Jade refers to me as husband, while Justus, Azlee, and Graham call me daddy. The members at @fpjoplin address me as pastor. But above all, God calls me redeemed
I think this is a great demonstration of how brothers can respectfully engage a potentially divisive topic in the public square. There were no accusations or assumptions, just respectful requests for clarification that led to deeper understanding. We need more of this in the SBC.
This is true, insofar as we understand it to mean that Christianity profoundly shaped both our Founding Fathers and a vast number of the original colonial settlers. We should not infer, however, that America possesses a unique role in God’s redemptive plan akin to Israel’s in the Old Testament.
@ABC Like it or not, our country is what it is largely because it grew out of deeply rooted Christian principles. The Bible has profoundly shaped our society, morality, and culture, and our nation’s history cannot be fully understood apart from an examination of the biblical text.
@willi16667@BethMooreLPM I agree that it is the local church’s responsibility to decide the roles in which women may serve, except in those areas where Scripture has already clearly permitted or restricted. In those instances, neither individual nor church autonomy supersedes biblical authority.
@DerwinLGray You can’t fix ethnic discrimination with more ethnic discrimination. DEI & similar approaches only create fresh resentment, division, & hostility by favoring one group over another. The solution is the cross of Christ. At the cross, the ground is level, and in the church we one.
@LostMyHats Honestly, I’m not entirely sure. Our goal is simply to proclaim God’s Word, share the gospel of hope and salvation, and encourage people to put Jesus first in their lives. I’d invite them to come back on any Sunday, attend a service, and hear more about Jesus.
@MikeCosper@PastorMark Mike, I’m glad you don’t support @jamestalarico. But what you fail to see is that speaking positively about his demeanor is essentially complimenting the fake wool of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The man is a heretic, & that is what our analysis should focus on—nothing more.
@KSPrior Many in the faith became confused and overly shaped by culture, but we are returning to truth and, by God’s grace, will once again shape culture instead of being shaped by it. This is a great example of that return to truth as defined by Scripture.
“She said, you know Ravi would always pray before he rap*d me.”
God used @RuthMalhotra to encourage and advocate for justice on behalf of survivors.
She courageously shared her story with me on The Just Life. https://t.co/w5uy3FfppK
@BethMooreLPM@howertonjosh@pastordmack Be careful not to take the exception and make it the rule. God’s creation mandate is “to be fruitful & multiply” within the covenant of marriage. While some are called to singleness, Scripture shows that for most young men and women, marriage & parenthood are God-honoring desires

Abortion is the modern-day equivalent of ancient child sacrifice. If you listen closely to what she’s saying, she’s admitting that she sacrificed her child on the altar of her career. She traded the life of her baby to protect her fame and increase her wealth. May God have mercy.
This is a must watch! Stevie Nicks speaks openly about the abortion that allowed her to continue her career at the height of Fleetwood Mac’s rise. She makes it plain: access to abortion made her life, her art, and her voice possible.
@TomBuck I was honored to chair this task force of faithful leaders committed to speaking with clarity and advancing unity and vitality in our shared mission of making disciples. It is my hope that similar efforts will be embraced by other state conventions and at the national level.
