God isn’t humored by mere cultural Christianity. His righteousness and holiness certainly aren’t satisfied by it.

As Christians, we should be known as a right and gracious people, rather than a right and angry people. Hold fast to God’s truth, but do so in love.

[David Mataya @DavidMataya2]

Any intimacy we can have in our knowledge of God can only come when He, in grace, affords it to us through His word.

[David Mataya @DavidMataya2]

The fullness of fatherhood is seen in grace. A steadfast love that looks beyond the rebel child and offers hope for restoration. So it is with God, so it should be with us.

[David Mataya @DavidMataya2]

The role of fatherhood is seen in the beautiful blending of both affection and authority. Never lacking either. It should reflect our divine Father’s disposition toward us.

Pursuing sin is no small thing. It’s like laying the cross on the ground and treading back and forth across Christ’s tortuous, bloody offering of grace in order to satisfy self.

The older I get, the more I appreciate the design and purpose of suspenders. None yet, but just sayin’.

[David Mataya @DavidMataya2]

Pastors, we need fewer sound bites and more sound doctrine.

The pain of the human shepherd is having limits of time, strength, and endurance to care for the flock. The beauty of our Greater Shepherd is that He has no such limits.

There is a manifest difference between a discerning spirit and a critical spirit. Only the former can speak truth in love.

[David Mataya @DavidMataya2]

@jonbenz @dalepartridge That would seem the right context (Deut 19:15, Num 35:30, 2 Cor 13:1, etc). But then what about the wisdom of many counselors (Prov), or the authority and responsibility of pastor/elders to exhort/admonish? Even if they are not witnesses?

[David Mataya @DavidMataya2]

It is a glorious truth that the gospel is never truly at stake. The gospel is what God has accomplished through Christ. It is finished. No culture war or ideology will overcome it. No politic or moral decline will eradicate it. God alone accomplishes all His purposes!

@nocoradio @desiringGod Brother, I’d love to hear a more detailed critique. I read the full article and found it to be a strong, Christ-honoring criticism of intersectionality and a defense of a biblical anthropology. What am I missing?

[David Mataya @DavidMataya2]

A total devotion to the people of God is empty without a total devotion to the Person of God.

[David Mataya @DavidMataya2]

The idolatry of self is the constant song of sin that tells us we are the center of the universe. It doesn’t just distort our view of God and others, it utterly destroys it.

[David Mataya @DavidMataya2]

Hey Corporate America… how about marketing your products, not your ideologies? That would be refreshing!

[David Mataya @DavidMataya2]

In a world that grows darker, remember to fix your gaze wholly on the goodness of Christ.
Yes, we expose darkness, but make sure that isn't where you dwell.
