[Reformation Charlotte] I’m getting really sick of this push for “unity” in the Church among people across the entire political spectrum–the argument is really tiring. I get it, the vast majority of people on both sides of the political equation are lost. In fact, many have grasped on to conservative politics as a sort of … Read more
Jackie Hill Perry is the militant progressive community organizer and still-butch but former lesbian who has – thanks mostly to Russell Moore, the ERLC, and the Evangelical Intelligentsia – earned top speaking gigs among the New Calvinist lecture circuit, and will even appear alongside John MacArthur at an upcoming conference.

[Medium] Amid backlash, evangelical leaders are finally acknowledging sexual abuse — but not a high-profile preacher allegedly facilitating it. Why? One afternoon in late 2014, a friend told me that he’d been blocked on Twitter by The Gospel Coalition. The sheer power and influence that The Gospel Coalition (TGC) holds is mind-boggling.

[The Cripplegate] Pope Francis made the news for naming Mary “the influencer of God.” He tweeted: This should not come as a shock.

In as simple terms as I can put it, the Missouri Baptist Convention and one of its two educational institutions, Southwest Missouri Baptist University (SBU), have shamed their Lord and Savior.

[CNS News] Some claim that building a wall is a “medieval solution” to a modern problem. The wheel is an ancient solution too. Nobody’s complaining about that. POTUS is on target. Walls do work; as in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah, walls are still viable solutions. Why now? Just days away are the March for … Read more
[World] The success of LGBT activists in dictating how therapists counsel minors about sexuality and gender dysphoria continues to gain momentum as we head into 2019.
