Nothing he said therein would … Read more
Southern Baptist churches are autonomous, and we can’t speak into the affairs of a local church.

I’m so tired. I’m tired of discernment. I’m tired of polemics. I’m tired of watching the other guys who produce material for Pulpit & Pen report on yet another obvious departure from orthodoxy.
