(The Dissenter) The Church of England (CoE), also known as the Anglican Church, was established in the 16th century as a result of King Henry VIII’s desire to divorce his wife, Catherine of Aragon. When the Pope refused to annul their marriage, Henry broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and established the Church of England, with himself as its head. In the centuries that followed, the Church of England was closely tied to the British monarchy and the state and was known for its conservative theology and strong opposition to religious dissent.

Nancy Pelosi’s Exorcism
“The woman who wants to be known as “a woman of great power … a woman of great influence” called in the priests over Thanksgiving to expunge the bad spirits of great power and influence in her household left over by the “QAnon” guy on October 28, 2022.”
(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) Nancy Pelosi has at long last experienced a spasm of guilt over her tenure as the Best Catholic in America, America’s Mother, or whatever else she calls herself to get through the day. But it turns out she has humbled herself enough to ask for help to make things right. Sort of. Continue reading
Is the apostate church in our time the scarlet woman?
1 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: This is what He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, says: ‘I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of My God. Revelation 3:1-2 (LSB)
When my dad died in 2010 I inherited my grandfather’s Bible. My grandfather was a remarkable man. He was born in 1877 and became a preacher of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in the 1890’s in Indian Territory, which is now Oklahoma. My grandfather preached from this Bible well into the 1950’s. It is full of notes and his own cross-references. However, there is one thing in the Bible that no one, apparently, knew was there….

FBI Russia Hoaxer Arrested for Russian Graft
Charles McGonigal was the one colluding with Russia, not Donald Trump, whom he was investigating.
(Nate Jackson – The Patriot Post) Call out if you had “FBI agent colludes with Russia” on your BINGO card.
Charles McGonigal isn’t a household name, but maybe he should be. The former FBI section chief was instrumental in launching Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI probe into whether candidate Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election. Naturally, the one who actually colluded with Russia was McGonigal. Continue reading
The Menace of Sensationalizing the Gospel
“Sensationalism has nothing to do with the truth of scripture or the transformed life of the believer. It is a cheap and sleazy imitation of Christianity, focused solely on miracles, entertainment, and drawing crowds.”
(The Dissenter) The proliferation of sensationalism in the contemporary Christian landscape is a dire and ominous phenomenon that threatens to undermine the very foundations of the faith itself. From the gaudy spectacle of circus acts on Sunday mornings, to the saccharine and emotionally manipulative strains of worship music, to the self-aggrandizing oratory of charlatan preachers, to the sideshow antics of so-called faith-healers like Todd White, the use of cheap tricks and shallow appeals to emotion has become all too common in the effort to sell Christianity to the masses. Continue reading
‘Gay clubs’ run in seminaries, says Pope Benedict in posthumous attack on Francis
“The outpouring of new books contributes to “impressions of a mounting civil war in the Church following the death of Benedict XVI”, according to John Allen, a leading Vatican analyst who writes for Crux, the Catholic news outlet.”
(Nick Saquires – The Telegraph) Gay “clubs” operate openly in Catholic seminaries, the institutions that prepare men for the priesthood, the late Pope Benedict XVI has claimed in a posthumously published book scathing of Pope Francis’s progressive agenda. Continue reading
Mars Ditches WOKE All-Female M&Ms Over Right-Wing Rebellion
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Candy maker Mars replaced the sexy, women-empowerment M&M “spokes candies” with actress Maya Rudolph. The all-female M&Ms were annoying many people, not just the right wing.
Last January, M&Ms introduced WOKE, and there was a backlash. People don’t want politicized candies.
Maya Rudolph will star in the candy brand’s upcoming Super Bowl commercial, not the spokes candies. Continue reading
As For The One Who Is Weak In Faith, Welcome Him, But Not To Quarrel Over Opinions
15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. Titus 1:15 (LSB)
I am constantly amazed at the diversity I witness in the believers who interact with this ministry. This, of course, displays Christ’s power to bring together in unity dissimilar people from every place on this planet and from all walks of life. Part of our sanctification is dealing with our unredeemed flesh…. Continue reading
Doug Wilson and Jared Moore Debate Concupiscence and Homosexuality
The YouTube video of the debate between Wilson and Moore, plus Evangelical Dark Web’s summary of the debate, is on the site. Below is Jon Harris’s podcast interview with Jared Moore, Is Same-Sex Attraction A Sin? that led to the debate. We also provide a link to a podcast where Jon examines what the Bible teaches about same-sex attraction.
