He who laughs last laughs best” – The Christmas Prince, 1608 England I don’t know who Chris Bolt is, exactly. He’s one of these twitter personalities who seem to have no life or societal impact other than what happens in 280 characters or less. Once upon a time, however, he blogged. And, Bolt blogged about … Read more

The leftist, gay-affirming feminist who works for both Liberty University and the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) has finally admitted plainly that (in her opinion), “Much of what conservative Christianity believes about the Bible is wrong.” Pulpit & Pen has been calling the animal rights activist and fake anti-abortion advocate a leftist for the … Read more
Do you really expect the lost to have any semblance of Godly compassion towards human life? They can’t, they’re lost. This isn’t to say that all non-Christians are murderers, however, it is to say that only Christians believe that the unborn are human beings, made in the image of God, knit together by Him in their mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13). And it is only upon this foundation that we can objectively argue that life is sacred, to be preserved, respected, and protected. All other arguments are subjective.
In the wake of recent happenings in the US that greatly affect Christians, some believers may be wondering what this world is coming to. Much of this has come as a shock to many, especially the “cultural Christian” segment, or the new religious right. After the supreme court ruling declaring it illegal for states to ban same-sex marriage, many emotions including disappointment, shock, and anger and even hatred spread throughout the dissenting population. While grieving over sin is both healthy, and righteous (Luke 6:25), we need to remember one thing–God is sovereign over all.
So while we can be disappointed, we can have opinions, we can talk, pray and express our thoughts and feelings, let’s not forget who we represent, and who we are to rejoice in–Jesus Christ.
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. – Romans 8:28
I’m 65 pages into Megan Basham’s controversial new book Shepherd’s for Sale and I can’t help but notice all the familiar names I’m seeing from the last decade of work we’ve done at Protestia, the DISNTR, and right here at Pulpit & Pen. The evangelical actors being exposed to the light of day by Basham’s … Read more
Who is the worst Christian of 2023? On the surface, this seems like a foolish or even pharisaical question.

Every believer struggles with sin every day and will continue to do … Read more

On May 26th 2023, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed into law The Anti-Homosexual Act. This law not only criminalizes homosexual acts but the promotion of homosexuality itself.

Dear Jackie, My friends at Protestia recently published yet another critical article about you. Their latest critique is about the recent statement you made about scripture and sexual orientation: “It can sound righteous to say ‘God wants you to be straight,’ but I’ve yet to read anything in the 66 books of the scriptures that implies that. … Read more

During my (almost) two decades in the workforce, I have been given a number of personality assessments and EQ tests by employers and potential employers. The results have been fairly consistent. If I had amalgamate those consistent results into one final designation, I’d label myself an “ISAAWWBWCAPWVTS”. That’s shorthand for insufferable autistic accountant who works … Read more
