Pastors Or Political Activists: What Happens To A Church That Rejects The Authority Of Scripture?

The pastor derisively refers to “the magical blood of Jesus.” He says he doesn’t believe in miracles — not even the Lord’s resurrection. In a sermon transcript posted to the church website, he called God’s justice “a tantrum. … If God wants to hurt me and hurts Jesus instead, I still have a guy with an anger problem.” He equates the “recognition of evil” with “hate.” And he openly mocks the idea that Jesus died for our sins. At heart, the pastor seems to be a political activist.

Deception

A Problem With Pastors: Why Compromise On Genesis Undermines The Foundation Of The Gospel Itself

Fewer than one-fourth of the 36 schools that responded were clearly young-earth creationist, and most of them were quite small seminaries. In their M. Div. programs for future pastors, only two had a required course on Genesis that addressed the creation-evolution issue. Three others had an elective on Genesis, but one of those didn’t address the creation-evolution controversy. Only three had a required course on apologetics, and one of those didn’t address the origins debate. Again, the main problem is that most pastors have never recognized and carefully considered the foundational issues at stake here. Few books provide pastors with clear arguments explaining why compromise on the history of Genesis 1–11 undermines people’s trust in the truth, clarity, and authority of Scripture, and ultimately undermines the foundation of the gospel itself.

James Talarico’s ‘Pastor’ Says Christ ‘Didn’t Die To Save Our Sins,’ Questions Whether Jesus Ever Existed

Undercover footage has exposed the teachings of a lesbian minister from Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate—and aspiring pastor—James Talarico’s home church. The minister, who reportedly uses “they/them” pronouns, claimed Christ “didn’t die to save our sins,” condemned God as “a vengeful, killing-people kind of God,” and questioned whether Jesus ever existed. “Jesus was political,” she said. “Jesus was put on that cross, not to save us; Jesus was put on that cross because Rome hated Him and they thought He was a threat to their domination of that area. And so they killed Him. He didn’t die to save our sins. That makes a whole lot more sense to me than to say that some God would kill His Son for us. That doesn’t make sense. How does that make up for all the things I can do? No, it doesn’t.”

An Anything But Christ Culture: When You Say ‘I’m A Christian,’ You Can Expect Pushback, Resistance, And Persecution

Christians have been persecuted more than any other religious group. And it’s not just confined to atheistic or Islamic countries. We’re starting to see more and more persecution in the United States. We see it in the woke ideology that has infiltrated our education system. We see it permeating the military. We see it being spread by the media. I describe it as an “ABC culture”: Anything But Christ. When you stand up and say, “I’m a Christian,” you can expect pushback, resistance, and even persecution. Paul said, “Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12). That’s a promise of God we rarely claim.

DHS Investigates 1,620 Cases Of Suspected Noncitizen Voting As 300,000 More Are Under Review

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Saturday that DHS is investigating 1,620 cases involving suspected illegal voting by noncitizens, with another 300,000 cases under review. Mullin disclosed the figures during an appearance on Fox News with Kayleigh McEnany, saying the number of cases being examined continues to increase as federal officials compare state voter-registration records against immigration and citizenship databases.

Why Are Evangelical Leaders Endorsing Dr. Hugh Ross’ Unbiblical And Unscientific Nonsense?

These endorsements have encouraged millions of Christians to accept the big bang theory as proven fact and the evolutionist view of 4.6 billion years of earth history. Accepting that evolutionary “history” includes rejecting the global Flood of Noah and accepting millions of years of animal disease, death, and extinction, and other natural evils, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and asteroid impacts. Why are his endorsing evangelical leaders not recognizing this as unbiblical and unscientific nonsense? Because they are wowed by his PhD in astrophysics and they don’t read carefully.

Biblical Illiteracy: One Of The Greatest Dangers Facing The Evangelical Church Today

One of the greatest dangers facing the evangelical church today may not be persecution from the outside, but Biblical illiteracy on the inside. We live in an age when Christians have unprecedented access to Scripture. The Bible is available in print, online, through apps, podcasts, audio Bibles, and countless translations. Yet access to the Bible does not necessarily mean knowledge of the Bible.

