The De-vangelism of the Southern Baptist Convention

Every week, faithful church members dutifully write checks to support the Lord’s work at their local Baptist church, and thousands of these churches turn over a percentage of this giving to the para-church cooperation known as the Southern Baptist Convention. The bulk of this funding goes to support international evangelism/church

Discerning Praise and Worship – A Primer

Knowing that I’m a musician, many readers of Protestia and followers/supporters of Protestia Tonight have asked me how I approach the selection of worship music from a biblical perspective. In response, I’d like to humbly offer my rating system for figuring out if a given song belongs in your church

Op-Ed: Was the Apostle Bartholomew Even Martyred? Myths that’ll Preach

The National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) was founded in 1942 as a new coalition to ‘unify evangelicals and to function as a “middle way” between the bitterly divided fundamentalist and progressive streams of American Christianity.’” In actuality, they emerged as an ecumenical organization designed to serve as controlled opposition to
