How the Sovereign Grace Ministry Child Sex Abuse Scandal Makes the Nashville Statement Worthless

A look at the Nashville Statement and how it was made worthless by the Sovereign Grace Ministries child sex abuse scandal. This looks at the Nashville Statement briefly and asks the question, how could C.J. Mahaney sign such a statement? So being gay or certain forms of sexual activity is sin; yet the alleged cover-up of the rape of a child is fine? Plus the timing of the statement was really awful considering Hurricane Harvey and the Neo-Nazi riot in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Recommended Read: Politico on Evangelical Culture Wars; It Wasn’t the Legalization of Abortion that Triggered them it was the Threat of Bob Jones University Losing its Funding due to its Segregation Practices

Is Brandywine Valley Baptist Church in Wilmington, Delaware in the Early Stages of Being Theologically Hijacked and Made a 9 Marks Franchise?

A historical look at the hijacking of the Achille Lauro in October of 1985. The hijacking of the Achille Lauro provides lessons as we look at Brandwine Valley Baptist Church in Wilmington, Delaware which appears to be in the early stages of a theological hijacking by Nate Keeler. This church which appears to be in the elementary stages of going 9 Marks is profoundly troubling. This post is a warning to people in Brandywine and those in the Wilmington area that its time to leave or stay away from Nate Keeler’s church. 

The Strategic Role the EFCA can Play in Racial Healing; Plus Did the EFCA Allegedly Remove a Church from the Denomination that Had Ties to the White Supremacist Organization the League of the South?

One of the key issues of today is racism and in that area the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA) is strategically poised to play a critical role in responding to that topic. My question is this, are they ready and do they realize their capability? In this area its The Wondering Eagle’s belief that Eddie Cole could bring a lot to the table based upon his experience at Salem Church in Staten Island, New York. Plus The Wondering Eagle would like to know, did the EFCA allegedly remove a church from the denomination that had ties to the White Supremacist organization known as  The League of the South?  If that happened this is a call for information as that should be documented and written about.
