If we can give some segments of the charismatic Christianoid world credit for anything, it’s their history of standing firm against the acceptance of the invasion of a militant homosexuality in our culture and the church. Dr. Michael Brown, a well-known figurehead of the charismatic movement, and popular author and writer at CharismaMag, has been very … Read more
Donald Trump, like many nominal Presbyterians, is lost. Everything about his public statements and behavior indicates that, if he died today, Trump would spend an eternity in Hell. This, in and of itself, should concern believers and arouse not their scorn but their compassion. Regardless of how Trump is viewed as a political candidate, his lostness … Read more
Outside of Southern Baptist Seminaries, the editorial pages of The Washington Post & New York Times, and denominational political circles, Russell Moore isn’t that well-known. Moore is a the President of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), the denomination’s least useful entity and best kept open secret. Moore’s … Read more
Steven Furtick recently preached a “sermon” to encourage his members to be patient. Well, more correctly, Furtick delivered a motivational speech on why God is not promptly delivering the fulfillment of desires in compliance with the “harvest season on your schedule.” While patience is a laudable topic for pastoral teaching, when Furtick does it – … Read more
Update. 04.28.20 The sweet resurfaced recently, and Matt has recanted his former beliefs and statement. So that is excellent. The Gospel Coalition, as it’s referred to, has been a patchwork of loose and ambiguous theology, and a melting pot for some really unconventional thinking in evangelicalism. So when I saw the following tweet, I really … Read more
According to Jen Hatmaker’s friend Doug, she would be the result of a procreative union between George Carlin and Beth Moore. According to Beth Moore, Jen Hatmaker is a Bible teacher and communicator with whom she is “honored beyond words” to serve. According to Jen Hatmaker, the church should stop excluding “gaybees.” According to me, … Read more
“Theology is simply that part of religion that requires brains.” G.K. Chesterton I’m not much of a Chesterton fan, but he surely could whip out the incisive witticisms. Still, I’m even less of an Andy Stanley fan. Stanley, the (do I have to call him) “pastor” of North Point Church in Atlanta, just wrapped up … Read more
We were put in charge of the earth, to be sure. God did it, back there in Genesis with His “have dominion” instructions. Man is to steward God’s creation on this planet. Things, as often they do from our depraved, fallen natures, took a bad turn. Being as we are creatures designed to worship, man … Read more
** Editors Note: This article is by Sonny Hernandez, and is being reposted here with permission. The Great Commission is the manifesto that commissions Christians to habitually practice evangelism. Everything in a Christian’s life is corollary to this solemn responsibility. The church must be the citadel that recapitulates the necessity of evangelism, and Christians must … Read more
One of the private evidences of assurance in the remaining, though assuredly long, process of my sanctification is a growing realization that I don’t have to have an opinion on everything. Now, don’t misunderstand, normally I HAVE an opinion, but, praise God, I don’t always feel the gumption to inject myself, or my opinion, into … Read more
This week, a news outlet that faithfully reports on Baptist news (obviously not the Baptist Press) – the Town Talk – reported that Joe Aguillard has been locked out of his office, escorted from campus, fired from his position, and had his title of President Emeritus removed. Rondall Reynoso filled us in on the details, … Read more
**Editor’s note – This post was written by Rondall Reynoso and appeared first at Faith on View. It has been a long time since I wrote about Louisiana College. It has been just over a year and a half. I am writing today because there are developments that essentially put an end to a long and … Read more
C.S. Lewis is a loved writer by much of modern Christianity. While almost no one will deny he is a brilliant writer, many people have brought up concerns about his theology. Mike Abendroth of No Compromise Radio said, “let’s just avoid C.S. Lewis, and when someone is quoting C.S. Lewis to you all the time, … Read more
There was a snake in the garden with a woman. No, not that snake, not that garden, and not that woman. But the curious similarity surely made me think. On a sunny, cool, spring Saturday afternoon, my bride was out planting posies (Tulips, perhaps?) in one of her flower beds. As has happened … Read more
President of Southern Seminary, Al Mohler, can usually be counted on to give measured, reasoned responses to world events and questions. Sadly, he is in grave error on the issue of abortion and abolition. Take his commentary on the Trump abortion fiasco on the April 1, 2016 issue of The Briefing. Nothing he said therein would … Read more
