If there was any question whether the #SBC was shifting in its biblical convictions, that question was laid to rest today.

#SBC2026

[𝔹𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕪 ℝ𝕚𝕔𝕖 @TheBillyRice]

Just to let everyone know. The #SBC president is @WillyRice, not Billy... Please don't message me...

[Doug Ponder @dougponder]

The whole message was excellent, but the following clip is especially powerful.

If you’re in the SBC, give this a listen, then join me in giving Willy Rice your vote for president.

[Denny Burk @DennyBurk]

Okay, Southern Baptist messengers. It’s go time.

If you want to pass the Truth and Unity Amendment, you need to be in the room by 4:30pm for the committee on order of business report.

Vote “yes” to suspend standing rule 6 today so that you can vote “yes” on the Truth and Unity Amendment tomorrow morning.

See you there!

I don't think he appreciated it!

Storytime: I'm in my office today listening to @HwsEleutheroi when someone walks into the church... So, I quickly pause the video and get up to speak with them. Upon returning, I finally notice the facial expression of a "paused" Dr. White and it gave me quite the chuckle!

I know the spelling is different, but it’s still a neat find! @jdgreear @CrackerBarrel

@TomBuck Tom, I’ve been using 9Marks material for years and have had great encouragement by it. Can you point me to any recent articles/publications where woke ideology is being presented?

@DailyCatholicX @sola_chad Does God know exactly how many will go to heaven?

If God’s foreknowledge is perfect, then yes, He does. Not one more. Not one less.

The number is fixed. Otherwise, God would be wrong, or He doesn’t actually know.

[𝔹𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕪 ℝ𝕚𝕔𝕖 @TheBillyRice]

This is heartbreaking and evil. Wherever you stand politically, violence is never the solution.

Words Matter.

When narratives and news opinionists begin calling conservatives like Charlie Kirk a ‘Nazi’ or a ‘Fascist,' you inevitably move from disagreement to dehumanization. And when people are dehumanized, violence isn’t far behind.

Pray for @charliekirk11’s family, and for our nation’s brokenness. Repent of careless words.

Disagreement is inevitable. Hatred is not.

Lord, have mercy on us all.

[Brian Edwards @BrianEdwards__]

And tomorrow there will be no riots, no cities burning, no public outrage as the silent majority goes to work.
God help our sin sick nation.

[Pete Hegseth @PeteHegseth]

Well done, good and faithful servant.

[𝔹𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕪 ℝ𝕚𝕔𝕖 @TheBillyRice]

This was left on my porch yesterday. I love my church!

[𝔹𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕪 ℝ𝕚𝕔𝕖 @TheBillyRice]

Yes. This would be the logical conclusion.

Unless one were an open theist, which is the only logical solution to the contradiction of exhaustive divine foreknowledge and libertarian freedom.

If God perfectly foreknows all future choices, then those choices cannot be changed, unless God was wrong, which cannot be the case. The choices, then, are effectively fixed.

If we say, “God didn’t decree evil, didn’t cause it, just foresaw it and allowed it,” This sounds good emotionally—but it creates a logical tension: If God knew evil would happen and created anyway, how is He not still “responsible” in some way? Provisionism cannot answer this without contradicting itself and/or embracing some form of open theism.

“The American Public Is Tired of Being Called Racist—They’re No Longer Afraid”

For years, the word racist carried with it a social death sentence. The accusation—often leveled without nuance, evidence, or distinction—was enough to silence debate, destroy reputations, and leave people groveling for forgiveness over perceived slights. But something has shifted. The American public is growing weary. Not because they don’t care about actual racism—but because they’re tired of being bullied into silence by a label that’s been weaponized beyond recognition.

The Word That Lost Its Meaning

Racism, in its true form, is a grave moral evil. It should be confronted, condemned, and rooted out wherever it appears. But in recent years, the term has been stretched so far that it now often applies to anything—anything—that challenges progressive orthodoxy.

Disagree with open borders? Racist.

Believe in merit over quotas? Racist.

Want your kids to be taught reading and math instead of racial guilt? Racist.

The word has been so diluted by overuse that it no longer stops people in their tracks—it simply makes them roll their eyes.

Americans Know the Difference

Ordinary Americans—of all ethnic backgrounds—are not blind. They know the difference between real racism and political theater. They know that condemning looting isn’t racist. That quoting crime statistics isn’t racist. That voting for someone other than the approved candidate isn’t racist. They know that loving their country, honoring their heritage, and expressing concerns about cultural shifts doesn’t mean they harbor hatred for their neighbors.

They’re tired of walking on eggshells. Tired of being told that their silence is violence—but that their speech is worse.

Fear Is No Longer Working

The tactic used to be effective: smear someone as racist, and the crowd would scatter. But now, many are standing their ground. The cancel mob doesn’t scare them like it used to. The American people have begun to realize that if everything is racist, then nothing is. If the word is going to be used every time someone expresses a traditional or conservative viewpoint, it loses its power.

And frankly, many are done apologizing for things they didn’t do. They’re done being told that the color of their skin makes them inherently evil or privileged. They’re done accepting collective guilt for sins they never committed.

A Rebirth of Courage

What we’re witnessing is not a descent into bigotry, but a rebirth of courage. The courage to speak truth without fear. The courage to defend common sense. The courage to reject divisive identity politics and instead judge people—not by their group affiliation—but by the “content of their character.”

Americans still want justice. They still want equality. But they also want honesty. They want conversations, not accusations. They want a society that lifts people up, not one that tears them down in the name of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Conclusion: Respect Is a Two-Way Street

If everything is racist, then nothing is. If everyone is guilty, then no one is responsible. The American people are not perfect—but they are not the villains they are so often made out to be. They’re tired of being scolded. Tired of being silenced. And most of all, they’re tired of being afraid.

The sooner we move past the fearmongering and toward real conversations, the better off we’ll be. Respect is a two-way street—and it starts with retiring the cheap shots and listening to each other like fellow citizens, not enemies.

Truth is not racism. And the American public knows it.

Wow! I could get used to 55°F at night!

[Jay McHale @mchale_in_flow]

You sleep 7 hours in Japan and wake up energized and healthy.

In America, the same 7 hours leaves you exhausted and reaching for coffee. And no one talks about why.

Here are 7 differences in how Japanese people sleep:

1. Average bedroom temperature: 55°F vs American 68-72°F
