The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) has announced that a female pastor will be taking front-and-center stage at the Southern Baptist’s annual meeting. The female preacher/pastor will be speaking in a genre called Spoken Word, a word-based performance art that includes a manuscript written to be read out-loud. Last year, Southern Baptist leaders toyed around with … Read more
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask … Read more
For years my parents have taken an annual Spring or Summer vacation to Amelia Island, just outside of Jacksonville, Florida. It is, in my opinion, one of the nicer beach destinations in Florida. It doesn’t have the six pack and go-kart feel of tourist towns such as Panama City Beach. It’s a different kind of … Read more
“We’ve made a lot of progress, but we have a long way to go.” So said former Southern Baptist Convention President (SBC) and founding pastor of Cross Pointe Church James Merritt during the 2019 Southern Baptist Convention in Birmingham. Merritt made these remarks while participating in a six-person panel on Racial Reconciliation. According to Merritt, … Read more
I awoke this morning and saw the polemics headlines coming out of the unofficial but more successful versions of the Baptist Press, Reformation Charlotte and Capstone Report. Blissfully unaware of most headlines reported on during my weekly Sabbath rest, I opened my eyes to see the following: SBC Pastor’s Conference speaker’s church does Satanic choreographed … Read more
[Editor’s Note: This was written by Peter Lumpkins in two parts. We are including both parts here. We thought it was well written and are posting it from someone who was once (is?) a mortal enemy. It is a high temperature of -4 degrees in Montana today, so it is possible that hell has frozen … Read more
I have no affinity for these men. I sense no brotherhood with them. Despite the fact that they are pastors, I have no regard for them and give them no honor. They are due no respect, no reverence, no esteem, and have no place at the table of communion among the saints. They are godless, … Read more
In which congregations of the saints should the women remain silent?Paul says “all” of them. “As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silent in the churches” (1 Cor. 14:33b-34a, emphasis added). Paul goes on: For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything … Read more
As many might already know, Russell Moore and Jim Wallis run the Evangelical Immigration Table for George Soros, who founded and funded their open borders ministry organization. Russell Moore is president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the SBC. What you might not know is that the recent “whistleblower report” against Donald … Read more
The Southern Baptist Convention is broken. It’s broken, and it’s not because of theology; it’s because of culture. The culture of the Southern Baptist Convention is absolutely untenable and nothing demonstrates this better than the careers and commentary of the Caner brothers: Ergun and Emir. Recently, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) removed portraits of Paige … Read more
The president of Liberty University issued a stunning rebuke to the Southern Baptist Convention. During Liberty’s baccalaureate service Friday, Jerry Falwell Jr. accused new leaders in the SBC of taking the convention away from its conservative roots and betraying the conservative resurgence. Falwell praised the conservative resurgence led by men like baccalaureate speaker Dr. Jerry … Read more
When Vice President Pence spoke at the Southern Baptist Convention, workers for 9Marks sat angrily with their arms folded, at times with a noticeable facial grimace, eye-roll and audible huff. When Trump’s name was mentioned, an occasional boo could be heard from the crowd. The fully-woke New Calvinist organization has largely shifted its emphasis from … Read more
George Orwell’s Animal Farm was included in the curriculum of my 9th Grade “World Cultures” class at Central High School in Chattanooga, TN. In the book, which is an allegory of the Russian Revolution, a group of animals, led by pigs, overthrow their human master and take over the farm on which they live. Having thrown off … Read more
James White has an important perspective in the Paige Patterson controversy in recent days particularly because he has never been a theological or political ally of Patterson and has a troublesome history and past with the former Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary president. And yet, White seems “woke” (but in a good way) when it comes … Read more
This was the resolution, passed unanimously, by the Fellowship Baptist Church in Sidney, Montana. And with it, we remind ourselves of Spurgeon’s words… “We fear it is hopeless ever to form a society which can keep out men base enough to profess one thing and believe another; but it might be possible to make an … Read more
