“A Christian society is not going to arrive until most of us really want it: and we are not going to want it until we become fully Christian.”
C.S. Lewis
@DineshDSouza@DineshDSouza …congrats on the two books. I think the point is that neither will ever become required reading in any graduate program in theology.
Criticizing Pastors for not doing the identical work of Charlie Kirk is like criticizing your attorney for not replacing your heart valve after collapsing after getting his bill. God called Charlie Kirk to a very different ministry than he calls the local pastor-teacher. This is a fundamental category error…and a smug one at that.
“Pastor-teachers” … quietly teaching the Scriptures, comforting the broken-hearted, praying for the sick, enduring the local criticisms of city government…all without a YouTube audience, maga donors and influencers…mustard seed living …unimportant, seemingly uninfluential…yet God has choosen the foolishness of preaching to save the lost. Been working a long time.
@MaineLogic Troy Jackson’s arm around a trans man is virtually redundant. If Troy Jackson fathered children with his cousin…and he did…then he is too charactered flawed to make decisions for you.
@ellisdavidperry Republicans don’t win because they refuse to engage the actual opposition and their tactics. A good dose of Machiavelli is in order. But, don’t get your hopes up.
@EvangelicalDW The problem isn’t female “pastors.” The problem is every single Christian who voluntarily listens. Female “pastors” go away tomorrow without an audience.
@coconservative7 The presbytery alone will not guarantee good church discipline outcomes. Looks great on paper but in real life operates essentially the same as an Elder led unaffiliated Reformed Baptist church. The only true protection is the godliness of the Elders. Choose wisely.
@DineshDSouza@DineshDSouza …Sinclair Ferguson is still available. Try him on for size. I doubt if you’re serious about a real debate with a real Reformed theologian.
