For the Friedman inquirers: This is in the introduction to 'A Failure of Nerve', Friedman's opus and the source of many current controversies. My research revolves around the application of many of his argued concepts that one will find in this book. I hope this is illuminating:

Why Cornerstone Church Will Continue To Partner With Women To Preach To The Gathered Assembly, Regardless of the Outcome of The Mohler Amendment!!!!

1. Joel and Peter prophesied that women would “prophesy” in the last days(Joel 2: 28; Acts 2: 17).
2. Phillip’s four daughters served the church as prophetess(Acts 21: 7-9).
3. Paul empowered women to prophesy in gathered assemblies(1 Corinthians 11: 4, 5).
4. Paul empowered Phoebe to address the gathered assembly, and told the men to show her hospitality, and to do whatever she asked them to do(Romans 16: 1, 2).
5. Paul affirmed Junia as an apostle(Romans 16: 7). Gifts are given without regard to gender(Eph. 4: 11, 12; 1 Corinthians 12).
6. Paul named Euoida and Syntecche as having “contended at my side in the cause of the gospel”(Phillipians 4: 2, 3). Paul also affirmed Nympha and the church in her house(Colossians 4).
7. Paul listed Priscilla’s name before Aquilla in Romans 16: 2, and acknowledged “the church that meets at their house.”

The only question remaining for me is, if the Mohler Amendment is ratified on its second reading, shall I await the disfellowship vote(which I will not appeal or contest)? Why would I await a vote to be disfellowshipped?

History would record that Cornerstone Church stood up for the word of God, and women who proclaimed his word. We’d rather not be disfellowshipped, but the tradition that I hail from suggests martyrdom leaves a mark in history for ancestors to track your trail, that they may be inspired to stand up for the truth of God’s word and his righteousness.

My only regret with regard to my time in the SBC is not allowing the SBC to disfellowship our church because of our continuationist theology, as Paige Patterson/& certain SWBTS trustees were once recommending. The IMB later abandoned their biblically indefensible cessationist policies forbidding their missionaries from praying according to the dictates of their conscience in private.

God may be giving Cornerstone a second opportunity to allow the SBC to disfellowship us, because we partner with Junia, Phoebe, Anna, Phillip’s four daughters and Lottie Moon, in empowering women to address the gathered assembly.

It took ten years for the SBC to correct the error of their ways in restricting the missionaries private prayers. Don’t know how long it will take them to get this women in ministry issue right. I may be in my grave when it happens, but I lean towards leaving a witness that every church didn’t follow Mohler off this cliff. Some churches stood up for biblical righteousness and examples, and were willing to pay the price of disfellowship in doing so.

"Gig Eva may well reshape significant parts of the Christian culture because it is so attuned to the pieties of the dominant expressive individualism of our day. Its advocates validate their personal authenticity by their constant iconoclasm, their decrying of anything that stands in their way, and their priority of disembodied, cost-free online engagement over the more expensive demands of service—and accountability—to real people in real time, in church and in homes. Big Eva had its problems. Gig Eva is set only to intensify them."

This passage from Leo's Encyclical is perfect. Perfect.

[Fr. Harrison Ayre @FrHarrison]

“In practice, however, technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise it, finance it, regulate it and use it.”

THANK YOU POPE LEO FOR SAYING THIS.

Time for the “technology is a tool with no inherent moral position” idea to die!

[Pope Crave @ClubConcrave]

"We must, then, avoid the 'Babel syndrome,' namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance."

One thing the Angels have over the dodgers and it's not debatable:

Angels have no bandwagon fans, everyone is a real fan, because ain't nobody choosing to put themselves through the mess of being an Angels' fan at this point 😂

[Jeff Wiesner @JeffreyPWiesner]

A “card-carrying dispensationalist” pastor was the first to make me see that the whole Bible fit together and that every word was true.

An anti-Calvinist Arminian showed me to how to do personal evangelism while in college.

An ERAS/EFS-teaching theologian introduced me to systematic theology with his best-selling single-volume systematic.

These are but a few examples of saints the Lord has used in my life to help me grow in my love for God and his word.

Today, I depart from each of them on important subjects—even strongly in some regards.

But I cannot be anything but grateful for the way that the Lord has used all kinds of faithful, Jesus-loving believers to bring me where I am today.

How could my posture toward such saints, even in disagreement, be anything but one that reflects the Lord’s kindness to me through them?

The high agency triangle

[Jake Osborne @JakeOsborneReal]

@buttonslives I think the goal is to understand evil within the greater context of what good really is. A lot of churches unintentionally believe in a dualism and that's not Jesus :) look for a kind, Jesus loving, bible-focused church. And don't let politics corrupt your faith!

Norm Macdonald was a Christian.

And this is perhaps the best Christian joke I've ever heard.

[Jake Osborne @JakeOsborneReal]

@Protestia I love Judah and I have heard tons of his sermons. IMO he is just not nuancing his perspectives well... hard to square some of his language but I am familiar enough with his content that I know he has a more robust theology than just "God doesn't punish us for bad stuff anymore"

[Jake Osborne @JakeOsborneReal]

@edstetzer @MBTS @talbottheology This is really incredible, Ed.

I had the privilege of rubbing shoulders with Dr.'s Tara and Todd Korpi that know you well. They spoke so highly of you!

Would love to connect sometime. Blessings!!

@hallofgoodpod I'm also thinking about the heart attacks he gave me on a weekly basis as an angels fan. What a fun and terrifying experience

@AngelsNews27 This is my favorite angels account. Kind and gracious, not melting down over every failure. Thanks for posting!

Lower glucose predicted more aggressive impulses between married couples.

Before a serious conversation, have a snack.

@ryanburge Ryan, do you think liberty is able to heavily communicate their culture through their programs? Just curious on your take.

[Jake Osborne @JakeOsborneReal]

Fascinating info here.

What seminaries are growing? Which ones are declining?

I compared the 2024 data from ATS to the same data from 2007 below.

Midwestern Baptist is up 290%
United Theological is up 244%

Southwestern Baptist is down 46%
Fuller Theological is down 63%

In adults, limiting smartphone functionality to texting and calls and blocking all social media and mobile internet for 2 weeks significantly improved attention, self-reported well-being and mental health. 90% of participants experienced a benefit.

A girl just said she tried to get rejected 1000 times in 2025 and ended up being cast in plays, winning pageants, securing hella paid brand deals, and appearing in commercials.This is your sign to chase rejection to the point of "accidental" success. You'll be surprised.
