@martensmatt1 This appears perilously close to “let’s just sing louder”. People want insight and biblical application from their shepherds. I agree with Graham.
Heartbroken over Charlie Kirk.
May his blood, like Abel’s of old, cry out to God & cause revival & awakening to spring forth on every college campus in America. A generation of young people rushing to Jesus & the Cross. That would be the greatest response to the devil & his crew
@charisma_news If BL is indeed “light”breaking through into dark places then PTL. No hate from me. But sadly, in too many instances we have watched this scenario unfold differently with others. That’s not a “religious” accusation, but merely an appropriate spiritual concern.
I know he was baptized in water as of late with a clear testimony. Glad this 1980’s icon got it right. Sad to see him go, but glad to hear his faith was clear at the finish line.
@DavidAFrench David, you are smarter than this. The discussion for most is not about “discrimination”, but rather high profile Christian celebrities platforming and influencing that which God clearly forbids. It’s about promoting sin under the guise of normalcy.
@elonmusk Respect you Elon, but this party will never fly without a major migration of evangelicals to this movement. To actually be successful you need to factor in this group and how you plan to talk to their comprehensive worldview.
@MikeWingerii “Prosperity preacher” is meaningless without careful definition. It is usually an ambiguous epithet used to avoid a valid biblical precept.
Should we reject raises, bonuses, or promotions? Maybe we should divest of all investments? This imprecision is hard to take seriously.
@JustinPetersMin Well, I’m sure the Lord will now pause His final reckoning on JS and wait with anticipation to see your thorough judgment of the man on social media.
Whether your research is right, complete, or actually unbiased, there is something wrong with doing your hit piece at this moment.
If you are going to be a cessationist theological warrior on X, & dish out the criticism & call continuationist groups heretics; then you need to be tough enough to take the blow back. You aren’t the only ones who have read the entire Bible and actually “get it”.
@MattWalshBlog So much you offer I agree with, but the one caveat for me is “Nuclear weapon”. There isn’t much space for diplomatic mistake when a nuke is the repercussion.
I’m no teetotaler, and I am all for Christian liberty, but there’s a kind of “whiskey culture” in Reformed Christian circles that’s worth possible caution, I think.
We mustn't draw lines not drawn by Scripture. Yet, great wisdom and discretion is needed—especially by church elders—lest weaker saints are made to stumble, or any aspersions be cast upon our “above-reproach-ness.”
“An elder must be…above reproach…not a drunkard.”
This may seem like a blinding flash of the obvious, but if you deny the literal bodily resurrection of Jesus, you have denied the Gospel & are not a Christian. Romans 10:9-10 & I Corinthians 15 are not that complicated to interpret.
The FSU shooting is horrific & tragic. Kids, even adult ones, should always feel safe. But before we opine & politically pontificate on our policy soapboxes can we just take a moment to grieve with those who grieve & hug our family & friends?
