A flawed man. A proud father. A grateful husband. A devoted pastor… seeking to promote health and integrity in the church.

@drantbradley So much for the population bomb theory (birth rates are falling in almost every nation on the Earth)

[Daryl Madi @dmadi]

@drantbradley I think we could also say that we don’t fully understand what the NT is saying about personal morality and society unless we have a firm grasp on what the OT says about both.

[Daryl Madi @dmadi]

@drantbradley Indeed… was at the Mizzou v. Carolina game (youngest son just started there). The picture says it all.

For your consideration... regarding the events of the past week. https://t.co/miTDMMvycY

@drantbradley I knew things like this were out there but… wow. Social media really brings out the sociopathic tendencies in some.

[Daryl Madi @dmadi]

@jp_aidev @DanDicksPFT Wow… yours is the revisionist approach. The founders… not all orthodox Xians… sought to prevent merging of church & state as institutions… not seeking to insulate government from Xian ideas. It was a way to protect the church from the government… not the other way around.

[Daryl Madi @dmadi]

@drantbradley @edeweysmith Amen. And I believe the shift in methodology comes from an unstated… perhaps subconscious… shift in goal. From ministry/discipleship to influence/celebrity. Not good.

This is an important and substantive conversation we are having in the PCA. So glad for George Robertson's disposition... even if I don't agree.

To those in the PCA and Reformed Church world... for your consideration: https://t.co/7I5I0Oo2xK

@drantbradley We continue to be a real mess.

[Daryl Madi @dmadi]

@drantbradley That being said, while church courts are the right place for such things, my experience is that presbyteries lack courage in pulling the levers when it comes to scandal. This results in injustice and corruption, making many reluctant to go down that path.

After watching the panel on Church Health at the 2024 EPC GA, I felt the need to shed more light on things: https://t.co/nVm7qCl48H

[Daryl Madi @dmadi]

Some "inside baseball" for those in the EPC and PCA... but sharing my deep concern for not only what denominations decide to do, but how they decide to do it.

Its been awhile since I last posted on the blog and thought long and hard about this one. I hope you will read it for what is intended... a call to look beyond our hurts and find healing in granting forgiveness. https://t.co/hVemmwET8B

@PCAByFaith Sad news indeed. His life and ministry helped shape the PCA in ways not readily visible but undeniable… much like a steel support beam running the length of a house. It doesn’t get prominently displayed for guests to see, but nothing wound be the same without it.

[Daryl Madi @dmadi]

@carrifex Yes! Forever remember the one where grandma dies. “Camp town races sing this song….” Thank God for the Lutherans!

@robbiegriggs The question of consciousness is a perplexing one. What is it? Is it just a complex structure of neurons firing? If so, why can’t a machine be conscious? If not… well… then we drift into metaphysics. And who wants that!?!

[Daryl Madi @dmadi]

@drantbradley It brings this violence home so powerfully to know so many touched by this. Kept me awake a good part of the night thinking about that colleague… the impossible call to forgiveness… the desperate need for the hope of the resurrection.

shepherding, guidance, not domineering/leading through fear, humble, hospitable) not the other way around. When institutional success is your highest goal, you will crush people, not comfort them. 2/2

Controversial thought of the day: If you have been called to the role of Pastor, you should not be first and foremost an ‘organizational leader.’ Organization serves the purposes of pastoring, (1 Pet. 5:1-3, Tit. 1:5-9: 1/2
