For hundreds of years, the Vatican has been trafficking in the body parts of corpses, raising funds with the nearly endless sales of the remnants of supposed saints. Those body parts harvested not for auction in the Romish church, instead have been put on display (and occasionally on tour) with indulgences handed out … Read more
Michael Brown repeatedly defends the very worst charlatans the charismatic movement has to offer. Michael Brown is not an apologist for God. Michael Brown is an apologist for Montanism. People defending Michael Brown or treating him as a brother in Christ should not. He has clearly demonstrated that his is an enemy of the Lord … Read more

…Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. Such were the instructions of the Apostle Paul to the pastor, Timothy. Men called to the task of Gospel work are to “reprove, rebuke and exhort” both in season and out of season. The words … Read more
If, instead of knowing them by their fruits (Matthew 7:15-16), as Christ told us, false teachers were known by colors, it might seem an easier task.

It’s not at all uncommon for me to receive unsolicited books in the mail in exchange for a kind review (rarely do I), and it’s not uncommon for heretical book sellers to send free books to churches like a drug dealer hands out free crack to get people hooked. When I unexpectedly received Evangelical White Lies … Read more

From the we should’ve written about this already department… Christianity Today reached out to “evangelical leaders” to ask what the pro-life community can learn from the #BlackLivesMatter, and vice versa. One can only wonder if the Downgrade will go so far in evangelicalism that we’ll soon see similar articles about what the pro-life movement can … Read more
The Wall Street Journal picked up the story of the ERLC’s partnership with the radical Humane Society in a post today, entitled Prayers, Puppies and a Political Menagerie. The subtitle for the article was “An Odd Alliance of the Humane Society and Christian Groups.” No kidding. Pulpit & Pen has been saying that for months. … Read more

This is not a subject matter I cover often on this blog, however, since this affects Christians who are against the slaughtering of innocent children, it’s certainly worth a second look.
