I continue to hear from readers about how the story of my journey out of extreme fundamentalism has been a blessing to them.  From time to time, my readers share some of their own stories.  Recently, a young woman named Becca shared her story with me, and I received permission from her to share it [...]

When I first posted “My Story” on my blog back in December of 2005, I didn’t have a clue about blogging.  I posted an enormously long letter, with some slight formatting changes, as one big post.  By God’s grace, that post has blessed my readers more than any other.  I’ve received dozens of comments over [...]

The fundamentalist blog Sharper Iron is running a series of posts by Dr. Jeff Straub of Central Baptist Theological Seminary (Minneapolis) on the future of fundamentalism.  The series is entitled “The Fundamentalist Challenge for the 21st Century: Do We Have a Future?”.  The first post is quite good.
The post links to a chart describing the [...]

If you have followed fundamentalist blogging at all, or if you consider yourself a bit of a reformed (or former) fundamentalist, in the IFB sense, listen up.  Bob Bixby has a phenomenal post detailing the history and motivations behind his 7 years of blogging.  He is hanging up the towel on Pensees, but this [...]

The last few years have seen the world wide web do a number on fundamentalism.  I speak particularly of the independent fundamental Baptist (IFB) movement, and the influence of blogs like Sharper Iron (SI).
Jason Janz, SI’s founder, published his young fundamentalist survey, and soon thereafter Phil Johnson (of Pyromaniac fame), delivered his speech “Dead Right: [...]

Pastor Steve Anderson is the embodiment of almost everything extreme about independent fundamental Baptists.  It seems he enjoys posting his often abrasive and extreme preaching as a series of video clips on Youtube.
I’ve posted a jaw-dropping clip of his before, and this one almost tops that.  In it he defends the notion that Jesus actually [...]

This video is unbelievable. I’ve seen this guy post on the Fundamental Forums, and he is basically as extreme as one can get on the KJV.  [HT: Ryan DeBarr]
In this clip, he’s using the phrase “him that pisseth against a wall” to emphasize manliness, and to claim the KJV is a superior version, since [...]

Hardly anyone today would consider the wearing of pants by women to be a breach of decency or a sign of rebellion against the God-given roles of manhood & womanhood. This is the 21st century, women have been liberated, and times have certainly changed, haven’t they?
The Fundamentalist Position
Yet for many sincere and well-meaning Christian [...]

I’ve been absent from the blogworld for a few weeks, and I’m making my way back.
I came across some interesting, hard-hitting posts at JackHammer directed against the legacy of Jack Hyles and his current successor Jack Schaap. I thought I’d point the articles out, since they are much more level-headed and Scripturally motivated than [...]