The Rise Of Generative AI Has Filled The Information Space With A New Form Of Propaganda

In our modern day, the inventive genius of man has perfected a machinery of communication which, through speeding up and extending the influence of information and ideas, has given propagandists an efficient system to bombard the masses with their message. However, the rise of generative AI has now filled the information space with a new, unique, and somewhat unwanted form of propaganda: "slopaganda."

Did Ancient Humans Do Nothing for 100,000 Years? — Here’s Why This Evolutionary Claim Is Ridiculous

According to the popular science article, “[The cave] was used by Denisovans for more than 100,000 years.” So for 100,000 years, these “early humans” simply lived in a cave, hunting and gathering with simple stone tools. For 100,000 years. They didn’t invent farming; they didn’t significantly increase their technology. They didn’t go and explore and settle new areas. They just lived in this cave, eating the same things and using the same tools, for millennia after millennia after millennia. Have you ever stopped and thought about what a ridiculous claim that is?

Head Of Church Of England Gives—Then Rescinds—Peace Award To Imam Who Praised Osama Bin Laden

The head of the Church of England has rescinded an interfaith award given to a Muslim cleric on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks after public outcry about the Imam’s praise of Osama bin Laden, the architect of the terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people.

House Report Exposes Democratic Fundraising Platform’s ‘Unserious Approach To Fraud Prevention’

Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue displayed an “unserious approach to fraud prevention” in the 2024 election, concluded three committees of the U.S. House of Representatives in a report issued Wednesday. The Committee on House Administration, House Judiciary Committee, and House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform issued a third interim report on ActBlue’s fraud liability because more evidence of malpractice kept coming to light.

Looking Beyond Today’s Lawlessness And Corruption To Our Ultimate Hope

We live at a time like no other; everywhere we look, we see signs telling us that the disasters of Revelation 6:1-8 are ever so close. The catastrophic events so far in 2026 point to the start of this time of judgment on the near horizon and, therefore, to Jesus’ soon appearing. If ever there was a time for excitement from the recognition that Jesus’ appearing is ever so close, this is it. Someday, perhaps very soon, our wait will end.

The Dangers Of The ‘Interfaith’ Movement—And Where The Bible Says It Is Heading

Revelation 17 describes “the great prostitute” who will wreak havoc in the last days. The prostitute is the image John uses to refer to the one-world religion that will dominate the end times. Because of the imagery John uses, it’s hard to say what the false religion will teach. But it’s likely that it will combine the teachings of various major existing religions. Or that it will just gloss over the differences between religions and declare them all to be equally valid. Sound familiar?

Christian Leaders Warn: Talarico’s Whole Platform Is Using The Bible To Support Godless Things

A video of Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico calling Islam and Christianity “equal pathways to truth” resurfaced and has been making the rounds on social media, along with comments equating the God of the Bible with gods of other religions. But Talarico, who has been using his faith as a central part of his campaigning and was described by Politico as an “aspiring preacher,” seems to differ with Jesus.

Democrats Walk Back Support For House Candidate Who Wished Death To MAGA Supporters

Among the posts drawing attention was a message Headen published on X in August 2024, shortly after then-Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee. “I’m so excited! Ready for the MAGAs to die off!!” she wrote. Another post appeared to advocate an attack on US soil, specifically targeting states with large conservative populations. “I think our only hope is an attack on US Soil … preferably Alabama, Louisiana … where the stupid people live,” Headen wrote. Another post suggested Trump supporters belonged in concentration camps.

‘Without Excuse’: From A Child To A Genius, Intelligent Design Is Common Sense

Let’s say you were walking along a beach and saw a message written in the sand: “Johnny, make sure you come home at 5:00 p.m. for dinner. See you then. I love you. Mom.” Could you ever believe that the order of the words happened by a random process—by sheer accident? Could you conclude that perhaps the incoming waves left the words written in the sand? I seriously doubt it. Their very order and their constructed logical coherency tell you that the message was written by an intelligent mind. However, atheistic evolution takes an even greater leap away from common sense than just believing that a wave created a logical message...

