This week, the world reeled at a shocking report issued by a grand jury in Pennsylvania. The report concerned predatory Catholic clergy in that state, and the abuses they committed against children. In reply, Catholics brought to bear a defense that we’ve seen before. Today, I’ll show you what that defense is, and how it backfires completely.
As you might suspect, the report reveals that the SBC’s decline hasn’t slowed at all. Today, let’s look at some very telling signs of the denomination’s worsening problems.
One of the report’s sermons in particular seems like a very fitting summary of the denomination’s fears–and hopes. Today, we look at a sermon with a tell-tale heart.
We’re going to be talking about quite a few elements of that report in the days to come. But first, though, let’s wander afield a bit with one of the leaders of this disgraced denomination. Come check out this bizarre segue from the report! Today, Lord Snow Presides over the fundagelical hate-fear relationship with snakes.
Here are the overarching trends in the SBC right now, how they’re responding to criticism and scandal, and what they desperately hope to accomplish in the coming year–and most importantly, why that stuff matters to us.
If there’s one thing ex-Christians in the Unequally Yoked Club know, it’s that our Christian spouses get the worst ever advice about how to handle our deconversions. Of course, the advice they get before then is bad too. Today, I’ll show you the three worst pieces of advice my Christian then-husband received–and how it backfired dramatically on him.
No, Alex Jones didn’t suffer a violation of his American rights. His right to free speech, in particular, remains undisturbed. Today, I’ll show you why–and why his followers cannot face that reality.
Lord Snow Presides over a very telling–and disastrous–list of suggestions from a TRUE CHRISTIAN™ culture warrior about a topic he absolutely does not understand.
The other day I was telling y’all that Christians increasingly pretend to be listening to their leaders, but then go do whatever they wanted to do anyway. Marriage and divorce definitely constitute two of the topics driving Christians to act like that. Today, here’s the war Christian leaders are fighting–and a very real sign that they are losing that battle.
Today, I’ll show you what this trendy phrase means, and why Christian leaders have latched onto it as hard as they have. Because I’m really helpful that way, I’ll also show you why it’s doomed to fail–just like everything else those leaders do to try to reverse their decade-long decline in membership and credibility.
