@uribrito I am part way through it. It's excellent! I'm also enjoying his "Sounding the Seasons," and "David's Crown" books.

[Austin Rouse @Arouse1995]

@davemitz Amen!

[Austin Rouse @Arouse1995]

@TBush1689 Training your children for corporate worship and wrestling with them is a "distraction," not a providential gift of God for your sanctification. That mindset is what grieves me.

[Austin Rouse @Arouse1995]

@wrowclif Wholeheartedly agree.

[Austin Rouse @Arouse1995]

@PerfInjust "the magistrate, under his extraordinary powers - and after the church fails to act effectively - may correct errant ministers, or a corrupt or heretical church." Why does the state hold final authority on what is heresy, as opposed to the church?

[Austin Rouse @Arouse1995]

@PerfInjust Hey Stephen, in your chapter on political theory in Reformed Christian Politics, you spoke to this in terms of the state's ability to check/correct the church.

[Austin Rouse @Arouse1995]

@mdh_jr @FoundersMin @banneroftruth True!

[Austin Rouse @Arouse1995]

One reason I love the books @FoundersMin publishes, besides their content, is they make genuinely beautiful books that feel good in the hand. I can respect a handsome dustcover, but I loathe them on my books. Thankfully, Founders books always look better without them anyways.

I am grateful for Dr. Mohler's efforts around this issue (and it is an issue). I will gladly be supporting this proposed amendment!

[Albert Mohler @albertmohler]

"Why does the Truth and Unity Amendment include both office and function? What's the purpose of adding the line about preaching?"

Discussing these questions with @DennyBurk and @colinsmo on the @CBMWorg podcast. The vast majority of Southern Baptists are unified on this issue.

[Austin Rouse @Arouse1995]

@bartbarber No thanks, Bart.

@BaptistPress Grateful for the opportunity! I'll just note that I'm merely one of the pastors at our church who has been blessed to share in shepherding what the Lord has been doing.

@chrisman Ask them what the consequences should be for homeschooling parents who fail to educate children. Then ask what the consequences should be for public schools that do the same.

The difference in answers is the game.

[Austin Rouse @Arouse1995]

@ScottAniol Christ was never ontologically severed from the Father, yet He was truly forsaken judicially. On the cross He “became sin”; the Father withheld covenant favor and poured out wrath on our guilt imputed to Him, so we might be set free.
