2 Chronicles 28:23

Don’t worship what works. Worship the Lord who works.
Pragmatism is a breath away from idolatry.

Articles 15-17 of BFM 2000 are very good representations of two tensions in Baptist political theology:

(1) Christians should be civically & socially engaged for the betterment of Christian society under Christian ideals

(2) This cannot happen through governmental compulsion

[Mick Ryan, AM @WarintheFuture]

In the past 24 hours we have seen again the brutality of the Putin regime, and the murderous band of barbarians called the Russian military. The deliberate attack by a Russian precision missile on the Okhmatdyt hospital, despite its horror, is part of a wider Russian campaign to terrorise the people of #Ukraine. 1/10 🧵🇺🇦

Make the case, and die cheerfully. The 'Lactantius Option'.

[Jacob Helsley @JacobHelsley]

What is justifying faith?
1. Self-renunciation. “Faith is going out of one’s self.” All trust in one’s merit and righteousness flees.
2. Reliance. “The soul casts itself upon Jesus.”
3. Appropriation. Apply Christ and His benefits by receiving Him.

-Thomas Watson
