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
“Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each man’s work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work. If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will receive … Read more
In the past, many have reported on Andy Stanley’s many theological blunders, ranging from claiming that Jesus’ teachings can help you have a better life, even if you don’t believe in Him to telling believers to bake a gay wedding cake. Despite these issues, Russell Moore has invited him to speak at the 2016 Ethics and … Read more

Barnabas Piper, the celebrity pastor’s troubled son-turned-blogger-turned Lifeway employee, hosts a podcast brought to you by “Lifeway Leadership.” Lifeway is a Southern Baptist owned entity, widely known for the grossly unhealthy selection of scandalous Word-Faith, anti-Trinitarian, Prosperity Gospel, Omen Interpretation, Astrology and Mysticism books at their retail chains.

The Southern Baptist Convention’s 2016 Pastors’ Conference will be held in St. Louis, MO on June 12-13.

Todd Pruitt, at the 1517 blog (which is affiliated with the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals), begins a post on the topic of Piper speaking with Christine Caine at Passion ’16 with the following… Is it consistent with the complementarianism of CBMW, TGC, and Danvers to share preaching duties with a woman preacher? Was it wise for … Read more
But they’re reaching people. They’re reaching people who wouldn’t be reached otherwise. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard that I could get Creflo the 70 million dollar jet he’s been wanting. I could ride in better style than Ed Young’s Ferrari. I could release my bowels in more luxury than Joyce Meyer … Read more
What did they say when you warned them about the Kansas City Prophets and the New Apostolic Reformation and all the wicked things that happen there?

Floyd, who was introduced by IHOP founder Mike Bickle, as “the President of America’s largest denomination,” in his opening statement said, I’m not here tonight to … Read more
I named my daughter Piper, after John Piper. I regretted that terribly the moment John Piper invited Rick Warren to speak at the 2011 Desiring God conference, lending him his credibility and, I believe, metaphorically kissing his ring. That was too much for me. Since then, Piper has repeatedly partnered with the Mystichicks, Ann Voskamp, Beth … Read more
“Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to your husbands, ‘Bring, that we may drink!’ (Amos 4:1 ESV) As most readers of P&P know, there are many, many troubling things regarding Beth Moore. You can find all of … Read more
