One of the first articles I ever published at this site was entitled “Ecumenism, Book Sales, Beth Moore, and the Bishop of Saddleback”. In that article, I implied that Rick Warren was more concerned with expanding his influence than staying true to biblical doctrine. Here we are nine years later. Rick Warren, his church having … Read more

During my (almost) two decades in the workforce, I have been given a number of personality assessments and EQ tests by employers and potential employers. The results have been fairly consistent. If I had amalgamate those consistent results into one final designation, I’d label myself an “ISAAWWBWCAPWVTS”. That’s shorthand for insufferable autistic accountant who works … Read more

In case you need another reason the leave the nation’s largest awful denomination, add to it the fact that its leadership thinks you have an IQ of Jory Micah. Over the last decade, P&P has chronicled roughly 4,396,301 reasons why you should leave the Southern Baptist Convention (I’m rounding up). Literally, a new reason is … Read more
I don’t like to get political on this blog. I think doing so can distract from the mission. I want people to focus on Jesus and his church. This is a polemics blog and I don’t use it to polemicize political candidates on either side. Frankly, I think many Christians are more focused on the … Read more
Will the endless virtue-signaling wokism of the Democratic Wing of the Southern Baptist Convention ever come to an end? It probably won’t so long as Southern Baptists continue to fund their anti-Trump PAC with their financial offerings. But boy, is it obnoxious. For more articles on the ERLC’s all-in commitment to political progressivism, click here. … Read more
This story is hilarious, at least if you despise the Southern Baptist Convention (which I do). It’s hilarious in a poetic justice sort of way. It’s hilarious in a pinky-to-the-mouth bwahahaha sort of way. A predominately black Southern Baptist Church just voted to leave the SBC because it’s not woke enough. Let me explain the … Read more
If you’re a Southern Baptist, you know the 11th Commandment. It has been chiseled into the stone heart of SBC leaders for nearly three decades, but not by the finger of God.

But wokeness is strong in leftwing Christianity, especially in the Neo-Reformed branch associated with groups funded by dark-money donations from … Read more
Any Christian believer and any Constitutional conservative should be immensely thankful for the abolition of slavery and the freeing of the American slaves. Christ has torn down the dividing wall of hostility (Ephesians 2:14) and enslaved slavery (Ephesians 4:8). Our nation’s laws should reflect God’s laws, and any type of coerced labor or conscription of … Read more
Justice! Justice! Justice! Such is the shout of a lost world full of chest-thumping God-haters, Babel-builders, and ark-knockers who should be pleading for grace rather than justice (and if the Biblical allusions evade you, bless your heart). Sadly, even evangelical virtue-twerkers are out shouting the slogans of Woke Religionists, taking part in their version of … Read more
