Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) leaders have lobbied for female leadership in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination for about a year now, most recently throwing out the name of Beth Moore as a possible president of the convention.

Sam Allberry may be a gay Anglican priest, but he is the gay bff of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Ronnie Floyd is the stereotypical megachurch pastor in the SBC. He’s also geared up to leave his home church to climb the denominational career ladder.

It sure as heck is a Republican and Democrat issue. That was my first thought when I saw a screenshot of rump-shaking frat-boy SBC president, JD Greear, saying this on Twitter. With all the serious theological depth of Ronnie Floyd and all the wokeness of Russell Moore, the leftist SBC president is not a useful … Read more
JD Greear, the current SBC President, is proposing changes for the denomination that seek to hold sex predators accountable. That is a good thing. What’s a bad thing is that, if done without regard to ecclesiology, the changes could fundamentally change an important distinctive of the Baptist faith. When rump-shaking, white-guilting, charismatic New Calvinist pastor, … Read more
[Reformation Charlotte] Southern Baptists are leading the way in the cultural Marxist “woke” movement. The movement is a mass structured attack on white people using Marxist ideology right out of the Frankfurt School’s playbook.

If someone bet me 1 to a 1,000,000 that we would never see Dr. Albert R. Mohler and Dr. Paige Patterson in a Casino at the same time, I’d take those odds.

A new member of the ERLC Leadership Council is now accusing his own denomination of racism because there hasn’t been enough “minority interviews” for open entity positions.
