Jim Bakker is the televangelist who reportedly raped a woman (alongside another evangelist), and was thrown in prison when it was uncovered that he misused ministry funds in a real estate scheme. That investigation began when researchers were trying to unwrap from where Bakker got the hush money to pay off his rape victim. Once … Read more
[Editor’s note: This post is blank for a reason. Stop turning predictable astronomical events into signs and omens. It’s getting old]
In the rush of doing apologetics or polemics, it is important to stop, slow down, and remember the very reason we are engaged in our mission. The reason we do what we do is in part to the precious blood of Christ. The fact is that we are bought at a price, that price is … Read more
Frankly, I don’t know why The ‘Gospel’ Coalition lets women write for their blog who don’t seem qualified to operate from behind the curtain in a children church’s puppet ministry.

As bizarre as some of them can be, even Charismatics have found the new Hillsong music video to be bizarre. Charisma Mag described it as “trippy” and “featuring ghosts” and a “rainstorm of blood.” The lyrics to their new song, P.E.A.C.E., are – as they usually are – generic and meaningless, with only the vaguest … Read more
When you keep casting out doomsday prophecies and none of them come to pass – prophetic calves, Shemitah years, Four Blood Moons and so on – and you’re in the survival food business, it’s bad for business. The new reasons you have to give to scare little old ladies into signing over their social security … Read more
What would a New Years season be without the world’s charismatic prophets claiming a new date for the return of Christ? This New Years season is no different, and charismatics are lining up to declare a date in June. If you listen closely, you can hear Jim Bakker preparing the sale fliers for his survival … Read more
The End Times make for a good profit opportunity. Jim Bakker is selling awful-tasting survival food. John Hagee made a fortune from the failed prophecy of Four Blood Moons. Jonathan Cahn has bounced back from his failed Shemitah prophecy and is now onto other personal revelations. Mike Bickel has just published a book about the … Read more
The following testimony from JD Hall regarding a recent visit to Jim Bakker’s studio and Morningside Ministries was sent to Pulpit & Pen for publishing.

Before Monday’s full solar eclipse, there was predictably a multitude of sources claiming that it was a sign of the end times. Ann Graham Lotz cited unbelieving religious Jews (Who notably reject the divinity of Jesus) in order to claim, Jewish rabbis have historically viewed solar eclipses as warnings from God to Gentile nations. Therefore, my … Read more
Thom Rainer, President of Lifeway ‘Christian’ Resources, believes so much in the principle of Biblical mentorship that he has offered to indiscriminately mentor people for the low low price of only $249.47 per month. To be fair, that price is for the Platinum Mentorship Program, in which you’ll actually be entitled to having a video … Read more

One hundred “evangelical leaders” have taken out a full-page advertisement in the Washington Post. While paying for space to complain about the Commander-in-Chief doesn’t seem to be the most practical way to voice their lisping convictions, it makes sense, as most of the signers aren’t leaders in local churches, which would seem to be the … Read more
