For years my parents have taken an annual Spring or Summer vacation to Amelia Island, just outside of Jacksonville, Florida. It is, in my opinion, one of the nicer beach destinations in Florida. It doesn’t have the six pack and go-kart feel of tourist towns such as Panama City Beach. It’s a different kind of … Read more
“She lies and says she’s in love with him; can’t find a better man.” Eddie Vedder Was Santa at your church before Christmas? Did your church cancel Sunday services on Christmas? Is your church’s music a lower quality presentation of a K-Love radio playlist (or, even worse, a better one)? Does the youth area in … Read more
There’s no doubt about it. The Year of Censorship wasn’t kind to the Rolex of Polemics Blogs. After a decade of failed boycotts and blacklists by America’s leftwing of evangelicalism, Facebook managed to do what they could not; mute Pulpit & Pen. And so, our publishing group, The Gideon Knox Group, has been savvily maneuvering … Read more

As churches across the nation finally start to gather again for Sunday services in obedience to God’s Word (after several months of disobedience), there is no shortage of authorities who are seeking to regulate how it must be done. In Germany, churches that are open have stopped singing altogether – a condition imposed by the government in order to be allowed to have services. Other governments are recommending that … Read more
Benny Hinn, the virulent false teacher whom many were hopeful had smartened up and ceased his theological quackery last year when he was said to have repented of his prosperity gospel (hint, he actually didn’t), is still going at it full bore. This was on display during an interview with leaders Daniel Hagen and Ben … Read more
We’ve written about Carl Lentz many times.

Most recently, the Baptist Press ran … Read more
Hosanna Wong, a female pastor who regularly preaches to men and who gallivants around with her Hillsong and prosperity pals on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, is set to perform her “Spoken Word” at the SBC Pastors Conference, which is full of men.
