SBC’s Floyd: Doctrine of Unity Demands Decree Against Dissenters

In what might be appropriately compared to that time back in the 16th century when a certain pope, riled by the outrageous Biblical truths being spouted by an up-start academic German monk, issued a papal cease and desist order, Ronnie Floyd, President of the Southern Baptist Convention, has written a perhaps kinder, gentler entreaty with the … Read more

Popular Charismatic Worship Artist, Kari Jobe, Teaching Dangerous Theology

It’s never-ending. The apostasy, the lack of discernment, the gullibility. How can anyone who proclaims the name of Jesus Christ not recognize the dismal state of the professing church? Words cannot even begin to describe the how far away the church is from Christ in these days. The attractions, the concerts, the conferences. People joining … Read more

God Told Ronnie Floyd Racism is One of America’s Greatest Sins

Apparently, if you’re not among the anointed few who believe that racism is ultimately going to be the sin that brings God’s final judgment on America, well then, you just aren’t spiritually alert.

Azusa & Apostates: A Serpent Among The SBC

There was a snake in the garden with a woman.   No, not that snake, not that garden, and not that woman. But the curious similarity surely made me think. On a sunny, cool, spring Saturday afternoon, my bride was out planting posies (Tulips, perhaps?) in one of her flower beds.   As has happened … Read more

Ed Stetzer, the Executive Director of Gospel Compromise and Ecumenical Outreach … no, wait, he’s the Executive Director of LifeWay Research. What was I thinking?

Guilty by Association or Accessory to Heresy?

Almost every time someone points out the evils of partnering with heretics, sharing the stage with false teachers, or in any way violating the “one degree of separation” rule clearly laid out in Scripture, the complaints of labeling them “guilty by association” begin.

THE SBC: 100 Days of Narcissistic Prophet Syndrome Remaining?

Ronnie Floyd has 100 days remaining at the helm of the SBC.  The prophetic mantle shall be passed to another.  The fire from heaven shall be enjoined to the next mega-church golden boy of the Convention.  The power of vision casting will transfer to the next anointed one, the next one in line as “God’s … Read more

JD Greear – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

I have to admit that when I first heard the news that JD Greear would be nominated for next SBC president by Jimmy Scroggins, my first reaction was, “well…it could be worse!” Afterall, Greear’s sermons are usually solid, he’s “reformed” (for whatever that’s worth these days), and he does have an approachable personality–and anybody would … Read more

Who is Killing the SBC?

Or who is killing the SBC? It’s Dave Miller. No, not that Dave Miller because he’s awesome. This Dave Miller. The Company Man™. That’s who is killing the SBC. Well, not really The Company Man™ per se. To us at Pulpit & Pen, Miller is just an archetype. He’s an exemplar. He’s the quintessence, the embodiment, the epitome … Read more
