DeSantis did what he said and grew his base 20 points. Abbott stayed flat for 12 years. Steve Deace: "Much of this party would rather lose to Democrats than lose control of the party to people like us." #CrossPolitic

Young men, if public office is on your mind, here are a few things to consider.

Prove yourself where people already know you. If you're married, lead your wife and children well. Be the man at work who keeps his word and finishes the job. Serve in your church and in your town long before you ask anybody for a vote.

Learn to govern yourself first. If you can't control your temper, your passions, your tongue, or your spending, you are not ready to use the authority Christ delegates to civil servants. "Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city" (Prov 16:32).

Paul told Timothy, "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth" (2 Tim 2:15). Know your Bible. Then learn the law, the budget, and how the body you want to serve actually works.

When Moses chose men to judge Israel, he looked for "able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe" (Exod 18:21). Office will test you on every one of those. Lobbyists will buy you dinner and call you their friend, and sooner or later they will ask for something in return. Some of the people closest to you will want you to look the other way. You need to know before you run that you can carry that weight.

Ask godly men who know your life to tell you the truth about whether you're ready. If you have a faithful church, start there. My church prayed over me and sent me, and I'm grateful for it.

If you're thinking about public office, start getting ready now.

South Texas Builders Association Vice Chair tells Stephen Miller to stop deportations: “If you want to continue harassing our communities, these same communities you’re now harassing will make sure you lose the White House.”

@Jondinger @RoyalBlueRapto1 But you can remove the plank.

[Jeff Wright @merelyjwright]

A smart friend (not sure if he wants tagged credit) pointed out that Seeker Sensitive is now being rebranded as Guest Forward.

Remember: Christ is the First Concern of any local church gathering & His requirements are the only meaningful consideration.

However, when that order is properly in place both believers& observing guests are served appropriately.

[Jon Hadinger @Jondinger]

@jshurmer @Bear_of_Logres That’s what churches who don’t seek the lost tell themselves to be able to look down on the ones that do. I know cuz I also once did it and I once spoke that way

You can have a faithful service that maintains the practiced believers do together while also being guest forward.

[Jeff Wright @merelyjwright]

@Jondinger @RoyalBlueRapto1 Repentance.

@benrcrenshaw @MikeBenzCyber 😬

[Jeff Wright @merelyjwright]

@Jondinger No, I keep demonstrating how heinous your commitment to opposing Christ is. And how hardened you are in it.

[Jeff Wright @merelyjwright]

@Jondinger You calling that Christlike is your failure. It is idolatry and blasphemy to honor any created thing above Christ. Christ did not do this and in fact hates it. You set yourself against Christ.

It is you being condescending, with your empty "humility" talk.

[Jeff Wright @merelyjwright]

@theblaze The curse of the Hick Lib.

[Jeff Wright @merelyjwright]

@Jondinger Rhetorical games.

It isn't Christlike to honor creatures over The Living God.

The Biblical categories for that are (a) idolatry and (b) blasphemy.

[Jeff Wright @merelyjwright]

It isn't Christlike to honor creatures over Christ. You can project your obvious failures in whatever speculative fashion you want; it's as empty as your pieties about humility.

You're right that only one of us can claim to be familiar with Christ and His word. Seeker Sensitivity does nothing so well as produce ignorant believers and counterfeits of Christianity.

[Jeff Wright @merelyjwright]

1. The first priority of Christ is His Father's glory. He also insists that He be glorified among his people.

2. You can call it whatever you like but a gathered church is there for the glorification of Christ. Any substitute is blasphemy by nature of directing glory due to Him to some created thing.
