THERE’S MORE TO CONSERVATISM THAN INERRANCY Paige Patterson was instrumental in the so-called Conservative Resurgence in the SBC a generation ago. Along with Paul Pressler and a few other leaders, Patterson championed Biblical inerrancy and used the springboard of Adrian Rogers’ election to the SBC presidency to painfully but successfully begin eradicating the SBC of its non-inerrantists. In … Read more
The heresy of Patripassianism is synonymous with the heresy of modalism, and is called patripassianism from the Latin patri and passio, meaning “father” and “suffer,” because the belief asserts that Christ was the incarnate God the Father who suffered for our sins. This term is used to describe the heresy in the Western Church, when originally the … Read more
**Updated: After being unapologetic, the individual sent me a private apology. I have forgiven him, so I have redacted his name. Back in the hills, however, if you shoot a coyote, you drape it over a fence as a warning to other varmints. So, I’m leaving up the post with his name redacted. Hopefully other … Read more
“RZIM does not have an official ministry position on the doctrines of the Catholic tradition; RZIM focuses its ministry on evangelism and apologetics and strives to stay true to that vision…” Ravi Zacharias International Ministries Some weeks ago, I wrote a critical article about popular RZIM apologist Nabeel Qureshi.

Watch as a man who calls himself a pastor drops his daughter off to work at an abortion clinic, and then proceeds to make excuses for his actions. He claims that his daughter is grown, and he has no control over her actions, yet he participates in her evil deeds by bringing her there to work. Scriptures say to “take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, rather expose them,” (Eph 5:11). Yet, he is partaking in the plagues of his daughter and trying to rationalize his appalling behavior.

“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14, ESV) ERLC Research Fellow and Liberty University professor Karen Swallow-Prior has repeatedly shown a disregard for biblical holiness in her associations. Whether it is attending a “gay Christian” film festival, partnering with unbelievers … Read more

A question I regularly receive is, “Is theonomy compatible with 1689 Federalism?” The answer, for so many different reasons, is no. This information is inconvenient to the few Reformed Baptists out there who also claim to be theonomists, much to their own confusion. They may be theonomists. But if so, they don’t hold to 1689 … Read more
According to Charisma News, the preeminent faith healer, Benny Hinn, has been admitted to the hospital for shortness of breath and heart-related trouble. In fact, Hinn was in intensive care. He had just come back from a prophecy and healing crusade in Brazil, having spoken to hundreds of thousands of people in eager pursuit of … Read more
So many people have been deceived into believing the lie, and, unfortunately, many will take this lie to their grave. This is exactly where the Devil wants you; he wants you to believe that you are a good person and that you don’t need a savior. He wants you to believe that Christianity is a dark force that tries to keep you from following your “good” heart. He wants you to trust in yourself, rather than in Christ Jesus because he knows that Jesus is the only true path to eternal life.
There is no doubt that the word “evangelical” doesn’t mean the same thing it used to mean. The word is used to describe almost anyone who says the name “Jesus” these days. Mormons are referred to as Evangelicals, as are Jehova’s Witnesses, and other unbiblical sects like the New Apostolic Reformation. There is even a … Read more
We have written previously about Russell Moore’s confusing forays into the Gay-“marriage” debate and the inconsistent, ill-thought out comments that he has made regarding questions of morality and Christians advice. Russell Moore has been nipping at the heels of this issue for a while now, throwing pebbles at the window hard enough to make a sound, … Read more

More than one million people — including First Lady, Michelle Obama — have tweeted the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls. But whether they’re helping the roughly 250 schoolgirls kidnapped in Nigeria or hopping on some kind of first-world digital bandwagon depends, frankly, on whom you ask. These stinging words are from a May 8 article in the Washington … Read more
