Just a poor sinner. Saved by God's marvelous grace.

Stephen,Your claim only holds if baptism is a post-Pentecost add-on, a sacred extra that sits loosely on top of nature. Van Dorn argued the opposite in Waters of Creation.

Baptism is not new. It is the sign God has used from the waters of Genesis 1 onward to bring His people into a new creation, finding its clearest sacramental expression in the priestly covenant.

Baptism comes from baptism, not from circumcision or from some later casuistic law.

That continuity means the Christian faith is not adventitious to the natural ends of civil society. The same God who ordered nature also ordered the waters that set a people apart as a royal priesthood. Piety therefore has a real, public role in securing virtue; it is not a private supernatural plane disconnected from earthly duty.

Religious liberty still needs a philosophical account, but it cannot be framed as if the church’s ordinances arrived late and now threaten to replace nature. They fulfill and elevate what was already there.

The reason why states like Texas are declining is the fact that many Texans believe that "conservative values" are an acceptable substitute for Christian Morals. They are not the same thing. Texans need to repent and believe the gospel. Then they will know how to expel lawlessness.

Immigrants are standing in line to vote in the Swedish parliamentary election recently.

You keep on sitting out elections because of frustration, they will eventually decide what happens to your country.

@JonathanOC @mmalone228 @ryancduff Here's a good summary.

You haven't been to all of India. Many states have strict "nationalist" anti-conversion laws. On 31 May 2026 in Sadrapal village, Chhattisgarh, a mob of 40–50 people armed with sticks, axes and sickles attacked a Sunday prayer gathering of about 60–70 tribal Christians. At least 13 people were hospitalized with serious injuries, including pastor Hunga Madavi, who required blood transfusions after a severe head wound. Homes were later looted. Similar attacks have occurred in the same state after a tightened anti-conversion law. https://t.co/UfMsbFteWz

@J_MSmith2019 @WatersAbve It's a reference to Trump, but OK. Shall we consider Joseph, Daniel, Judas? God doesn't need creatures to do anything, but He chooses to do so.

[Tony Jackson @RealTonyJackson]

@WatersAbve Like I said. He has used pagan kings. 🤣 OTH, this could very well be "keeping his enemies closer." I guess we'll see.

@DebbieJ75426 @WatersAbve It's true because it was on tee vee 🥱

Most immigrants coming to our country are Muslims or Hindus. If you think wearing cowboy hats and jerseys are assimilation, you are a fool. Try to openly preach the gospel in Saudi or even large parts of India. See where that gets you The idea of racism is stupid. It's about culture.

[Tony Jackson @RealTonyJackson]

Awesome idea AJ. Tourism with a higher purpose. As a missionary kid myself, I would LOVE see American Christians visit faraway lands like PNG, where many of us supported missionaries in bringing the gospel to all tribes, tongues and nations. Imagine PNG, once a pagan nation, now a confessional Christian nation. Americans could learn so much! Thank you. Probably 10 days. Anything longer than that becomes difficult for folks to take off work.

@sawyer_dm As Walt Kaiser put it, "Just trying to שׁוּב (Shoove) you in the right direction."

[Tony Jackson @RealTonyJackson]

Brother, you are right to refuse the idea that God prizes our autonomy more than He hates evil, and you are right that His decree includes purposes we often cannot see.

Yet the deeper trouble is that we have no right to sit in judgment and decide which account makes Him look less monstrous.

God is His own theodicy, evil serves His glory by His sovereign will while we remain fully responsible, and any defense that begins with human freedom as the ultimate good simply continues the original claim of autonomy instead of bowing before the mystery of the self-attesting God of Scripture.

[Tony Jackson @RealTonyJackson]

I understand your frustration. As preachers, we are bombarded with messages from every armchair pastor, theologian and thinker. My frustration (which is certainly not binding on you or anyone) is with pastors who use the command to "preach the word" to ignore the battles being fought in front of us. IMHO, your post communicated that vibe. But again, that's your choice, not mine or anyone else's.

[Tony Jackson @RealTonyJackson]

@Dr__JE Looking back through your feed, it looks like you were critical of covid mandates. Did you address such things in your sermons? Only asking because you can "preach the Word" AND address the anxieties heavy on the minds of your flock.

[Tony Jackson @RealTonyJackson]

@Dr__JE The bigger tell. Did you cease meeting in person for 6 months during covid? Did you meet outside / 6 feet apart? Mandate masks? Tell your people getting the shot was the "Christian duty?" If so, did you ever repent of these things?

@AwakenedOutlaw This is so groundhog day for me.. I spent an insane amount of time on 9/11 over the years.

My fav 9/11 short.

@ldsabuse Maybe how the LDS power structure is no longer a church, but a fat finger in the glove of the gloibalist agenda. Morals? Who needs em when you've got the ten commandments of money printing at your disposal.

[Tony Jackson @RealTonyJackson]

@PlanetOfMemes Mormon fraud. @ldsabuse

@megbasham Wait till you find out what else they destroyed.
