There is definitely a hoity-toity, pinky-stuck-out, latte-sipping, scarf-wearing, queer vibe at The Gospel Coalition these days. And it’s not just from the whole gaggle of lesbians who write for the social justice organization (there’s quite a few including Rachel Gilson, Rebecca McLaughlin, Jackie Hill Perry, and so on). The organization seems to be influenced largely … Read more
Two men who are primarily responsible for the Southern Baptist Convention’s leftward drift claim that the SBC is not experiencing a leftward drift. Albert Mohler and Danny Akin, two seminary presidents who are stacking their institutions with as many liberals as is humanly possible, made the assertion that the SBC isn’t going liberal earlier this … Read more
Cancel Culture The phenomenon of “cancel culture” has come to the Southern Baptist Convention thanks to leftists in the ‘woke’ Social Gospel movement like JD Greear, Karen Swallow Prior, Russell Moore, and Albert Mohler (whose continual hiring and support of progressive extremists has pushed the SBC to the hard left). Cancel culture occurs when public … Read more
Chris Bolt, a leftist blogger who masquerades as a “conservative” Southern Baptist pundit (but is widely known to be on the ‘woke’ side of any given argument) took potshots at Pulpit & Pen communications manager Cody Libolt last week. Since our writing about Bolt in the post Gone to Hell: Founders Ministries Teams Up With … Read more
Apparently, when Founders Ministries was beaten like a red-headed stepchild over the inclusion of Rachael Denhollander in their documentary trailer last year, the sense was knocked completely out of them. Taken to the woodshed by the SBC’s most compromised, soulless leaders, many hoped that Ascol’s Founders Ministries would stand firm. In the wake of half … Read more
Today Founders Ministries began a 5-part series entitled Revisiting Revoice. It assesses a political and theological battle dividing the PCA and now affecting the Southern Baptist Convention. Churches and denominations continue to divide on how to handle the topic of Same-Sex-Attraction. In recent months, Pulpit & Pen writers have contributed to the discussion by bringing … Read more
The theological ineptness of Karen Swallow Prior, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary’s new professor, knows no limits. In her attempt to defend female preachers, the self-professed feminist and animal rights activist claimed that Jesus broke the Sabbath, making it okay that women bend the Bible’s rules on preaching. Yesterday’s controversy started when Danny Akin – who … Read more
Karen Swallow Prior, the new “research professor” at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, endorsed the Revoice Conference both before and after it was held to “celebrate queer culture.” It turns out they’re still celebrating queerness, and this time doing so by throwing a Taylor Swift-themed party and painting their fingernails together. This isn’t satire. They’re just … Read more
By this point, almost everyone knows that Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, free from the conservatism of Paige Patterson and newly staffed by an army of Social Justice drones from Albert Mohler’s Southern Seminary, fired Dr. Robert Lopez because he kept preaching that God would change the desires of homosexuals if they’re born again. Dr. Lopez … Read more
Jonathan Merritt, a prominent journalist for various Christian publications, called President Donald Trump a “sex offender” in a recent tweet. Jonathan Merritt shares certain communicable attributes with three dollar bills. He lives life with one foot in the closet and the other closet on the fabulously gay red carpet. Merritt, who on a scale from … Read more
In a barely intelligible, stuttering, vaguely-coherent and painfully long answer on his podcast to a question about female preachers, Mohler claimed that the Bible does not allow women to preach to men. The long and stuttering answer from Mohler could have been summarized in two words…Go home. Mohler clearly felt uneasy answering the question and … Read more
He who laughs last laughs best” – The Christmas Prince, 1608 England I don’t know who Chris Bolt is, exactly. He’s one of these twitter personalities who seem to have no life or societal impact other than what happens in 280 characters or less. Once upon a time, however, he blogged. And, Bolt blogged about … Read more
I’m telling this story because James White, Doug Wilson, Tom Buck, and Tom Ascol are promoting Rosaria Butterfield as of late, and I’m convinced that none of them have read her material in depth. Most have applauded Butterfield for this comment and thus assumed that she shares their sexual ethic… Some folks will never learn … Read more
Thousands of Southern Baptists are gravely upset that Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary president Danny Akin – who only weeks ago laughably argued there “was no liberal drift in the SBC – added a radical leftist and feminist to the faculty. In response to the outrage, Danny Akin has released a letter accusing Karen Swallow Prior’s … Read more
In recent tweets, Beth Moore sent Trumpesque insults at Pulpit & Pen and insinuated that our one million monthly readers are mentally challenged. Beth Moore, who appears to be manic in recent videos, is increasingly unstable. Moore has had a rough year, which might be affecting her mental health. She was pummeled by conservative Christian … Read more
