@metzgerphil @RealJackHibbs Isegesis is a dangerous game, especially for a leader with @RealJackHibbs broad influence. Mutilating scripture to foment political zealotry vs. careful exegesis. Jack’s needs more Bereans in his circle.

@dustinkensrue I always viewed it more as a curated collection of thoughts than an album with a unified theme. It’s not like the songs have zero correlation, but I took the album’s eclecticism as a conceptual approach. But you know, whatever.

@TGC @BrianBrodersen @SamAllberry Great thinking here. Compassionate and challenging. “if being faithful to Jesus for some of us might mean that we don’t ever get married, if our churches genuinely are places of community, we will be showing the world that a life of singleness is not a life without love.”

@akela_lacy Heartless talking heads speaking from a vacuum of empathy. Plus, relief funds ≠ altruism: whether spent on “legitimate” needs, put in banks, or spent on emotional relief (vacays, non-essential goods), that money flows to the economy, greases the gears, wards against collapse.

Without hope, we’re stuck in our circumstances and can’t see our way out of the darkness... Real hope is a new heart with Jesus at the center bringing us new wisdom, a new community, and new life. Enjoy Advent Week 1: The Thrill of Hope: https://t.co/vEaa0THe6p

This! Thank you @JohnPiper for a Biblical articulation of a continued blemish on the character of the true Church and the true Savior. This is a relief to read.

I haven't seen a lot of negative criticism with the last article that came out a few weeks ago. Here's a thought: when someone uses biblical justice to critique the ideologies of both the political Right and Left, they are often assumed to be centrist or a moderate who is 1/6

@realDonaldTrump gassing demonstrators to go to a church and pose with a Bible is equivalent to apostles arguing over greatness after Jesus washes their feet. #john13v14

@DavidDark “Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6 ESV No “useful” opinions here, it says what it says.

[George Scanlan @georgescanlan]

So good. Applicable to pastors, authors, communicators in general.

I keep trying to drill this into our ThM students @WesternSeminary. It is not merely about having ideas, but communicating them compellingly.

@dustinkensrue @JonathanMerritt Apologies, I was mistaken and my response was too hasty. You, sir, are right.
