Allendale United Methodist “Church” is already under fire for allowing minors to attend a drag queen show during its worship service, blatantly disregarding Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s legislation that prohibits exposing children to sexualized performances. One particularly egregious instance in 2022 involved Isaac Simmons, also known as drag queen “Ms. Pennycost,” who is now an ordained “pastor” or “priestess” or whatever in the UMC. Simmons openly challenges the authority of Scripture and adopts a heretical view of God, evident through his sacrilegious writings. In their most recent display of egregious sex cult aberrant behavior, this place, calling itself a “church,”...

Rebecca Todd Peters is a professor, author, and Presbyterian Church (USA) ‘Pastor.’ She has been “active denominationally and ecumenically for over twenty-five years.” She represents the PCUSA as a member of the Faith and Order Standing Commission of the World Council of Churches. A lover of all things baby-killing, she also serves on the Clergy Advocacy Board of Planned Parenthood and was recently elected Vice President of the Society of Christian Ethics. It’s unsurprising then that she’s celebrated and tolerated within her denomination. The PCUSA has denigrated to one massive pen for goats, run by spiritual criminals and hirelings, with...

As the number of Christians who dabble in the heresy of affirming various forms of sexual deviancy continues to increase, the proponents of homosexuality within the walls of Christendom have become bolder in their assertion that God is pleased with all stripes of “alphabet people.” The 2023 release of the pro-homosexuality documentary 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture, accelerated the LGBTQ cause within various progressive Christian circles by giving the campaign a thin veneer of academic respectability. The creators of the film attempted to subvert numerous crystal-clear passages of scripture that describe homosexuality as an abomination, thousands of years of...

"I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: "That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." John 10 1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3...

Fifty plus years after Roe vs. Wade the most dangerous and deadliest place for an unborn child today is to be found in the womb of its own mother. The greatest enemy and threat of the new progressive Democratic Party and moderate Republicans today is the helpless unborn baby which abides IN its mother's womb. Nearly a little more than one third of every child conceived in its mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13-20) today has been violently terminated by this barbaric abomination called abortion. Abortion is the by-product of an immoral, decadent culture and society; selfish and narcissistic; void of ALL...

A suspicious detail in a pastor husband's interview filmed days after his wife died has raised speculation amongst internet sleuths. Mica Miller, 30, was found dead at Lumbee River State Park in North Carolina on April 27 from a self inflicted gunshot wound. Her death came days after serving her husband John-Paul Miller, 44, with divorce papers following a tumultuous relationship. Miller gave an interview with ABC15 just days later while wearing a necklace similar to the one his wife was frequently pictured in. During the interview, Miller breaks down in tears saying: 'She was the greatest wife anyone could...

Daily Readings from the USCCB“When a woman is in labor, she is in anguish because her hour has arrived; but when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the pain because of her joy that a child has been born into the world.” John 16:21This truth can certainly be extended to any form of anguish we experience for a good reason. Note that the pain experienced in childbirth is pain for a good and holy reason. Therefore, the pain is forgotten, in a sense, when the mother sees and holds her newborn child. That suffering is...

Controversial televangelist Benny Hinn said his two “biggest regrets” in his decades-long ministry include promoting prophecies he now admits “were not accurate or from the Lord” and pushing “prosperity theology."“The two things I regret most in ministry: I was not too wise a number of times with prophecy,” the 71-year-old charismatic preacher told Stephen Strang, host of The Strang Report, in a recent interview. “I had guests come to the crusades that I think brought harm to not only people’s lives but also to my reputation because their prophecies were not really prophecy. They went outside the borders of redemption.”“And...

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). God entrusts comfort to us, often through trials, so that we may comfort others. The nation of Ireland is nicknamed the “Emerald Isle” for good reason—it contains some of the greenest countryside of any location on earth. In visiting there I have noticed that abundant...

When suffering with something in the body there is a tendency to attend only to the body where the problem is, but the scriptures says that what you put in your inner man is just as important if not more important. Words have a significant effect on our whole being spirit, soul, and body. Like 3John 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. What do you think you prosper your soul with, words. Notice, the health of your outer man is connected to your inner man. In...

Karen Pala's contract was not renewed by the school's head pastor, Father Brad Hagelin, due to her plans to marry a woman over the summer. In the text of a letter sent to parents,...
