Accounts on social media indicate that a controversial set of stained glass figures have been removed from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, a Southern Baptist institution, in Texas. One of the most offensive things about Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary – other than enrolling Muslims in the school designed to train Christian ministers – is the stained … Read more
Social Religion is spreading throughout American religion like Necrotizing Fasciitis, a dangerous infection that causes tissue death in living bodies. In this case, Social Religion is eating away the Body of Christ. Even the best theologians, like Michael Horton, are completely abandoning the Gospel-commitment they’ve fought their entire careers for, in exchange for sitting at … Read more
Former Southern Seminary student and “racial trauma counselor,” Kyle J. Howard – a friend and advocate of such figures as Russell Moore and Beth Moore – claims that while the Democratic Party may be the party of abortion, the Republican party is the party of White Supremacy. Born to two attorney parents in a high-income … Read more
I appreciate Phil Johnson attempting to do what no others have done, which is to try to defend perceived inconsistencies of Dallas Statement signers for criticizing Social Justice and marking it as grievous teaching while refusing to mark its proponents and continuing to partner with them. All others, up to this point, have flatly rejected … Read more
For too many years Southern Baptists have viewed Calvinism and Traditionalism as the division in our Convention. That isn’t what divides Southern Baptists. What divides Southern Baptists are those who hold to an orthodox understanding of the Gospel as opposed to progressives who promote ethnic Gnosticism and the “tearing down of all hierarchy” to empower … Read more

Among other outlets, Yahoo News has reported that President Donald Trump gave his endorsement to recent state-level initiatives to teach “Bible Literacy” classes in public schools. Trump’s statement has generated a fair amount of controversy, not only among secularists, but Christians as well. While many secularists are openly hostile to the biblical message, some Christians … Read more
I’ve written a number of thoughtful posts examining the futility of marking Social Justice as a grievous evil while yet embracing its most prolific proponents. These included The Dallas Statement is Dead and John MacArthur Killed It, Would Spurgeon Attend G3 (I especially hoped Johnson would respond to this as a Spurgeon connoisseur, but he … Read more
There is a reasonable amount of controversy surrounding the speakers at the recent G3 Conference in Georgia (associated with Pastor Josh Buice of Prays Mill Baptist Church) and the upcoming 2019 Shepherds’ Conference in California (associated with Pastor John MacArthur of Grace Community Church). The controversy does not concern the theological orthodoxy of these speakers … Read more
Wheaton College is so theologically messed up that it has handed over the Billy Graham Center to Ed Stetzer, who has subsequently trotted in the Mystichicks (Moore, Voskamp, Caine) to disciple and teach the students. Ed Stetzer has been on the wrong side (and the money-making side) of every evangelical controversy in the last fifteen … Read more
At one time, the G3 Conference was – along with the Shepherds’ Conference – considered by many of us to be the benchmark of the solid Christian conference. With names that are almost venerable to conservative evangelical believers – Paul Washer, Voddie Baucham, et al – the conference was seen largely as a flashy display … Read more
Who is the worst Christian of 2018? On the surface, this seems like a foolish or even pharisaical question. The fact of the matter is that there are none worthy to stand righteous before God except his perfect son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Every believer struggles with sin every day and will continue to do … Read more
As 2018 comes to close, it is a good time for discerning Christians to take look back at a year of theology and polemics. One way to do so is to review some of the most popular articles published here at Pulpit & Pen. Our top 10 articles, by page views, over the last year are … Read more
On the day of Judgment, the typical crack-dealer on the street corner will have less wrath of God poured out upon him that Thom Rainer. What Thom Rainer has made a career selling, destroys not only the body but the soul. Lifeway ‘Christian’ Resources peddles literally every known heresy under the sun. They have abused … Read more
Last week, leftists and Social Justice Warriors called for a boycott of Pulpit & Pen, which is independent and often times blunt Christian news. Incensed (whether real or fake) at our use of “trigger words” regarding an Intersectional Golden Goose, Jackie Hill Perry, snowflakes melted into a collective puddle on Social Media. Hundreds of Social Justice Warriors … Read more
