(Marsha West – Chistian Research Network) Six years ago the Southern Baptist Convention borrowed the Seven Mountain Mandate (7MM) from the New Apostolic Reformation/Dominionism (NAR) to promote the National Day of Prayer. To be clear, the NAR is a theological cult. So those of us involved in online Discernment were gobsmacked when we got wind that the SBC guide contained the same spheres of power as the NAR’s 7MM. Pulpit & Pen (now Protestia) took note and promptly raised a warning flag:
The SBC Executive committee released a guide designed to support members during the upcoming National Day of Prayer. Captioned ‘How to pray the 2020 theme, Pray God’s Glory Across the Earth, into the Seven Centers of Influence in America for the National Day of Prayer, May 7, 2020.‘… (Source)
In summary P&P reported that SBC’s guide was suspiciously like the NAR’s “Seven Mountain Mandate.”
Before I go any further, for those reading this who are asking what exactly is 7MM theology? Back in 2016 I published a piece entitled 7 Mountain Politics and Theology where I wrote: Continue reading
“Progressive Christians love to take the “love chapter” of 1 Corinthians out of context to justify everything from homosexuality to, in this case, satanists getting married at a church. It’s too bad she didn’t share the truth about Christianity with this couple; that would’ve been truth to rejoice in.”
“One of the most serious concerns with Alpha is its intentional ecumenical approach. The course is designed to unite participants across denominational lines, often by minimizing doctrinal distinctions. While biblical unity among true believers is important, that unity must never come at the expense of essential doctrine—especially the Gospel itself.” –Berean Research
51 Jesus said unto them, Understand ye all these things? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every Scribe which is taught unto the kingdom of heaven, is like unto an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things both new and old. Matthew 13:51-52 (1599 Geneva Bible) 
“In conception, the child has the nature, the DNA, of its parents. So too, when one is born of the Holy Spirit, he or she has the nature, the DNA, of God. It cannot be otherwise. And God’s DNA produces the fruit of the Holy Spirit, i.e., the character of God. And that corresponds with the death of self. “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it cannot bear fruit …” That’s DNA talk. That’s “parenthood of God” talk.”
“But it’s not just a phantom First Amendment privilege that Kimmel is asserting. He’s also arguing that it’s the audience’s fault for misunderstanding his hilarious “joke” about Mrs. Trump….Kimmel is wrong: The First Amendment doesn’t entitle Americans “to say whatever” we want. Nor does it protect us from the consequences of our speech.”
“They are teaching these children that the nation is inherently evil, that traditional values are tools of oppression, and that “success” is defined not by virtue, but by the intensity of one’s resistance against the existing order—and that Christian conservatism is perpetuating this “injustice.”
“The “All Are Neighbors” event is set to feature two well-known self-identified gay Christians as guest speakers. It is believed this is the first time an openly gay, self-identified Christian advocacy speaker has appeared on Baylor’s campus.”
“This is called emotional gasoline, and it’s being dumped all over a country already on fire. And when someone unstable decides to light the match, the same people who spent years pouring fuel everywhere suddenly seem shocked and confused.”
“Regarding the upcoming “Red Summer,” communists point with glee to a 2025 CATO Institute poll which “revealed the extent of this radicalization among the youth,” according to one Marxist group. It found that 62% of 18 to 34-year-olds had a favorable view of socialism – and 34% have favorable views of communism.”
“The Department for Health, however, is supposed to answer to evidence. It now faces a choice: abandon a failing model, or continue an unnecessary experiment on children to placate gender fanatics. The Finnish study must mark the end of the road for Pathways, and for the dangerous fiction of gender-affirming care.”
“When a movement drifts away from Scripture as its anchor and starts orbiting a personality, it doesn’t matter how polished the sermons are or how emotionally charged the worship feels, Christ is no longer the head in any meaningful, governing sense. He’s invoked, sure. Referenced. Sung about. But practically? The gravitational force is the leader.”
“Jenn Johnson is acting like we don’t have text messages, witness testimony, images, video, etc. of these incidences.”
“The real story here is how the Democrat Party controls its members through blackmail. It’s got a blackmail file on ALL of its politicians, and it uses them to leverage and control them until it’s time to release it! That is how sick and twisted the Democrat Party is. That’s the next thread we’ve got to pull out here.”
“That has to stop. And there may be a remarkable way to stop it right now.”

“While Bickle has ‘only’ admitted to sexually inappropriate behaviors with two separate adults, two minors have alleged they were victims as well of sexual abuse…”
“…Acknowledging that the world would be safer without Iran’s nuclear program would force his colleagues to admit they’ve been wrong for the past 50 days. So instead, they’d rather keep calling it illegal and dumb — and hope Iran just waits them out. That last part is what should disturb every American.”
“We live in a time in which your generation has grown up in a totally different environment from those of us who are older, who sought to remain knowledgeable of and true to over two thousand years of biblical understanding of the need to maintain the moral purity of the church by its shepherds and leadership.”
