Rod on the Deeper Things That Shape Us
It Is Not Just the Southern Baptist Convention That’s At Stake. Here’s What You Can Do.
by Rod D. MartinApril 9, 2022 For many, the Southern Baptist Convention seems like a lost cause. And that’s understandable: every day we hear of some new compromise, some new chapter in an ongoing downgrade. Who wants to be part of such a thing? The problem is, we’re...
I Just Read the Entire Bible in 54 Days. You Should Too.
by Rod D. MartinMarch 6, 2022 I just read the entire Bible in 54 days. Some thoughts: First, it was easy. Yes, easy. Anyone can read the entire Bible in a year in just 15 minutes a day (yes, you read that right). Ergo, anyone can read the entire Bible in 90 days in...
Yes, “Cultural Christianity” Was a Good Thing
by Rod D. MartinDecember 18, 2021 I’m listening to all these wonderful Christmas songs from the 1940s and 50s, probably mostly sung by unbelievers, thinking: How very short-sighted and ungrateful all those pastors and pundits were a few years ago railing against...
Wokeness, Like All Marxism, Is About Power
by Rod D. MartinDecember 2, 2021 Here, Southern Baptist scion Grant Gaines tells us that you're only allowed to support the overturning of Roe v. Wade if you do it for non-Christian reasons. He says that if you oppose abortion because of anything the Bible says,...
Caring Well
by Rod D. MartinSeptember 29, 2021 Yesterday, after five hours of deliberations, the SBC Executive Committee adopted my motion by a vote of 77% to 23% to give the officers another week to find unity and consensus with Guidepost Solutions and the Task Force. My motion...
For the Good of the Survivors and of the SBC
by Rod D. MartinSeptember 23, 2021 I was one of the large majority of SBC Executive Committee members who voted for the motion asking for further contract discussions over the next several days. I have a lot to say about that, but for now, this is the essence. First,...
Unbiblical Orders Must be Disobeyed
by Rod D. MartinSeptember 6, 2021 Another snippet from our African Development Summit at Liberty University, featuring Dean (and former Congressman) Dave Brat, NYT bestselling author Kevin Freeman, and me. Among other things, I address the travesty of absolutizing...
Socialism is Covetousness, Capitalism is the Golden Rule
by Rod D. MartinSeptember 4, 2021 A snippet from our African Development Summit at Liberty University. If you look closely you’ll notice the former US Secretary of Defense on my panel, among others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-FfH_mAxQg Our Faith Tells Us What...
The Religion of Scientism
by Rod D. MartinAugust 11, 2021 A friend of mine clearly has COVID: she’s exhausted, has lost taste and smell, etc. For complicated reasons, she had five COVID tests in the last few days. Two came back positive, three negative. But #FollowTheScience,...
Small Churches Have THE Voice in the SBC, If They Will Just Use It
by Rod D. MartinMay 8, 2021 I hear a lot of our smaller church pastors lamenting the state of the SBC and the degree to which their voices go unheard. I get it. So does Pastor Mike Stone, my friend whom I'm supporting for SBC President. I grew up in towns of 3,500 and...
Why the Woke Crowd is Now Labeling Sheet Music and Math as “Racist”
by Rod D. MartinMarch 30, 2021 Some of you are struggling to understand why the Woke crowd is now labeling things like sheet music and math as "racist". It seems very strange. It's not strange at all. Critical Race Theory, one subset of Critical Theory along with such...
Jesus is a Capitalist
by Rod D. MartinMarch 29, 2021 Jesus is a Capitalist. Yes, this will come as a shock to your gender studies professor, your hippie uncle, and perhaps even your (non-economically trained) pastor. But it's true. The entirety of Scripture not only assumes but establishes...