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Doug Wilson has been involved in a controversy surrounding his views on concupiscence as it relates to homosexuality. Pastor Jared Moore has called out Doug Wilson for having a view that essentially had some of the same adopted premises and application as Side B theology…. Continue reading
Is ‘Pride’ the Woke World Version of the ‘Mark of the Beast’?
By the way, the gay pride movement’s co-opting of the rainbow as a symbol flies in the face of God’s promise in the Bible. God gave us the rainbow as a promise that He would never flood the earth as he did in the days of Noah…
(Chris Queen – PJ Media) “And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.” Revelation 13:15-17 (ESV) Continue reading
Democrat-led cities are already moving forward with gas stove bans that will affect millions
Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said in 2021 if his city could ban natural gas, ‘any city can do the same’
(Thomas Catenacci – Fox News) Democratic leaders in major cities nationwide have already moved forward with bans on natural gas stoves even as the Biden administration has pumped the brakes on similar regulations at the federal level.
Cities including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and New York City — which are collectively home to more than 10 million Americans — have enacted varying restrictions on natural gas hookups impacting gas-powered furnaces, ovens and stoves. Continue reading
New Body-Worn Camera Footage from J6 Supports Calls for Release of All Video
“The Department of Justice and news media have carefully controlled the narrative, portraying protesters as the perpetrators of violence rather than the victims, while justifying the fatalities of four Trump supporters on January 6.”
(Julie Kelly) Body-worn camera footage obtained by American Greatness of a D.C. Metropolitan police officer on duty on January 6, 2021, shows the chaos unfolding in real-time that day and how law enforcement’s response to the protest led to rising tension and deadly violence. Continue reading
Prayer
1 And it happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples.” 2 And He said to them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.’” Luke 11:1-4 (LSB)
Prayer is a vital part of our Christian walk before the face of God. I have never met a mature Christian who was at peace with the consistency or depth of his or her praying. Sacred Scripture says that God commands His people to pray. I have often wondered why God wants us to pray since He knows everything already. He knows what we need already the Word says, so why should we have to pray, asking Him for what we need?… Continue reading
Transgenderism as the Conduit for the Persecution of the Church
“This is not a mere lifestyle choice, it is an assault on the very foundations of our society. It is a threat to the mental and moral well-being of our children, and a direct attack on the traditional values and beliefs that have shaped our civilization for centuries.”
(The Dissenter) The transgender movement is an affront to the very foundations of logic, reason, and nature. It is a brazen rejection of one of the most fundamental truths of Creation: that God, in His infinite wisdom and power, made us male and female. Continue reading
It’s Over, Joe: New York Times Throws Joe Biden Under the Bus
(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) The New York Times has long ago abandoned any pretense of being an actual news source and has settled into its role as the foremost propaganda arm of the hard Left, capitalizing upon the fact that there is still a considerable number of people in the U.S. and around the world who still think that the Times can be trusted to report events impartially and accurately. In reality, the only thing the Times is good for is revealing what the political and media elites are thinking, and a Friday opinion piece dropped a bombshell, in the Times’ muted, bloodless Voice-of-the-Ages manner: the Leftist establishment is through with Old Joe Biden. Watch for him to be replaced as the Democratic presidential nominee in 2024, and he could be gone even sooner. Continue reading
PCUSA Supplied Children To Homosexual Pedophile Ring
“…the apostate church has blood on their hands for supplying children to this house of horrors. And this all stems from their promotion of homosexuality, in direct contrast with God’s word.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Last summer a story of a pair of homosexuals molesting the children they adopted made headlines, only to be forgotten. This past week, Townhall’s Mia Cathell has unveiled a series of reports that have opened this story to the wider scrutiny it deserved. Was the tragic horror story of two homosexual molesting children they were allowed to adopt the natural result of Obergefell? The Zulocks are certainly evidence attributable to this conclusion. Continue reading
Elon Musk felt like he ‘was dying’ after 2nd COVID booster shot, cousin in ‘peak health’ suffered myocarditis
“First mRNA booster was ok, but the second one crushed me.”
(Lawrence Richard – Fox News) Elon Musk took to Twitter late Friday evening to share his personal experience with the second COVID booster shot, explaining he ran into “major side effects.”
