@MusingsOnChrist Right. But in this case I’m talking about the Reformed scholastics.

[Tom McCall @RealTomMcCall]

@MusingsOnChrist @RScottClark @JohnPiper Many C17 Reformed theologians explicitly affirm that good works are an instrumental cause of salvation (in addition to being ‘fruit and evidence’). ‘Reforned’ theologians criticizing Piper on this point need to attend more closely to their own tradition.

[Tom McCall @RealTomMcCall]

@RScottClark Yes. Start with the sources. Just don’t neglect all the Reformed scholastic sources that explicitly affirm that good works indeed are an instrumental cause of salvation.

[Robert P. George @McCormickProf]

I don’t see any way to interpret President Trump's "prediction" that "a whole civilization will die tonight" as other than a threat to order the military to commit crimes against civilians. If he issues such an order, it will be the duty of military leaders to refuse to comply.

[Edward Feser @FeserEdward]

What Kennedy, Cuomo, and many other Catholic Democrats were to abortion, Rubio, Vance, and many other Catholic Republicans now are to violations of just war doctrine. They all sell out innocent life and their Catholic faith for politics. This is a test and they are failing it.

[Tom McCall @RealTomMcCall]

@ChristopherHale Maybe he has ‘absolutely no control over what the other ministers said.’ But surely he has some control over his ability to applaud while they are spouting nonsense

[Edward Feser @FeserEdward]

Enough with false prophets, liars, and sycophants like Graham and White. I earnestly pray that no harm comes to the U.S. and Israel, but to pretend that ours is some righteous cause with the wind of Providence behind its back is delusional and blasphemous. Our nations are absolutely drunk on the deadly sins of pride, lust, greed, wrath, acedia, gluttony, and envy, and on the blood of the unborn to which even much of the Christian right now turns a blind eye out of loyalty to a leader it has transformed into an idol. We do not grieve or repent of these sins but glory in our own military and economic power, and in our fantasized greater virtue relative to other nations. We wage war not reluctantly and in a spirit of humility, but with a libido dominandi and callous indifference to the effects on civilian populations – including the deaths of tens of thousands in Gaza and hundreds of thousands in Iraq, to mention only two especially appalling examples. And then we shrug and move on to the next thing. This is hubris tempting nemesis, pride going before a fall. These idiotic Elmer Gantrys should re-read their bibles, where they’ll find that the history of the people of God is portrayed not as one of virtue rewarded with endless military victories and material blessings, but rather one of continual moral corruption and apostasy on which divine punishment is repeatedly visited.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Parts of Gaza, Lebanon and Iran are being flattened. Thousands of innocent children have been killed. Millions of people displaced. And before anyone says “But, Hamas, Hezbollah”…Imagine if Britain had done the same to Ireland after the IRA bombings? You cannot justify this.

@kennysilva @RScottClark Gotcha

[Tom McCall @RealTomMcCall]

@kennysilva @RScottClark Nothing inherently wrong with not preaching Christ? Or something wrong or at least a little sus about preaching Christ from the OT?

[Matthew J. Milliner @millinerd]

Stunned to learn in the #Olympics2026 commentary that the Milan Cathedral was built to show us "everything humanity is capable of." Up until now I had thought it was about God.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

Nope. A judge who was nominated and confirmed according to the constitutional process just issued a ruling interpreting the law, holding that the administration was lawless.

If you disagree with the ruling, you can appeal. That's how the law works.

Some of us were dealing with this almost a decade earlier.

[Tom McCall @RealTomMcCall]

Overrated.

Final records against other P4 conferences in bowl games this season:

ACC: 7-3

BIG-10: 6-4

BIG-12: 4-3

SEC: 1-8

[Jon “JR” Rhoades @jrs_rankings]

The SEC has not increased its number of ranked teams from the preseason AP Poll to the final AP Poll for 7 straight years now.

2019: 6 to 5
2020: 7 to 4
2021: 5 to 5
2022: 6 to 6
2023: 6 to 6
2024: 9 to 7
2025: 10 to 7

Maybe they should stop ranking more than 6 SEC teams in the preseason.
