My constituents told me to vote no on the $1.3 billion VW project ($400 million of which is taxpayer cash). But the swamp wants me to ignore those “back home.”
I’ll always listen to my constituents far more than lobbyists, big corps, other legislators, or unelected bureaucrats.
@kpaulgrant0125 Kyle, you’ve always been a modern Martin Luther to me 💪🏻
(I kid 🤣. I agree with your tweet. Let’s lay off the comps. Let each man be his own man.)
@bryansamms Dave Norris! We miss that man here in Palm Bay! What a blessing he was to us when he lived here. Happy to see him connected with your church now.
Going unpack my concern abt this & doing so because I love pastors & congregations. I’m not subtweeting anything. I teach seminary so helping men prepare for the pastorate is part of my life. I’ve counseled too many pastors/churches in conflict & would like to see less of it. /1
@ScottAniol You may have facial hair and glasses now but the Scott on the left will be the one I’ll always remember as he was running around on the stage for VBS in New Hampshire
If you claim that God told you something by a thought that came into your mind, you’re claiming you received special revelation from God. Saying, “He didn’t speak to me in an audible voice” doesn’t change that fact.
Not all division is unbiblical and not all appearances of unity are biblical.
Factions that arise as a result of standing for truth are necessary for biblical unity. (1 Cor 11:19)
Abandoning biblical truth as a means to have “unity” is not the unity Jesus prayed for! (John 17)
@TomBuck Many church’s have constitutions which allow for the “senior pastor” to hire his own pastoral team (no vote from the congregation needed). I disagree with that practice and wonder if it’s created many problems just like the one you’re alluding to here.
Try the #JoeBidenEyeChallenge … I could only do this without blinking for 8 seconds. My wife did it for 24 seconds but not without her eyes watering a lot.
Expository preaching that does not equip the people of God to face the ideologies that are confronting them is preaching that falls short. Expository preaching that applies to the current cultural moment is always what is needed.
@TAOvermiller “An expository sermon is one that expounds a passage of Scripture, organizes it around a central theme and main points, and then decisively applies its message to the listeners.” Jerry Vines,
@TAOvermiller “[A sermon]should spring out of the text as a rule, and the more evidently it does so the better … [it] comes with far greater power to the consciences of the hearers when it is plainly the very word of God not a lecture about the Scripture, but Scripture itself… enforced.” CHS
@TAOvermiller “[Expostory p.] is communication of a biblical concept, derived from and transmitted through a historical, grammatical, and literary study …which the Holy Spirit first applies to the personality and experience of the preacher, then through him to his hearers.” Haddon W. Robinson
