Happy birthday to Stonewall Jackson.
Great Virginian and faithful deacon in the Southern Presbyterian Church.
“It has been tersely and truthfully and therefore beautifully said, that in the army he was the expression of his country’s confidence in God and in itself”
B. M. Palmer on Stonewall Jackson
I always heard about having a "personal quiet time" in the Bible & prayer from evangelical churches & college ministries.
But I never recall hearing about "family worship" until I heard Joel Beeke teach on it.
The radical individualism of the American church is staggering.
I love how politicians support overdevelopment in North Carolina while ignoring that the only people it benefits are transplants.
Overdevelopment has put a strain on our resources, eaten our green spaces, and increased our crime rates.
The only politicians who support it are the ones who don’t care about our state or our people.
“BOOM! LET’S STINKIN’ GO!! DAGGUMMIT!!!”
Can we start a petition to watch full Colts games with Philip Rivers mic’d up the entire time? This is electric!

John Adams said the American Revolution was founded on the general principles of Christianity and the general principles of English and American liberty. These are particular to a people, with no equivalents from other cultures. At the same time, there were Dutch, German, French, and other European settlers in the era, who became American based on their devotion to those principles. The truth seems to be both/and: Americans are a people, but a people who have created room for assimilation based on shared ideals.
But we should be honest, the people part does matter. Liberia was founded on the abstract principles listed above, but was not able to replicate America. Although it might be uncomfortable, it's not racism or discrimination to observe that descendants of the Mayflower are, at least in a qualified way, "more American" that a recent Somali migrant who doesn't speak English, practice Christianity, or believe in Anglo-American liberties. Most people consider it obvious.
@BleacherReport Most heartwarming NFL story of the league
The league should air all the games nationally and not make us pay for 4 obscure streaming services just to watch him play
At least 4 of the top contributors to the Westminster Confession of Faith would be excluded from ministry in the Reformed churches by some, and called non-reformed/arminian by others… 👀
Ashley Vaughan from NC Values recently hit the streets of Wilson, NC, to ask some honest, thought-provoking questions about HB805.
