“The loss of many Baptists to the cause of Protestantism is one reason why Rome has made such gains in the past century in the United States. It is [an] amazing…ignorance that now exists in many Independent Baptist churches and in the mainline Baptist denominations, about the Protestant Reformation…. It is only in the United … Read more
I am writing this for my church. I think it might be helpful for others, and so I will make it available here. Clearly, certain questions are a matter of adiaphora, and no one should deny the reality that certain ethical questions fall into that category. Adiaphora is a term developed by stoic philosophers and adopted by … Read more

In this year marking the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, articles about Martin Luther (1482-1546), have been popping up like mushrooms, including rather critical ones, blaming him even for things like transgenderism. Luther was certainly a flawed human being and tended to get a bit crusty at times. At any rate, Luther … Read more
Jen Hatmaker is the popular mommy-blogger and evangelical preacher who was once part of the in-crowd of lady pastors on the mysti-chick speaking circuit. That was, until 2016 when she told Jonathan Merritt (a popular Christian journalist who has had his own homosexual encounters) that she supported sodomy-based marriages and claimed that they could be “holy.” … Read more
They billed the event as a “Holy Spirit Woodstock.” The term hippies might be a broad brush to describe the charismatics flocking to the National Mall to take part in the ecstatic mind-altering worship experiences led by New Apostolic Reformation gurus like Lou Engle, but it’s hard to deny that the experience-driven, rhapsodic worshipers … Read more
It sounds conspiratorial, no doubt. But sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. As though the Freemasons weren’t creepy enough, they’re sponsoring a program to help collect the bio-data of children and store it away for future reference. Nothing to see here, Citizen. Move along. The program is called MoChip, and it’s designed as … Read more
The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission has become the shallow remnants of what it once was. Now with a former Democrat staffer at the helm, the ERLC has been busy promoting animal rights, racial disharmony, Cultural Marxism, and has followed other liberal mainstream denominations in fighting against immigration law. Russell Moore – who serves on … Read more
“Violence in the streets, ladies and gentlemen. Why is it happening? You know what I’d like to give you is, the fact that we have disrespect for authority. There is profound disrespect of our president, all across this nation they say terrible things about him. It’s in the news, it’s in other places. Robertson continued, … Read more
I once heard a colleague make the eyebrow-raising statement, “I’d sooner put a Roman Catholic priest in charge of the nursery than a Pentecostal in charge of the worship music.” A foolhardy and controversial statement, indeed, nonetheless not without warrant. But what would be worse is if both were true. Frank Houston, the deceased founder … Read more
The Village Church, pastored by Matt Chandler, currently has a multisite model that consists of five satellite campuses in addition to their main campus. Just recently, Chandler announced that they would be shifting away from the multisite model. By 2022, the Village Church plans for each Church to be autonomous and have their own names, … Read more
Harvest Bible Church has released a statement, explaining to its members that James MacDonald has been released from his leadership position. Oddly enough, they have retained him as a preacher and teacher, but don’t want him to help lead the church. The Elders want to do a better job of overseeing our church during challenging … Read more
Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. –2 Timothy 2:23 I must admit it’s been fascinating to watch the hordes of professing Christians get fired up this past week after Donald Trump’s speech calling NFL players who kneeled during the pledge of allegiance or singing of the national anthem … Read more
A letter twenty-five pages long laid out the perceived heresies committed, taught or espoused by Pope Francis, was signed by 40 Roman Catholic Leaders and delivered to him to consider. Nearly two weeks later, the Pope has not responded and those Roman Catholic leaders have made their letter public, conjoining it with the “Feast of … Read more
I would like to preface this article by stating that I have no reason to believe that our brother in Christ, Nabeel Qureshi, is not in the presence of the Almighty God at this moment. Nabeel credibly professed faith in Christ alone–even humiliating himself in the face of real persecution to see the gospel go … Read more