As ‘Replacement Theology’ Pervades Christian Circles, God’s Word Tells An Astonishingly Different Story

God used Jewish prophets to reveal Himself. His priceless words tell the true account of creation, how to live in civilized society (the Mosaic Law), and His intervention in the lives of ordinary people. He used Jewish eyewitnesses in the New Testament Gospels, Acts, the epistles, and the book of Hebrews (1:1–2) to reveal Himself in Christ. In Revelation, He prophetically detailed the end-times and how He specifically will use His Jewish witnesses. From beginning to end, God loves the Jewish people with an everlasting love (Jer. 31:3).

Don’t Be Fooled: James Talarico Is Not The Moderate He Desperately Portrayed Himself To Be On Fox News

It’s not possible to say that Talarico has moderated any of his views based on the statements made in this interview, but they are illuminating all the same. As a politician trying to win an election in challenging territory, he is executing the strategy of pivoting to the center. He understands how damaging these past radical statements on gender and sexuality are, and he is trying to erect a hasty shield to protect himself from incoming fire. Talarico may not have changed his beliefs, but he has certainly felt the heat.

Creating Villains: Is The Media Publishing News Or Crafting Elaborate Fairy Tales?

Have you ever noticed that there is a predictable pattern used by the media to introduce moral panic throughout a nation’s population? Enemies are cast, fear and anger swell, and swift retribution against the offending party is demanded. Of course, like any good tale, it begins with a villain. Christianity is the folk devil of the day, the media gets ahold of a story, distorted the message and provoked outrage in the community.

UC Irvine Lecturer Makes Apparent Endorsement Of Violence Against Nick Shirley

A UC Irvine lecturer is under scrutiny after allegedly posting comments about a planned appearance by conservative journalist Nick Shirley that critics say appeared to invoke the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Karl Marx, The State, And The People: No False Gospel Is Complete Without A False god

No false gospel is complete without a false god—something humans set up in God’s place as the authority for truth. Though Marx (and many of his followers) espoused atheism, Marxism still harbors such false gods. One is the Marxist ideology itself, which communist regimes have revered as the ultimate “truth” to which people must conform. Two other interrelated false gods are the State and the People. Marx thought the State would be a temporary dictatorship comprised of the working class after their revolution. In theory, the State would eventually “wither away,” leaving the People to rule themselves as their own collective “god.”

Barna Research Finds Shared Concern Over AI Misinterpreting Scripture, Being Used To Determine Theology

Ask a chatbot about a disputed Bible verse and you may get a tidy answer. Ask America’s pastors about the AI response, and you get a warning: That tidy answer could be a real problem. The Barna Group recently highlighted findings from two surveys, conducted in partnership with Gloo for the State of the Church initiative, that land on a common concern. Artificial intelligence misinterpreting Scripture is a shared worry for 74% of U.S. adults. Among practicing Christians, the figure climbs to 83%, and for pastors, it reaches 94%. Even 77% of non-practicing Christians say they are concerned.

Socialism Relies On A Fairy-tale View Of Human Nature… And Christians Shouldn’t Be Naive

Socialism relies on an unrealistic, fairy-tale view of human nature. Its creators believed that humans are naturally perfect and that things like greed and selfishness are only caused by a bad economic system. If you just get rid of private property and let the government run things, they argued, everyone will suddenly become selfless and cooperative. The Bible completely destroys this idea. Scripture tells us that our problems don't come from external systems; they come from inside our own hearts. Jeremiah 17:9 says: "The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it?"

Doom And Gloom: Apprehension Toward Bible Prophecy Is Built On A Profound Misunderstanding

Doom and gloom? That’s how many think of the book of Revelation. Oftentimes, Christians shy away from the study of prophecy because they believe it is too complex or irrelevant to spend time examining. But this is not true. Revelation gives us insight into things that will come to pass and helps us understand the things that are happening in our world. It gives us heavenly insight on what the future holds and changes our perspective as we go through our everyday lives.

