@SgtMyKneesHurt @farmingandJesus Step 1 - You out! Praise God for that. Now to pursue understanding the doctrines of Grace alongside your Bible before completely dismissing it

[Chanton Petersen @chanton2p]

@farmingandJesus You should engage with them and encourage them to leave as well and find a church that is Biblically sound

An Open Letter To Dr. Steve Lawson

Dr. Lawson, as I write these words, my heart is grieved, but my hope is steadfast. The recent news of your disqualification from ministry has left me, and many others, shaken. I’ve thought back often to the moments I’ve sat under your teachings. These are moments where your passion for the Word of God moved me deeply. I still remember weeping as you shared on my podcast the beauty of expository preaching. Your devotion to rightly dividing the Word of Truth has always been a source of great encouragement to me. We’ve met several times and even corresponded through email, and every interaction has only deepened my respect for your ministry.

This makes the current situation all the more heartbreaking. The Scripture is clear: “Be holy, for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16). For those entrusted with the preaching of God’s Word, the weight of that command cannot be overstated. And now, like King David, your actions have given the enemy reason to blaspheme (2 Samuel 12:14). Many Christian men, some of whom have been strengthened by your ministry, may now find themselves saying, “If Dr. Lawson can’t make it, what hope is there for me?”

But I want to remind you of the very message you have faithfully preached for decades. The Law of God reveals our sin. It shows us how utterly incapable we are of living up to His holy standards. But this same Law drives us to the cross, where the Gospel shines brightest.

Jesus Christ has fulfilled the Law for us. “For our sake, He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). Even now, that Gospel remains true. You may be disqualified from formal ministry, but you are not disqualified from God’s grace.

“Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more” (Romans 5:20). That grace is available to you now, but it calls for genuine, heartfelt repentance. “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6).

Though I know the weight of sin is something you feel deeply, I want to stand alongside you in pointing back to the cross. It’s the very hope you’ve proclaimed so faithfully. This is a time to come before God in humility, acknowledging the gravity of your sin and seeking the only One who can heal and restore.

I urge you to reflect on what you taught so many others: the truth of repentance and the transforming power of the Gospel. You have always emphasized the sovereignty of God, and now is the time to submit fully to that sovereignty in your life. As Charles Spurgeon once said, “I have learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the Rock of Ages.” This is your wave, Dr. Lawson, and I pray you will cling to Christ, the Rock of Ages, in this season of brokenness.

I think, too, of the Puritan Thomas Watson, who wisely said, “Till sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet.” This is a bitter moment for you, but it can also be a time where the sweetness of Christ’s grace is made even more real. His grace is deeper than your sin, and His mercy is more powerful than your failure. Psalm 51:17 tells us that “the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.”

For those Christian men who are now discouraged, tempted to believe that if you couldn’t stand, they have no hope, I say: Do not place your faith in men. Place your faith in Christ, who alone is faithful. Men will fail. I will fail. You have failed. But Christ never fails. “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” (Hebrews 10:23). You still have an opportunity, even in this painful season, to point people back to the only One who never disappoints.

As Martin Luther wrote, “I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.” This is a moment to place everything in God's hands—your ministry, your future, your reputation. Now is the time to do it anew, with deeper humility and repentence. The world is watching, and your response to this fall can either point them toward Christ or turn them away. My prayer is that your repentance will be as public as your fall, showing the world that God’s grace truly is greater than all our sin.

Dr. Lawson, I don’t say this lightly, but I believe this moment is not the end for you. It is a turning point. John Owen once wrote, “Be killing sin, or it will be killing you.” The battle against sin is lifelong, but the Gospel is still the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16). This season of discipline, if born with repentance and humility, can be used by God for His glory and the good of others.

I leave you with this final thought from John Bunyan: “No child of God sins to that degree as to make himself incapable of forgiveness.” God’s grace is still available to you, and I pray you will embrace it, not to restore your platform, but to find restoration in Christ. Your influence may take on a different shape now, but the message you’ve preached all your life remains true: CHRIST IS ENOUGH!

Dr. Lawson, now is the time to live out the very truth you've so powerfully declared.

Fall at the feet of Christ in this dark hour and rise again, not to a stage, but to His grace.

Know that I am praying for you and your family, and my hope is that this season of brokenness will ultimately testify to the power of God’s redeeming grace.

In Christ’s service,
Mark Spence

Do you know John Adams? He was second President of USA. He said something very interesting: "Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."

If your commitment to the authority of Scripture is limited by cultural sensitivities then it’s not really Scripture’s authority to which you are committed.

@geordinhl @CityofCT Whilst you add it, ever thought of eliminate cars, except deliver vehicles away from the city and surrounds in favour of a Tram system akin to those in Switzerland?

[Chanton Petersen @chanton2p]

@geordinhl Great work bud. Pls ensure to include actual commuters in your working committee, so that the decisions are actually influenced by those who uses the trains daily as to what it should look like, and not just those high up in the echelons who will never make use of such.

I lost my job speaking out against the dangerous COVID-19 policies perpetuated by the government.

It appears I will now also lose my freedom for saying that exact thing.

This fight was never fair, but I do not regret speaking out to save lives.
