Don’t forget your photo ID!

False bravado.

Most of these men have endorsed Paula White. I dare say not one of them would be willing to call her a false teacher.

If you endorse Paula White or are not willing to call her a false teacher publicly, you may turn in your man card.

Where can we turn when the weight of persistent illness tempts us to despair? In this article, Matt Mumma points to Psalm 62 and calls the weary and weak beleiver to hope in the Lord, even when relief isn’t a reality.

@SenWarren How about you stop inciting envy against a successful American businessman and encourage moms to stay home and take care of their kids, which would most certainly be better than government-run daycare.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire wealth tax, we could pay for child care for all three and four year olds in America.

I am not a fan of UFC on White House lawn (tasteless and undignified, at best), but Hunter Biden thinks he has any moral authority here? Seriously?

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter

P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.

What is your source to determine standards for a “moral society”?

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

In 2018, @elonmusk paid $0 in federal income taxes. Most Americans pay 14%+ of their income.

He pays the same into Social Security as someone making $184.5K — a sum he made just 15 minutes after midnight on New Year’s Eve.

Trillionaires shouldn’t exist in a moral society.

[Virgil L. Walker @virgilwalker]

Oh look—a denomination that has decided to follow what Scripture says about pastors. The Bible knows nothing of women pastors. They don’t exist.

If your “pastor” is a woman, she isn’t a pastor. She’s a feminist problem dressed in clerical robes.

[Matt Clapp @MattClapp]

I would just add that there is no such thing as a woman pastor.
There are weak men allowing women to be disobedient to God’s Word.

[CNN @CNN]

Thousands of Southern Baptists overwhelmingly voted to advance a formal ban on women pastors in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination. https://t.co/5zGM31qiYv

@CindyH91125 @virgilwalker This is tough. Have family members attending/serving in similar situations. I have very gently asked how they reconcile the practice with 1 Tim. 2&3. It doesn’t go well.

Not sure the UK is salvageable.

[Skint Eastwood @Skint_Eastwood1]

🚨 UK Police Arrest Christian for Wearing a Sign Because It’s ‘Likely to Cause Harassment, Alarm or Distress’

Man: “Currently I’m being arrested for expressing freedom of speech.”

Officer: “This gentleman has committed an offence by displaying a sign or writing that is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.”

Man: “Cuffing me for what? Freedom of expression, freedom of speech, inciting nothing. I have calm, rational debates with people. I was not disrespectful. I love people. I am a Christian.”

The man is then loaded into the back of a police van and taken away, all for wearing a sign that someone might find offensive.

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

The story in the Bible that rattled me before I converted to Christianity from Islam:

The two thieves crucified next to Jesus. I never knew about them. Bro. They’re the whole Gospel in one scene.

Two men. Same sin. Same cross. Same dying breath. Same distance from Jesus — mere feet away on either side.

One mocks Him. One turns to Him and says, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

And Jesus tells the second man: “Today you will be with Me in paradise.” Luke 23:43.

That man did ZERO good works. He couldn’t. His hands were nailed down. He never prayed five times. Never fasted. Never gave to the poor. Never got baptized. He had nothing to offer but a dying glance toward Jesus.

And Jesus saved him... on the spot.

In Islam, that man was doomed. No time to balance the scale. No deeds to weigh. Game over. A horrible life with a horrible punishment ahead.

I wonder if that would be me…

Yet in the Gospel, that man was in paradise the same day — because salvation was never about his works. It was about WHO he turned to in his last moment.

Two criminals. Same cross. One simple difference: which one turned to Jesus.

That’s why the Gospel is offensive.

And Jesus asks everyone: who do you say I am?

It’s a “harmful” message to be faithful to what God has said?

[Baptist Women in Ministry (BWIM) @BaptistWomen]

Today, the SBC voted again to further restrict women in pastoral roles in churches all across the country.

Baptist Women in Ministry laments this decision and the harmful messages it amplifies.
