen those sheep. That they may “share His holiness” (Hebrews 12:4-17)”

(Greg Smith) Throughout the Old Testament, God uses sexual terms to describe Israel’s covenant unfaithfulness to Himself in their worship and life. We find this especially in the prophets. In fact the entire book of Hosea is grounded in this theme as the LORD commands Hosea to take a wife of harlotry. A wandering adulterous woman who will not be faithful to him.

Chapter 1 v.2: When the LORD first spoke through Hosea, the LORD said to Hosea, “Go, take to yourself a wife of harlotry, and have children of harlotry; for the land commits flagrant harlotry, forsaking the LORD.” Continue reading

The Babylon Bee Crossed the Line Between Satire and Openly Mocking God

“Any man who commented that the post was not giving God the reverence He deserved was shouted down by men and women alike telling us to “lighten up.” The Christian view of God is not something we should ever “lighten up” on.”

(Protestia) There is no denying that the nominally Christian satirical website the Babylon Bee has been effective in fighting the culture war at times. Satire is a useful tool in reaching some who may not otherwise be interested in hearing the truth from more straightforward sources. When one engages in Christian satire, however, that person can run the risk of not only mocking the culture, but mocking God as well. Continue reading

The Death of Dissent

“By Monday afternoon, in order to advance optics to support the January 6 comparison, the New York Police Department began installing steel barricades around the Manhattan criminal courthouse, the site of the expected announcement.”

(Julie Kelly – American Greatness) The lead prosecutor in charge of the January 6 investigation, the largest probe in Justice Department history, just confirmed what American Greatness has reported for months: the number of criminal cases related to the Capitol protest is expected to at least double before it’s all over. Continue reading

What is ‘Hillsong Family’, and Why Do Some Churches Pay $100K a Year to Join It? Ft. Judah Smith

“In 2019, just from speaking at Hillsong alone, Smith personally made 50K for two sermons, with his first-class flights, meals, and hotels also covered.”

(Protestia) Hillsong Family is an initiative started by Brian and Bobbie Houston.  According to the embattled church:

The HILLSONG FAMILY is a group of like-spirited, forward-thinking, kingdom-building visionaries and ministries working TOGETHER for a greater cause. This group of churches and ministries are joining our ‘FAMILY’ in an effort to develop and strengthen one another – a family relationship in which to find wisdom and encouragement, spiritual accountability and support as they continue to build the church and ministry that God has uniquely called them to do.

Big Pharma Developing Bird Flu Vaccines ‘Just in Case’

(Ben Bartee – PJ Media) Some of the world’s leading makers of flu vaccines* [emphasis added] say they could make hundreds of millions of bird flu shots for humans within months if a new strain of avian influenza ever jumps across the species divide.

The corporate media’s hyping of bird flu hasn’t reached COVID-19 proportions yet. But reporting on the subject has increased in intensity and frequency in recent weeks, which forces the speculation that this could be the next “thing” in the endless litany of terrors used by the corporate state to consolidate social control. Continue reading

The Push to Normalize Weird Sexuality in the Church is Increasing at an Alarming Rate

“The goal for Sprinkle is to transform the Church’s attitude toward the LGBTQ movement and cause the Church to see LGBTQ people as people who have been mistreated by churches and society rather than as people who are committing a grave offense against their Creator who are in need of repentance and salvation.”

(The Dissenter) The LGBTQ movement in America has been striving for decades to promote the acceptance of homosexuality and other abnormal sexual behaviors. Sexual immorality, in all of its forms, has been present in every major society throughout history, as per historical and biblical accounts. However, as we see all throughout Scripture, it has also repeatedly been the cause of God’s wrath. Continue reading

The sudden turn of events that could derail Trump’s indictment

(Greg Jarrett) “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime,” was the infamous boast of Joseph Stalin’s ruthless secret police chief, Lavrentiy Beria. His modus operandi was to target any man the Soviet dictator chose and then find or fabricate a crime against him.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has taken a page out of Stalin’s playbook and targeted Donald Trump. Driven by personal and political animus, the DA presumed the former president must be guilty of something. It was just a matter of devoting enough time and resources to hunt down the crime. Failing to find one, Bragg copied Beria’s paradigm and simply dreamed one up. Continue reading

Bethel Worship Service May Look Vibrant, But It’s An Empty Shell Of Death

“If the work of the Trinity in salvation isn’t enough to bring the dry bones of a dead church back to life, then neither will your music, your ecstatic experiences, and your emotional experiences.”

