Twenty-one Egyptians who were being held by Islamic extremists were executed yesterday. They were decapitated. They were killed because they were not Muslims and because that’s what the extremists do…they kill people, savagely, brutally, horribly, sinfully. Regardless of the religion of those twenty-one people, the world should be outraged. The western world should be horrified. … Read more
There is no doubt that the word “evangelical” doesn’t mean the same thing it used to mean. The word is used to describe almost anyone who says the name “Jesus” these days.

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform … Read more

The ecumenism demonstrated by Moore and Warren is particularly disturbing because it includes, not just other protestant denominations that could be considered truly Christian, but the apostate Roman Catholic Church. During at least one speaking recent … Read more
Today, a Facebook friend of mine posted an link to an article with the headline, “NBC News: ‘All Americans Will Be Microchipped In Less Than 3 Years.’” The article likens RFID chips to the Mark of the Beast. Such a comparison is representative of the end-times hysteria that has recently gripped popular culture. In … Read more
I’m sure that most of you are familiar with the terms “seeker-sensitive” or “seeker-friendly” to designate a certain category of church. The term is ubiquitous in circles like those in which the Pulpit & Pen runs. It is used of a gamut of churches, from entirely heretical Lakewood Church in Houston and milquetoast Six Flags … Read more
The following is a transcript of a segment from Thursday’s Pulpit & Pen Program. Brian Houston, pastor of the Hillsong United – whatever it is – “church,” had a conversation with one of my friends, Matt, from Canada “eh.” On Twitter, Brian said, “I believe in God the father, I believe in Christ … Read more

I’ve noticed the Ten Commandments displayed around my home town in various places. In Alexander, North Dakota – a short distance from the Montana line – there’s an especially large Ten Commandments display in such a prominent place you have to wonder if it’s on city property. Christians all around the country are following the … Read more
Tony Miano recently wrote an article titled “Abortion Abolition is Not the Gospel“. As far as that goes, we agree with Miano: abolition is not the Gospel.
