Al Mohler’s theology is stellar. Al Mohler’s character is beyond reproach. And yet, I said in Monday’s episode of the Pulpit & Pen Program that if Al Mohler launches first thing Monday morning with a rebuke to Danny Cortez of the New Heart Community Church that I’ll have to put him in the Daily Downgrade … Read more
You might remember an email leaking a few weeks ago from Johnny Hunt to a concerned church member at FBC Woodstock in which he says… “I am aware of the videos and all charges you have mentioned. If I were to sin as Ergun has and been employed by FBC Woodstock I would repent publicly … Read more
It’s interesting that David Hankins – the very same David Hankins who instituted a moratorium on Louisiana College hiring graduates from Southern Seminary (consult page one, paragraph 3) because of their advocacy for traditional Southern Baptist Calvinism, is now serving as a trustee at Southern Seminary and is being nominated again for a second term. … Read more
Eric Hankins, son of Louisiana Baptist Convention Executive Director David Hankins and author of “A Statement of the Traditional Southern Baptist Understanding of God’s Plan of Salvation (Trads),” has recently been defending his semi-pelagian confession over at SBC Voices. This post is not about the doctrine of the Trads document but about Eric Hankins’ continued … Read more
In the Modern Day Downgrade: A Call for Repentance to Southern Baptists and Other Evangelicals that I delivered at the 2013 Reformation Montana conference, I mentioned what I’ve since come to call ‘Joe Aguillard’s Final Solution.’ In that message in May of last year, I asserted that Joe Aguillard presented a “false flag” of a … Read more
As you can see, Pulpit & Pen contributor, Gene Clyatt, is in Phoenix with this nefarious character. Why? Well…let’s just say that it has something to do with the upcoming The Caner Project documentary. Information from a whole swath of sources, including audio and video or Ergun Caner’s [heretofore unrepentant] lies concerning his life story … Read more
This is an article released and written by Kelly Boggs of the Baptist Message. I am aware that for a long, long time, Louisiana Baptists have been begging Kelly Boggs to run an article highlighting these very issue. Boggs issued this article only after the secular press, in particular the Town Talk, ran (much less … Read more
The other day in the upper-right corner of my Facebook feed I noticed a brief activity notification by a friend whom I’ve known to be a solid believer in Jesus, a faithful husband and father, an abolitionist, and a street evangelist. Commenting on a page about one of his hobbies (say, mountain biking), he used … Read more
Joe Aguillard and the trustees at Louisiana College have more to look forward to. More documents will be released Monday. And these documents will, praise God, vindicate many who have been castigated by Joe Aguillard during this long, scandalous ordeal. I am officially asking Kelly Boggs of the Baptist Message to cover this information. In … Read more
Monday – Program Summary: In today’s “doublesode”, JD discusses a number of important issues; Why on earth did Al Mohler pledge to nominate Ronnie Floyd as the next president of the SBC? Is it “selling out” or a brilliant and calculated move to keep the radical Hankins fringe out of office? Next, JD discusses the … Read more
I’m releasing Monday’s episode of the Pulpit & Pen Program early because Southern Baptists in Louisiana need to hear it before they go to church tomorrow. If you know someone in Louisiana in particular, please share it with them. Louisiana College will be appealing local churches for money, and Louisiana Baptists need to know this … Read more
Earlier, I posted an article dealing with the propensity of Southern Baptist leaders to stay quiet on controversy and why some feel the need to rebuke those that rebuke, but not those that sin [click here for link]. Keep in mind that to my knowledge (send me a link if I’m wrong), not a single … Read more
“Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees.” – Apostle Paul, Acts 23:6 I was raised in a Southern Baptist home. My grandfather was a Southern Baptist deacon and my father a Southern Baptist Sunday School teacher. I was baptized in a Southern Baptist Church (although not regenerate, had said the Sinner’s Prayer) and … Read more

2 Tim. 2:3 – “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” One writer called General Lee, “The portrait of a soldier.” Prime Minister Winston Churchill wrote of Lee, “His noble presence and gentle, kindly manner were sustained by religious faith and an exalted character.” His minister told him, “If you are as good a … Read more
