Trying to speak the language of God's love

@danwhitejr Require Spiritual Direction. Encourage Rule of Life and Spiritual Formation.

@howertonjosh This mostly demonstrates you have no relationship to people in poverty.

TK’s critics accuse him of being a culturalist, but he’s most known for teaching the Gospel. Meanwhile his critics style themselves to be more biblical, but are most known for their takes on culture.

@clbolt Nice. A spot on critique of your Christian Nationalist friends.

[Jay O'Brien @jaypobrien]

@clbolt Nah. Twitter pastor critics should stay away from the pastorate. They’d do more harm than good. Best to just vent on here in their echo chamber.

@DennyBurk I thought this Superman was fantastic. Here's a video describing the difference between Gunn's and Snyder's Superman. https://t.co/uHKbO4dwyx

@drantbradley While this has been the experience of many this has not been the experience of my family. We intentionally sought out like minded coaches/families who prioritized practice, limited the season to a shorter span, encouraged playing other sports and didn’t travel much out of town.

@Pastor_Gabe @iheartJ37 You have this flipped. The context for 1 Timothy 2 is not gathered worship. The context of 1 Cor 11 is clearly about gathered worship. See the reference in 11:16. Also, the admonition is followed by instructions on the Lord’s Super.

@JonnyRoot_ I have. Changed my view on the issue because of solid exegesis. Same with Genesis 1, the rapture, and a number of other topics where my view changed because of Scripture.

@jchasedavis If you criticize Jen Wilkin but not Paula White, you might be a political hack.

@ostrachan Most are not in denominations where they must submit to a bishop or governance outside of themselves. If hierarchy is so important, why not submit?
4. They downplay the biblical trends that undermine human hierarchy. Such as primogeniture, treatment of slaves, and women.

[Jay O'Brien @jaypobrien]

@ostrachan 1. They exclude all dissenting opinions on these matters. They are removed from fellowship.
2. They resort to mockery and name calling which recruits the weak into their ranks.
3. They follow a hierarchy where they are always in church…

@RevivedThoughts They're not trying to persuade. They're trying to fit in with their buddies. Think middle school boy behavior not adults.

Expecting Zelenskyy to gravel or dance, after a long series of attacks from Trump, and Vance requires a fundamental misunderstanding of him, and of the virtue of courage. My thoughts.

[H.R. McMaster @LTGHRMcMaster]

It is impossible to understand why President Trump and Vice President Vance seem determined to put more pressure on President Zelensky while they seem to be coddling Putin - the person who inflicted this terrible war in Ukraine.

...I heard a positive vision of God's grace and love. That's when the Word and Spirit became active in my life. This has shaped how I parent and pastor.

[Jay O'Brien @jaypobrien]

Growing up, athletics played a more formative role in my life than church youth group. I found youth group to be lame, controlling, and overly critical of the "world." Mix in weird satanic panic and Christian music and it just wasn't for me. When I was in college...

@pastoremase … and now your courage to press on amidst godless slander from people who are supposed to be brothers and sisters in the faith teaches me perseverance. There are many like me who have blessed by your work in ways you may never know. Thank you

[Jay O'Brien @jaypobrien]

@pastoremase Dr Eric thank you for your years of faithful pastoral leadership. When I was a seminary student at DTS your lecture at chapel helped in encourage me into church planting. When I was a resident at Fellowship Associates you talked about prioritizing your family in ministry….
