A Brief History of the Altar Call
“By the mid-20th century, altar calls had become a staple of evangelical and Baptist life in America, especially in the South.” But where did that thing come from in the first place?
Progressivism’s Peak Lunacy

Lisa Robinson asks some urgent and important questions as she, a visible minority, heads to her white Evangelical church. “How does this all cause me to even look at those white people in my church, and white Christians in general? How can I now not be suspicious of them? Are they now not those who oppose me, who oppose blackness and the struggle that has existed for so many years?”

Joe Carter takes his best shot at answer a perplexing question.

A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing, and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.
—Martin Luther
