Well, this sounds like satire, but it’s not. The world’s largest gathering of notable faith healers are canceling the grand opening of a faith-healing center because of coronavirus. We reported on the grand opening of the Morris Cerullo Legacy International Center on Saturday, mostly because it has a design that looks like a dollar sign … Read more
Steven Strang over at Charisma Mag – who has posted more false prophecy relating to coronavirus than Wuhan has sick-beds – claimed today that “prophet” Chuck Pierce prophesied the coming of coronavirus. He’s also making the claim on his podcast. This claim is spurious and untrue. At the snake-oil blog, Charisma, Strang writes… I recently interviewed … Read more
Upon the top of Mt. Carmel in the 9th Century B.C., Elijah stared down the prophets of Ba’al and Ashera. They promised to be able to get their gods to move by decreeing and declaring positive confessions of their power. They beat their chests and screamed into the heavens. They cut themselves and bled to … Read more
Our intention at Pulpit & Pen is to log all the crazy things charismatic prophets have proclaimed about the coronavirus so that, if nothing else, God uses it to put an end to charismaticism. It really is a religion that needs to die a thousand deaths. The only vaccine is polemics. So far we have, … Read more
As we have been chronicling at Pulpit & Pen religiously (no pun intended), charismatic prophets are going to get people killed with their crack-pottery. It’s one thing to decree-and-declare an end to coronavirus with ineffectual blathering, but it’s another thing to offer horrible medical advice and instill confusion into the global discourse on this pandemic. … Read more
This is getting old, admittedly. We’re trying to chronicle all the crazy things charismatics are saying about the coronavirus. You know, to make fun of them in the future (like God intended). So far we have, Bethel’s affiliated pastor, Shawn Bolz, declared a prophecy that God had ended the virus. Perhaps Bethel didn’t get the memo. … Read more
What’s up with all these posts at P&P today about weirdo charismatic claims about the coronavirus? Well…we’re trying to catch up. It’s hard to do, because charismatics say a lot of dumb things. We want to make fun of them later when this is all over. So far we have, Bethel’s affiliated pastor, Shawn Bolz, declared … Read more
Well, we continue in our marathon of posts about crazy things charismatics have said about coronavirus this week. And we come to Charisma’s Robert Henderson. But for the record, Bethel’s affiliated pastor, Shawn Bolz, declared a prophecy that God had ended the virus. Perhaps Bethel didn’t get the memo. Rodney Howard Browne promised to bind coronavirus from the … Read more
In case you’re unaware, at Pulpit & Pen we are trying desperately to keep up with notating all the crazy claims made by charismatic prophets in relation to coronavirus. We’re losing in that struggle. For the record, Bethel’s affiliated pastor, Shawn Bolz, declared a prophecy that God had ended the virus. Perhaps Bethel didn’t get the … Read more
At Pulpit & Pen, we’re trying to document all the dumb (and often dangerous) things charismatics say during this coronavirus crisis. Instead of going out and healing people (so far they’re at zero healings), they just sit around and give really bad medical advice. For the record, Bethel’s affiliated pastor, Shawn Bolz, declared a prophecy that … Read more
Pulpit & Pen was trying to document all the crazy things said by charismatic prophets about coronavirus so we could come back later and mock them for it (like Elijah mocked the prophets of Ba’al). But it turns out that charismatics say a lot of stupid things, and we weren’t able to keep up. For … Read more
[Christian Post] Some churches including Southern Baptist congregations in Kentucky say they have no plans to shutter amid the new coronavirus epidemic despite a request from Democratic Gov.

Danny Akin is feeling the heat for hiring Karen Swallow Prior, a gay-affirming self-avowed feminist who believes that calling abortion murder is “unchristlike.” Defending himself during a Q&A at FBC Henderson – which by necessity required defending Karen Swallow Prior’s atrocious words, Akin called Prior’s critics “liars.” Quoted by the sunshine-pumping public relations department at … Read more
I never imagined that Danny Akin or Al Mohler would support this sort of thing.” [Baptist News Global] A conservative Christian ethicist told students at a Baptist college March 2 that Marxist ideologies have gained a foothold in at least two of the six seminaries owned and operated by the Southern Baptist Convention. Craig Vincent … Read more
Janet Mefferd blasted SBC President J.D. Greear during an appearance on the Todd Starnes Radio Show Wednesday. Mefferd compared the Beta Male, apologetic performance of Southern Baptist Convention president J.D. Greear to the Alpha Male performance of Omar Suleiman—an allegedly anti-Israel, anti-Semitic Imam.