(The Dissenter) Have you ever witnessed a worship service at Bethel Church? The air is electric, the music booms, the chords resonate with your soul. It’s a sensory experience that can cause you to feel like you’ve reached the height of existence…. Continue reading

Russell Moore Speaker at ‘The Gospel For Enneagram Summit’ + Joined By Some Legit Heretics

“Moore is joined by a slew of enneagram teachers, but one person we wanted to highlight is Suzanne Stabile, another keynote speaker. Can she faithfully teach on the intersection of the gospel and the enneagram?”

(Protestia) A year after Russell Moore helped advance false claims that the enneagram has ‘Christian roots,’ and four months after he and Beth Moore shared their enneagram personalities, the former ERLC President and current Editor in Chief at Christianity Today is scheduled to be a speaker at ‘The Gospel For Enneagram Summit.’ Continue reading

‘I Just Want to Feel Like Myself,’ Tearfully Admits America’s Most Famous ‘Trans Kid’ Jazz Jennings

(Megan Fox – PJ Media) There are a lot of deeply disturbing and unlikeable members of the trans cult. Jazz Jennings is not one of them. Transitioned by his mother at the tender age of five. By the age of eleven, Jazz was on puberty blockers. At 17, even though a minor, Jazz underwent multiple genital surgeries to remove his penis and have it inverted. This process was botched and several attempts were made to remedy it, but the reduced size of Jazz’s penis due to years on puberty blockers made an already brutal surgery even worse. Continue reading

Rick Warren Says Denying Women the Pastorate is Racist and Saddleback Will Appeal Disfellowship to Fight the ‘Inquisition’

“Rick Warren is just fine teaching people things under the authority of scripture that he is not confident are actually correct. One wonders which of Warren’s teachings he is okay being uncertain about – could he be wrong about the deity of Christ? The virgin birth? Could he be wrong about his purported belief in salvation by faith alone?”

(David Morrill) Perhaps no single individual has done as much to stunt the spiritual growth of and sear the modern American evangelical conscience than Rick Warren. With his Peter Drucker-mentored corporatization of the church, his Schuller-inspired, man-pleasing “gospel,” and his endless ability to taint every so-called solid minister to include John Piper and Al Mohler on his way to becoming the king of dollar store, bargain bin Christianity, Rick Warren’s career has been nothing short of infamous. Continue reading

Altered States of Consciousness in Bible, believes Bible Project’s Tim Mackie

(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) Altered State of Consciousness: A meditative or drug-induced non-ordinary state of mind. In a religious context, a state where the seeker is drawn out of his normal thinking processes into “self-realization” or contact with what he considers the divine or divine wisdom.[1]

Tim Mackie is pastor and co-founder of the highly influential Bible Project. You may not have heard of Mackie and Bible Project, but your kids or grandkids certainly have. Mackie has become an advocate of the deceptive and anti-biblical meditation known as contemplative prayer…. Continue reading

Kari Lake Speaks to Rasmussen Poll Which Suggests She Won

“At the risk of being like all the climate change cult false prophets, I believe Kari Lake will win this legal battle and be the first governor ever sworn into office after proven systematic election fraud. Whether Democrats or RINO Republicans are ever prosecuted for this obvious charade will remain to be seen. Whether she wins this before the Arizona Supreme Court or the Supreme Court of the United States is the only question remaining in my mind. Her proof of election interference is conclusive.”

(Mark Schwendau) Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, who narrowly lost the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election, declared Friday (March 17) that she and two other GOP candidates, who also came up short, actually “won,” according to a new poll by Rasmussen. Continue reading

‘Christianity and Liberalism’ at 100

“Machen reminds his readers that it’s important for Christians to know what Christianity truly is. “Christianity cannot subsist unless men know what Christianity is; and the fair and logical thing is to learn what Christianity is, not from its opponents, but from those who themselves are Christians.”

(Chris Queen – PJ Media) I don’t remember how it came to my attention, but last summer, I downloaded the audiobook of J. Gresham Machen’s Christianity and Liberalism. I know, I know; it’s not exactly breezy summer reading (or listening), but I definitely don’t regret it. It’s worth pointing out that this year is the 100th anniversary of this landmark work. Continue reading

God Determines the Role of Women in the Church, Not Personal Preference or Culture

“Many churches are allowing women to hold positions reserved for men by finding new interpretations of Scripture completely unheard of in the whole of Church history before the last quarter of the 20th Century.”

Genesis 5: 1-This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 2-Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam [man or mankind], in the day when they were created. Continue reading
