In a move that should surprise no one paying attention, the Elites of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) dismissed any critic accusing the convention of leftward drift as being “disingenuous” and “historically ignorant,” saying they’re not going to let small churches with 15 members influence what they do, during a June 9th virtual panel hosted … Read more
Albert Mohler is not a trustworthy man. He is not an honest man. He is not a good man. And he is not a courageous man. He is a liar, a fraud, a cheat, and a deceiver of the church. Whatever benefit-of-the-doubt Mohler has earned over several decades of service has been riotously spent like … Read more
When Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Church on October 31, 1517, the unexpected result was the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. Luther still believed in purgatory, the supremacy of the Pope, the immaculate conception, and even the right use of indulgences at that time. His intention was to attack the … Read more
There’s been no shortage of parachurch ministries that have gone ‘woke’ in the last several years. Most notably, organizations for young adults like Cru (formerly Campus Crusades for Christ) and InterVarsity have traded the real Gospel for the Popularity Gospel. But agonizingly, the leftists have even set their eyes on children. Awana is the latest … Read more
Earlier today, the President of the Southern Baptist Convention, JD Greear, used his annual address to promote social justice, signal his virtue, call for affirmative action in denominational hiring, and support Black Lives Matter. Greear gave his annual address virtually because the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting was canceled due to the Cornavirus Panic of … Read more
As a student and teacher in the counter-cult movement for many years, I have both studied and taught how new faith-systems spawn from infancy and grow into full-fledged organized religions. It is my assessment, in no uncertain terms, that what America is witnessing is the birth of a new religion that will dwarf all other … Read more
The Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant denomination in the United States and a one-time conservative network of autonomous churches, has suffered a record decline in membership, attendance, and baptisms after fixating heavily on “social justice.” Question: What if honored SBC leaders are not only incapable of fixing the denomination’s decline, but they were in … Read more
In November of 2018, Jackie Hill Perry tweeted out that the Gospel did not belong to the “white man.” I tweeted out the obvious; neither is Christianity the exclusive property of militant, butch black women. The Internet then exploded. I haven’t been back to Twitter since. Apparently, militant butch black women can say any horrendous … Read more
The assurances and claims from Albert Mohler and Danny Akin that their seminaries haven’t experienced “liberal drift” have been exposed as absurdly fraudulent, thanks largely to the work of SEBTS graduate, Jon Harris. Using video, writings, and personal testimonies of students and professors, Harris has led a string of whistleblowers to testify credibly to what … Read more
As Dr. Russell Fuller spoke against the promotion of a professor named Matthew J. Hall, Al Mohler seethed. Hall, a darling of progressive evangelicals, was an up-and-coming academic at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS). Fuller was a Hebrew professor with two decades of experience at SBTS. Being a full professor, it was Dr. Fuller’s responsibility … Read more
In an op-ed that we would have gladly posted here at Pulpit and Pen, Frank Wright, president and CEO of D. James Kennedy Ministries, warmed the cockles of our hearts when he took to the proverbial woodshed several organizations, entities and ministries that are definitely behaving badly and could using a good whupping. Titled Biblical … Read more
Why does wokeness and the urgent plea for “racial reconciliation” not apply to Jews, one should ask Matt Chandler. In fact, JD Greear and most of America’s socially-progressive hipster pastors should have to answer that question. Why is racial insensitivity the unpardonable sin but anti-Semites get a pass? What is about Jew-hating that makes it … Read more
[Capstone Report] How do Southern Baptists feel about women pastors? What about women deacons? Well, we will soon find out. SBC President J.D. Greear named Ed Stetzer as chairman of the 2020 SBC Resolutions Committee. Stetzer has served over two years as Interim Teaching Pastor at Moody Church. And Moody Church has women deaconesses. The … Read more
When the last queen of France, Marie Antoinette, had her head taken in the French Revolution it was because of her alleged comment, “Let them eat cake.” As the French people suffered from a lack of bread, the queen’s total disconnectedness from the plight of people led her to verbal bewilderment as to why they … Read more
I awoke this morning and saw the polemics headlines coming out of the unofficial but more successful versions of the Baptist Press, Reformation Charlotte and Capstone Report. Blissfully unaware of most headlines reported on during my weekly Sabbath rest, I opened my eyes to see the following: SBC Pastor’s Conference speaker’s church does Satanic choreographed … Read more
