The thing that really concerns me is his willingness to pull back which exposes those under his care. He can remain insulated while guys in his church take all the shots. The business owner, manager, dad, all bear the weight of this. They are then told to “poke holes” in the blue glacier grinding their families and businesses to minerals. How about we demolish the glacier.
We announced yesterday that in 2026 Eschatology Matters will be hosting their conference at our church in Jacksonville. We are excited to welcome Michael Foster, Matthew Everhard, Josh Howard and Alex Kocman to speak. Space is limited, so be sure to register early!
@Djkeene1 Reclaiming these Churches is our focus down in Jacksonville, FL. Our mission is to grow, and replant into existing Church buildings, make them beautiful again and reach the people around them. I’d love to connect with likeminded brothers. We’re 1 year into our plant.
@ColtonYarbro May I suggest Don't Waste Your Breath: Ecclesiastes and the Joy of a Fleeting Life
By Brian Borgman as you prepare to preach Ecclesiastes.
One of the more frustrating things to observe as a Pastor and Christian are characters who’ve built followings through chronic online activity acting as though they represent us on the political right. They are playing the platforms to their advantage and grifting to no end.
On the LORD’s day it’s important that we worship with GOD’s people! Covenant Church Jax will answer the question the disciples ask in Luke 8:25 “Who then is this?”
“If you are in a shallow church, seek for a healthy church with depth—a church that values expository preaching, meaningful membership, and discipleship. . . . What you are looking for is not a change of doctrine, but a change in depth.” —Aaron Cliff

“I long for the day when the precepts of the Christian religion shall be the rule among all classes of men, in all transactions!
I often hear it said, ‘Do not bring religion into politics.’ This is precisely where it ought to be brought, and set there in the face of all men as on a candlestick!
I would have the Cabinet and the members of Parliament do the work of the nation as before the Lord, and I would have the nation, either in making war or peace, consider the matter by the light of righteousness.
We are to deal with other nations about this or that upon the principles of the New Testament. I thank God that I have lived to see the attempt made in one or two instances, and I pray that the principle may become dominant and permanent!
We have had enough of clever men without consciences—let us now see what honest, God-fearing men will do!”
—Charles Spurgeon
This is subversion and should be rejected. It’s unloving and destructive to tell women to do both.
Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. Titus 2:3–5
KAROLINE LEAVITT: “You can and you should do both because actually being a mom and having a family and having a job, it gives you the greatest perspective.”
@PressSec live at the This Is the Turning Point Tour
John 19:41-42 “Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
It was the will of our Triune GOD to send the Son to the cross. All through the Old Testament, there were types and shadows of the most important event in creation history; the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus! Jesus died a true death and was buried. A great heaviness and sorrow was felt while Jesus was in the tomb and we shouldn't move past that too quickly. What does it mean that He died?
This Good Friday, which are you?
The man who looks away?
The man who looks with disgust?
The man who looks and mocks?
The man who looks and lives!
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
