The Lessons from Bethel’s lack of Resurrection
Despite the fact that Bethel may in fact be way worse than Hillsong, they have yet to have ever been addressed. Bethel is a very charismatic megachurch based in Redding, California. There was a two-year-old who tragically died that was the child of someone high up in ministry. This prompted the organization to push for […]
One does not simply ignore the Bible on a singular issue
In the Evangelical world, the battle against egalitarianism in the church is once more returning to a full boil as it did decades ago. Egalitarianism, in this context, believes that men and women are interchangeable in all ministerial functions. We saw this a few weeks ago with John MacArthur’s “Go home” comments directed at Beth […]
Pope Francis doesn’t deny accusations of adoptionism, docetism
Over a year and a half ago, we reported on Pope Francis supporting annihilationism, the idea that the unrepentant are not sent to Hell, in one of three concerning news stories surrounding him at that time. The belief which was not denied by the Vatican was the most concerning. The accusation of the Pope believing […]
The dangers of theological amateurism
This is not a hot take; it’s a late take. Sometimes it’s better to let the people who are better at reacting quickly do so, rather than rushing to react while a particular story is trendy. The departing of Marty Sampson, one of the most influential figures in contemporary worship music, was revealing of a […]
Why we are right to be skeptical of Kanye’s conversion
This is a topic I have wanted to address for weeks, especially since I documented how the Sunday Service promoted the Popularity Gospel with Rick Wilkerson Jr giving the message that presented Jesus in an idolatrous way, using soteriological passages to convey a message of self-improvement rather than salvation. Since then, however, there has been […]
Catholic Twitter celebrates worship of Mary
It’s not every day that I take twitter polls seriously, but there was a large Catholic discussion I stumbled upon that was a wake up call to just how prominent the Marian Heresy, Mariolatry, remains within the Catholic church today. Stefanie Nicholas, a Catholic writer for OnePeterFive, polled her followers on the subject. https://twitter.com/StefMNicholas/status/1175824686439116807?s=20 The fact […]
Lecrae’s Jordan River baptism is unbiblical
The rapper known as Lecrae posted a baptism video on Instagram and Twitter touting his upcoming album. The social media post sparked conversation on baptism and the merits of getting baptized more than once. Many comments had assumed that Lecrae, who has for years marketed himself as a Christian had already been baptized. Others tout […]
The Evangelical Dark Web
The battle for the soul of the evangelical church in the United States spans across the remaining denominations that have not openly fallen into apostasy. The United Methodist Church was saved by the African delegations from rejecting biblical ministry standards. The Southern Baptist Convention struggles to reject critical race theory. Many denominations have split over […]
The Popularity Gospel of Kanye West’s Sunday Service
For months now, Kanye West has rebranded his reputation as a more spiritual musician after comments about being used by Candace Owens. He has launched a series of concerts he calls Sunday Service. But the concerts contain a plethora of gospel music and a number of collaborations. The Sunday Service has been kept under wraps […]
Demise of LifeWay: Changing times or because they peddled heresy?
It’s not the best of times to be a book store in 2019. Amazon crushed much of the competition. Still, Lifeway remained the retail branch of the Southern Baptist Convention until its announced closure of all of its stores back in March. The brand will continue to operate online. The SBC is embattled with confusion and […]
