SBC Voices, a blog for Southern Baptist pastors, is going all-in for the defense of women in the pulpit. In doing so, they are either leaving behind their biblically literate congregants or – worse yet – leading them astray. I’m convinced that there is no corner of the religious blogosphere that is as hopelessly ignorant, … Read more
The other day, the P&P contributors were chatting in our “convo bunker” about who was the most sychophantic follower of Southern Baptist celebrity leaders. There were a few names mentioned, but Brent Hobbs came to the very top. I know the Southern Baptist blogosphere frontwards, backwards and sideways. Hobbs is, far and beyond, the greatest sycophant … Read more
In the wake of a mass shooting that happened on a black college campus in Atlanta Tuesday — which got very little national coverage — the usual woke evangelical race-baiters are silent. The shooting, where at least four people were shot, happened at 10:30 pm on Tuesday evening. Here is how CNN described the suspect. … Read more
A progressive SBC blog for pastors is blaming the alt-left shootings over the weekend on the alt-right, proving that sometimes Useful Idiots are really, really idiotic. The Ohio shooter was an Elizabeth Warren supporter, a registered Democrat, and supported gun control.

It was then that uber-smug Lifeway executive Ed Stetzer claimed that the outrage was from “the same 15 angry Calvinists who are mad at everyone.” The Background What came … Read more

Imagine the scandal. A former Democratic staffer who has been called “an open border zealot” by the press, who moonlights for a George Soros-funded pro-illegal immigration think tank, and who has repeatedly attacked border security as inherently unchristian, signs a brief on behalf of the Southern Baptist Convention to help get a Mosque built in New … Read more
Of all the tweets I’ve seen from the #sbc15 hashtag lamenting the “Mickey Mouse court” mentality and foregone conclusions of the convention experience, most of those comments from rank-and-file Southern Baptists ring true. This one seems to summarize them the best. I couldn’t make the Convention, after sitting for five hours on the Tarmac in Fargo and … Read more
“He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much.” Luke 16:10 What has happened to the Southern Baptist Convention? What is perhaps the United States’ last biblically faithful and conservative denomination is sliding precipitously towards … Read more
