@TracyCastelli Classic indeed!

[Tom Ascol @tomascol @tomascol]

This is an excellent explanation of the ideological forces at work trying to destroy western civilization & the USA in particular. Do yourself (& your children) a favor & spend 15 minutes getting a succinct lesson in what we are up against.

UNDERSTANDING COMMUNISM

With the sudden advance of communism in this country, we made this (absurdly expensive) video short to help you understand what Marxism/communism/socialism are.

I hope you find it helpful.

[Tom Ascol @tomascol @tomascol]

@megbasham No doubt about that, & your book stands as the great expose of the unrighteous antics of French & friends. DR provides an effective, supplemental Ted Talk to help folks remember & inform those just waking up.

[Tom Ascol @tomascol @tomascol]

This is going to leave a mark. As well it should.

Now, would be a great moment to have in place a disaster relief organization to help the people of Venezuela. We once had one -- USAID -- but Trump destroyed it.

So grateful for Chris & the other serious-minded students of @FoundersSem! Pray for him & for all of us involved in this challenging work!

Meet the Students: Christopher Riggs

Christopher Riggs is part of the inaugural class of Founders Seminary and is originally from Columbus, Ohio, his decision to attend Founders Seminary was largely shaped by the vision of the founding faculty and how their lives and ministries embody the seminary’s vision of “sharp minds, warm hearts, and steel spines.”

“Founders Seminary has already greatly helped prepare me for ministry by approaching every subject with a pastoral focus,” he shared. “The professors here consistently train us to think carefully about applying what we learn to the life of the church, should the Lord call us to pastoral service.”

Chris and his wife, Tina, have four children and enjoy travelling, specifically back to the Midwest to visit family and cheer on the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Me when a church says they aren’t meeting on the Lord’s Day so that their members “can actually practice the sabbath.”

[Tom Ascol @tomascol @tomascol]

This looks stellar. I’m excited about this new company. Keep Watch!

[Keep Watch @KeepWatchCo]

The first Knox orders are arriving!

Months ago, the Knox existed only as an idea. Today, it’s beginning to arrive on the wrists of men who share a desire to live with greater watchfulness, conviction, and intentionality.

We didn’t start Keep Watch simply to make watches. We started it to create meaningful timepieces that point us to make the best use of the time, be watchful, and live faithfully in every season of life.

Inspired by the life of Scottish reformer John Knox, the Knox is the first watch in that mission.

Only 100 will ever be made.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us from the beginning. We’re grateful to have you on this journey with us.

Keep Watch!

When Mark Coppenger writes, I read. His assessment of what has happened in the fall of NYC is insightful, as always. It's also a sober warning to the rest of the USA.

[Christ Over All @Christ_OverAll]

“It seems that ‘The City that Never Sleeps’ has fallen asleep at the wheel.”

Mark Coppenger identifies seven cultural forces that, taken together, made New York's present course all but inevitable.

What does the President of the Southern Baptist Convention think about "Loser Theology"?

"This is the corrective call we need to the misguided counsel that celebrates the demise of cultural Christianity while we whisper about truths that demand to be proclaimed with boldness." — Willy Rice

Excellent.

[Michael Clary @dmichaelclary]

For my piece in @BaptistLeaders, I talk a lot of coalition building.

Many of the reform-minded folks in the SBC have sometimes operated in silos, missing opportunities to build together.

The way I see it, there are three broad coalitions in the SBC:

1. The Status Quo Coalition
2. The Conservative Reformer Coalition
3. The Normie Majority Coalition

There are five additional "families" that operate under these coalitions. I break them all down in this piece with a recommendation for how conservative reform minded baptists can form alliances.

Gun laws keep people safe. This ruling by Trump’s Supreme Court will only endanger people.

If Justice Alito really thinks people need guns to go to the grocery store “for self-defense,” this country is truly broken.

B.H. Carroll on 1 Timothy 2:9:
“The custom in some congregations of having a woman as pastor is in flat contradiction to this apostolic teaching & is open rebellion against Christ our king, & high treason against his sovereignty, & against nature as well as grace. It unsexes both the woman who usurps this authority & the men who submit to it. Under no circumstance conceivable is it justifiable.”
