Beth Moore, who is best known as Lifeway’s Cash Cow of Bashan, the extremely popular women’s teacher whose increasingly wild-eyed prophetic visions have gained prominence in a wide berth of evangelicalism well outside the SBC (especially in charismatic circles, as she coalesces with other egalitarian prophetesses like Anne Voskamp, Joyce Meyer, and Christine Caine), may … Read more
To be very clear, the creation of a database of minority-status identity groups is the move of certain Social Justice Warriors within the SBC who have been enamored with the recent promotion of Rauschenbuschism by Southern Baptist entities, but the database creation is not an official move of any SBC entity in particular. Rather, the … Read more
The Southern Baptist Convention should not want black leadership. The very idea is doctrinally bothersome, theologically incoherent, ethnically untenable, and morally perverse. After the MLK50 veneration conference, hosted by The Social Gospel Coalition and the SBC’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), Southern Baptists are calling for the white-guilted apologies offered to the world on … Read more
Danny Cortez was a Southern Baptist pastor who, upon his son becoming a homosexual, changed his own views on sodomy. In response, Cortez’ repudiation of the Bible’s clear teaching on homosexuality, the Southern Baptist congregation voted to neither approve nor condemn sodomy and instead chose to embrace a “Third Way,” an attempted compromise similar to … Read more
The Modern Day Downgrade is rapidly growing in the SBC, and getting worse from year to year. Here are nine of the worst moments in the SBC last year. SBC blog touts lawsuits against SBC entities.

Harwood made a name for himself promoting ideas best described as semi-Pelagianism and propagating pretty bold denials … Read more
Technically, the Southern Baptist Convention doesn’t believe in female pastors. In reality, there are hundreds of female Southern Baptist pastor-preachers yet to be disfellowshipped from the denomination, thousands of women with the title “pastor” (usually with the word “children,” “youth” or “women’s” in front of the title), and it is becoming altogether commonplace to see … Read more
The Holman Christian Standard Bible The creation of the Holman Christian Standard Bible was funded by the Southern Baptist Convention entity, Lifeway Christian Resources. After the death of the HCSB’s braintrust (and former editor of the New King James Version), Arthur Farstad, the project continued under different leadership and a slightly changed direction (and translation source). … Read more
Imagine, if you will, a homeowner in his bedroom who hears someone breaking into his house. He cracks open his bedroom door and unleashes his ferocious bulldog upon the intruder. He cowers, shuts his door, and listens to the ensuing carnage. The intruder gets mauled and the bulldog bears the brunt of his defensive kicks; … Read more
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, … Read more
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask … Read more
With the upcoming Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting mere days away – June 14-15 – and since more, shall we say, “conventional” leaning websites have generated their own “Ask The Nominee” queries, I thought perhaps a similar list would be useful from a more discerning source, such as Pulpit & Pen. Here are a few … Read more
If helping to build an abortuary doesn’t qualify as a disciplinary offense in the Southern Baptist Convention, suffice it to say that nothing does. Pulpit & Pen brought you the news story of a new child sacrifice center being renovated in Oklahoma, and the various construction outfits providing the services necessary for it to become … Read more
It’s not a click-bait headline. It’s not veiled metaphorical rhetoric. It’s a bonafide story … and it’s not funny. It is, rather, further evidence of a denomination in the throes of a downgrade because of its disregard for Scripture. A Southern Baptist church is lauding a girl preaching from the pulpit. At the outset, please … Read more
