Southern Baptists are speaking out against Russell Moore. Weird. I remember when that totally wasn’t in vogue, and we were the only ones doing it and people were calling us crazy. Consider this piece, which calls our assertion that Moore is a social progressive “one of the dumber things you will have read in 2014” (Moore … Read more

Sadly, the greatest defenders of Russell Moore today tend to be those who hold the mantle, “Reformed.” For many, a mere association with Albert Mohler is enough to buy all sorts of accusational immunity. For others, who haven’t noticed The Gospel Coalition turning into The Social Gospel Coalition over the last couple years, Russell’s association … Read more

The SBC’s continued pursuit of its prevalent flavor of theology – American Christianity –   driven as it is by a seeker-sensitive model of church growth, finds its ERLC conference with one day under its belt.   The two-day conference, August 25 & 26, was coincidentally (probably not) given the theme, Onward, also the title … Read more

  What some viewed as forced political homage at the altar of a foreign god (Russell Moore would probably fall here – but more on that to follow), others saw as an unparalleled opportunity, not only to brush up with the fame and bravado that is Donald Trump, but also a chance to publicly, wholeheartedly, … Read more

Russell Moore, President of the SBC’s Ethics And Religious Liberty Commission, faced a direct question from a messenger at the denomination’s annual meeting regarding his intentional support of Muslims in a lawsuit petitioning for the overturning of a New Jersey township’s ruling denying them a building permit for construction of a mosque.  The First Amendment … Read more

The Islamic Society of Basking Ridge, New Jersey, has faced considerable red tape from the city’s zoning board since 2011. Having to haggle over typical zoning issues like parking lot size and possible interference with a fire department across the street, the Islamic Society’s Mosque-building efforts have faced the typical bureaucratic complications not altogether uncommon … Read more

  Early this Sunday morning, June 12, at least 50 people in a gay night club in Orlando, Florida were murdered. Over 50 more were injured in what is already being referred to as the most lethal massacre in American history. As with the loss of any life, in any place, we mourn for those … Read more

If the Christian orthodox view that there is one true God is still held by Southern Baptists, the behavior exhibited by Russell Moore, President of the SBC’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission seems to seriously undermine its claim.
