Philippians 3:2-3 “And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.” Acts 11:26, circa … Read more
SBC Voices is a place for regurgitated ideas, unoriginal thoughts, Southern Baptist scuttlebutt in the form of pumped sunshine, and a nearly endless droning on of denomination optimism, oblivious to the doctrinal downgrade and corruption that’s common place in America’s largest evangelical denomination. With material from well-meaning guest posters like this polemicist’s own big brother (link) … Read more

Dan Savage is the founder of the anti-bullying and pro-homosexual It Gets Better Campaign (which ERLC research fellow Karen Swallow Prior called “commonsensical” and “refreshing” and said the church should be “excited” about it – source link).

With roughly the same amount of pages as Louis Berkhof’s Systematic Theology, A Theology of the Family is a daunting book by its sheer size and volume. On the squashable bug meter, this rates five spiders out of five. It’s big. And yet, the book is a fantastic resource that, if read in small doses, … Read more

Perry Noble has put out a video in support of Mark Driscoll, using the account of Barnabas’ “restoration” of John Mark to ministry (which is an interesting retelling).

On The Briefing today, Al Mohler gave his tacit defense for the Intelligentsia’s promotion of Marco Rubio. After piling on Donald Trump in the rather obvious claim Trump isn’t a Christian, Mohler then explains it’s better to support a candidate who by his Confession anathematizes those who believe in justification by faith alone doesn’t believe exactly like … Read more
In a post entitled, National Review Enlists Open Border Zealots to Trash Trump, Julia Hann correctly classified Russell Moore’s immigration views for the publication named after the late Andrew Breitbart. National Review’s effort to take down GOP frontrunner Donald Trump has been billed as a symposium of “conservatives against Trump.” However, that billing may be undermined by the discovery … Read more
Talk about mixing politics and religion. The SBC’s chief ethicist and director of a more than four million dollar budget ERLC, Russell Moore, has referred to a proposed border fence as a “golden calf.” For those unfamiliar, this is a reference to an idol crafted by Aaron at the behest of the Israelites, which solicited God’s … Read more
Denny Burk, professor at Boyce College (SBC), posted an article today stating his indignant antipathy toward Liberty University’s hosting of Donald Trump at their convocation service.
