USA: A Christian has reportedly been fired in Wisconsin due to his faith. Spencer Wimmer lost his job at Generac after refusing to use preferred pronouns that were false. We need more believers like Spencer who refuse to live by lies and are willing to stand for their beliefs. Religious discrimination against Christians in the workplace must end.

What’s wrong with so much of our SBC leadership? Willy Rice says they’ve forgotten that “Billy Baptist” matters. “Jerry Vines used to talk about Billy Baptist in his great sermon, ‘A Baptist and his Bible.’ And he created a character of the ordinary Baptist layman or pastor. I think some of our leaders have forgotten about Billy Baptist. Okay, sure, you dunked on some guy at a microphone and made yourself look good. Is that what we want to be? Doesn't that Pastor matter? Shouldn't his question be taken seriously? Should we really want to make fun of him, is that what we want to do? I think that's the problem. We've got to get back to where that guy at that microphone matters.”

Texas parents call police on registered sex offender illegally working at private Christian school—it was the pastor's son. Pastor allowed son to teach music for years—knowing he was just released from prison. Police list him as moderate risk to offend—victim was 12 year old girl. "Our children should be number one priority—not protecting your own child who should not be around children," said parent. Heritage Christian Academy is a private school that is a part of Heritage Baptist Church—led by Pastor Eric Crawford. His son, Caleb Crawford, was fired from his job working at the school—but only after parents discovered through their own research that he was required to register as a sex offender for life. School is located in Haslet, Texas—which voted MAGA with a whopping 69% for Trump in 2024. The suburb is located 15 miles north of downtown Fort Worth. #DemsUnited

Capability does not equal calling. I love communicating and I love the Word of God, but I am not called to be a pastor. I am not called to preach from a pulpit in a local church. That is not my role and it is not a woman’s role. A pastor is not just a preacher. He is a shepherd. A protector. For example, the catastrophe at Cities Church in St. Paul. Pastor Jonathan Parnell took the heat and protected his congregation from the chaos. That is a masculine role. That is a manly role.

Good sermon clip: Pastor Grant Castleberry (Grant R. Castleberry) speaking at the Blue Collar Confessionalism conference. (the whole message is fantastic, and worth a watch) "History does not remember denominations as much as it remembers conviction. Does anybody care today that Spurgeon was kicked out of the Baptist Union? No, they do not. Does anybody even care about what the Baptist Union is? No, we do not. Do we care that Spurgeon stood for his convictions? Yes, we do. And those convictions are built upon over time. The Church of England, though great as it is, mighty as it is, is a denomination in rubble and ultimately what matters is the convictions that you stand for and the true unity that you build with other believers."

Pastor Adeboye Did Not Protest Against President Goodluck Jonathan’s Government A false narrative has been circulating online, accompanied by a photograph of Pastor E.A. Adeboye holding a placard during a public walk. The image has repeatedly been misrepresented as evidence that Pastor Adeboye led or participated in a protest against the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan. This claim is FALSE. The photograph in question was taken during a peaceful nationwide walk held in response to a directive issued by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) during the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari. Churches across Nigeria were instructed to hold peaceful walks after service, calling attention to the persistent killings of Christians and urging the government to take decisive action to protect lives. The walk in Ebute Metta, where Pastor Adeboye participated, was part of that nationwide exercise. It was neither organized against President Goodluck Jonathan nor connected in any way to his administration. Ironically, despite the significant media presence at the event when it took place, some of the same photographs have years later been recycled and falsely presented as evidence of a protest against a completely different government. It is important to note that Pastor Adeboye’s message during the walk was clear: all lives matter to God. His placard emphasized the value of every human life, regardless of religious affiliation. The call was for the protection of innocent Nigerians, both Christians and Muslims. Yes, Nigeria is facing enormous challenges, and citizens have every right to desire solutions. However, the growing demand that Pastor Adeboye should “command” the President or the First Lady on how to run the affairs of the nation is both unrealistic and unreasonable. Pastor Adeboye is a clergyman, not the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. Nevertheless, he has not remained silent. During the November 2025 Holy Ghost Service, Pastor Adeboye publicly offered counsel to the President of Nigeria regarding the worsening security situation and the continued killing of innocent citizens by terrorists. He warned that urgent action was necessary before foreign powers found justification to intervene in Nigeria under the guise of combating terrorism. He further advised that security chiefs should be given a clear ultimatum to decisively address the menace or vacate their positions. In his words: “When they eliminate the terrorists, ask them to eliminate their sponsors too.” At 84 years old, Pastor Adeboye continues to provide spiritual leadership, moral counsel, and national guidance within the limits of his office as a minister of the Gospel. For the avoidance of doubt: • Pastor Adeboye cannot command the President or the First Lady on how to govern Nigeria. • Pastor Adeboye and RCCG are not responsible for the current challenges facing the nation. • RCCG is not a political party. • Pastor Adeboye does not hold political office and was not elected into government. • RCCG is not the religious arm of any political party in Nigeria. Facts matter. Context matters. Truth matters. Before sharing claims about Pastor E.A. Adeboye or The Redeemed Christian Church of God, verify them through RCCG’s official communication channels.

'THIS IS A VIOLATION': Pastor Paul Chappell, of the Lancaster Baptist Church in California, condemned the mob that stormed a church in Minnesota over a pastor's alleged ties to ICE. Pastor Chappell called for a federal investigation into the incident, saying "we must protect religious liberty in this country." He also referenced Don Lemon in his remarks, a former CNN anchor who chronicled the church demonstration on social media. The DOJ has since put him "on notice" over allegations he joined the mob, but Lemon says he had no role in organizing the disruption and was there as a journalist.

I'm so sorry that your spiritual leadership abdicated their responsibility to speak God's truth to hurting people, Michelle. A friend texted me this morning, demoralized that the pastor of his church of 12 years did not mention Charlie's assassination at all either. I was grateful to be in a church this morning where our pastor was not so reticent to teach that the Bible is relevant to the pain and horror the nation is experiencing at Charlie's death. At Iryna Zarutska's death. I was grateful that my children and some guests with us were able to hear that. The Bible is not a dead text. It is living and sharper than any two-edged sword. We can't be afraid to wield it in the darkest moments. Especially in the darkest moments.

Dumbing Down II "By Faith, this is the last rent I am paying as a single lady. If you support me to pay this rent, by the grace of God, this time next year, I will be in my husband's house." is back begging for support to pay another rent. Not because God didn't bring eligible suitors her way, but because her PASTOR has replaced the Holy Spirit in her life. Pastors ruin a lot of destinies when they insist on playing God instead of their primary role as destiny guides. Many members have submitted their free will to their pastors, giving their pastors the power that God himself didn't take from us from the dawn of creation. When you take the ability of the individual to act as a free agent in the name of religion, you reduce him or her to a puppet and yourself to a puppeteer. You want to pull the strings of the lives of thousands of born-again Christians at the same time while rendering them useless to follow their paths in Christ and grow into mature sons. I was at a Church in Anthony village about three years ago to minister, and I met this young man who was schooled at a very prestigious university in the USA. He was the in-house IT consultant of the church, and the pastor placed him on a monthly stipend while he was working for God. It was the Pastor who introduced the young man to me while boasting that God had given him the most capable hands to help him in ministry. I asked him if he had any Python, Java, cloud engineering, data management, digital marketing, coding, or similar tasks available for the young man in the church. He said no. I said, "You are giving this young man the job that any young school leaver who is proficient in computer appreciation can do, and you don't see it as limiting his capabilities and rendering his skills obsolete?" You would rather boast that you are ruining a destiny to build up your own profile rather than set this young man on the path of excellence? Did God call him into ministry as a preacher? Is he understudying you in preparation for his own ministry? The pastor said, "No, I plan that as the church expands, he will head our digital infrastructure and position us for the future." I said, "He can do that as a consultant or even as a member, he shouldn't be doing that while you are paying him 100,000 Naira a month. He should be out there, flying with his peers and earning in dollars! The only exception is if the Lord has called him to be a preacher and he is understudying you as your personal assistant, as led by the Lord as part of his season of preparation. Anything other than that is injurious to his destiny!" The pastor had never seen it that way When I was done ministering in the church, the young man hugged me and thanked me profusely. He said his mother sent him to the pastor when he returned from the USA and the pastor immediately told him that God had need of him in the ministry or he would die without fulfilling his purpose. Why do pastors do this? I have another case from the Northern part of Nigeria. A young lady reached out to me seeking clarity regarding her future She said her Apostle told her she has been raised by God to sing in his church choir, but she is a medical doctor by training and desires to further her studies abroad Every time she raised the issue with the Apostle, he shut her down and told her she was struggling with the will of God "Why can't you just submit to God and serve in the choir and watch as God will take your voice all over the world as this ministry grows?" The young lady said she knows she has a good voice and sings very well as one who is full of the Holy Spirit, but she does not want to be "Sinach", she wants to fulfil her dream of practising as a Pediatrician. She was wary of incurring the wrath and curse of the Apostle, however, and did not know how to extricate herself from the situation. The apostle did not see anything wrong with his actions because he was a user of people who believed that in order to fulfill his own desire to become a big ministry, others could not thrive and grow in their visions and ministries as ordained by God. This is witchcraft. It is not of God. Jesus didn't lead his disciples this way. Insecurity is the undoing of many African so-called Pastors and Spiritual leaders, and they hide behind the illusion of divinity to put others in bondage. I experienced this firsthand as a young graduate, so I understand how a pastor trying to build his ministry could see the potential in a young man or woman and try very hard to turn such a person into servants and house helps in the name of discipling them or training them for kingdom relevance You graduate from the University and join the labour force, you apply for many jobs, and at a point, you tell yourself it is important to seek supernatural guidance in your quest to fulfil destiny Somebody somewhere tells you about a church or a ministry, you join, and you are convinced the church is good. You also tell your friends, and they join. But you are all fresh graduates who are heading into the future one way or the other, but this pastor wants you to be his flock. To him, his church of ten members had suddenly become a church of 30 members because of you guys, and he wants to keep the numbers growing, so he begins to give you prophesies that were not of God but with the aim of keeping you in the fold for as long as possible. He told young graduates who ought to go for NYSC that God is telling him they should give it up for service to God in the vineyard. The mother of two of the ladies in the fellowship, whose daughters told that the pastor told them not to go for NYSC, quickly removed them from the fellowship before the seed of corruption being planted by this pastor would bear fruit The others also left as soon as they could gather their wit People who you ought to guide on their path in sincerity ran as far as they could from you based on how you chose to manipulate rather than nurture them. A married woman whose husband worked abroad was a trained secretary, and while her husband was abroad, catering to the needs of the family, he begged her to stop working so that she could focus on raising the children. She was raising five children all by herself, and combining this with a job seemed a bit too much at the time. One of the vital institutions for raising godly children was the church This woman attended church regularly with her children and even volunteered to spend any free time she had typing the pastor's sermons, Sunday School pamphlets, handouts, books, journals, and other church reports and documents She was not officially employed to do the work; she just saw that she could take some of the secretarial duties on during her downtime, and she did so with all sincerity. The church enjoyed her free services for five years until the pastor forgot completely that she was doing the church a favour One day, the woman came to church to tell the pastor that her husband would be returning home to visit the family, and she would not be available for a few days because she had to pick her husband up from the airport and ensure that he settled in properly. Unfortunately, that weekend was the weekend of the church's anniversary, and the pastor had a lot of secretarial work to do. He told the woman God said she should pick one. Heaven or marriage. He said if she goes to pick her husband from the airport, she has chosen the world and forsaken the Lord. The woman wept all the way home, It was not the thank you, thou faithful servant report she had worked day and night for many years to get that she received. She went to pick her husband from the airport and distanced herself from any church founded by any individual after that experience. She said the ambition of church founders requires that they use people to build, even though they lacked the resources to pay or compensate such people, so they resort to blackmail, coercion, lies, fake prophesies, promises, and manipulations to get things done while keeping their followers on a leash. Followers are also enablers as they refuse to read the Bible for themselves and walk in the light of the word of God. No one should be able to take you captive in the name of God, Jesus, all the angels, or any form of miracle if you know the word of God. The word of God is profitable to make one wise, and therefore, anyone who knows the word of God cannot fall victim to any false doctrine, teaching, spiritual manipulations, or lies. All the false teachings of someone being a covering for someone else came from these manipulative narratives, and believers should be wise to them. I have seen a pastor declare that his church is the only church in Africa that is licensed by God to take people to heaven, and some members believed him. The day he said that, all his members ought to laugh, pick up their Bibles, and leave without looking back. Self-aggrandisement has become the order of the day in some churches, the pastor sells himself as the be-all and end-all of the member's spiritual enlightenment, and the members sheepishly surrender their eyes of their understanding to him or her. He or she must determine where they work, whom they marry, who they associate with, whose music they must listen to, and whose sermons they must hear. If they want to travel, he must see if the road is clear on their behalf, if they want to build a house, he must approve, if he does not dedicate their baby, the baby is illegitimate. This is not the faith Christ or the Apostles died for. Jesus died that you might be free of religion. Christianity is not a religion, it is the opposite. It is individualistic and determined by the faith and belief system of the one rather than the many. Salvation, therefore, is a personal affair, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit is also a personal affair Religion is the opium of the masses, and Christianity is the salvation of the individual and his or her walk with God. When we fellowship together, we do so not so we can get brainwashed by one "super Christian" but so that we can minister to the Lord and minister to one another in the presence of God. Every believer must hold this truth to be self-evident. PS: Someone sent me the video of a pastor condemning a song recently released by a fellow believer, which is making a global impact The Pastor represents an old school of Christians who are unfit to be custodians of the gospel due to their rigidity and limited understanding of the finished work of Christ. Disciples of the gospel of Works and Performance lack creativity and discernment but are good stewards of rigidity and religious doctrines. In other words, a Pharisee must act like one, and Jesus must act like Jesus. We are all just being true to our nature. "I can never go back o No...No It's already too late o No...No Where Am I going to... No...No" If you read to this point, when I was in Spain, I asked a very important question about a meal. If you know the answer, I'm inside the comment section. -GSW-

He told young graduates who ought to go for NYSC that God is telling him they should give it up for service to God in the vineyard. The mother of two of the ladies in the fellowship, whose daughters told that the pastor told them not to go for NYSC, quickly removed them from the fellowship before the seed of corruption being planted by this pastor would bear fruit The others also left as soon as they could gather their wit People who you ought to guide on their path in sincerity ran as far as they could from you based on how you chose to manipulate rather than nurture them. A married woman whose husband worked abroad was a trained secretary, and while her husband was abroad, catering to the needs of the family, he begged her to stop working so that she could focus on raising the children. She was raising five children all by herself, and combining this with a job seemed a bit too much at the time. One of the vital institutions for raising godly children was the church This woman attended church regularly with her children and even volunteered to spend any free time she had typing the pastor's sermons, Sunday School pamphlets, handouts, books, journals, and other church reports and documents She was not officially employed to do the work; she just saw that she could take some of the secretarial duties on during her downtime, and she did so with all sincerity. The church enjoyed her free services for five years until the pastor forgot completely that she was doing the church a favour One day, the woman came to church to tell the pastor that her husband would be returning home to visit the family, and she would not be available for a few days because she had to pick her husband up from the airport and ensure that he settled in properly. Unfortunately, that weekend was the weekend of the church's anniversary, and the pastor had a lot of secretarial work to do. He told the woman God said she should pick one. Heaven or marriage. He said if she goes to pick her husband from the airport, she has chosen the world and forsaken the Lord. The woman wept all the way home, It was not the thank you, thou faithful servant report she had worked day and night for many years to get that she received. She went to pick her husband from the airport and distanced herself from any church founded by any individual after that experience. She said the ambition of church founders requires that they use people to build, even though they lacked the resources to pay or compensate such people, so they resort to blackmail, coercion, lies, fake prophesies, promises, and manipulations to get things done while keeping their followers on a leash. Followers are also enablers as they refuse to read the Bible for themselves and walk in the light of the word of God. No one should be able to take you captive in the name of God, Jesus, all the angels, or any form of miracle if you know the word of God. The word of God is profitable to make one wise, and therefore, anyone who knows the word of God cannot fall victim to any false doctrine, teaching, spiritual manipulations, or lies. All the false teachings of someone being a covering for someone else came from these manipulative narratives, and believers should be wise to them. I have seen a pastor declare that his church is the only church in Africa that is licensed by God to take people to heaven, and some members believed him. The day he said that, all his members ought to laugh, pick up their Bibles, and leave without looking back. Self-aggrandisement has become the order of the day in some churches, the pastor sells himself as the be-all and end-all of the member's spiritual enlightenment, and the members sheepishly surrender their eyes of their understanding to him or her. He or she must determine where they work, whom they marry, who they associate with, whose music they must listen to, and whose sermons they must hear. If they want to travel, he must see if the road is clear on their behalf, if they want to build a house, he must approve, if he does not dedicate their baby, the baby is illegitimate. This is not the faith Christ or the Apostles died for. Jesus died that you might be free of religion. Christianity is not a religion, it is the opposite. It is individualistic and determined by the faith and belief system of the one rather than the many. Salvation, therefore, is a personal affair, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit is also a personal affair Religion is the opium of the masses, and Christianity is the salvation of the individual and his or her walk with God. When we fellowship together, we do so not so we can get brainwashed by one "super Christian" but so that we can minister to the Lord and minister to one another in the presence of God. Every believer must hold this truth to be self-evident. PS: Someone sent me the video of a pastor condemning a song recently released by a fellow believer, which is making a global impact The Pastor represents an old school of Christians who are unfit to be custodians of the gospel due to their rigidity and limited understanding of the finished work of Christ. Disciples of the gospel of Works and Performance lack creativity and discernment but are good stewards of rigidity and religious doctrines. In other words, a Pharisee must act like one, and Jesus must act like Jesus. We are all just being true to our nature. "I can never go back o No...No It's already too late o No...No Where Am I going to... No...No" If you read to this point, when I was in Spain, I asked a very important question about a meal. If you know the answer, I'm inside the comment section. -GSW-

There are only two times in the Bible where we read that Jesus was amazed. The first was at the great faith of a Roman centurion who asked Him to simply speak the word and his servant would be healed. This was a man who was not raised on Scripture—quite the opposite. Yet somehow he understood authority. He believed that if Jesus just said the word, it would be done. And Jesus was amazed at his simple, confident, powerful faith. The second time Jesus was amazed was at the unbelief of the people in His own hometown of Nazareth when He declared Himself to be the Messiah. The contrast is striking—faith from a pagan soldier, unbelief from those who knew the Scriptures. More on that here…

JUST IN: The Texas megachurch pastor who advised Donald Trump has confessed to “inappropriate sexual behavior” with a child who was 12 years old at the time. This is so disgusting but not surprising, and Trump is connected: Get this: Robert Morris is a founding pastor of Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, which attracts an estimated 100,000 worshipers weekly. He confessed to “inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady” more than 35 years ago while he was a young pastor after a woman accused him of sexually abusing her over multiple years beginning when she was 12. Morris claims he returned to ministry after he was forgiven by the church and the girl’s father. Morris was named to Trump’s evangelical advisory board in his 2016 campaign and Trump visited his church in 2020 for a fundraiser. What are your thoughts? Why is it always the MAGA family values types that have these kind of skeletons in their closet?

Senior Sunday at our church (Cornerstone Church) And Elijah Luke, who feels he’s being called to ministry, preaches his first sermon [in the time he had to give testimony as the rest of the graduating sr’s did.] He was to the point, biblically accurate, theological sound, and also mindful of those that arent or may not be regular attendees at any church at all. And most importantly it was about Jesus! Heb 12:1-2 ; leave it to a track guy to preach on running a race😉 **We don’t preach in robes, that his grad gown. ** (not that there’s anything wrong with that )

RCCG is trending because a Redeem Pastor is under fire for allegedly raping about 18 female members and punishing them when they refuse. [Full Video + Screenshots] Apparently, when they refuse penetration, Pastor Tayo Sobowale demands a boob or handjob, and then gaslights them with Holyspirit. During a program at The Watchtower RCCG branch in Ogbomosho, to his face a student accused Tayo Sobowale of raping and asking for orals afterwards, when she got him food. Also, he makes her cook for him because she’s in welfare department. She went public after her efforts to get justice failed. Tobi narrated how the pastor bragged about how does the same with other virgins in this congregation, like sister Rachel. The pastor denied, but there were more accusations as more girls were allegedly inspired to speak up. One time, while raping her (Tobi), another pastor visited, he asked her to hide in the toilet, after he left, while Tobi was in tears begging him to stop, he refused because he still had a hard-on. When he’s not raping, he’s demanding alternatives, either boobs penetration or oral, and spanking females randomly. Interestingly, the vocal victim Tobi, is vulnerable a mother of one, who joined the church seeking brethren and fellowship. Before going public, Tobi tried to get him to confess in a conversation, but Pastor Tayo evaded.

"If you touch me, I'm touching you back, and I am in your way - you can't go this way. We can do this all day. I'm not scared of you, but you're the b*tch!" says a pro-Palestine protestor before aggressively declaring she is "peaceful" to a passer by while she and her friends are unlawfully denying his access to a public sidewalk. This radical protestor was filmed on Harvard Square, Cambridge Massachussetts, on July 12th 2025. Not only was the person filming not wearing any flags, colors or symbols whatsoever, he also did not initiate contact in any way with any of the protesters, nor did he speak to any of them and did not make any faces or gestures. He was merely present on a public sidewalk while filming and taking pictures, as is his right, and he was completely indistinguishable from the general public, but for the fact he is a known member of the local Jewish community. Amazingly, the Cambridge Police department did not clear the sidewalk for him but actually enabled the belligerent protestors.
