In the wake of Donald Trump’s comments regarding the banning of Islamic immigrants in the United States until the government can “figure out what’s going on,” the Southern Baptist Convention has seized the opportunity to rebuke Trump’s popular stance, and paint those who agree with him, especially Christians, as anti-religious freedom, anti-missionary, and unchristian. In … Read more
It’s become very apparent in recent months that the Evangelical Intelligentsia (EI) has chosen their candidate in the 2015 Republican primary, and it’s not an evangelical. We wrote about this earlier in the week in a previous post. There are a number of reasons why the EI does not care for the most conservative evangelical … Read more
The Past It is becoming abundantly clear that the Evangelical Intelligentsia has chosen their candidate in the 2016 Republican primary election, and it’s not the evangelical. It’s not even a Christian. No, it’s former Mormon and current Catholic (and still-protesting Protestants don’t consider that an improvement), Marco Rubio. Russell Moore has led the support for Rubio, … Read more
When we first started reporting on Karen Swallow Prior’s ungodly capitulation to the abortion industry in our very first post on her, in which she stated she desired to drop labels like “pro-choice” and “pro-life” in favor of seeking “common ground” with abortionists, Pulpit and Pen received quite a bit of backlash. We even lost … Read more
Rallying for the defunding of Planned Parenthood isn’t inflammatory rhetoric; it’s political engagement. Videos depicting the self-damning words and actions of Planned Parenthood officials isn’t yellow journalism; it’s investigative reporting. On the other hand, referring to abortion providers as “abortion ghouls,” clinic volunteers and workers as “deathscorts” or “bloodworkers,” and women who obtain abortions as … Read more
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Isaiah 5:20 Abortion is an unjustified killing of a human being; abortion is murder. The medical practitioner who performs an abortion is a murderer and the mother who … Read more
This is an article I never thought I would have to write. And yet, my love for Spurgeon compels me to save our bearded hero from being kidnapped by a Shakespeare-quoting self-pronounced feminist and her legion of gay fans, shoving him gagged and bound into an animal rights pigeon hole. In an article originally entitled, … Read more
Last week I reported on Southern Baptist president, Ronnie Floyd, participating in the Onething Conference put on by the apostate IHOP (International House Of Prayer) Church, founded by New Apostolic Reformation “prophet” Mike Bickle. I even went out on a limb and speculated that he may be attempting to unite the Southern Baptist Convention with … 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
Arguably one of the most spiritually dangerous cults in the world today, IHOP (International House of Prayer), headed by the New Apostolic Reformation’s false prophet, Mike Bickle, is hosting its annual Onething Conference December 28-31. IHOP, known for it’s youth-targeted, stage-managed productions of audio-visual, hyper-sensual emotional stimuli that simulates a spiritual revival, will be hosting … Read more
The Baptist “Press” reports Ronnie Floyd’s admonition to Southern Baptist pastors that a good vision can bring in the money. The President of the SBC (nominated by Albert Mohler and JD Greear for two consecutive terms), who happens to have a fire engine baptistry in his church that shoots confetti over the children’s church audience … Read more
…it sounded like an uncomfortable attempt by an eighth grade girl trying to explain her parents’ views, of which she isn’t fully convinced herself. It, frankly, reminded me of the same uncomfortable squirming one sees when Osteen addresses the topic of hell. It was painful to watch. Never using the word sin, addressing the topic of repentance … Read more
Pulpit & Pen was the first to report on the capitulation of the evangelical community to LGBTs by their participation in Level Ground’s film festival event which seeks to find common ground between homosexuals and Christians, and ultimately normalize homosexual behavior within the church. Pulpit & Pen received quite a bit of backlash on social … Read more
**Editor’s note: As we’ve reported on a number of times, Level Ground is a gay-affirming organization that puts on events in which it purports to have a conversation with Christians about homosexuality. This event, in which well-known ERLC research fellow, Karen Swallow Prior, is closely associated with is touted as an LGBT film festival. It … Read more
On Karen Swallow Prior If you’re like me, you are very likely to be found, on any given Sunday afternoon, sprawled out upon your mother’s or grandmother’s couch, half-awake, stuffed full of meat-and-three, and flipping through the Sunday paper or watching Yankee football (also known as NFL football ). This was the position in which I … Read more
