I’ve seen it so many times — people that appeared to be solid believers drifting away from the faith and embracing various false teachings. It always breaks my heart! Elizabeth Prata addresses this sad reality in There’s no such thing as an ex-Christian for The End Time. She brings in plenty of Scripture to support her claim, giving clarity on why people seem to abandon Christianity. Her explanation doesn’t take away the pain, but as least it helps us understand why this happens.

It’s been a while since anyone has written for Pyromaniacs, but Dan Phillips has broken the silence. His Pastoral Letter on “Pride Month” ~~ Talking to Your Children is a wonderful resource for parents whose children may be asking some ticklish questions right now. I love the way he goes back to Genesis to lay the foundation for his explanation. Although Blogspot pulled his post from their website, Phil Johnson managed to republish it on a private site.

Check out The Mailbag: How should I approach my church leaders about a false teacher they’re introducing? by Michelle Lesley. Michelle has run this article twice before, but her readers continue to ask her this question. Sadly, more and more churches fall into promoting teachers and music that deviates from sound doctrine, making it necessary for discerning women and/or their husbands to have difficult conversations with church leaders. Michelle offers helpful guidelines for those discussions.

Leslie A knows a thing or two about flowers since she and her husband have operated a landscaping business for 36 years. So she understands how Fake Flowers are a Little Like Fake Religion. Her post in Growing 4 Life shows us four reasons that professing Christians often overlook the signs of false teaching.

For quite some time, I’ve noticed an overemphasis on patriarchy. I’ve tried to address it, only to have my peers politely dismiss my concerns. Now, however, the problem has become much more obvious, especially on Twitter. I very much appreciate Elizabeth Prata for analyzing the root cause of this disturbing trend in How does ‘hyper-patriarchy’ get born? More can, and must, be written about this cancer in evangelical circles, but Elizabeth has made a good start.

We all need tips for Navigating Pride Month, and Blake Long gives us some helpful ones in his blog, Theology & Life. His advice is practical, grounded in the Word of God. It also sobers us with the hard reality that Christians will experience varying levels of persecution for standing on Scripture in terms of LBGTQ matters. (Dan Phillips can verify that fact.)

Writing for G3 Ministries Blog, Scott Aniol reiterates, No, Women Can’t Preach in response (I suppose) to the kerfluffle in the SBC regarding this issue. He takes us through the pertinent Scriptures to demonstrate that the prohibition against women preaching is plain and indisputable.

I, appreciate The Cripplegate for publishing June is for Judgment by Robb Brunansky. Rather than focusing on the sexual immorality that people celebrate this month, Robb zeros in on the this underlying sin that offends the Lord. All of us commit this grievous sin, actually, and none of us should consider it something to celebrate.
