John MacArthur told a wild-eyed lunatic prophetess to “go home,” and every budding feminist in the Western hemisphere had to melt down with hot-flashes of uncontrollable rage. We get it. What MacArthur said was absolutely inconsiderate of Keith Moore, who would have to scurry upon his rooftop to live a peaceable life should Beth ever … Read more
Cancel Culture The phenomenon of “cancel culture” has come to the Southern Baptist Convention thanks to leftists in the ‘woke’ Social Gospel movement like JD Greear, Karen Swallow Prior, Russell Moore, and Albert Mohler (whose continual hiring and support of progressive extremists has pushed the SBC to the hard left).

Here are four crucial biblical reasons why women should not be preaching. Before we look at these, it is imperative that the definition of preaching be established as the Bible portrays it and not as the culture has re-defined it.

Religion News Service (RNS), a progressive news outlet, referred to Founders Ministries as “Neo-Calvinists” in a hit-piece yesterday. That … Read more
According to web rank, Pulpit & Pen has more readers than the Religion News Service, the Baptist Press, Charisma News, and other major Christian News publications.

Although the proposal to affirm sodomy failed at this week’s 2019 General Conference – and its failure was indeed a surprise – nothing is changing about the United Methodist Church.

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.

How often do polemics books hit the market? It’s not that often, especially from academia. Most modern scholarship, much in contrast to the work of the Patristic Fathers which was almost entirely polemical, exists to promote theological ideas rather than expose false ones.
