Dear Christians, This is my open letter to evangelical women who, like Beth Moore, are courageously championing the movement hashtagged #BelieveWomen and #WhyIDidntReport. While many evangelicals have cast aspersions upon the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez regarding their accusations of sexual impropriety committed at the hands of Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, … Read more
Ireland – Two years ago, David Marsden resigned his position at St Patrick’s College in Maynooth, Ireland. Today, he told the publication, Lumen Fidei, why he resigned. According to Marsden, there is a thriving homosexual subculture at the college that is widely accepted and embraced by the Roman Catholic oversight. St. Patrick’s College is the nation’s … Read more
When Pulpit & Pen first warned about Jen Hatmaker, she was still one of Lifeway’s best-selling authors. Eventually, she crossed the threshold into heresy such that not even Lifeway could tolerate (and that’s saying something). Hatmaker, a popular mommy-blogger and pseudo-Christian teacher came out in support of the sin of sodomy in 2016, and Lifeway … Read more
Dear idiots… That’s how I want to begin this letter, with a pejorative. It is a true pejorative. Christians who defend “Social Justice” on the grounds that the Bible gives us imperatives to help the poor and unfortunate are idiots. They are a specific kind of idiot, however, and not just a random kind of … Read more
Pro-abortion clergy members held a rally in Kentucky earlier this week. On Monday, September 10, the Higher Ground Moral Day of Action was held to promote the abortion of human beings. Clergy members from the Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, and Unitarian-Universalists were among those who gathered to support abortion in the name of Christianity. Over … Read more
If you threw a rock into a crowd of Roman Catholic priests, you would hit a pedophile. While vocational stereotypes aren’t foolproof – like that of postal workers becoming violent or lawyers being scumbags – there is no doubt that the propensity for pedophilia among Roman Catholic clergy is more than coincidentally high. In fact, … Read more
The following is John MacArthur’s third installment on the social justice movement in evangelicalism titled The Injustice of Social Justice. The besetting sin of pragmatic, style-conscious evangelicals has always been that they shamelessly borrow fads and talking points from the unbelieving world. Today’s evangelicals evidently don’t believe the wisdom of this world is foolishness before … Read more
Don’t give all glory to God. Reserve some for yourself. That’s the message of Bethel Church’s Kris Vallotton the popular charismatic prophet and faith healer who helps to lead the Redding, California congregation and is a co-founder of the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. In a blog post originally entitled, Why We Need to Stop Saying … Read more
You might remember when Joel McDurmon, the heir apparent of Rushdoony’s decaying and rotting corpse of Reconstructionism, son-in-law of Y2K conspirator and economist, Gary North, believed that Biblical “justice” required stoning homosexuals. There was a time, back before our debate on theonomy, when Joel McDurmon was an actual textbook theonomist. He has since redefined theonomy … Read more
I don’t think people adequately understand the significance of The Dallas Statement (as I call it) and its reception. Let me put some thoughts down here and explain exactly what has happened and what is happening. As someone who has been covering the mission drift of the Young, Restless and Reformed (YRR) into social progressivism … Read more
SBC Voices, the newly-woke blog for run-of-the-mill Southern Baptist pastors, decided to run an article last week that was a shameful, slanderous hit piece on Dr. John MacArthur. It was a re-post from Terrence Jones, a graduate of TMS. In his opinion piece, Jones levels accusations of racism at both TMS and Dr. MacArthur because … Read more
The Ethics and Religous Liberty Commission needs two things. The first is a strong flashlight, and the other is a can of Raid. Anyone who would still suggest that Russell Moore is theologically sound should take a long step back and look at what he’s done to the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of … Read more
vic·tim·ol·o·gy ˌviktəˈmäləjē/: the possession of an outlook, arising from real or imagined victimization, that seems to glorify and indulge the state of being a victim
HELLO, DARLIN’ You might have noticed that Pulpit & Pen has been inactive for (more or less) the last week. This is for two reasons. The first is that after seeing Facebook so severely throttle links to our podcast or anything related to the L*G_B-T (Facebook won’t let me post that acronym in any status … Read more
Steven Furtick, who named a book “Unqualified” in reference to John MacArthur’s assessment of him, preached a sermon from a non-existent Bible verse. Oddly enough, before preaching from the verse as though it were Inspired Writ (and allegorizing the text at that), Furtick acknowledged that the older (and better) manuscripts do not have the verse. … Read more
