Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) was a slave who was liberated at age eight by Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation during the U.S. Civil War (Jan. 1, 1863). The illiterate boy pursued an education and became a prominent educator, businessman, author, and orator.

Washington was a Christian. He was a Baptist. He began and ended each day in prayer and read the Bible to his family every morning. “As a man of deep personal faith in God, he would never speak publicly unless he had first sought ‘the blessing of God upon.. see full report

Evidence for the Creator Is Irrefutable
Enlarged July 15, 2026 (first published March 26, 2015)
Atheists claim that there is no evidence for God, and agnostics claim that the evidence is not sufficient. The Bible reveals the secrets of men’s hearts to show that atheists and agnostics are deceiving themselves.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are.. see full report

Darwin: The Tormented Evolutionist

The following is excerpted from Seeing the Non-existent: Evolution’s Myths and Hoaxes, 638 pages, available as a free eBook at the Books section of www.wayoflife.org. See the "Free eBooks" filter button.
In rejecting God and promoting life as a product of blind evolution, Darwin was sinning against his own conscience and he suffered greatly for it. He was afraid of being branded “the Devil’s chaplain.” He was “destitute of faith, yet terrified at scepticism” (Desmond, Darwin, p. 268). “When Darwin did come out of his closet and bare his soul to a friend, he used a telling expression. He said it was ‘like confessing a murder’” (Desmond, p. xviii).

Steven Anderson’s Children Expose Him and He Curses Them

In 2024, three of Steven Anderson’s oldest children spoke out publicly about the cultic abuse in the pastor’s home. They have since been joined by a fourth oldest child.
When I first learned of one of Anderson’s son’s testimony of abuse in the home, I decided to leave it alone and not add it to the Anderson report (“What About Steven Anderson?”), because it was only one young man’s word against that of his father. But since then, that testimony has been confirmed by three other children. Further, I have since realized that many people have probably been drawn to Anderson because of what appeared to be his good Christian home. Some of his former members are publicly testifying that they feel.. see full report

WORLD CUP: ITS A FEELING (Friday Church News Notes, July 10, 2026, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - Recently a young man in an Asian country asked me, “Are you keeping up with the World Cup?” I told him I have no interest it; it has nothing to do with my life. I said, “It’s just a ball; it’s nothing.” He replied cheerfully but seriously, “It is not just a ball, it is feeling.” I was amazed. He nailed the attraction: It is an emotional high. It is a major stirring of man’s fallen nature promoted by electronic-energized hoopla: flashing video ads, pulse pounding music, blaring horns, larger than life images of super-fit sports stars, profanity, blasphemy, beer, liquor, marijuana, paraphernalia, vain nostalgia, massive wealth squandered on vanity, huge crowds, dancing, shouting, screaming, entrancing game highlights.. see full report

The following is excerpted from our new book History of Blacks in America and Their Baptist Churches, “The Jim Crow Era.” See the Free eBooks tab at the Books section of www.wayoflife.org.
“The Democratic party came to be more than a political party in the South--it came to be a defender of a way of life. And that way of life was the restoration as much as possible of white supremacy. ... The Confederate statues you see all around were primarily erected by Democrats” (David Goldfield, The Gifted Generation: When Government Was Good).
Democratic-controlled southern governments enacted segregation policies called Jim Crow Laws which effectively disenfranchised blacks and segregated all aspects of society. (Jim Crow was a black face comedy routine that denigrated blacks.) “The region then became the Solid South, giving overwhelming majorities of its electoral votes and Congressional seats to the Democrats through 1964” (“History of the United States Republican Party,” Wikipedia).. see full report

The last 20 years has witnessed a great change among fundamental Baptist churches, and music is usually involved in the changes.
Since the 1980s, warnings have been given about the role of contemporary music in the departure of a church from a biblical foundation, but the warnings have been widely ignored.

Rome Forbids the Bible
July 7, 2026
For 600 years the Roman Catholic Church attempted to keep the Bible out of the hands of the people.
- The Council of Toulouse, 1229, decreed that “the laymen” (non-priests) could not possess the books of the Old and New Testament “in the vulgar tongue.” The declaration of this official council was repeatedly cited by subsequent popes and councils.
- The Council of Trent, in 1546, claimed that the indiscriminate distribution of the Scriptures caused more evil than good and forbade the people to possess the Bible without a written license, which was almost never given. Booksellers were forbidden to sell any Bibles except to people who possessed a license.

A CLIMATE MODEL THAT WORKS (Friday Church News Notes, July 3, 2026, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - What the man-made climate change theory has always missed is God’s role in the climate by designing the earth to be self-balancing. This was discovered in the 1990s as “the Constructal Law.” Note its description in the following excerpt from “A Climate Model,” Powerline Blog, June 21, 2026: “The standard climate models that show skyrocketing temperatures in response to increases in atmospheric CO2 are well known to be wrong, as their predictions grossly exceed the amount of warming that is actually observed.

Beware of Tony Campolo
Enlarged July 2, 2026 (first published March 5, 2008)
Tony Campolo (1935-2024) was a popular “evangelical” speaker and author. He was professor emeritus of Sociology at Eastern University and an ordained minister in the liberal American Baptist Convention. He served as an associate pastor of the Mount Carmel Baptist Church in West Philadelphia, whereas his wife attends Central Baptist Church in Wayne, Pennsylvania. In an interview with me at the New Baptist Covenant Celebration in Atlanta in January 2008, he confirmed that he and his wife attended different churches.
Campolo was associated with the emerging church. For example, he co-authored Adventures in Missing the Point with ultra liberal emergent author Brian McLaren. McLaren also endorsed Campolo’s book Speaking My Mind: The Radical Evangelical Prophet Tackles the Tough Issues Christians Are Afraid to Face (2004).

Silence vs. The Silence
July 1, 2026 (first published September 15, 2011)
For more on this, see the book CONTEMPLATIVE MYSTICISM: A POWERFUL ECUMENICAL BOND, which is available as a free eBook from www.wayoflife.org.
There is a vast difference between biblical contemplation and the contemplative prayer that is sweeping through evangelicalism. It is the difference between “silence” and “the silence.”
In biblical contemplation, silence refers simply to a quiet place in which the soul can effectively seek the Lord. In Scripture it is called seeking the Lord (Psalm 105:3; Isaiah 55:6), waiting on the Lord (Psalm 69:6), meditating on the Lord (Psalm 104:34), meditating on God’s Word (Psalm 1:2).

First Televised Rock Worship Service

The band was The Mind Garage; the broadcaster was ABC (American Broadcasting Corporation); the forum was Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church in Bowery, Manhattan.
