Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

In Justin Taylor’s CT feature in January he wrote: “At the age of 80, Piper works full-time from his home office, answering questions about the Bible and the Christian life through the Ask Pastor John podcast (400 million episode plays over the past 13 years) and through his verse-by-verse video series, Look at the Book (over 1,300 videos so far), with a life goal of working through all the Pauline letters.” Life goal accomplished! Pastor John wrapped up all 13 of Paul’s epistles THIS MORNING by wrapping up Romans. The Romans stats alone: 102 weeks, 403 videos. All to cap what he predicted to be a 10-year project wrapped up in 7. A celebration of God’s sustaining grace in years of slow, steady, verse-by-verse labor in the Bible. And a beautiful testament to big goals.

In 1913 Bavinck said that families were too busy to catechize. Maybe people have always been busy but we have to make time for what really matters?

@Phil_Johnson_ When a began handwriting sermon manuscripts it was game changer, even when it came to the act of preaching. I could almost tell what page every phrase was on so I was able to be less tied to my manuscript and the message was more embedded in me. Much thanks to @thekrak3n

Yesterday, @AlphaNews posted a video of an individual who, along with several others, harasses our church every Sunday. (I am not reposting the video because of its obscenity.) By their own admissions, as captured on video, these agitators are deliberately targeting families and children. It is a coordinated effort to desecrate our Sunday mornings.

St. Paul officials are doing nothing to stop it, and the City Attorney will not respond to my emails. We are simply asking for equal protection under the law.

To the broken, to the lost, to the undeserving, there’s hope In Jesus. Repent and believe in The Gospel(Good News).

“But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.”
Isaiah 53:5-6

I'm going to keep posting this Alstair Begg clip "The Man on the Middle Cross" (less than four minutes in length) every Holy Week, because its message is true in 2026, it will be true in 2036 and it will be true in 3036.

"If i take my eyes off the cross, I can then give only lip service to its efficacy while at the same time living as if my salvation depends upon me.

And as soon as you go there it will lead you either to abject despair or a horrible kind of arrogance.

And it is only the cross of Christ that deals both with the dreadful depths of despair and the pretentious arrogance of the pride of man that says you know, I can figure this out."

@LexhamPress These look fantastic!

“The blood of the Lamb silences the accuser!” One of my all-time favorite lines from D. A. Carson. 🩸🐑🤫

I’ve watched this 100x and it never gets old.