In a series of tweets, the Twitter CEO said he felt like he “was dying” and that a cousin of his in “peak health” suffered myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart which is listed as a possible side effect of some coronavirus vaccines. Continue reading
Federal agencies withholding data behind pilot heart condition change, COVID vax stroke reversal
FAA says “new scientific evidence” justified widening acceptable range for heart rhythms. Medical experts disagree whether change is “shocking” or “benign and practical” given pilot shortage. CDC called out for changing methodology to “get the result you want.”
(Greg Piper – Just the News) Federal agencies are withholding the data behind recent decisions that relate or may relate to COVID-19 vaccines and severe adverse events, fueling speculation that they are putting both vaccinated and unvaccinated lives at risk. Continue reading
Promise Kept: McCarthy Gives Plum Committee Seats to Freedom Caucus Members
“…the House is populated with dozens of fierce Ron Paul mini-me’s, many of whom are now in positions to make a real difference thanks to the concessions extracted from McCarthy. To his credit, McCarthy has so far played the part of a cheerful warrior, willing to keep his word despite the often bitter back-and-forth that characterized the nomination and election process.”
(Steve Bonta – The New American) In yet another positive development in the new 118th Congress, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has so far kept his promise to appoint Freedom Caucus members — including those who opposed his candidacy for speaker — to key committee seats…. Continue reading
Blame Mexico
“It really was infuriating to watch the three amigos standing side-by-side playing their cynical game. Nothing will get better on the border or with drug interdiction until Washington holds Obrador and his crew accountable….”
(Bill O’Reilly} As the South Park wise guys surely understand, the three amigos exposition in Mexico City last week was a total farce. I hope Biden, Trudeau, and Obrador got some good meals out of it, at least. I mean, all this working together for the good of the people stuff is a cruel lie…. Continue reading
Beth Moore Chastises Christians Who Publicly Humiliate Heretics
“Writing articles or sharing pictures or memes of why Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copeland, or some false teacher who says he’s the second coming of Christ, is a virtue, not a vice, and is a work of the spirit. The fact that she’s mad about it is very, very telling.”
(Protestia) Days after Beth Moore took exception to Jonathan Edwards’s sermon ‘Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God’ for very BethMoorish reasons, she took to Twitter to chastise those who would publicly humiliate heretics and share pictures and memes about why they are so bad. Continue reading
Voddie Baucham Exposes Gay Attack on Churches, Rips Pastors Who Fall For It
(The Dissenter) “What do you call a person who’s in a fight and doesn’t know it? The Loser.” That was what Voddie Baucham said during a recent interview with Tom Ascol on the Founders podcast referring to the fight that the Church is in against the cultural invasion of sexual immorality.
Voddie Baucham and Tom Ascol discussed the attempt by the homosexual community to infiltrate and influence churches. Voddie explained how some churches are being deceived by the idea of “democracy” and are giving in to the demands of the queer political left. Continue reading
Peter’s Sermon at Pentecost
14 But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them: “Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words. 15 For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is the third hour of the day; 16 but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: Acts 2:14-21 (LSB) Read verses 17-21 on the site.
Thus began the Apostle Peter’s sermon following the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost just 10 days following our Lord’s Ascension. I am going to walk through this sermon with you so that we can see how the Gospel works when preached with power and with the right focus. Who is being glorified in vv14-21 above?… Continue reading
The Gospel Coalition’s Tim Keller Publishes Cultural Marxism Manifesto
“[Keller] leans heavily on leftist church historians, such as pro-LGBTQ egalitarian Kristin Kobes du Mez to spin the history of the American Church as racist and anti-intellectual. The latter three chapters utilize Keller’s faux history and critical theories from the first three chapters of the book to propose some truly leftist visions of the future American church.”
(Paul Brown) Leftist theologian and The Gospel Coalition founder Tim Keller is known for his cryptic tweets. He has a habit of speaking in a way that baits conservatives into calling him out and claiming that they misunderstood his tweets or his motives. Over the past few years, it has become apparent to objective observers that Keller has smuggled a number of leftist ideas into the church under the guise of social justice and winsome pragmatism. Continue reading
Combating False Teaching: The Essential Duty of Pastors in Defending the Church
“It is a two-fold duty for every pastor to study the Scriptures: not only to properly shepherd the flock of Christ but also to defend against wolves in sheep’s clothing, false teachers who seek to lead the faithful astray. This is an important duty and one that should not be neglected.”
(The Dissenter) As a faithful steward of the gospel, it is the sacred duty of every pastor to combat the proliferation of false doctrine within the church. This is the urgent exhortation the Apostle Paul gave to his young protégé Timothy in the opening verses of the first epistle bearing his name…. Continue reading