Former Senior USCIS Immigration Officer Charged For Taking Almost $1 Million In Bribes For Citizenship

Strong Christian Teens Are Feeling The ‘Tension’ Of The Culture’s Contrasting Worldview, Barna Research Highlights

The more these students dig into God’s Word and attempt to apply Scripture to the issues of our day, the more they notice that the two worldviews can’t be reconciled. Well, that’s Biblical! And that’s what I’ve found in my extensive travels when meeting many young people at the various events where I speak. When I travel and speak, I find teenagers are hungry for answers. They want to know how their faith applies to the issues of our day, they want answers for how they can know the Bible is trustworthy, and they want to be equipped to refute today’s secular thinking.

How A Nation Shaped By Biblical Truth Turned Into A Nation That Has Cast Aside The Influence Of The Church

From its founding, national leadership understood the critical need to recognize God and safeguard religious liberty; it was for this reason that America’s third President, Thomas Jefferson, wrote a letter to the Danbury Baptists, who were being persecuted by the state of Connecticut. It was from this letter that the words “building a wall of separation between Church & State” were first mentioned. Today, the words “separation between Church & State” have been stripped of all their original meaning. The phrase intended to prevent the government from stifling the church has been warped to insist that the church must be stifled from exerting any influence in government and the direction of political culture.

The Assertion That Bible Prophecy Is ‘Tertiary’ Has Caused Considerable Damage Within The Body Of Christ

The general assumption in many Bible-believing churches is that Bible prophecy is far too controversial and divisive for it to be taught. A few churches in my area openly state on their websites that the subject is “tertiary,” or less important than other matters of our faith. Sadly, most pastors and believers agree that Bible prophecy is tertiary, which Merriam-Webster defines as “of third rank, importance, or value.”

Court Packing Is Not ‘Reform’—It Is A Threat To Judicial Independence

There is a dangerous temptation in American politics to believe that every political problem can be solved by winning one more vote. If the Supreme Court issues decisions that a political party dislikes, why not simply change the number of justices and appoint new ones? Congress has the constitutional authority to determine the size of the Court, after all. Why not use that authority?

Nick Shirley Sues California For Squelching Freedom Of The Press

Investigative journalist Nick Shirley, whose reporting exposed government waste, fraud and harmful immigration policies, filed a lawsuit challenging a California law that criminalizes publishing images of or personal information about immigration support services providers.

The Transhumanist Push: Should We Update God’s Design?

Modern transhumanists are saying to the Lord of life, “Actually, I can do better.” We know God has condemned such impulses, for He condemned Satan for tempting Eve when he told her, “You will be like God” (Genesis 3:5). This may sound extreme, but it’s the kind of thinking that undergirds much of the transhumanist movement. Do Christians really support these goals? At what point does the desire to overcome the effects of the Fall go too far? It’s hard to say. Drawing a hard line between healing and enhancement will not be easy. But the question is important because human beings should not try to meddle with their very nature.

Utterly Unbiblical: ‘Pastor’ Claims God Had A Wife That Was Worshipped By Ancient Israel, Condemns Destruction Of Idols

What happens when you reject God’s Word as your authority and instead base your thinking on fallen man’s fallible word? Well, you might end up standing in a church pulpit and telling your congregation that God had a wife and that King Josiah was wrong for destroying the Asherah poles. Yes, this “pastor” really claims the Israelites worshipped Yahweh as God along with Asherah as a female god, and that no one had a problem with it for a very long time. He then bemoans how hard it must have been for the Israelite women and girls when King Josiah ordered the Asherah poles to be chopped down—who would they now look up to and pray to without a “queen of heaven”?

Forcing Radicalism On The Record: House GOP Push to Keep Supreme Court at Nine Justices Fails in Floor Vote

House Speaker Mike Johnson said the vote was meant to draw a clear line against court-packing efforts, warning that expanding the bench would turn the judiciary into another political battleground. “We will keep the nine,” Johnson said ahead of the vote, arguing that the nine-justice model has served the country well and should not be altered to satisfy partisan frustrations with recent Supreme Court rulings.
