Within hours of the MLK50 event going live, Southern Baptist church planters across the country had begun to complain online. For some, it was that Martin Luther King was hardly worth venerating, with his promiscuous and extra-marital sexual behavior (both heterosexual and homosexual) and his denials of Christian orthodoxy (including his explicit denials of scriptural … 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
As the Southern Baptist Convention is hemorrhaging members in dramatic decline and suffering from giant missions shortfalls, more than four million dollars is dedicated annually to the socially-progressive entity, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), run by former Democratic staffer, Russell Moore. For that four million dollars, the SBC has received in return a … Read more
It is, according to whomever designates such things, Black History Month. Not to be left out of the race-based observations and events taking place at secular schools, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) held its fifth annual “African American Read-In.” The event was entitled “Martin and Malcom” and was advertised as featuring “the reading of excerpts from and discussion of … Read more

Surely there are few who take the name “Reformed” who do not know the name of John Calvin. This post isn’t about him. It’s about the one who was used by God to help turn John Calvin into the John Calvin we know and love. Guillaume (William) Farel was born in the city of Gap in … Read more
Here’s what you’re going to see in this video: An open-air evangelist on a bullhorn is standing on a curb, emploring people supposedly waiting in line for the Las Vegas Jason Aldean concert mere minutes before the attack. As he preaches repentance and faith, person after person walks up to mock him. The crowd repeatedly … Read more
Note: This has been re-posted in honor of Rod Dreher and the Feast of St. Benedict. In an atrocious display of terror and depravity, Coptic churches were bombed in Egypt. An explosion in Tanta killed 27 attenders at St. George’s Coptic Church, and a second explosion killed 17 in Alexandria at St. Mark’s Coptic Church. … Read more
Today, Jack Graham will speak at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and a group of students plan a Baptist-style soft protest to demonstrate how entitled they think they are to his church’s money.
