MountainView Baptist Church

We are a small church in a big city dedicated to the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

[Jeff Wiesner @JeffreyPWiesner]

A “card-carrying dispensationalist” pastor was the first to make me see that the whole Bible fit together and that every word was true.

An anti-Calvinist Arminian showed me to how to do personal evangelism while in college.

An ERAS/EFS-teaching theologian introduced me to systematic theology with his best-selling single-volume systematic.

These are but a few examples of saints the Lord has used in my life to help me grow in my love for God and his word.

Today, I depart from each of them on important subjects—even strongly in some regards.

But I cannot be anything but grateful for the way that the Lord has used all kinds of faithful, Jesus-loving believers to bring me where I am today.

How could my posture toward such saints, even in disagreement, be anything but one that reflects the Lord’s kindness to me through them?

If you’re hanging on by a thread make sure it's attached to the hem of His garment.

[Dr. Michael J. Svigel @Svigel]

Theology 101: Throughout history, marriages between Church and State ultimately led to manipulation, exploitation, and abuse. It’s a fundamentally toxic relationship that ends in tears if we’re lucky or bloodshed if we’re not. It’s best not even to start holding hands.

[Matthew Goins @mattgoins77]

I will forever treasure this testimony my son shared:

"We only live once on this Earth and we can either make our lives count for Christ or we can live for ourselves and forever regret it."

~ Jadon Goins

Now with his Savior for whom he lived. Your race is over, my son!

@JoshuaBarzon 8 hour flight with the saints? Can we have the Christian Nationalists removed from the flight? MacArthur and Kirk do not fit in well with the rest of the group. Their politics first mentality would be taxing and cause the flight to drag.🤗😂🤔😒

[Kim W. Chafee @RevKimWChafee]

Indeed.😔

[MountainView Baptist Church @MyMtViewBaptist]

@albertmohler Sir, your Christian Nationalism is showing. Please have some dignity as a public theologian.🫣

[Laura Robinson @LauraRbnsn]

I think, in the future, Christians should treat pastors who supported Trump as though they, say, wrote an op-ed arguing that ten year olds should use heroin.
You absolutely cannot trust their judgment. You don't have to hate them but they clearly cannot be trusted with any moral

[Dr. Michael F. Bird @mbird12]

When the church caesarizes the Messiah, it loses the gospel. When it messianizes Caesar, it gains a tyrant.

[Russell Moore @drmoore]

That one can excuse or ignore this while claiming to be “pro-life” is a sign of a seared conscience. God have mercy on us all.

[MountainView Baptist Church @MyMtViewBaptist]

From Franklin Graham to Greg Laurie to Al Mohler, the American evangelical Church worships the Beast and rides him like a whore! Revelation 17 in vivid horrifying color.

As an update: 👍

[MountainView Baptist Church @MyMtViewBaptist]

@PastorHamilton8 So much for Christian grace. Wow, "straight out of hell." I'll just take the low hanging fruit, then. The reason you've never met a Calvinist who believed they were going to hell with their family is that they believe the Gospel brings salvation. #SalvationIsOfTheLord

[MountainView Baptist Church @MyMtViewBaptist]

@albertmohler @WNGdotorg Maybe Finland saw what American Christians are up to and took preemptive action. Before we react perhaps we should think about what we have become 🤔

[Dwight McKissic @pastordmack]

Not only was he an evangelist, but also a prophet.

[Bonhoeffer's Child @bonhoefferchild]

Mark it: When Franklin Graham passes, within 20 years of the moment he is in the ground, we will find out that his closet is filled with a legion of skeletons buried under the fabric of his power lust and greed.

Culture war is a moral corrosive.

@albertmohler You are so right, Al! Christians are persecuted and martyred the world over but such a thing should never be allowed to happen in Western society. Western Christians should never have to count the cost or suffer for what they believe in. Make Christianity Easy Again!

[MountainView Baptist Church @MyMtViewBaptist]

@albertmohler Go get 'em, Al! You are the SBC voice for right-wing Christian Nationalism and we appreciate your ineffable demonstration of self-deception and your nuanced denigration of American liberal democracy. 🤨😒

[MountainView Baptist Church @MyMtViewBaptist]

🤔Food for thought, indeed. If only we were more often provoked to thought as Christians, instead of just being provoked.

[Scott Barber @thescottbarber]

Donald Trump was able to use evangelicals and to get them to betray every value they had once claimed to stand for, because as Mark Noll once observed: "the scandal of the evangelical mind is that there is not much of an evangelical mind."

Evangelicalism had time to change course, to develop a more robust and serious intellectual tradition, but instead it turned further to one-dimensional hermeneutics as made concrete by the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, young-earth creationism, nationalism, and rapture eschatology.

One of the best examples of this is the pro-life movement. What should have been fleshed out as a broader care for all life, including care for the poor, respect for the elderly and those with disabilities, and environmentalism (as is done in Catholicism and JP2's Theology of the Body), became a narrow political wedge issue that lacked any actual theological discourse or philosophical structure.
