Bruce Jenner is a man. There, I wrote it again. Bruce Jenner is a man. Facebook Community guidelines may prohibit my free speech, and as a private corporation they can certainly be as fascist as they want to be, but they cannot change biological facts. Facebook Community Standards cannot make up into down, black into … Read more
I made a comment last week about “ex-gay” Christian celebrities who still identify as (celibate) homosexuals and who, frankly, still act gay. You know what I’m talking about…they are light in the loafers, limp in the wrists, smooth in the elbows, plays for the other team, queer as a three dollar bill. I’m talking Jonathan … Read more
Technically, it wasn’t John MacArthur who was most responsible for The Dallas Statement, also known as the “Social Justice and the Gospel Statement.” MacArthur’s name, however, stands out as hovering above the rest in notoriety. In actuality, the statement was very much a grass-roots effort of concerned evangelicals who have stood witness as a political … Read more
You might know Jonathan Cahn from the failed predictions in his best-selling book, The Harbinger, which seeks to draw parallels between Israel’s past and America’s present. Or you might know Jonathan Cahn from the failed predictions of “The Mystery of the Shemitah,” another best-selling book that claimed a “shaking” was going to take place between 2015 … Read more
There are untold myriads of homosexuals in Southern Baptist churches. Of that, there is little doubt and of no surprise. Many homosexuals have taken the path of Jonathan Merritt, the homosexual son of former SBC president, James Merritt, and live a lifestyle of ambiguous sexuality. Some are emboldened toward a trend in once-conservative evangelicalism that … Read more
I think we all knew an “I told you so” was obligatory. Nonetheless, we told you so. You can insert all the outrage you want about that, signal your own virtue, and claim that “I told you so” is uncouth, unchristian, or arrogant. But whatever; both we and you deserve it. We are so incredibly … Read more
Here are the facts regarding the endless virtue signaling of evangelicals in relationship to the current (and manufactured) immigration “crisis” regarding children being separated from parents. First, people who invade our country illegally should be detained until they can be tried and dealt with according to the law. Second, we do not want to incarcerate … Read more
The informal theme of the 2018 Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting was supposed to be “wokeness,” an awareness of Social Justice and the supposed importance of its various Marxist implications. The SBC-sponsored veneration of Martin Luther King Jr – a man of dubious theological beliefs and abysmal moral character – at the MLK50 event leading … Read more
Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (SWBTS) trustees were under immense outside pressure during yesterday’s meeting to oust long-term president and bulwark of the Conservative Resurgence, Paige Patterson. Patterson, an old war-horse of conservative evangelicalism, has survived many scandals over his tenure. From protecting rapist, Darrell Gilyard to enrolling Muslims in the seminary as an evangelism strategy, … Read more
The comment might have been made tongue-in-cheek, watching the boisterous American bishop give an irreverent sermon at the royal wedding between Harry Mountbatten-Windsor and Meghan Markle. However, the pro-gay women’s conference speaker, Jen Hatmaker, might not have been kidding. Hatmaker came out in affirmation of sodomy in April of 2016, demanding that churches accept and approve … Read more
The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, who’s budget of over four million dollars of Cooperative Program funds, is regularly employing its time and money to publicize the personal endeavors of its director, even when it has nothing to do with ethics or religious liberty. Having a major multi-media arm paid for by Southern Baptists in … Read more
Pulpit & Pen has been in this business for a while now. We’re in the business of speaking freely and we speak freely as an exercise of our religion, while also speaking (or writing) under the protection of the First Amendment. Federal Courts have ruled that bloggers have the same rights as all journalists, and … Read more
How many times does someone have to make false prophecies before you can call them a false prophet? According to the Bible, the answer is “only once” (Deuteronomy 18:22). How many time does someone have to make false prophecies before Michael Brown calls them a false prophet? There doesn’t seem to be a limit. Twenty-five … 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
“You shall have no other gods before me.” – Exodus 20:3 Jen Hatmaker has created a god of her own delusions.
