SYNOPSIS
I discuss Ezekiel 13’s severe judgments against false prophets, especially women who claimed divine authority to speak in His name. I warn that modern figures who say “God told me” repeat this danger. I urge believers to avoid such teachers, to trust Scripture, and to rely on the Holy Spirit for truth.

What are the standards for giving loving benefit of the doubt, or assessing them as false and banning them completely from your purview? Both are called for in the Bible.

SYNOPSIS
This reflection warns against misinterpreting Scripture to promote an “if-then” theology—doing good to get good. Citing Job, Psalms, and New Testament examples, it emphasizes that we cannot fully know God’s mind or assign specific blessings or trials to specific actions. God’s purposes are sovereign, mysterious, and beyond human judgment. We should be cautious not to claim such insight ourselves.

SYNOPSIS
The term “leaven” represents a small yet influential force, both positively in the growth of God’s kingdom and negatively as a corrupting influence. Biblical teachings warn against allowing these harmful influences to pervade one’s heart and mind, urging believers to maintain purity in thought and faith.

SYNOPSIS
In this post, I discuss the importance of maintaining theological integrity and not compromising the Gospel despite cultural moments that seem to indicate a softening or readiness for the Gospel. I critique Alisa Childers’ self-announced shift towards softening her stance on not associating with false teachers and indicating she may now do so in the future, if asked. I state that this undermines credibility and dilutes the message of Christ. We need clear separation from falsehood in ministry.

SYNOPSIS
In this thoughtful and sobering reflection, I examine the spiritual implications of blending politics with ecumenical religion. Drawing historical parallels to past movements like the Moral Majority, I question whether the current surge of enthusiasm is rooted in biblical faith or emotional nationalism. With contributions from voices like Pastor Don Green and Jess at “Anchor for the Soul,” the piece warns of the dangers of Christian Nationalism, theological compromise, and spiritual confusion in emotionally charged moments. Readers are called to rejoice when the Gospel is preached, yet test all things by Scripture.
This is not a critique of mourning or conviction—it is a call to clarity. Revival is not measured by crowds, political energy, or emotional response, but by repentance, obedience, and fruit that remains.

I critique an older essay of Jen Wilkin’s, labeling her a false teacher whose trajectory since 2014 has been downward. I translate her false teacher-speech into what she is really saying, in order to demonstrate that even seemingly soft words and faux-kindness have hidden barbs that destroy. I warn that false teachers use persuasive language, urging discernment when evaluating their messages.

In 2009, I launched The End Time blog to share my journey of faith, transitioning from a personal blog focused on art to a platform for discussing theology and discernment. Inspired by my salvation, I write about biblical truths, encouraging readers to recognize the urgency of their earthly walk with Jesus.

SYNOPSIS
I discuss the decline of Jen Hatmaker’s faith, comparing it to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Hatmaker’s shift towards affirming same-sex relationships and her promotion of faith deconstruction have led to her obvious departure from Christianity. I urge discernment and warns against false teachers who undermine true faith.

SYNOPSIS
Discovery of a new discernment critic happily surprised me as his writing was excellent and the structure of the 2 videos I listened to were well-done. Today I share his critique of Beth Moore and make a few comments.
