This was required reading at SBTS. Every preacher should take Gordon’s warnings. My favorite was something like - Johnny can’t preach because Johnny can’t read.

"Once Christ’s work was accomplished He entered His rest, and we must remember that Christ is God. Just as previous divine rests came after divine works, so with our Lord’s rest. There is a new covenant Sabbath rest, the foundation of which is the great redemptive work of Christ.

Both the initial rest of God and the rest of Canaan are creational and so is this one. This interpretation would paraphrase Hebrews 4:9–10 as follows: 'There remains a Sabbath-keeping for the people of God under the inaugurated new covenant in terms of a day of rest symbolizing the rest won for us by Christ and typifying the eternal rest of God to be enjoyed in the eternal state because Christ has rested from His works of accomplishing redemption and inaugurating a new creation via His resurrection.'"

"The White House ought to be primarily about democratic self-rule and dignity. Having this UFC event at the White House is not a great cultural step forward. I also do not see it as the end of civilization as we know it."

Given the incarnation, The Ministry literally cannot be virtual.

[Jeff Wiesner @JeffreyPWiesner]

Proposed: Shut-in ministry on the Lord’s Day is best accomplished by pastoral visitation and diaconate service, not live-feeds.

Live feeds actually atrophy rather than strengthen leadership and care by substituting this kind of service with a stream.

Former SB & IMB (then FMB) journeyman missionary & SBTS grad writing here. Left SBC in 2010 to become confessional RB, so I don't have a dog in this fight.

Interesting nonetheless to hear Mohler appeal to the 1689 as a standard:

"This motion... makes very clear that we affirm the historic Baptist understanding of the Pastor/Elder/Overseer. The structure of the language I have brought goes all the way back to the 1689 Baptist Confession, where the office and function of pastor are clearly delineated.... [These are] truths consistent with what we believe going all the way back to the 17th century. It is because we believe those Baptists got it right, according to Scripture."

Even with this amendment (should it pass), my guess is that there will be those who finds ways to get around it, if there is no corresponding expectation and enforcement of full subscription to BFM2000, much less the SBC constitution.

The issue is not really about women pastors (clearly, an unbiblical view), IMHO, but confessional subscription. The BFM2000 has holes so large that you could drive a truck through it. Still can't believe, for example, that it never defines the canon of Holy Scripture.

There is a better alternative: Full subscription to the 2LBCF (1689).

Another piece of interesting research on Saturday with my coffee!

Wherein the limiting principles of men, sharks, angels, and Dolezal’s philosophical inquiry are explored.

[Duff @dgh5391]

Dolezal speaks pointedly to the ever-increasingly popular "supernatural view" of Gen 6 and the Nephilim (and other important things). ✅👏🏼 @BrokenWharfe @IRBS_1689

[Andrew T. Walker @AndrewTWalker]

Dr. Mohler is right. It is time to move on from the excuse-making, the ahistorical arguments, the crafty titling maneuvers, the bad exegesis, the bureaucratic slog, and the bad legal arguments. Southern Baptists are clear on this and our leadership and committees need to reflect the clear majority will of the messengers.

Louisville’s @HeineBrosCoffee is notoriously woke. In your face.

Wasn’t always so. I used to love studying at the location on Brownsboro near the seminary.

They went off the rails in 2020 and never recovered.

Hope this @BoyceCollege student prevails.

While folks get bogged down in the details of Sabbath Keeping, it fundamentally comes down to 3 principles:
1) The Sabbath is on the First Day of the Week.
2) You are to rest in the Lord in worship.
3) You are not to make others work unnecessarily in order for you to rest.
