The Liberal Influence on Children and Karen Swallow Prior

As a teacher at a Christian university, with as much renown as Prior, her opinions are highly sought after. She writes for many publications on a regular basis, and has a clan-like following that would defend her to no end. While being tied up around the issue of homosexual affirmation, some of her other liberal ideologies have been overlooked, but should be given attention. Two important issues that can affect your children; she supports the liberal Common Core education program, and she practices and defends authentic Yoga, a form of Pagan Hindu mysticism.

Southern Baptists, Tear Down These Buildings!

Russell Moore, to the echoing sound of cheap applause, has called for South Carolina to remove the Confederate Flag in light of the recent shooting in Charleston. Moore has stated… “The cross and the Confederate flag cannot co-exist without one setting the other on fire…” As Pulpit & Pen argued previously, the problem is not mere … Read more

The Weightiness Of Fatherhood And Why We Shouldn’t Forget The Fatherless

According to the National Fatherhood Initiative and the U.S. Census Bureau,  out of 24 million children in America — one out of every three — live in biological father-absent homes.

Sundays are for Sabbath Rest

[Editor’s Note: Some P&P Contributors hold to the 1689 Confession, some are Calvinistic dispensationalists that do not, and one rowdy contributor isn’t even a Calvinist – the horror.

Douglas Wilson’s Glorious Response to Russell Moore’s Racial Grandstanding

The always-pointed, brilliant mind of Douglas Wilson has responded to what Pulpit & Pen can only describe as racial grandstanding on the part of Russell Moore.

Protecting Your Church Against Mass Violence

It’s another sad day in America. A church was shot up, with nine dead. The victims were black and the shooter was white. Not surprisingly, the alleged perpetrator was a young man on psychotropic drugs. He fled. He was caught. Blood runs in the church. Also not surprisingly, President Obama is using the tragedy to … Read more

Russell Moore partnering with New Apostolic Reformation to advance the "Social Gospel."

The concept of “social justice” is not new, it’s been around for ages. It’s the antithesis to personal responsibility. The New Oxford American Dictionary defines “social justice” as “The objective of creating a fair and equal society in which each individual matters, their rights are recognized and protected, and decisions are made in ways that are fair and honest.” On the surface this sounds like a noble cause, but in reality, it doesn’t work that way. In practice, social justice removes the notion of personal responsibility, and places the burden of individuals on the backs of society. A society devoid of personal responsibility will naturally result in laziness, crime, and a complete lack of motivation for advancement, and eventually total collapse of the society. The social justice system comes in the form of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, disguised as something good, yet it is opposed to the will of God, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Dinosaurs and Danny Akin

You see this awesome dinosaur display? That’s from the Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum in Glendive, Montana. This happens to be the next town up the highway from me with a stoplight – only about 50 miles away. Glendive is a nice community and, like my own, is nestled on the banks of the Yellowstone … Read more

Is Bruce Jenner a “Freak”? Only if Definitions Matter.

Is Bruce Jenner a freak? Such a nasty term, isn’t it? Russell Moore – director of the SBC’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) – tells Christians how we must respond to Bruce Jenner in light of his decision to deform his appearance through the use of surgery and drugs… We do not see our … Read more

The Evangelical Counter-Reformation

If you ask the average Evangelical church-goer today what the difference is between Protestantism and Catholicism, you’re likely to get a variety of answers. Some will tell you that Catholics believe in a works salvation, but many won’t really understand what that means. Others may tell you that Catholics worship Mary and Protestants don’t. But the overwhelming majority are likely to have no idea what the difference is, and this is rather disturbing. While many of these people will be able to articulate the Gospel, Catholicism is quickly becoming seen as “just another denomination,” with some strange twists. They are no longer being seen as the counterfeit Church, the ancient enemy of the Gospel that the reformers fought so hard and gave their lives to expose and separate from. The muddying of these waters is not unaccounted for, however, and it comes as no surprise, since today we have so many Evangelicals afraid to speak out against Rome, and fornicating with her in many ways.

“Call Me Caitlyn.” How ‘Bout No.

I have a little daughter of three years, named Piper Grace. Piper, like many children of her age, has an imaginative personality and a very expressive vocabulary – in short, she talks without ceasing. Rarely is there an idea in her head that doesn’t proceed from her adorable little mouth. Whether Piper is sharing her … Read more

Russell Moore is Senior Editor for Catholic/Protestant Ecumenical Magazine

Any true Bible-believing Christian who knows anything at all about the doctrines of Catholicism, and Eastern Orthodox “christianity” knows that Biblical Christianity shares absolutely nothing with these two counterfeit religions in the most fundamental doctrine of the faith–salvation. In fact, these two religions consistently deny many of the “fundamental doctrines of the faith as revealed in Holy Scripture” in preference of their traditions. Many of their doctrines, such as sacramental, or works-based salvation, idolatrous forms of Mary and Saint veneration, Purgatory, Papal infallibility, and transubstantiation of the Eucharist, just to name a few, are extremely dangerous doctrines that turn people away from the truth of the Scriptures. The Scriptures clearly and consistently tell us to have nothing at all to do with these false doctrines, rather expose them (Eph 5:11). These false religions are the works of darkness. They are designed by the ultimate deceiver to counterfeit the true Christian faith, and they lead people to Hell. True Christians are to have no fellowship with darkness, as it is written:

The Problem With Ecumenism and Interfaith Coalitions

Ecumenical movements within the Church and those who propagate them should be considered with caution.  One prominent propagator of such movements is the Ethics and Religious Liberties Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention (ERLC).  The ERLC has been known to make questionable dives into the waters of faith-based alliances with organizations that hold to completely different sets of doctrinal … Read more
