Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead. But to him who is joined to all the living there is hope. ECC. 9:3
The #PCAGA had strong words against “performative masculinity” and took a strong stance against “divergent tones” in Reformed Christian Politics but did nothing to deal with the issue of Functional Female Officers in the PCA.
I’ve been thinking about the framing of this article about the SBC in Mother Jones.
“The Southern Baptist Convention Was Going Mainstream”
When a leftist secular magazine describes your trajectory over the last fifteen years as “going mainstream,” that’s another way of saying “going worldly.”
The world has indeed been watching, and they saw the SBC becoming more like them through soft wokeness, the faux-abuse crisis, and the push for female pastors.
Statements like that put the lie to the notion that “There’s no liberal drift in the SBC.”
Mother Jones thought there was.
They saw the direction that Respectables and Moderates like Moore, Greear, Litton, Iorg, and the Platform were steering the SBC: Onward into Mainstream Worldliness.
And they recognize that those raising the alarm for the last decade (like @BaptistLeaders and @Christ_OverAll) have won some significant victories in recent years that have arrested the slide into “mainstream.”
It’s a good reminder of the state of play.
And it’s a good reminder to not let up.
The World certainly won’t.
Victories are transient.
Vigilance is necessary.
Pursuit is essential.
Pray that the SBC (and the PCA) remember that.
Soli Deo Gloria.
I’m incredibly grateful for my time as editor of American Reformer and proud of what we’ve built.
Over the past three years we’ve increased our readership and reach but more importantly, we’ve given rising Protestant voices a place to develop and influence discussions on the right.
I’m grateful to @NateAFischer and @Byzness for the opportunity to lead an incredible team and for the intellectual home AR has provided. I’m excited to see how @DDFStrand builds on we’ve started and takes it further. American Reformer is in good hands.
Many thanks to @tlloydcline for his editorial leadership at American Reformer.
Welcome to @DDFStrand! I’m looking forward to working together to advance a positive Christian vision for America.
This is such an insane and Critical Race Theory-terminology laden clip that Keller’s defenders have no honest answer to it.
I mean, talking about “white skin” as an “asset” is pure CRT-driven drivel
And the fact that Keller thought he could utter these hateful words against White Americans so freely—and honestly expected to be applauded for it—shows just how infected he was with the sickness of unbiblical Marxist ideology
@collinhansen We can also listen to him in his own words.
Do you repudiate his unbiblical and frankly sinful race-based blood guilt against White people?

Encouraging to see the growing interest in RidgeRunner.
It’s clear the concept reflects a positive vision for rural development that resonates with many Americans.

Shame on @AJWTheology for sharing this reprehensible drivel from Kevin Williamson at the Dispatch attacking JD Vance and Vance’s faith.
But this is what you get from a TGC acolyte and Tim Keller Center fellow. Truly, par for the course.
Planning a very epic pride month protest in middle Tennessee 10 days from now.
Please like & share to get the word out.
We are attempting to get, & praying for 300 men.
If you’re interested, comment below or DM me.
Please come and bring as many men as you can.
Baptists like Dr. Hart regularly argue that Christian establishment and cultural Christianity promotes nominalism and makes evangelism harder.
Here's how I've responded to that argument elsewhere:
