The key thing to know about David Barton is not just that he spreads Christian nationalist disinformation, but that he keeps spreading it even after it's been debunked. We exposed this lie back in 2022, yet it remains a standard part of his presentations. https://t.co/4fWoDnQL0m pic.twitter.com/X2LtskQqSb

The level of ignorance here is STAGGERING. He should move to North Korea ASAP. Shame on him for using a pulpit to delude his flock into these idiocies. https://t.co/a0b01naGYt

When dispensationalism meets foreign policy hot takes:

This may prove to be a fatal wound to the United States. Tragically it’s a self-inflicted wound by a godless administration that is unknowingly heaping up wrath upon itself. The God of the Bible will not take this lately.https://t.co/PWRiuDxgGK

Is Jack Hibbs on the Liberty University payroll?

I know I came down pretty hard on America’s universities last Sunday, and what was a well-deserved rebuke and exert to Christian parents to save their money and not send their kids to college.

However, this morning, I stand corrected. I am in awe of the beautiful and wonderful…

Franklin Graham is not happy with the group formerly known as the Boy Scouts:

Talk about losing your way—that’s the @BoyScouts. They want to be more “inclusive,” so they’re changing their name. Being woke isn’t the need—staying focused & true to what God calls you to do is what’s important. They should’ve just stuck with what they were founded to be 114…
