As we’ve reported ad nauseam, the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) is being utilized as a Political Action Committee (PAC) for Roman Catholic presidential contender, Marco Rubio. ERLC president and former Democratic staffer, Russell Moore, shares a number of ideological similarities with Rubio, not the least of which is their mutual … Read more
It is always disturbing to find Christians who carry the name, label, or implication that they are Bible-believing, conservative, and doctrinally orthodox but who mess up in significant ways when given a visible platform. Obviously not all such mistakes approach the gravity of heresy, but truth-loving people should speak up to correct errors either way, … Read more

Say it were 1937 in Germany and you had the opportunity to vote in an election that pitted a guy who wants to shove all the Jews in Europe into ovens against a guy who runs on a platform that, if the SS wants to shove Jews into ovens, they’ll at least have to do … Read more

It, frankly, reminded me of the same uncomfortable squirming one sees when Osteen addresses the topic of hell. It was painful to watch. Never using the word sin, addressing the topic of repentance … Read more
