When Going to Church Became Our Greatest Sin: The Comfortable Christianity That’s Destroying America
Someone wrote a warning in 1999. Most of us ignored it. We kept sitting in our pews, singing our songs, shaking hands during the greeting time, and going home feeling like we’d done our Christian duty for the week. Twenty-six years later, that warning reads like prophecy. “I go to church, the minister preaches, I […]
Where Do We Go From Here?
The Stakes Are Real, and the Path Forward Is Clear We’ve spent three posts asking hard questions. Questions about whether we got it wrong. Questions about being more concerned with being right than being like Jesus. Questions about playing God with others’ salvation. Now it’s time to ask the most important question: Where do we […]
I Am NOT the Judge (And Neither Are You)
Why Playing God Might Be Our Biggest Sin Before we go any further, I need to address something. Some of you think I’m bashing the churches of Christ. Others have told me—directly or through the grapevine—that I shouldn’t be saying these things publicly. That I’m hurting the church, dividing the body, or giving ammunition to […]
When Being Right Became More Important Than Being Like Jesus
Examining Our Hermeneutical Inconsistencies In my last post, I shared my journey from certainty to questions—how leaving and returning to the churches of Christ changed everything about how I see our tradition. If you missed it, the short version is this: I spent 61 years knowing we were right, then discovered that certainty might have […]
What If We Got It Wrong?
A 61-Year church of Christ Member’s Journey from Certainty to Questions. I spent 61 years knowing I was right. Not arrogant-right. Not prideful-right. Just… certain. We had the New Testament pattern. We’d restored first-century Christianity. We spoke where the Bible spoke and stayed silent where it was silent. We were just Christians—nothing more, nothing less. […]
The Great Anglican Divorce: When African Bishops Said “Enough”
The Church of England just made history. And promptly lost half its global family in the process. Earlier this week, I documented how progressive ideology systematically infiltrated mainline Protestant denominations—captured seminaries, corrupted leadership, and weaponized churches for political ends. The evidence was overwhelming: coordinated, funded, deliberate. Then, as if to prove my point in real-time, […]
From Pews to Politics: How the Left Weaponized Mainline Churches (Part 3)
In Part 1, we documented the collapse of five mainline Protestant denominations—Episcopal, PCUSA, United Methodist, ELCA, and United Church of Christ. We watched them lose millions of members while embracing every progressive political position imaginable. In Part 2, we examined what replaced biblical Christianity in these churches: the social justice gospel. We saw how salvation […]
From Salvation to Social Justice: The Great Replacement in Mainline Churches (Part 2 of 3)
In Part 1, we documented the spectacular collapse of five mainline Protestant denominations. We watched the Episcopal Church, PCUSA, United Methodist Church, ELCA, and United Church of Christ follow the identical blueprint from Pentecost to perversion—losing millions of members while ordaining drag queens and celebrating sexual sin. We established that man-made religious systems built on […]
The “You’re Not Perfect Either” Crowd and the Gospel They Don’t Understand
I know what some of you are thinking. You knew me before. You remember. The compromises. The years away from God. The things I’m not proud of and won’t repeat here. And when you see me now—writing about biblical truth, calling out compromise in the church, challenging Christians to take faith seriously—part of you thinks: […]
From Pentecost to Perversion: How Man-Made Religion Killed Christianity (Part 1 of 3)
On the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit fell on 120 believers gathered in Jerusalem. Three thousand people were baptized that day. The church was born in power, purity, and apostolic truth. Two thousand years later, churches bearing Christ’s name ordain drag queens, celebrate abortion, call Jesus a bigot, and sing lesbian anthems during worship. […]
