Rod on the Deeper Things That Shape Us
Abortion: The Great Moral Evil of Our Time
by Rod D. MartinMay 3, 2022 Slavery was the great moral evil of another time. Abortion is the great moral evil of our time. The Dobbs ruling is like the Emancipation Proclamation: both glorious and incomplete, better than many had dared to hope for and also the best...
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...
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, 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, you're a "Christian...
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...
“Christian Nationalism”?
by Rod D. MartinMarch 12, 2021 When you ask these guys (by which I mean, reasonably prominent Millennial pastors who support Beth Moore, Russell Moore, et al.) to define their made-up term "Christian nationalism", they say things like: • having a flag in church • or...
Video: The Road to Serfdom
by Rod D. MartinNovember 23, 2020 Of all my speeches, this may be my all-time favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFBcTc37j8I&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR3gfokt-MSdnEUTta36hHljXhYJvMEw3hjucE6QkC0XCBLJTpAT3Q1sX5k -- The Road to Serfdom originally appeared...
Social Justice Is a Threat to Human Rights and the Gospel
by Samuel Sey October 13, 2018 In 1920, a young activist organized a public meeting in a major city. Inside a hall holding hundreds of poor, underprivileged people, he delivered a speech describing how his ethnic people were oppressed and burdened, exploited and...
A Little History of the NFL
by Rod D. Martin September 20, 2018 A little (very recent) history of the NFL: * In 2012 the NFL had an issue with Tim Tebow kneeling for each game to pray. They also had an issue with Tebow wearing John 3:16 as part of his eye-black to avoid glare, and made him take...
Russell Moore and II Chronicles 7:14
by Rod D. Martin August 25, 2018 I was reading today in Jeremiah, and I thought of Russell Moore (and a decent number of his followers). For Fourth of July (of course), Russell tweeted that II Chronicles 7:14 does not apply to America. This point seems to be cheered...
Evangelicalism’s ‘Newfound Obsession’ With Social Justice Is Threat to Gospel, John MacArthur Says
Anthony Bradley Calls Analysis 'a Pile of Ideological Conservative Rubbish' by Leonardo Blair August 15, 2018 Pastor John MacArthur argued that evangelicalism's "newfound obsession" with social justice is a threat to the Gospel. In a Monday blog post on his...
Why Politics Matters
by Rod D. Martin August 2, 2018 An end of day note before I leave my desk for dinner. On this day in 1934, Adolf Hitler became Fuhrer of Germany. He did not achieve this by conquest or coup, by revolution or revolt. Rather, he won an election. And then he used...
