In the shadowed corners of evangelical pulpits, a cadre of self-appointed “fruit inspectors” has emerged, armed with magnifying glasses and a checklist of behaviors they deem essential to prove genuine salvation. These modern-day Pharisees, emboldened by the doctrine of Lordship Salvation, elevate personal performance above Christ’s finished work, fostering a culture of spiritual pride that Read more

Gnosticism, emerging in the second century AD among certain sects within early Christianity, masquerades as elevated wisdom but is, in truth, a rebellion against the Creator God. Derived from the Greek gnosis (knowledge), it posits that salvation comes not through faith in Christ’s atoning blood but through esoteric “secret knowledge” that awakens the divine spark Read more

Lordship Salvation, a teaching popularized by certain Reformed and Calvinist-leaning preachers, insists that true saving faith must be accompanied by an upfront commitment to submit every area of life to Christ’s lordship — often evidenced by ongoing obedience, fruit, and perseverance. While proponents claim this upholds the holiness of the gospel, a literal reading of Read more

The Bible declares in Ephesians 5:11, “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” This command serves as our guiding light in examining the cultural shifts that paved the way for the so-called “Satanic Panic” of the 1980s—a term that, upon scriptural scrutiny, reveals itself as a dismissive label Read more

In the shadowed corridors of human history, where empires rise and fall on the whispers of ambition, one truth endures like a thunderclap from eternity: No one enters the kingdom of God without first passing through the door of humility. The Philippian jailer, trembling under the weight of his chains and the Roman night, cried Read more

A day when every nation on earth will converge on Jerusalem—not for pilgrimage, but for war. From the apocalyptic visions of Zechariah to the cosmic drama of Revelation, Scripture describes a global coalition besieging Israel in the last days. This is not metaphor. It is prophetic geopolitics—a final, satanic assault on God’s covenant people, culminating Read more

On a windswept hill overlooking the Old City, a tour guide recites ancient verses to a group of American pilgrims. “And so all Israel shall be saved,” he quotes from the Book of Romans, his voice rising above the call to prayer echoing from the mosques below. For many, the words are poetry. For others, Read more

In the fevered corners of online forums and pulpits alike, two verses from the Book of Revelation have long been weaponized: “I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9, King James Bible) and its echo in Revelation 3:9. For centuries, these Read more

Few biblical passages have been as weaponized in American pulpits as James 2:17: “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” Preachers invoke it to warn against “cheap grace,” megachurch critics cite it to demand social justice, and prosperity teachers twist it to mandate tithing. Yet a close, contextual reading of Read more

In the polished pews of America’s megachurches and the quiet sanctuaries of small-town congregations, a quiet exodus has long been underway: men, particularly single ones, are leaving. For decades, surveys have painted a stark picture—churches are 61 percent female and 39 percent male, a gender gap unmatched by any major world religion. This disparity isn’t Read more
