Last weekend a Ramsey County sheriff deputy showed up at my house because someone reported that my truck was hanging two feet out of my driveway.
Meanwhile, agitators still show up outside our church every Sunday to harass people and do illegal drugs on land ran by the Parks & Rec. The police do nothing. The sheriff department refuses to get involved.
We get the message. And we’re not going anywhere. We rejoice to be blessed of God.
Just an observation from my own background and context. As a pastor who’s been a Christian for almost twenty-five years, I encounter antinomianism probably 10x more than legalism among Christians.
Your experience may be different, but I wish Reformed evangelicals showed as much urgency confronting antinomianism as they do legalism.
A man can have the right theology, the right books, the right enemies, the right views on the family, worship, politics, and every other hot-button issue, and still have very little experimental religion. Very little mortification of sin. Very little fear of God. Very little self-control. What a terrifying thought.
After more than 13 months since John MacArthur went to Heaven, the elders of Grace Community Church announced this morning that Dr. Nathan Busenitz has accepted the call to serve as Senior Pastor of Grace Community Church.
"You will often find more solid theological piety among tailors and shoemakers than among cardinals, bishops, and abbots."

The oncologist told me last week that the cancer seems to be making a rebound. "Remission" lasted less han 3 months. They are now prepping me for a different kind of treatment.
@LigonDuncan@albertmohler Great conversation @LigonDuncan.
Got me thinking. Have you come across any dissertations that contrast the Conservative Resurgence with the PCUS's failed conservative movement?
"James Montgomery Boice was one of the great bridge builders of modern Reformed evangelicalism."
In this new episode, @grcastleberry and @jwtweed explore Boice's life, his commitment to biblical authority, and the lasting influence he had on leaders like R.C. Sproul, John MacArthur, John Piper, and Tim Keller.

What a joy from the Lord it was to see Mark Dever back in the pulpit today, preaching at @chbcdc for the first time since his near-fatal cardiac event on Memorial Day.
Grateful for the Lord’s preserving grace and His continued faithfulness.
