Is the doctrine of the Trinity something worth standing resolute on anymore in the Southern Baptist Convention? The question, seemingly obvious among the people who turned back the liberal tide and fought for the inerrancy of Scripture 35 years ago, must be asked in the early days of 2014 when one looks at the schedule … Read more
I’ve hesitated to write this article because I can feel the guffaws coming. But those guffaws are now quieted by masks which do far better at muzzling chortles than germs, so I now care less than I used to. This is the thesis: mask directives are an eschatological dry-run for the Mark of the Beast, … Read more
There’s been no shortage of parachurch ministries that have gone ‘woke’ in the last several years. Most notably, organizations for young adults like Cru (formerly Campus Crusades for Christ) and InterVarsity have traded the real Gospel for the Popularity Gospel. But agonizingly, the leftists have even set their eyes on children. Awana is the latest … Read more
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The coronavirus outbreak has had ripple effects across the country, including in U.S. churches, according to a new study of pastors. Nashville-based LifeWay Research asked Protestant pastors how the pandemic has impacted their congregations and what their plans are for the near future.

Evangelicals are out signaling their virtue like kids at camp run dirty underwear up the flagpole. From Beth Moore to Russell Moore, they want us to know how wicked “alt-right” ideology is, but are utterly silent on the alt-left hatred of the mass murderer in Ohio. Beth Moore preached at an audience of white supremacists, … Read more
Connect316 is a group of Southern Baptist pastors and leaders that essentially exists to oppose Calvinism in the denomination, holding to what they have termed “Traditionalism.” A historic misnomer, the doctrinal position held by Connect316 is a rather new and novel mediated position between Calvinism and Arminianism, subordinating God’s sovereignty to man’s Free Will while … Read more
January 2012, he was crowned king by Rabbi Ralph Messer, lifted up on a throne, and paraded around the stage in front of his congregation at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. Bishop Eddie Long was a steadfast proponent of Word of Faith theology, including the Prosperity Gospel–a perverted distortion of the gospel message that teaches Christ died so believers … Read more
The New Apostolic Reformation is an extraordinary work of the Holy Spirit that is changing the shape of Christianity globally. It is truly a new day! The Church is changing. New names! New methods! New worship expressions! The Lord is establishing the foundations of the Church for the new millennium. This foundation is built upon … Read more
This is an article I never thought I would have to write. And yet, my love for Spurgeon compels me to save our bearded hero from being kidnapped by a Shakespeare-quoting self-pronounced feminist and her legion of gay fans, shoving him gagged and bound into an animal rights pigeon hole. In an article originally entitled, … 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
So, I’m going to the Southern Baptist Convention. And, I plan on voting on a few things. And, I plan on being drowned out in a sea of apathy as foregone conclusions masquerade as motions – you know, the typical things you might see at a Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting. The last time I was … Read more
By now, it’s no doubt that Rick Warren has not let the criticism from fellow believers, advice from his colleagues, or even the Word of God stand in his way of promoting questionable practices, ideas and beliefs in his ministry at Saddleback Church. In the past, he has promoted (and currently still does promote) unbelievers … Read more
