“If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth” (1 John 1:6). Those who deny the reality of their sin affirm the unreality of their salvation. Ours is a society that rejects the concept of individual responsibility. People blame society, their parents, their genes—anything but their own actions and choices—for their problems. The biblical teaching that all people are responsible for breaking God’s holy law is scoffed at as primitive, unsophisticated, and harmful to a healthy self-esteem. Even some who claim to be Christians refuse to...

For the vast majority of modern history, women have outnumbered men when it comes to who shows up most often at church. In fact, many scholars have come to see it as something of a universal truth. However, the latest research for Gen Z men and women shows that pattern has started to change.As Ruth Graham describes, “For the first time in modern American history, young men are now more religious than their female peers. They attend services more often and are more likely to identify as religious.” And this trend appears to be unique to Gen Z, since men...

(Woke Preacher TV) A majority-black Delaware Baptist church announces its support for “Sarah” McBride, a Democrat who, if elected, would be the first transgender member of the House Of Representatives. Pastor C.T. Curry of Ezion Fair Baptist Church calls McBride a would-be “Congresswoman,” plugs the candidate’s campaign website for the purpose of donations, and says “I hope and trust that the Lord will give her favor.” McBride says he is an ordained Presbyterian elder. It’s unclear which denomination he belongs to, but an August article from CQ Roll Call says his family attends the PCUSA’s Westminster Presbyterian in Wilmington. Cribbed...

Erick Stakelbeck of ‪@TheWatchmanwithErickStakelbeck‬ joins Raj Nair to discuss the escalating Israel-Iran conflict and the ramifications of Islamic Republic’s enormous ballistic missile attack against Israel on October 1, 2024. As Israel vows retaliation, Bible experts and prophecy watchers are asking: is Bible prophecy unfolding in front of our eyes? Watch now on Can I Trust the Bible? on TBN!

“God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). God’s truthfulness and holiness are powerful motives not to sin. Light and darkness are familiar metaphors in Scripture. Intellectually, light refers to truth, and darkness to error; morally, light refers to holiness, and darkness to evil. Intellectually, the Bible reveals God as the God of truth. In Exodus 34:6 God described Himself to Moses as “The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth.” Both Psalm 31:5 and Isaiah 65:16 refer to Him as the “God of truth.”...

What do you get when you have a gaggle of female pastors in support of Kamala Harris? The answer is numerous attempts at justifying abortion. In a recent Evangelicals For Harris women’s “prayer call,” abortion became a top priority on why Evangelicals should support Kamala Harris for president. Evangelical Dark Web infiltrated the prayer call and has clips to unveil. The call was hosted by Lisa Sharon Harper who is a theologically liberal author with pronouns in bio. She runs the company Freedom Road which conducts struggle sessions. Panelists include Sandra Van Opstal, a female pastor; Patricia Ruiz Cantu, a...

Additional details are becoming known concerning the adultery and recent disqualification of former Trinity Bible Church pastor Steve Lawson. According to inside sources speaking to Protestia on condition of anonymity, the fixture in conservative, reformed evangelicalism was “living a double life in the heart of the reformed community.” The young woman Lawson developed an “inappropriate relationship” with is an alumnus of The Master’s University (TMU). However, the two did not meet because of Lawson’s role as head of the Doctor of Ministry program at The Master’s Seminary (TMS, which resides inside Grace Community Church, 17 miles south of the university),...

“If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us” (1 John 1:10). Confession is the first step toward defeating sin. It is often true that the hardest part of dealing with a problem is admitting that you have one. Beginning with Adam and Eve (Gen. 3:11-13), people have denied responsibility for their sins, and our generation is no exception. To acknowledge that one is a sinner, guilty of breaking God’s holy law, is not popular. People call sin by a myriad of other names, futilely hoping to define it...

Israel is currently preparing a crushing response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack against the Jewish State. However, is the IDF receiving unwelcome pushback from the United States over their battle plans? Will the Israeli Air Force use this opportunity to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities? Is a full-scale Middle East war inevitable? Watch now.

“But I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind, and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members” (Romans 7:23). Sin is the deadliest plague ever to affect mankind. Throughout history, deadly plagues have ravaged the human race. In just three years (1348-1350), the infamous “Black Death” (an outbreak of bubonic plague) killed half the population of Europe. In our own times, diseases such as AIDS have reached epidemic proportions. But there is one plague that is far deadlier than all the others...

Following our recent stories of NIFB pastor Steven Anderson’s son Isaac detailing vicious abuse and beating at the hands of his father, and then his other son John alleging years of abuse by his father against his mom, claiming he used to hit her and whip her with an electrical cord, a third Anderson child has come forward, with Miriam Anderson, 17, claiming that her home life was so bad, that “from the time that I was probably like 11 to 15, I thought about killing myself every day. And I remember even as a little kid praying that God...

The Lausanne Movement, founded in 1974, presents itself as a global evangelical network aimed at fulfilling the Great Commission. However, it has since evolved into a platform for globalist ideologies, aligning closely with organizations like the World Economic Forum. Prominent evangelical leaders within Lausanne, including false teachers such as Tim Keller, David Platt, and Rick Warren, push for social justice, wealth redistribution, and environmental activism. This movement subtly repackages Christianity to support a socialist agenda, undermining the true gospel in favor of worldly philosophies and a distorted social mission. The Lausanne Movement not only aligns with these globalist ideologies but...

Iran has directly fired hundreds of ballistic missiles at every corner of Israel. How will the IDF respond to this massive attack from the Iranian regime?

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Sin is pervasive and deadly. When the early church father Chrysostom remarked, “I fear nothing but sin,” he correctly identified sin as the greatest threat any person faces. Sin mars all the relationships people are involved in: with other people, with themselves, and, most significantly, with God. Sin causes suffering, disease, and death in the physical realm and also causes spiritual death—eternal separation from God in Hell. Because sin is so deadly, we need to carefully define it, so we can understand and avoid it. First...

Tensions along Israel’s northern border continue to ramp up as the IDF readies its troops for a ground operation in Lebanon. The Israeli military is currently entering Hezbollah tunnels, as the Middle East braces for war. What will the Iranian regime in Tehran do to aid its beleaguered, yet most valuable and deadly proxy? What prophetic implications does this impending cross border war carry? Join us today at 5:20pm Eastern time on our YouTube channel as we break down all the latest news out of Israel and what comes next.

“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God” (1 Corinthians 2:12). To be effective, spiritual gifts must be used in the power of the Holy Spirit, not in the power of the flesh. One of the constant battles all believers face is to avoid ministering their spiritual gifts in the power of the flesh. Even those of us who are called to be preachers (prophets) need to subject our spirits to other mature believers (1 Cor. 14:32). As a...

Israel has confirmed that it eliminated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a massive airstrike against the terror group’s headquarters in Beirut on Friday evening, along with a top commander for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. With Hamas in its death throes in Gaza and Hezbollah reeling in Lebanon, is Iran’s “Ring of Fire” strategy being smashed, even as the Yemen-based Houthis launch another missile at Israel today? And how will the Iranian regime react to these massive setbacks? Could we see a broader war? Watch now!

“But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good” (1 Corinthians 12:7). God wants every Christian to understand spiritual gifts and use his or hers wisely. A spiritual gift is a channel through which the Holy Spirit ministers to the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:11). The day we were born again into God’s family, His Spirit distributed to us a spiritual gift. Therefore, having a spiritual gift does not mean a believer is “spiritual.” What we really must ask is, “Is the channel clear?” Hypothetically, someone could have all the recorded spiritual gifts...
