Hundreds of Social Justice Warriors … Read more
Since Old Testament times homosexuality has been an uncontroversial topic among God’s people. It’s sinful. That’s that; no argument, no debate. However, recent developments in Western society have caused homosexuality to become a hot-button issue in the public arena. In the wake of what Baptist theologian and pundit Albert R. Mohler has labeled “the Moral … Read more

The internet was abuzz today, especially the mainstream media, with criticism of Donald Trump. While daily criticism of the President is nothing new, today’s story is unique in that it has a religious overtone. Trump, along with the other living US Presidents, was in attendance at today’s funeral service for George H. W. Bush. The … Read more
How often do polemics books hit the market? It’s not that often, especially from academia. Most modern scholarship, much in contrast to the work of the Patristic Fathers which was almost entirely polemical, exists to promote theological ideas rather than expose false ones. The bristling at polemical or irenic theology is in part responsible for … Read more
W.C. Fields, the Baptist journalist, has passed away. You probably don’t know who he is, but if you had much understanding of Baptist life from the 1960s through 1980s, you probably would. And if you’ve ever heard of the Conservative Resurgence in the Southern Baptist Convention, know that W.C. Fields was a major player in … Read more
Three false ministers, including one who identifies as homosexual and another as polyamorous, recently told the Huffington Post that they believe that sex before marriage is “not sinful,” and that it is rather “unreasonable,” “outdated and silly” to expect people to stay chaste until marriage.

Imagine being spat upon, occasionally accosted, and regularly cursed, all because people hate God’s law and find no use for God’s Gospel. Now, imagine local pastors gather together to co-write and sign a letter publicly condemning … Read more

Melt them down, says progressive Christian author and theologian Nadia Bolz-Weber, and create something completely new.

Twitter has now banned “deadnaming,” which means referring to “transsexuals” by their real names (“transsexual” is scare-quoted because it’s scientifically impossible to change your sex, so no “transsexual” actually exists or has ever existed). Deadnaming can also refer to calling anybody by their real name, instead of the fake name they prefer. For example, when … Read more
Here’s why you should not turn the lights dark during worship. 1. By default, spotlights are on the stage. The people on the stage then have “the spotlight.” People should never have the spotlight (Jesus should). This creates celebrities, emphasizing the spectator-model rather than participant-model of worship. Dark theaters are for cinema, bars and music … Read more

Two Hell’s Angels bikers were photographed with the famous “red kettle” and ringing the Salvation Army kettle bell. They were photographed with several patches on their biker gear, some which are assumed racist (like the Confederate flag patch) and others that are much less-ambiguously racist (a patch that says “Aryan,” a reference to Nazi anti-semitism). … Read more
Leighton Flowers hates the Sovereignty of God. Sure, he redefines it into something more tolerable as an altar of his own self-righteousness. But make no mistake about it, this important attribute of God, Flowers hates. He’s always looking for a recent expat of Calvinism to highlight on his program, which is singularly focused on extolling … Read more
