We are not the apostolic church because we think we are smarter than Augustine and Aquinas, Luther and Calvin.
We are apostolic because we believe no matter what they say, truth is ultimately found within Scripture.

“In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
…
His truth is marching on!”

Reread Rev. 13 this morning and am struck by the connection to Lewis's "That Hideous Strength", though I didn't see it when I first read the novel.
Lewis is exactly right. The beast's reign is implemented by extreme liberal humanism, but will be deeply satanic at the core.

When we have the guiding light of the Word of God (Ps 119:105) written in our hearts, we begin to exude the luminescence of His glory; and we become the actualized manifestation of the Lamp directing the lost to Jesus!

There’s no excuse for the Christian to refuse his privilege to pray.

[Tony Mansinho @tmansinho]

Prayer is good; but when used as a substitute for obedience, it is nothing but a blatant hypocrisy.

“Joy is not a substitute for sex. Sex is very often a substitute for joy.” - CS Lewis (Surprised by Joy)
Common thought is to drink, sleep, and/or smoke your way out of disparity.
Truly the only solution to the troubles of life is not distraction, but Joy.

Today has to be one of the most productive days in American history.
There are so many things I wish I could say, but most succinctly I must say:
God bless the USA.

Growing up hearing my father and grandfather preach both:
1. What the Word of God says
2. What it does not say has
has made all of the difference in my life.

Thank you ⁦@washingtonpost⁩ for writing such a wonderful pro-life article!
And thank the Lord for the new legislation in Texas that saved the lives of these babies! https://t.co/TkxWf2uY0m

“God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts”

Am I pointing others to simply an experience or to a Person?

[Jordan Blake @jordnblake_]

Our Christian identity cannot be found in the pursuit of personal uniqueness, but should be found in our Lord Jesus Christ.

It rains on the just and the unjust, but the justified have a boat—The hope of glory and precious salvation!

[Jordan Blake @jordnblake_]

If you think that the Apostles believed in “sola fide” I’d advise you to read James 2.
Faith alone cannot save you! You must be obedient to the Word of God!

[Jordan Blake @jordnblake_]

An arbitrary sign is a weak sign. The initial sign of the Holy Spirit is undeniable!

[Jordan Blake @jordnblake_]

If you can’t get your mind wrapped around a passage because of how it conflicts with your systematic theology, it’s probably because your theology is wrong.

[Jordan Blake @jordnblake_]

Many ancient Jews denied the Lord Jesus because He did not align with they thought of who the Messiah would be.
—
In all of our attempts to understand and develop doctrines we must never let our own ideologies keep us from truth.

“A king’s table is a noble hiding place for lame legs, and at the gospel feast we learn to glory in infirmities, because the power of Christ resteth upon us.”
- Charles Spurgeon

[Jordan Blake @jordnblake_]

Of course, God’s salvation is not only offered to the predestined eject. All people everywhere can find salvation and make it if they just take hold of what God has given.

[Jordan Blake @jordnblake_]

God would have never saved you if you had no chance of making it in the end!

Dig your feet in and stand a little stronger for just a little longer.
