When Don Lemon stated that you “can’t be Black & MAGA,” the issue was not tax policy or immigration reform. The issue was legitimacy. The statement implied that political identity determines racial authenticity. That is not a debate. That is ideological gatekeeping. And it reveals something far more troubling: the persistence of what has been called T he Bigotry of Low Expectations. Why do we allow the Don Lemons and D.L. Hughleys of the world to control the narrative when Go

A recent claim circulating online from the new rising darling of the Democratic Party, Senatorial candidate James Talarico, appeared on the CBS late-night show, The Late Night with Stephen Colbert, to argue that abortion and same-sex marriage are “not mentioned” in the Bible has reared its ugly head again. The implication is clear: if the Bible does not use modern terminology, then it offers no moral clarity. This Satanic induction rhetoric has been advanced time and time aga

The real issue is not whether LGBTQ persons are loved by God. The issue is whether the Evangelical Church will reinterpret Scripture to align with cultural pressure. Jesus Christ did not come merely to affirm identity. He came to redeem sinners. That includes every one of us.

The Cultural Reflex After Death The recent death of Jesse Jackson has prompted a predictable response across social media. Memes now circulate depicting Jackson in heaven alongside Tupac Shakur, Martin Luther King Jr., John Lewis, Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks. First, how insipid is the person who created the meme, and secondly, how equally insipid are the people who accept such a depiction without even a moment of sober reflection. 1) Malcolm X died postulating that anyone who b

If The Rule of Law erodes, churches will not be insulated from that erosion. The same constitutional structure that protects protest also protects worship. Undermine one, and eventually you weaken both.

Far too many times, as soon as someone influential dies, we see a flood of RIP when there is no legitimate basis to make such a profound declaration. R.C. Sproul said it best, “I’m afraid that in the United States of America today the prevailing doctrine of justification is not justification by faith alone… The prevailing notion of justification in our culture today is justification by death. All one has to do to be received into the everlasting arms of God is to die.”

Discernment is not intolerance. It is obedience, and it dishonors the Triune God when God's people call good evil and call what is evil good. There is nothing redeeming and wholesome associated with Bad Bunny, and the Scriptures are replete with warnings for the Christ-follower: Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14) Therefore, go out from their midst

Our society has lost its ability to speak plainly and forthrightly, and we will suffer as a result. A judge vying for a seat on the SCOTUS refused to define what a woman is. An Attorney General avoids answering direct questions about immigration enforcement. A medical subject matter experts stonewall whether men can get pregnant. And you wonder why I believe America is under the Judgment of Almighty God

Jamaal Bryant continues to demonstrate a lack of spiritual discernment, a vital trait needed to effectively shepherd the People of God. Protecting the flock is a Sine Qua Non for a shepherd, but instead, Bryant exposes his congregation to people an Evangelical has no business emulating or celebrating. If you imbibe with Fanni Willis and/or Jamaal Bryant, you do so only because you, like them, are travelers on the broad road.

Governor Andy Breshar appeared on the ABC Morning talk show, The View, to pander to the Left and gain their approval of his God-hating theology. Breshar ignored the vital grounding principles found in Genesis 1-11 and made some ill-informed New Testament references to the Good Samaritan and the need to be a good neighbor.

African American life in America flourished the best when America treated us the worst. The African American community only experienced pathology when we bought the lie from the Devil. We allowed the federal government to become our "god." Instead of trusting in God and God alone, we chose to trust in horses and chariots.

Jennifer Welch's vile attack directed toward Caucasian Evangelicals is cowardly as well as totally unfounded and without merit. She does so because it is totally safe in America to disparage anything related to Evangelical Christianity and anything related to "whiteness." It comes directly from the Cultural Marxist playbook. Only the unenlightened fall for the okey-doke.

The very people who should be keenly educated on the true merits of actual Jim Crowism are the very people exhibiting crass ignorance of simple historical truth. Doing such does grave disservice to the titans of the Civil Rights Era like Medgar Edgars who faced real discrimination. Insisting that a voter present an ID to vote is nowhere close to being Jim Crow 2.0

It is ironic and tragic that many are outraged about political satire but register nary a concern for the 1.4 million lives slaughtered AFTER Roe was overturned.

There is nothing more despicable than a politician who will say anything to falsely control the narrative.

Introduction — When Leniency Ignores Character Signals Justice symbolizes moral boundaries, not emotional reaction A recent troubling and utterly mind-boggling sentencing decision has been brought to my attention. An African American Judge chose to unilaterally reduce a jail term from sixty-five years and reduce it in half despite a jury recommendation. An unmistakably visible courtroom act of disrespect raises a difficult but necessary question: What is justice communicating

When we fail to take seriously the Biblical command to study to show thyself approved we allow all manner of unbiblical teaching and sentiment to permeate. The end result is that God's people are edified, and God Himself is not glorified.

Andrew Young, addressing the United Nations as US Ambassador, symbolized his transition from pulpit ministry to global diplomacy. Introduction Andrew Young is part of my second bite at the apple, examining the Pagan Preachers who contributed significantly to the paradigm shift that took place within the African-American Church. It is why I postulate so fervently that the African American Church has apostatized writ large. I began my second look with an examination of Jesse L

We either strive to be a country that upholds the necessity and survival of the Rule of Law, or we do not.

Momma taught me that charity always starts at home and then spreads abroad. The African American community will never right its wrongs by blaming other. The problem is an inside job.
