A youth pastor in Germany has drawn fierce criticism after blessing the union of four men to each other at a pubic wedding event, insisting that the LGBTQ polucule were now “married before God.” Lena Müller initially posted the picture earlier this month in a since-deleted Instagram post, writing, “On Friday evening, I was allowed to celebrate my first poly wedding.” Müller and her church are part of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia (EKBO), a progressive denomination with a membership of 880,000 and nearly 1800 churches, Each year they hold a Pop-up Wedding Festival in Berlin where people can...

Sadly, I'm not shocked by this. This "church" has hosted drag shows each June and said they would only hire a openly gay minister several years ago.

Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia has partnered with several democratic lawmakers to launch Bros for Repro.’ The group includes male lawmakers running in tight races who are committed to “amplifying the voices of men who champion reproductive rights and bodily autonomy—not just as allies, but as active leaders in the movement.” Specifically, they want to see a surge in Democratic voters so that once they win, they can pass a constitutional amendment to entrench abortion rights in the state. One of these ‘bros’ is Del. Joshua Cole, who told MSN: “I would just ask that we speak up, we show...

... an opinion piece released at EndTimeHeadlines reveals that one [United Methodist] congregation has taken the agenda to an extreme. With an F-bomb-laden, LGBT "worship anthem" in which a performer loudly proclaims "I'm f****** gay." The commentary said, "It was once said that when the Church stops offending the world, it has stopped representing Christ. That grim warning came true again in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where Zao MKE Church – an official United Methodist congregation – recently led its Sunday worship with a profane, self-glorifying anthem titled, 'I'm F****** Gay.'"

That’s Rev. Dr. Caleb Lines, a full-time rainbow cleric and part-time cosplay theologian currently pastoring University Christian Church in San Diego. He’s also the Co-Executive Director of ProgressiveChristianity.org, which is basically a digital “safe space” for those who say they want Jesus but don’t want His inconvenient moral standards. Lines is best known for his TikTok homilies, his pastel stole collection, and his tireless work deconstructing anything that even vaguely resembles biblical Christianity. If it’s sacred, he’ll profane it. If it’s clear, he’ll twist it. And if it’s in Scripture, he’ll rewrite it in the key of Queer Eye. In...

Pacific Lutheran University is a private Lutheran university in Parkland, Washington, that is sponsored and financially supported by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA.) They recently hosted ‘Queer Prom,’ an event targeted at 14-24 year olds, in conjunction with the Oasis Youth Center. According to Campus Record, “The sign-up sheet for the dance asked attendees to list information including personal pronouns and offered 8 specific options for sexual orientation and 7 different genders to choose from.” Along with dancing, the event features “prizes, direct advocacy, free condoms, pregnancy tests, and HIV testing. For more on the ELCA:

I listened to it, and now you have to. Coming at you from Wall Street United Church in Ontario, Canada, here is the hottest new track from the pervy idolatrous groomers over at the United Church of Canada, entitled "Quirky, Queer, and Wonderful." (Sorry in advance.) VIDEO AT LINK............... Here are the bonkers lyrics to this gem. Quirky, Queer, and wonderful, Distinct, unique, and odd... All of our humanity Reveals the face of God No 'normal' can encompass Or comprehend the range Of all the kinds of people That God considers strange! From Jesus we learn riddles; He said the...

For years, North Point Community Church, led by Andy Stanley, has been partnering with and promoting affirming LGBTQ+ organizations when desperate parents come to see them for help with their struggling gay children, all done through their Parent Connect Ministry. Parent Connect is (was formerly?) led by Amy Blakeslee, an openly affirming queer woman, and is overseen by Debbie Causey, a gay-affirming, long-tenured pastor at North Point Community Church and the director of their Care network of ministries. Causey is also a board member at Renovus, a pro-LGBTQ+ activist and advocacy group led by many leaders within North Point church...

Two members of a North Texas school board that voted to remove a superintendent who objected to a same-sex "kiss" during a school play belong to the same LGBT-affirming denominational church. A recent investigation commissioned by the Sherman ISD Board of Trustees revealed that former Superintendent Tyson Bennett intervened in the casting of the high school musical "Oklahoma!" with the intent to prevent same-sex kissing. This intervention came to light after a female student who identifies as a male was removed from her leading male role in the production last November, a decision that sparked a national conversation surrounding gay,...

A California-based transgender Lutheran pastor said the Bible 'wasn't written for 2024' and intends to make a more inclusive ministry for the LGBTQ+ community. Ordained minister Drew Stever, who identifies as a transgender man, works for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Hope Lutheran Church in Hollywood. He says the notion that God created two genders that are clearly defined in the Bible is outdated. 'It's hard to relate it to modern-day time because it wasn't written for 2024, it was written for them. 'When we read in the scripture that God created man and woman, yes, and God created...

