Martin Luther King Jr. was a thought leader, a civil rights activist, and an icon. King, although articulate and pivotal, was not necessarily essential to the Civil Rights Movement even though he was central to it. Others came before him and stood beside him to free mankind from the tyranny of discrimination and remnants of … Read more
One year ago today, I stood in the pulpit and preached a sermon entitled Social Justice is Not the Gospel. The text was from Colossians 2, and I named Social Justice among the vain philosophies and empty deceits that are according to human traditions and the spirits of our age that take captive Christians and … Read more
Former Southern Seminary student and “racial trauma counselor,” Kyle J. Howard – a friend and advocate of such figures as Russell Moore and Beth Moore – claims that while the Democratic Party may be the party of abortion, the Republican party is the party of White Supremacy.

Russell Moore attacked Donald Trump so vehemently and relentlessly during the presidential primary (Moore had the entire ERLC turned into a shameless Rubio PAC), that Trump referred to him as a “very nasty guy with no heart.” Perhaps Trump knew that Moore, even then, was a financial partner of George Soros. Regardless, it seems that … Read more
I appreciate Phil Johnson attempting to do what no others have done, which is to try to defend perceived inconsistencies of Dallas Statement signers for criticizing Social Justice and marking it as grievous teaching while refusing to mark its proponents and continuing to partner with them. All others, up to this point, have flatly rejected … Read more
Editor’s Note: On April 3-4, 2018, a joint effort of The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) and The Gospel Coalition (TGC) hosted the national conference “MLK50: Gospel Reflections from the Mountaintop,” celebrating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. What the conference failed to mention was the lack of moral integrity of Martin Luther … Read more

Fred Butler was called by Brannon Howse the “Grace to You Mailroom Guy.” Butler is more than that. He’s the unofficial resident blogger at Grace to You, who for some reason heads up GTY’s Senior Citizen volunteer division (or something like that) instead of doing what seems to make far more sense, which is writing … Read more

Russell Moore, the most prominent protege of Albert Mohler, wants to rename the chapel at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, “Mohler Chapel.” Moore is a communitarian, leftist and social justice advocate in the vein of Sojourner’s Jim Wallis, with whom he serves on George Soros’ Evangelical Immigration Table. Moore has done more to push a radical globalist … Read more
Frankly, Russell Moore started this whole mess. The left-of-center Communitarian, former Democratic staffer, George Soros acolyte and social progressive leader of the Southern Baptist’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) mainstreamed Critical Race Theory and Cultural Marxism among the once-conservative demographic of the SBC and “Reformed” evangelicalism through his MLK50 event earlier this year. Venerating … Read more

It’s no secret that Southern Baptist entity heads have threatened their employees not to sign the Dallas Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel.

It was Russell Moore’s hard push leftward that led – in part – to the Dallas Statement, also known as the Social Justice and the Gospel Statement.

Mohandas Gandhi is often attributed with a quotation actually spoken by American union worker, Nicholas Klein in 1918. Both men knew a thing or two about resistance to overwhelming force, but it was Klein who actually penned the phrase, “First they ignore you. Then, they ridicule you. Then, they attack you and burn you. And … Read more
