Last week here at Pulpit & Pen I published a post entitled “Elevation Worship: Manslaughter or Murder” questioning the motivations of music ministers who include Elevation music (and music from other unbiblical organizations) in the worship services at their churches. I concluded that those ministers were in error regardless of their intent and level of … Read more

At Pulpit & Pen, we’re trying to document all the dumb (and often dangerous) things charismatics say during this coronavirus crisis. Instead of going out and healing people (so far they’re at zero healings), they just sit around and give really bad medical advice. For the record, Bethel’s affiliated pastor, Shawn Bolz, declared a prophecy that … Read more
When folks need discernment they know not to trust the Southern Baptist Convention’s public-relations arm, the Baptist Press.

Most recently, the Baptist Press ran … Read more

In what will be seen as a watershed moment in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) – the day that the liberals reclaimed that which they lost in the Conservative Resurgence – the crowd applauded wildly as Beth Moore attacked complementarianism in her sermon at a propagandic virtue-signaling conference hosted by the Ethics and Religious Liberty … Read more

This doctrinal discipline is as old as the church itself, and its contributions are seen in historic creeds that discern the differences between authentic and inauthentic Christian doctrine. Polemics has been used by God to clearly articulate important doctrines like the Holy … Read more

Over two years ago, I wrote a piece here at Pulpit & Pen entitled “Resetting the Evangelical Mindset on Nabeel Qureshi.” Qureshi was, at the time, a darling of the Christian apologetics community and an up-and-coming speaker with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries. I expressed concern that the popular and well-respected apologist was participating in an event, Together 2016, with … Read more