Progressive “Christianity,” if you want to call it that, is nothing but a fraud—a shameless charade where self-appointed “pastors” like this Emily Bowen-Marler strut about in clerical garb, pretending to speak for a God they openly despise. In this sermon, she says that the Kingdom of God is like a pride fest, like a drag queen reading stories to children. Interestingly enough, that’s exactly how I picture Hell. And how could these parables teach them that maybe they don’t have to be so afraid? The kingdom of God is like pride fest filled with people singing and dancing and explosion...

The Revoice Conference is a coalition of “gay Christians” who collude annually to prop up their status as outspoken homosexuals and promote the gay agenda of full acceptance and inclusion in the ranks of churches in America. Led by gay activists such as Nate Collins and Preston Sprinkle, the Conference promotes an identity of “gay” while committing to a life of “celibacy.” After all, other forms of same-sex intimacy are acceptable within the movement. Revoice has been endorsed by a professor at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary—a Southern Baptist Convention seminary—who says despite some disagreements she now has with them, she...

Today’s the day, folks! Preston Sprinkle, the theologian extraordinaire of the pro-LGBTQ leftist evangelical machine, founder of the Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender, and one of the original board members of Revoice, is back with his latest attempt to completely undermine biblical orthodoxy. In an email newsletter sent out today, Sprinkle announces the release of The Upside Down Kingdom Study Bible, a project that reeks of theological compromise and cultural pandering. Now, let’s take a moment to let that sink in. Preston Sprinkle—whose claim to fame is normalizing homosexuality, transgenderism, and other aberrant sexuality within the Church—is the general...

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz attends a church that preaches beliefs related to gender, race and sexuality that many Christian denominations strongly oppose. Walz, who is the governor of Minnesota, identified Pilgrim Lutheran Church in St. Paul as his parish during a 2020 briefing on the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials published by Pilgrim Lutheran Church instruct parishioners not to refer to God using male pronouns, push congregants to support reparation funds, encourage them to celebrate Ramadan and include a modified gender-neutral version of the Lord’s Prayer, among other liberal practices. Pilgrim Lutheran Church is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church...

Caleb J. Lines, Senior Minister of University Christian Church, whose church is part of the United Church of Christ (UCC) denomination, might hate Jesus more than anyone we know. We could tell you that he’s pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ, and routinely insists that the bible should not be trusted, that it is not “God-breathed,” and that Jesus did not die for the sins of the world, but this recent Instagram post explains the level of reprobation we’re dealing with. In a recent sermon for “Comic-Con Sunday” Lines explains that a Canaanite woman was the only one to “rightly correct Jesus” after he...

A Dallas ISD employee headlined an anti-bullying event that discussed “religious or faith-based LGBTQIA+ discrimination,” according to documents obtained in an open records request by The Dallas Express.

Christianity Today has been theologically liberals for a long time. One of the inspirations for Evangelical Dark Web was their treatment of Pete Buttigieg as a Christian, despite being a homosexual. So the fact that this outlet hired Russell Moore out of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission who once wrote that Jesus has AIDS should come as no surprise. Last week they published a gay affirming article I’m an Evangelical Parent of Adult LGBTQ Children. Now What? The author, Victor Clemente states, “My theology is squarely orthodox. Now I need fellow Christians to help me work out a sustainable...

A Drag Queen Story Hour event that was scheduled for later this month at a church in Mountville has been canceled. Christopher Paolini, who performs as Miss Amie Vanité, said that the decision was made to cancel the event after a news article by another media outlet was posted Saturday incorrectly saying the event was a reschedule of the canceled March Drag Queen Story Hour at the Lancaster Public Library. “Hate started piling in with comments and shares on social media,” Paolini said. The church hosting the event, the Vision of Hope Metropolitan Community Church, had posted Saturday on its...

You may also be familiar with Mike Cosper as the voice behind the popular podcast series, The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, which was published in Russell Moore’s Christianity Today. But Cosper’s damage to the Evangelical Church is much deeper, and much older, than his podcast lambasting Mark Driscoll. Cosper, a former “music pastor” at a Louisville, KY church who is now the “director of podcasting” a Christianity Today is a functional Democrat (I don’t know what he’s registered as) and has been an avid promoter of leftist causes. You may also be familiar with Cosper as the man...

Preston Sprinkle, one of the original advisory board members of Revoice, the “gay Christian” movement within Evangelical churches, has been instrumental in shifting the church’s doctrinal stance on homosexuality and other aberrant sexualities. It is through Sprinkle’s extensive relationships with mainstream Evangelical leaders James Merritt, Matt Chandler, and even names like Beth Moore, that he has been able to popularize what was once denounced as forbidden fruit by Evangelicals. Sprinkle’s ministry promotes a number of false teachings on sexuality. For example, his ministry promotes the notion that homosexuals can fulfill their homosexual desires in nonsexual ways by entering into same-sex...
