(Jeff Maples – Reformation Charlotte) If you’ve followed Pulpit & Pen, you know we’ve covered the contemporary Christian music movement and have written about several of its mainstream figures, including Kari Jobe and Hillsong.

“LifeWay didn’t care about Southern Baptist women whose spiritual lives they crippled by the thousands through Beth Moore’s false teaching and ungodly example. They didn’t care about the Southern Baptist churches they sowed division into by peddling Beth’s poison to them. They didn’t care about the discerning Southern Baptist women who have been forced out of their churches and spiritually abused by Southern Baptist pastors, pastors’ wives, and women’s ministry leaders deceived by Beth.”
The curriculum singles out Christianity for particular demonization. Cuauhtin claimed that white Christians committed “theocide” by killing indigenous gods while replacing tribal cults with Christianity.

“But the “party of science” wisely seized the opportunity. The strong overpowered the weak in the biggest political power grab in modern U.S. history; the young sacrificed for the old. Our most vulnerable citizens, children and the elderly, were betrayed, in some cases killed, by the very same political interests purportedly devoted to protecting them.”
(Protestia) A worship session during a charismatic children’s conference had kids as young as four years old being encouraged to speak in tongues, prophecy, and get slain in the spirit, with rejoicing testimony that these young ones were “falling out under the power and crying and trembling.”

“There are scores of pseudo-scholars out there who openly posit disjointed erroneous interpretations of the Bible based on their own personal theology and sinful lifestyle and not simple exegesis. Brandon Robertson’s pretexting passages to fit his personal views are always embraced by the unstudied and extremely gullible.”
(Carlos Garcia – Blaze Media) MyPillow founder and CEO Mike Lindell said that he’s been developing a social media application that would restore free speech to those who were banned by the mainstream tech platforms.
(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) It has become clear to discerning Christians that the Spiritual Forces of Darkness engineered America’s shift to the far left. And anyone who chooses not to toe the line, anyone who won’t buy into the “woke” narrative or dares voice their disagreement with the totalitarian Left finds themselves “cancelled” (smeared, maligned, demeaned). This is especially true for followers of Jesus Christ.
Let there be no doubt that Timothy Keller has leftist political and social justice leanings. The Gospel Coalition, which he co-founded with D.A. Carson, has become a theologically liberal organization and is drowning in wokeness. According to

(Charlie Spiering – Breitbart) President Joe Biden’s administration continues struggling to respond to the border crisis, as the White House remains unprepared to answer the most basic questions about what is going on and how they plan to handle it.
