I had a pastor tell me a few weeks ago that religion has no place in politics.
I replied, “I realize you may not respect me or agree with me. No problem. Do you respect Charles Spurgeon?”
He responded, “Oh yes. I quote him in my sermons all the time!”
I sent him this Spurgeon quote for his next sermon:
“I often hear it said, ‘Do not bring religion into politics.’ This is precisely where it ought to be brought, and set there in the face of all men as on a candlestick.”
It’s wild that people still use the line “her own body” like the baby doesn’t exist.
Dude, if it was truly “her own body” she wouldn’t be pregnant in the first place..
Abortion is so unthinkably evil that to support it they have to lie to themselves about the baby they kill.
David French declares "I'm just really not willing to say that James Talarico is not a Christian. I'm just not going to do it" -- less than a second after he is reminded that Talarico believes that all religions contain the same truth as Christianity, thus denying the central Christian tenet of the exclusivity of Jesus Christ.
“I’m not the same player I used to be. That’s why. I’m not the J.I. I used to be. The old J.I. is dead. I’m alive in Christ no matter what the basketball setting is.” -Jaden Ivey on his DNP

James Talarico... you can't love your neighbors and abort them. If you wouldn't want to be poisoned and dismembered, then why do you support that option for babies?
You cannot love your neighbors and support the destruction of their bodies via wrong sex hormones, puberty blockers, and double mastectomies.
The gender-deceived kid who was illegally rendered permanently sterile is your neighbor.
You can't love your neighbor and support the infiltration of illegal foreign criminals who will kill
them. Jocelyn Nungary, a teen who was murdered by two illegals in Houston, was your neighbor.
You can't love your neighbor and call for the abolition of prisons, which you have, James Tallarico. Jacqueline Wilson was a Houston mom of four, 32 years old. She was reportedly murdered by her ex-boyfriend who was released from prison by a progressive judge despite being a violent offender. She was your neighbor.
You can't love your neighbor and deny the gospel that saves their souls as you have so many times when you've asserted that all religions point to the same truth that Jesus
points to.
You can't love your neighbor and support the chaos that kills them. You can't love your neighbor and lie to them. You can't love your neighbor and affirm sin. You can't love your neighbor while hating the things that God hates and loving the things that satan loves and you do.
You are an insult to Christianity. Your beliefs are an affront to the Imago Dei and I look forward to Texans showing you out of politics in November and hopefully you are shown out of the pulpit as well.
"And so it is with homosexuality and transgenderism. These are not issues about which otherwise faithful Christians may agree to disagree." — @DennyBurk https://t.co/8CxVGeRiiH
If you’ve ever wondered why progressives (media, higher ed, the arts, etc) hate and target Bible-believing Christians so much, this is why.
They (we) are literally the only group left in America holding back a tidal wave of evil they’re seeking to legislate and advance.
Remove evangelical Christians (or just get them to sit out elections / think “eh, the gospel is neither right nor left, doesn’t matter”), and the United States becomes Portland or Canada in one generation.
And that would be the (tragic) cultural inheritance we pass down to the future Church and our grandchildren… to our shame.
@HolyPost_Media You may as well come out and say that everyone who says they are a Christian IS a Christian.
Even if they're a wolf of a seminarian running for office in Texas who teaches that God is non-binary, homosexuality isn't a sin, and that the annunciation somehow supported abortion.
No such thing as “othopraxy” then?
For instance, NT Wright disagrees with this take when writing about how beliefs about LGBT issues cannot be “debatable matters” and disagreement places you outside the bounds:
“This isn’t a matter of ‘private response to Scripture’ but of the uniform teaching of the whole Bible, of Jesus himself, and of the entire Christian tradition.”
To reject the Bibles teaching on the sinfulness of sodomy or abortion is to reject his Lordship, and therefore to reject both the Apostles and Nicene Creed.
The goal of the Gospel is not to affirm you, celebrate you, or empower you to do whatever you want.
The goal of the Gospel is to rescue you, transform you, and empower you to do whatever God says.
The Bible directly commands us to call out false teaching from those who may claim to be Christians but teach another gospel.
- Matthew 7:15— Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
- Romans 16:17-18— I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
- Ephesians 5:11— Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
- 1 Timothy 6:3-5— If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing.
- 2 Timothy 3:5— ...having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
-Titus 1:10-11— For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group. 11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain.
- 2 John 1:10-11— If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting**, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.
- Jude 1:3-4— Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain people have crept in unnoticed. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
