What is the doctrine of election and why does it matter?

[Village Church RVA @VillageRVA]

Repentance is a gift God intends you to use for His glory.

Next week in Orlando, Southern Baptists will vote for a new SBC President, either @WillyRice or @JoshuaWPowell.

If you wonder what the differences are, here's a quick comparison.

Everyone should agree at 30,000 feet.

[Miles Smith IV @IVMiles]

This is actually correct. There is an establishmentarian principle that undergirds disestablishment. You have to have something that actually makes religious liberty work. It doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

[𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐭 @clbolt]

What is that point?

[𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐭 @clbolt]

The progressive nature of theology allows us to correct and develop older versions of both BFM and WCF, historically/culturally situated norms, and exemplary outliers in light of American ideals,but then at some point it becomes very difficult to differentiate from progressivism.

What job would you want if they all paid the same?

@tomascol Just tell her you don't.

Here's one of the ways "angry young men" waste their time and set themselves up for failure in the future.

Don't be a passive father - take action for your family!

Waiting for the world to applaud your ambition guarantees you'll never start.

[𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐭 @clbolt]

@alisa_childers lol Nicely done.

[𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐭 @clbolt]

@NickJHiggins @PerfInjust Looks like the makings of an argument for the intentional persecution of those following Christ. You agree with the abusers that this is a good thing. I'm not sure you've thought this through.

[𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐭 @clbolt]

@BrandonCorley99 So you're saying it's more like a world-and-life-view.

[𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐭 @clbolt]

Very interesting connections here between "free will," "religious liberty," and "soul competency."

[Gregory W. Mathis @GMathis89]

The irony of "Traditionalists" in the SBC is they (unwittingly?) align themselves at many points w/ Liberals.
The intersection is EY Mullins. Trads believe Mullins safeguarded a more anthropocentric approach to God via Soul Competency. For them, this keeps Calvinism at bay. But..

[Erik Reed @ErikReed]

Some of you are thriving: business growing, family expanding, doors opening. Others are in a heavy season: illness, grief, job loss, anxiety. Hebrews 12 speaks to both. Enjoy the blessings, but don’t worship them. Anchor your struggle, too, in the one kingdom that never shakes

I'm not PCA but I'm enjoying the show.

[Zachary Garris @ZacharyGarris]

A notable problem here is the PCA's Larger Catechism teaches that the magistrate is to “oppos[e] all false worship” and “remov[e] all monuments of idolatry” (WLC 108).

[Jon Harris 🌲 @jonharris1989]

“One excruciating problem faced by single women is caused by the unwritten rule of our society that allows men the freedom actively to pursue a marriage partner while women are considered loose if they actively pursue a prospective husband.

No biblical rule says that a woman eager to be married should be passive. There is nothing that prohibits her from actively seeking a suitable mate. On numerous occasions, I’ve had the task of counseling single women who insist at the beginning of the interview that they have no desire to be married, but simply want to work out the dimensions of the celibacy they believe God has imposed upon them.

After a few questions and answers, the scenario usually repeats itself: the young woman begins to weep and blurts out, “But I really want to get married.” When I suggest that there are wise steps that she can take to find a husband, her eyes light up in astonishment as if I had just given her permission to do the forbidden. I have broken a taboo.

Those seeking a life partner need to do certain obvious things such as going where other single people congregate. They need to be involved in activities that will bring them in close communication with other single Christians.”
