Posted on July 31, 2024 by Alyssa Sonnenburg
In an earlier article, it was highlighted how tragically, for the fourth time in a row, long-time self-professing Evangelical Christian and even worse, decades-long member in good standing of The Orchard Evangelical Free Church, Thomas Hayes has promoted evil division in God’s world and Christ’s church.

Do Christians Regularly Violate the Separation of Church and State?

Posted on September 15, 2021 by David E Smith

Many Christians and non-Christians misunderstand the relationship between morality and religion. Many mistakenly believe that morality is the same thing as religion and, therefore, mistakenly believe that they should not advocate for policies that reflect their moral beliefs. But morals and religion are not the same, and basing our decisions on public policies, laws, or elections on beliefs that derive from religious convictions does not constitute an unconstitutional establishment of a state religion.

The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention just released a document titled “Here We Stand: An Evangelical Declaration on Marriage,”  signed by scores of religious leaders. It is largely an excellent document that embodies an unequivocal, courageous commitment to truth.

That said, it also makes the troubling claim that Christians ought not be angry: “Outrage and panic are not the responses of those confident in the promises of a reigning Christ Jesus.”
