Last updated on: September 10, 2024 at 2:28 pm By Ginny Baxter

There Are Signs We Are As the U.S. 2024 presidential election draws ever closer, at least two positive changes may be occurring. The far-right extremist, white evangelical voting block may be beginning to crack, and at the same time, some post-evangelicals are pulling away from politics. The nation may finally be moving away from extremism and toward a new post-evangelical era. That’s according to new data and CNN’s new article, Post-evangelicals Shift Away from Faith Tied to Republican Politics. Moderate... Read more

Last updated on: August 26, 2024 at 9:50 am By Ginny Baxter

In a nation where people have the right to worship – or not worship – as their souls dictate, a presidential candidate’s relationship with God shouldn’t be open to public scrutiny. But it is. Less than three months from now, Americans will hold an election in which faith matters. It matters a great deal. So, let’s look at the faith of one candidate for president. Let’s look at Kamala’s faith. A Melting Pot America has been called a melting pot,... Read more

Radical Right Opens Schools to Satanism, Religious Tyranny

Last updated on: July 27, 2024 at 2:58 pm By Ginny Baxter

Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst…. Those are the words of Thomas Paine, one of America’s founding fathers. Now, fast forward to the 21st century, and you will find radical right-wing politicians forcing their brand of religious tyranny on impressionable school children in several states. And in doing so, they have unintentionally opened schools to Satanism. Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas and Florida schools are prime examples of religious tyranny in America. Louisiana law requires...

Stepping Away from Religious Freedom in America

Here’s What’s Happening in Louisiana & Oklahoma Louisiana and Oklahoma are stepping away from religious freedom in America and taking their citizens with them. Can the nation be far behind? And is it a positive step or a dangerous movement? Louisiana recently passed a law requiring all public schools to display the 10 commandments in their classrooms. Meanwhile, Oklahoma’s chief education officer has mandated that public schools teach the Bible in all grades beginning with the fifth grade. That’s fine... Read more

Let Us Prey: Stopping Predators in the Church

Last updated on: June 23, 2024 at 12:39 pm By Ginny Baxter

0 Comments

Predators are quite good at targeting and preying on churches because churchgoers are generally easy, trusting targets. Unfortunately, religious organizations are less effective in stopping predators in the church. That we know. So, what can Christian churches do? Catholics have been dealing – or not dealing – with sexual abuse of children for decades. The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is taking its time finding solutions to its scandal, which is more about men attacking women than child abuse. And the... Read more

Misogyny Wins the Day at SBC’s Annual Meeting

Last updated on: June 15, 2024 at 5:47 pm By Ginny Baxter

Misogyny has prevailed once again in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), which held its annual meeting in Indianapolis June 11-12. Although a constitutional amendment to ban female pastors failed by a small margin, the organization’s new president, Clint Pressley of Charlotte, NC, assured the world that the SBC’s complementarian beliefs remain strong. In other words, misogyny wins the day. Complementarianism is the belief that God gives men and women complementary roles in the home and church. Translated, it... Read more
