Sadly, I’ve seen several otherwise ‘solid’ individuals claim that attending a gay wedding (like Karen Swallow Prior has said she would attend under the right circumstances) or a gay wedding reception or after-celebration (like Russell Moore has said he would attend) is a matter of Christian liberty or “Christian conscience.” Is it? Is it really? Very … Read more
I know this is a difficult subject for many, and a tough pill to swallow. This is not a subject matter I cover often on this blog, however, since this affects Christians who are against the slaughtering of innocent children, it’s certainly worth a second look. Christians, if you vaccinate your children, you are supporting … Read more
It is the bounden duty of every Christian to pray against Antichrist and as to what Antichrist is no sane man ought to raise a question. If it be not the Popery in the Church of Rome, there is nothing in the world that can be called by that name. . .It wounds Christ, because … Read more

A blog we haven’t heard of from a person we haven’t heard of (Chris Bolt), was tweeted to Pulpit & Pen by ecumenist, Eric Teetsel (who we’ve written about here and here) and provided some “explanations” for some of the quotations and citations made in our first piece about Karen Swallow Prior. Currently with more … Read more
In a recent post, Joel McDurmon concluded “I do not hesitate to call A. W. Pink a theonomist, for his position as explicated above is nothing short of Theonomy.” Apparently the theonomy tent is growing by leaps and bounds. I imagine it will soon include Marcionites. McDurmon offers two reasons: First, A.W. Pink says Matthew 5:17 refers … Read more
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
For those of you who have seen my social media, be it Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook, you probably know that I, like many others, support #the15. I believe that it is wrong for LifeWay to support and sell heresy for a profit. I recently entered in to a LifeWay store, and I took pictures of … Read more
Mark Driscoll has certainly kept himself busy since his resignation from Mars Hill Church. He’s appeared at several conferences, marketed his sermons while his former church drastically declined, and he even started a new website, MarkDriscoll.org, and ironically he calls himself Pastor Mark Driscoll on the site even though he’s not overseeing a flock at a local church … Read more

One piece, professionally done, had six of their “promises” to their new customers prominently displayed: “Exciting Kids’ Programs,” “Incredible Music,” “Inspirational Teaching,” “One Hour Service,” “Casual Atmosphere,” and “We Won’t Beg for Your … Read more

67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 70 As he spake by the mouth … Read more
Last week Dave Miller, of SBC Voices, published an article entitled Peas in a Pod: The Self-Appointed Prophet/Discernment Enforcer Playbook which attempted to summarize the folly of charismaniacs and discerners in one fell swoop. Sadly, the piece was rife with hypocrisy, mischaracterizations, and broad-brush shaming all in the name of “God’s love”. In fact, I hate to have to … Read more
