Rod on the Deeper Things That Shape UsIt 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,...

For the Good of the Survivors and of the SBC

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
