Village Church posted a blog article today informing us that Jesus was a refugee, and that fact should “help us form a Christian posture in the [refugee] crisis.” The article, written by JT English, stops short of Russell Moore’s assertion that Jesus was an illegal immigrant. And while asserting a historical truism – that Jesus … Read more
We’ve been reporting for quite some time now that evangelicals, especially Southern Baptists, have been fawning over staunch Roman Catholic (the one who knows and fully agrees with Roman Catholic doctrine), Marco Rubio. Many Southern Baptists have gone as far as to say they believe he is saved (See here, and here). The SBC’s lead … Read more
“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;” Philippians 3:20 While the Evangelical Intelligentsia are falling all over themselves to promote Roman Catholic GOP presidential candidate Marco Rubio and curb the enthusiasm of candidate Donald Trump’s evangelical supporters, another spectrum of evangelical power brokers are getting familiar with Southern … Read more
The Evangelical Intelligentsia (EI) has clearly thrown support behind the non-evangelical candidate in the Republican primary, Marco Rubio. In the collapse of Jeb Bush’s candidacy, the EI has followed suit of the GOP establishment about moved on to back the younger Floridian. The EI is tied so tightly to the GOP establishment, keep in mind, that … Read more
As the evangelical world looks for the cause of racism (hint **it’s sin**) and looks for the solution to racism (hint **it’s the gospel), it’s important to know where not to look. Some have looked toward Ron Burns. You know Ron Burns by his Muslim name, Thabiti Anyabwile. I would encourage against that. The “Gospel” … Read more
In a Gallup poll released this week, Donald Trump is tied with Pope Francis (the antichrist) as the most admirable man in the world in 2015. Both men received 5% of the vote, well behind 1st place, Barack Obama, who had 17%. Trump, touted by Russell Moore and the ERLC as a total disaster, has … Read more
As Pulpit & Pen has told you again and again and again and again, the Evangelical Intelligentsia has put their stock in the RINO Republican and Roman Catholic candidate, Marco Rubio. As we reported several weeks ago… Russell Moore has led the support for Rubio, albeit stopping short of officially endorsing him. Moore, a former democratic … Read more
In what appears to be a never-ending tip-of-the-hat to Romanism, the Ethics and Religious Liberties Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) continues to embrace the practices of the Roman Catholic Church. At the beginning of the year, ERLC head, Russell Moore, stated that he “didn’t want to see any fewer rosary beads” at the … Read more
In a study released on Wednesday by Pew Research, 30 percent of Southern Baptists believe homosexuality should be accepted by society. The typical “liberal” mainline denominations like American Baptists, Episcopalians, ELCA, United Church of Christ, United Methodist Church, and Presbyterian Church (USA) have the highest number of congregants who thought so. Denominations with a smaller … Read more
SBC Voices posted an article from William Thornton, with his picks for the Top 10 SBC News Stories of 2015. Such a list is subjective, obviously, but it was interesting to see a blog colloquially known in the Pulpit Bunker as SBC Echoes – the preeminent SBC peanut gallery – suggest their pics for “top stories” in … Read more
The Ethics and Religious Liberties Commission (ERLC) has been feigning over Roman Catholic Marco Rubio and praising him for his stance on a multitude of issues. They have all but officially endorsed his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. While the ERLC has been vehemently opposed to Donald Trump, it seems as though some of the … Read more
In the wake of Donald Trump’s comments regarding the banning of Islamic immigrants in the United States until the government can “figure out what’s going on,” the Southern Baptist Convention has seized the opportunity to rebuke Trump’s popular stance, and paint those who agree with him, especially Christians, as anti-religious freedom, anti-missionary, and unchristian. In … Read more
I recently wrote an article at Pulpit & Pen that addressed the issue of the evangelical push for celibacy as the best and only option for Christians struggling with same-sex attraction (SSA). Upon publishing the article, I received quite a bit of backlash and hate mail. However, I stand upon the position that the Gospel … Read more
Gay celibacy is not the Gospel-centered answer for those struggling with the sin of Same-Sex Attraction (SSA). And yet for many evangelicals, celibacy for those with SSA seems to be answer-of-the-moment. And that answer is a relatively new answer that is finding prominence in our newly “post-Obergfell world.” Celibacy, in fact, is being ardently defended … Read more
In a recent post on The Gospel Coalition website titled Godliness Is Not Heterosexuality, which is an excerpt from Ed Shaw’s book, The Plausibility of the Celibate Life for the Same-Sex attracted, Shaw admonishes people to think of same-sex attraction as something that can co-exist peacefully with Christianity. In other words, a person who claims to … Read more
