“In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth” Genesis 1:1 Gary Bates, a member of Eastside Baptist Church in Marietta, GA, “believes that Creation Ministries International could be the best kept secret in Christendom”. If this is true, Bates should know; it’s his ministry organization. Bates is the CEO of Creation Ministries USA … Read more
The International Association of Healing Ministries cancelled their massive conference that was to take place in Porta, Portugal this year, and instead will be having an online conference instead due to being constrained by the coronavirus.

After being featured and winning the “2020 Christian Apologist March Madness Tournament-” A fun little Twitter poll that pitted well-known Christian apologists against each other- and beating the inimitable James White for the crown, Ravi followed up his win by choosing to cavort with a cadre of sketchy spiritual characters on a worshipful live-stream happening … Read more
This ministry specializes in a field of theological study that is called polemics. 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
Trying to understand what is going through the head of Albert Mohler, the consummate politican-theologian, is never easy. He just condemned, for lack of a better word, Identity Politics and Intersectionality. These are two major tenets of Cultural Marxism, an ideology that is pouring out of Southern Seminary like water and is promoted by the … Read more
No one who spoke at the G3 Conference alongside the Rauschenbuschists wanted to interact with my post on why Spurgeon would not attend G3. They did not interact with the article because they could not. It was indisputable. While these men claim the heritage of Spurgeon, they ignore his absolute detestation of partnering with compromise … Read more
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ (Colossian 2:8) The exhortation from Paul is clear; do not let anyone enslave and carry you away by philosophy, empty but deceitful words, or … Read more
What’s wrong with Servus Christi? Well, the obvious warning signs are all there. Like Satan, he twists the Scriptures and applies a (Biblical) call to godly separation to an infinite degree, essentially anathematizing the entire Body of Christ and severing it limb from limb (which is not the Scripture’s teaching). Like Satan, Servus Christi’s goal is … Read more
Christianity isn’t collapsing! The gospel hasn’t changed an iota! Jesus Christ is the same today as he always has been and always will be. The gospel is still saving men just as effectively and efficiently as it always has. That’s what the gospel does. Men of God are still standing in their pulpits and thundering … Read more
Is Paul Washer partnering with Hillsong? No. BACKGROUND Listen, I’ve been doing discernment work for years. Pulpit & Pen has been doing its thing for eight years. We have become the infamous “Rolex of Polemics Blogs.” Heck, we brought back the term, polemics, into vogue; before we pulled the term out of the dustbin of … Read more
Polemics ministries already face the oft-painted and unfortunate caricature of being “hyper-separationists” and “fundamentalists” who can’t play nice or get along with others. In spite of reiterating that we can find good things in the ministries of men, we may often criticize for one reason or another, still some accuse us of anathematizing people “just … Read more

Revive Us 2016, the Symptom of the Larger Problem of Americanism & Nationalism Christmas in the Hands of … Read more
It’s no secret that Kirk Cameron has embraced the false gospel of American Patriotism. Clearly, he’s accepted post-millennial Reconstructionist ideals of Dominionism and has been championing the cause of taking back the culture in America for several years. It’s unclear exactly how he was led down this path of patriotic idolatry, as his past associations with … Read more
In January 2013 I was informed of a conference that simply everyone who’s anyone was going to. I was even invited to bring our youth along with a local church to the conference.
