Anyone vaguely familiar with Martin Luther King, Jr. has known this for some time, but the newly released JFK files expose MLK as a sexual pervert with actual documentation. It’s time for The Social Gospel Coalition, Russell Moore, and other evangelicals to stop beatifying this man as an evangelical leader to be admired. The Social … Read more
Vice, which is among the top one hundred websites in America, ran an article about “The Woke Young People Trying to Make Christianity Cool Again.” The term, Woke, is urban slang originating with the pop-culture film, The Matrix, and refers to someone who has been awakened to the important cultural realities around them (for those of … Read more
Perry Noble now runs a business designed to give business advice to churches, on the grounds that – according to him – “churches are businesses.” Noble announced his return to ministry before getting out of rehab for his alcohol issues, and shortly after he was relieved of his position at New Spring Church for addiction … Read more
Through many years of pastoral ministry, I have encountered many so-called evangelical Christians who do not believe in speaking about their faith. Many of them have bought into the philosophy that Christians should only witness Jesus Christ to people by their lifestyle. The mantra of these people goes like this, “You should be a … Read more
To be fair, the “Protestants” were asking for it. They had gathered at the Roman Catholic church for an ecumenical worship service. Apparently missing the entire point of the Reformation, they came together to celebrate the Reformation. If it makes no sense, that’s because it doesn’t. The Catholic Cathedral of St Michael and St Gudula … Read more
The Baptist Faith and Message 2000, the theological confession which unites thousands of Southern Baptist Churches throughout the United States, is quite broad. Its broadness allows churches that may not see eye-to-eye on very particular matters of doctrine to cooperate based upon their affirmation of broader ones. One of the broader theological positions laid out … Read more
“The loss of many Baptists to the cause of Protestantism is one reason why Rome has made such gains in the past century in the United States. It is [an] amazing…ignorance that now exists in many Independent Baptist churches and in the mainline Baptist denominations, about the Protestant Reformation…. It is only in the United … Read more
I am writing this for my church. I think it might be helpful for others, and so I will make it available here. Clearly, certain questions are a matter of adiaphora, and no one should deny the reality that certain ethical questions fall into that category. Adiaphora is a term developed by stoic philosophers and adopted by … Read more

The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission has become the shallow remnants of what it once was. Now with a former Democrat staffer at the helm, the ERLC has been busy promoting animal rights, racial disharmony, Cultural Marxism, and has followed other liberal mainstream denominations in fighting against immigration law. Russell Moore – who serves on … Read more
“Violence in the streets, ladies and gentlemen. Why is it happening? You know what I’d like to give you is, the fact that we have disrespect for authority. There is profound disrespect of our president, all across this nation they say terrible things about him. It’s in the news, it’s in other places. Robertson continued, … Read more
Adam Harwood is Associate Professor of Theology at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (SBC), Director of the Baptist Center for Theology & Ministry, and Editor of the Journal for Baptist Theology & Ministry at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in New Orleans, Louisiana. Harwood made a name for himself promoting ideas best described as semi-Pelagianism and propagating pretty bold denials … Read more
I once heard a colleague make the eyebrow-raising statement, “I’d sooner put a Roman Catholic priest in charge of the nursery than a Pentecostal in charge of the worship music.” A foolhardy and controversial statement, indeed, nonetheless not without warrant. But what would be worse is if both were true. Frank Houston, the deceased founder … Read more
A United Methodist church impastor, Karen Oliveto, is a practicing lesbian. She is also accusing Jesus – that is, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity – of having been a bigot. Currently, the United Methodist church is in a 75-week period dedicated to praying about whether or not the denomination should fully embrace sodomy … Read more
“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward” (Matthew 6:5, ESV) There seems to be a pretty clear prohibition … Read more
