After thinking long and hard about our actions over the past few years, we here at the Pulpit & Pen would like to apologize to our readership and the subjects of our many articles and podcasts. In reflecting on all the digital ink we’ve spilled in our zeal to expose unfruitful deeds of darkness and … Read more
Our petition to get Russell Moore to speak on the ethics of a Southern Baptist Church supporting their deacon helping build an abortion clinic has apparently fallen on deaf ears. Ironically, just one week ago Russell Moore wrote about a female pastor in a liberal denomination who agreed that abortion was wrong but still supported … Read more
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. — Romans 12:2 American Christians, particularly those who claim to be “Christian” on the basis of a compromised “it’s all about … Read more
Americans, particularly Christian Americans, and more specifically, Southern Baptists, seem to be woefully confused about a couple of terms. Culture has merged ethics and morality so that we treat them as synonyms. They are not. Ethics, from the Greek word ethos, is the underlying foundation of a culture, a nation, or an organization that … Read more
“Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each man’s work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work. If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will receive … Read more
** Editors Note – This article by Bud Ahlheim was originally posted at john316.rocks, and is being reposted here with permission. It’s a two-pronged approach that’s destroying the Southern Baptist Convention, and the definition of words has nothing to do with it. Rather, it’s the disregard of words … actually, disregard of THE WORD. On … Read more

As we’ve reported ad nauseam, the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) is being utilized as a Political Action Committee (PAC) for Roman Catholic presidential contender, Marco Rubio. ERLC president and former Democratic staffer, Russell Moore, shares a number of ideological similarities with Rubio, not the least of which is their mutual … Read more
I’ve used the Huffington Post as an example of the type of media publication Russell Moore is trying to impress. I have mentioned dozens, and probably hundreds of times on the Pulpit & Pen Program, that one day we’ll see the Huffington Post, the arch-uber-mega-hyper-liberal publication founded by Arianna Huffington (pictured above), promote the socially … Read more
“Every gang-banger will produce ten people who say they were someplace else while all of this happened.” –Carl Winslow, Family Matters, Born to Mild, Season 3, Episode 9 Religion News Service correspondent, Jonathan Merritt, published an article on his Faith and Culture blog this week entitled “Does Russell Moore really represent Southern Baptists.” Merritt published his piece … Read more
The Baptist Message, the newspaper of the Louisiana Baptist Convention, has published an editorial from Will Hall that echoes much of the concern we’ve been bringing to you for about two years now. Unless things have changed at the Baptist Message from when Kelly Boggs used to run the newspaper, nothing is printed without the … Read more
On The Briefing today, Al Mohler gave his tacit defense for the Intelligentsia’s promotion of Marco Rubio. After piling on Donald Trump in the rather obvious claim Trump isn’t a Christian, Mohler then explains it’s better to support a candidate who by his Confession anathematizes those who believe in justification by faith alone doesn’t believe exactly like … Read more
In a post entitled, National Review Enlists Open Border Zealots to Trash Trump, Julia Hann correctly classified Russell Moore’s immigration views for the publication named after the late Andrew Breitbart. National Review’s effort to take down GOP frontrunner Donald Trump has been billed as a symposium of “conservatives against Trump.” However, that billing may be undermined by the discovery … Read more
National Review, the semi-monthly magazine and think tank founded by William F. Buckley in 1955, went full bore against Donald Trump several days ago with a special issue opposing his run for the presidency. The move made headlines, as the establishment off-beltway organization brought in a list of “real conservatives” to challenge Trump, which included … Read more
Say it were 1937 in Germany and you had the opportunity to vote in an election that pitted a guy who wants to shove all the Jews in Europe into ovens against a guy who runs on a platform that, if the SS wants to shove Jews into ovens, they’ll at least have to do … Read more
