@CrenshawPhD Also, the Christian Life Commission will be releasing several new resources early next year on technology and will include sections on AI.
@CrenshawPhD I’ve been focused on this issue for several years now- and currently serving as chair for a newly created commission on faith and technology for the Baptist World Alliance. This commission is a global body and we will be working on this topic in the coming years.
Congratulations to @AngelaPaxtonTX, @leachfortexas, on the passage of SB 835, "Trey's Law"! Thank you to the survivors sexual abuse and their families who raised their voices and advocated for this important bill limiting use of NDA's. @TexasBaptists and @TxCLC supported it.
POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT FOR PASTORS:
There’s a video going around of pastors worshipping @ the White House. Predictably, there are all sorts of responses.
I’m not an expert on this, BUT have followed a true MASTER in this area for 17 years.
Here’s what I’ve learned from him:
My team representing @TexasBaptists@TxCLC was proud to support this important bill and thankful to @leachfortexas for his leadership.
@JohnLitzler already visited with Senator Paxton’s office to let her know we support the senate bill as well.
At least two Texas House Republicans told @quorumreport that influential Baptist leaders in Houston - one in particular - might be working to tank the proposal to prohibit use of NDAs in child sex abuse cases by asserting influence in the Texas Senate #TxLege
I agree. This is definitely a big deal. Our call to Texas lawmakers is that we should fully fund the cost to install air conditioning and heat in all Texas prisons now, in the 89th #txlege budget, prior to TDCJ being ordered to install heat and a/c by the courts.
The @TxCLC is glad to support Senate Bill 31 and House Bill 44, the #txlege "Life of the Mother Act." It's designed to give clarity to doctors and hospitals about Texas' exception to the state abortion ban. SB 31 will be heard in the Senate State Affairs committee this morning.
@cameronlcrow@bartbarber@ChickfilA@Cardinals Did ChatGPT help write that comeback? 🤣
But seriously- thank you! I actually just stopped for Kolaches again last night coming home from Austin and now I’m feeling a bit more conscious of my kolache consumption.
The @TxCLC has been following this case closely and this is a great development.
Our team continues to advocate for true justice and pro life policies, and this action by the Texas Supreme Court is both.
Texas should never execute someone if it is possible no crime ever occurred.
That is exactly what is scheduled to happen in 8 days.
Proud to stand with a majority of my #Txlege House colleagues in requesting clemency for #RobertRoberson so courts can consider new evidence.
🎙️In our conversation with @KFruge she opens up about overcoming immense challenges—including high-risk pregnancies & two cancer diagnoses.
Her story is a testament to God's faithfulness and the power of encouragement from others. 🙏
