The Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) has officially completed its transformation from a nominally Christian denomination into yet another rubber-stamping committee for the moral revolution. With its latest amendment, enshrining LGBTQIAP+ identities into its Constitution, the PCUSA has removed any last fig leaf of theological credibility, not that it had any left, opting instead for total allegiance to the gods of sexual identity politics. This was inevitable. Believe it or not, here and there, there did exist at least somewhat remotely faithful PCUSA congregations, but only because it was so difficult to exit the denomination. But, the PCUSA abandoned biblical fidelity long...

Bishop Mariann Budde, who famously criticized Trump during an inaugural prayer service, has been found to have pocketed a staggering $53 million in taxpayer funds through her organization, Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM). This bombshell comes as no surprise to those who see through the sanctimonious veneer of left-wing religious leaders who preach compassion while filling their coffers with public money. Bishop Budde, during an inaugural prayer service at Washington National Cathedral, implored President Trump to show compassion towards vulnerable groups, including illegal aliens and members of the LGBTQ community. “Let me make one final plea, Mr. President,” Budde began. “As...

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...

Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde’s sermon to President Trump during an inaugural prayer service, coupled with her church’s advocacy for humanitarian immigration programs, reveals a striking hypocrisy — one that could be seen as self-serving and even a conflict of interest. That’s because the federal contracting arm of the church, Episcopal Migration Ministry (EMM), is paid to bring in people on resettlement programs that Trump has temporarily paused and targeted for re-evaluation. EMM budget figures for 2024 are not available yet, but in 2023 it earned $53 million from various taxpayer-funded government programs to resettle 3,600 individuals. Unlike everyday immigrants, these...

Activists in Grand Rapids, Michigan, are demanding that local officials declare the city a “sanctuary city” for illegal immigrants, MLive.com reported on Saturday. The news comes as President Donald Trump, who was sworn in on Monday, is taking steps against so-called “sanctuary” cities and some Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have already arrested multiple criminal illegals. According to the MLive.com report, “A pro-immigration group is organizing a demonstration at the Tuesday, Jan. 28 Grand Rapids City Commission meeting to demand that commissioners put sanctuary protections in place and prohibit local police from cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement...

I don't know her name, but her entire speech was geared, veiled, towards politics . Link to live clip https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nK8rNx43wZs

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 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...

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...

The 10,000-member Bethel Church in Redding, California, is an assortment of false teaching and bizarre charismatic shenanigans. From ‘Little God theology,’ using prophetic Uno cards, going on satanic treasure hunts, teaching that Adam created the animals in Eden, that Michael the Archangel wears tights, and that angels sit around the throne of God having “farting contests,” it’s a hotbed of strange fire burning uncontrollably throughout Christendom. (see endnotes.) Yet what many people may not know about Bethel church is that along with their more notorious claims of gold dust falling from “glory clouds in the ceiling” and gold teeth being...

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...

There's a lot of talk about shepherds being for sale lately, and if this isn't that problem in spades, I don't know what is. Our boy Woke Preacher Clips did the painstaking work to put together a montage that's nearly 7 minutes long, featuring more than 50 pastors, all saying the exact same thing about Kamala Harris a couple of weeks ago. This is insane:

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...

The United Methodist Church General Conference voted to drop a ban on funding LGBT advocacy groups and removed a required punishment for pastors who officiate gay weddings after thousands of theologically conservative congregations left the mainline Protestant denomination in the last two years. On Tuesday, delegates approved a petition that struck from the UMC Book of Discipline Paragraph 806.9 language that prohibits the General Council on Finance and Administration from "ensuring that no board, agency, committee, commission, or council shall give United Methodist funds to any gay caucus or group, or otherwise use such funds to promote the acceptance of...
