Russell Moore partnering with New Apostolic Reformation to advance the "Social Gospel."

The concept of “social justice” is not new, it’s been around for ages. It’s the antithesis to personal responsibility. The New Oxford American Dictionary defines “social justice” as “The objective of creating a fair and equal society in which each individual matters, their rights are recognized and protected, and decisions are made in ways that are fair and honest.” On the surface this sounds like a noble cause, but in reality, it doesn’t work that way. In practice, social justice removes the notion of personal responsibility, and places the burden of individuals on the backs of society. A society devoid of personal responsibility will naturally result in laziness, crime, and a complete lack of motivation for advancement, and eventually total collapse of the society. The social justice system comes in the form of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, disguised as something good, yet it is opposed to the will of God, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Problem With Ecumenism and Interfaith Coalitions

Ecumenical movements within the Church and those who propagate them should be considered with caution.  One prominent propagator of such movements is the Ethics and Religious Liberties Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention (ERLC).  The ERLC has been known to make questionable dives into the waters of faith-based alliances with organizations that hold to completely different sets of doctrinal … Read more

The Problem With the ERLC and Interfaith Coalitions

Ecumenical movements within the Church and those who propagate them should be considered with caution. One prominent propagator of such movements is the Ethics and Religious Liberties Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention (ERLC). The ERLC has been known to make questionable dives into the waters of faith-based alliances with organizations that hold to completely different sets of doctrinal beliefs than do Bible-believing Southern Baptists. It has rightly been criticized by concerned Christians for doing so. Unfortunately, critics of the ERLC and similar organizations are often accused of slandering people of faith, causing division, rejecting diversity, or even spreading hate. Questions, not unlike the trap questions asked of Jesus by Jewish leaders during the first century, are thrown at the critics of ecumenism in attempts to discredit their concerned stances. Many times, these questions are nothing more than straw-men tactics that shown no real concern the specific issue at hand. When responding to such questions, critics of unhealthy ecumenism should strive to respond with sound logic and thoughtful biblical exegesis. Consider the following admonishments from the Apostle Paul in light of notable activities of the ERLC.

1 Corinthians, The Coalition, Worldly Wisdom, and Fire

In addition to Jordan’s excellent treatment of The Gospel Coalition’s bizarre and probably sinful decision to invite lost people to comment on justice and mercy, I’d like to pile on with some thoughts of my own. Though I am tempted to include a rant about the futility of conference upon conference upon conference upon conference … Read more

Christians Who Use the Enneagram

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

David French, World Cup Soccer, and Thanksgiving

Long-time readers of this website may be surprised to learn that I have never read a single article written by David French. Even now, on this leisurely holdiday morning, I could be immersing myself in the current online war of words caused by the evangelical pundit’s support of the so-called Respect for Marriage Act. Instead, … Read more

The Plagues of 2020 Are Screaming At Us. But Are We Listening?

Pestilence. War. Famine. Murder hornets. Yes, murder hornets. Murder…freaking…hornets. The year 2020 will be renowned for lots of things that plagued the world. It will, without a doubt, be a year that lives in infamy. Our grandchildren will absolutely, 100% ask us what it was like to be alive during this season of history …if … Read more

TGC’s Thabiti Anyabwile Wants the ‘barking-when-a-white-man-speaks-out-of-turn’ thing to Happen

The Gospel Coalition’s Thabiti Anyabwile revealed more of his true feelings and depravity of his heart when engaged in some highly racial, low-brow humor that would have him howling if a white person ever said it. To familiarize yourself with Anyabwile, the pastor has used his social media platforms to lobby for the restriction of Americans’ Second … Read more

Kyle Rittenhouse and Biblical Self Defense

We should all be so blessed as to have a son like Kyle Rittenhouse. If only we were all so worthy of young men like him, our land would be richly blessed. That there is pervasive moral unclarity regarding his actions and by some evangelicals, even a maligning of his character, speaks of the failure … Read more

PSA. Our Editorial Use of the Label ‘Homosexual/ Lesbian’

Given some of the commentary we received from our recent post on Jackie Hill Perry, we here at Pulpit & Pen wanted to clear up any confusion or misapprehension about or use of the label ‘homosexual’ or ‘lesbian’ to describe different professing Christians, so that everyone has absolute clarity. This has been our longstanding practice … Read more

TGC’s Favorite SSA Priest Sam Allberry Compares Incarnation of Christ to Wearing a Facemask

Sam Allberry, the same-sex attracted Anglican priest who’s been heavily promoted by The Gospel Coalition and other Social Justice Warriors, officially became a contender for the worst tweet of the year when he compared the unfathomable act of Jesus veiling his glory in the incarnation in servitude to humankind, to us wearing facemasks when around … Read more

SBC Intelligentsia Celebrate the Life of Notorious Baby-Killing Champion John Lewis

John Lewis was an evil man and worse than a racist, but that hasn’t stopped SBC leaders from singing his praises and paying him undue honor. Albert Mohler, Russel Moore, the Gang at the ERLC, and a ton of other people and places have spoken of Lewis in glowing, flowery language, without one mention that … Read more

1926-2020: J.I. Packer No Longer ‘Together’ With Catholics

J.I. Packer, an influential theologian, died at the age of 93 earlier today. The British theologian influenced many, but Packer received upon his record the dark, ugly blot of having signed the apostate document, Evangelicals and Catholics Together (EIT), in 1994. Thankfully as of today, Packer is no longer together with Catholics. Born in 1926 … Read more

Effeminate Men Can’t Go to Heaven

In a world in which even evangelicals have softened their stance homosexuality, of which God could not be clearer in the Scripture he detests, denouncing the sin of effeminacy is long abandoned. Largely thanks to the influence of the ‘Gospel Coalition‘ which maintains a whole harem of lesbians on their writing and speaking platforms (Gilson, … Read more

r/Reformed Bans Reformation Charlotte for Not Being Woke Enough

The time has come for us to acknowledge that the Doctrines of Grace have been co-opted by Woke Religionists who, are as Spurgeon would say, are no more Reformed “than chalk is cheese.” Satan’s false teachers “creep in” (Jude 4) and “spy out” the church (Galatians 2:4) seek to lead it captive with “vain philosophy … Read more
