“The holy Christian Church, whose only Head is Christ, is born of the Word of God, abides in the same, and does not listen to the voice of a stranger.”
The 1st of the Ten Theses of Berne
250 thousand white girls raped and trafficked by Muslim immigrant pedophiles in the UK. Industrial scale sexual abuse and torture inflicted on the native inhabitants by barbaric foreign gangs who were welcomed into the country by the government. One of the worst scandals in the history of the western world. It really is that bad. Anyone who ignores this story is forever discredited going forward. Watch especially for the people on “our side” who look the other way.
"If we are not together in doctrinal truth, then nothing else will keep us together. Without the truth, we have no mission. Without the truth, we have no message."
Here is Willy Rice's full, powerful sermon from the 2026 SBC Pastors Conference!

I trust this tweet was made on good faith, but I’m sorry I just struggle to take this argument seriously.
There is much to say, but I’ll just make 3 points:
One, the SBC defines cooperation around “secondary” issues because it is formed around secondary issues. Baptism defines our denomination, but it is a secondary issue. The play to dismiss “secondary” as if it is unimportant just misunderstands (or misrepresents) how denominations work. We need to define these issues clearly because the SBC is formed by these issues as well as the primary issues.
Two, the idea that talking about ecclesiology is a distraction from the ‘real mission’ is simply foolish. We can talk about ministry and practice ministry at the same time. We do this all the time! We can talk about church polity while practicing it at the same time. We can talk about counseling or evangelism or leadership or variety of topics, and none of us think that precludes us from acting on the things we discuss. This objection is frankly so absurd, it feels disingenuous.
Three, the mission we’re called to involves both planting churches and teaching people to observe all Jesus has commanded - this is actually part of the Great Commission! Both of these tasks involve us talking about, clarifying, and then implementing our beliefs on the issue of who serves in pastoral ministry and preaches to the gathered congregation. Our shared mission through our SBC entities demands clarity on these issues precisely because we want to carry out the mission. It is because of the mission that we talk about these things.
In sum, it is just silly to try and paint the issue this way. Nothing we’re doing distracts from the mission. Nothing. We can walk and chew gum at the same time.
I urge you who are reading this to reject these arguments and attempts to emotionally manipulate you into not supporting the Mohler Amendment. No one is against the mission - rather we clarify for the purpose of mission.
Don’t be steered by bad arguments. Be busy about the mission to reach people and plant churches and teach them to observe Christ’s commands. Do ALL of the mission. It’s also ok to discuss and debate these issues while we’re busy doing the work of ministry. We can do both - heck, we do it all the time!
Someone in my church sitting down with me has never been a "once in a lifetime opportunity." All they have to do is call and ask. I'm meeting with someone different every day this week.
Sometimes these megachurch guys are way too big for their britches.
The SBC President appoints the committees that choose the leaders of all SBC entities and the convention. We need a bold, loving, strong Christian SBC President who stands unashamedly upon the word of God, affirms the BF&M 2000, and appoints like-minded leaders. Willy Rice is that man. I will vote for him and encourage you to do the same.

Proposition 6 via 9 Marks: Careful examination and conversation should precede baptism, meaning that “spontaneous baptisms,” which depend heavily on the subjective sense of the participant, are typically unwise, pastorally careless, and a source of false assurance and nominalism.
Co-sign. It’s for the long term good of the professed convert.
@WillyRice That was the weightiest, most powerful sermon I’ve yet heard at any SBC gathering. I’d love to post a manuscript of it and share it with my congregation.
I'm posting my full response to you here because I think it's important. I think you have grossly wronged @jackngraham and I want to make sure onlookers know it. You need to take this down and apologize:
That is NOT what he was saying DJ and it is vile that you would suggest it. The abuse crisis claim was not that abuse has happened in SBC churches. We know, that as much as we might wish it, we can't always screen out every predator who looks to the church for prey.
We CAN put in place the best systems to identify them, prevent them from gaining access to children, and report them to police when they are identified. And the SBC has done this.
This is why, over nearly 30 years, across 43,000 churches that have played host to tens of millions of members, attenders, volunteers, and staff, the most allegations that a Houston Chronicle reporter could come up with was 700.
Again, 700 allegations over 30 years across 43,000 churches. That is an incidence rate of of about 0.054% per church per year. Or roughly 5.4 cases per 10,000 churches per year. That is EXTREMELY low.
By comparison, just one Chicago school district of 39k students saw 470 claims against school employees in 2022. One district. One year saw 56 TIMES the number of allegations that the ENTIRETY of the SBC has seen over 30 years.
Of course, we still want every one of those claims investigated and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. And guess what? That happened. Almost every one of those 700 cases that the Chronicle collated had already been adjudicated. Meaning most of the alleged perpetrators had been reported, charged, and in many cases incarcerated.
So the system worked as it was supposed to.
What Pastor Graham is denying is the abuse "crisis" narrative that was based not on abuse of children but primarily questionable allegations from adult women.
In fact, in the two highest profile cases, one woman was eventually found to have sent love letters to her alleged abuser (who was married and who she traveled to meet with) and the other said she didn't realize her sexual encounter was abuse until 10 years later, even though she was a mom of 5 in her 30s at the time of the alleged abuse.
These were the allegations that the abuse "crisis" rested on.
And that crisis was then used by Russell Moore and JD Greear to drive their opponents from the executive committee.
Not one claim of cover up by national leadership was ever supported by evidence. And THAT is what Pastor Graham is talking about. You need to apologize to him brother and take this post down.
In 1999, CDC data showed BABIES getting the Hep B vaccine in their first 30 days had a 1,135% INCREASE IN AUTISM compared to those who didn't get the vaccine.
They panicked, held a secret meeting at Simpsonwood with Big Pharma & regulators...then BURIED THE DATA.
Islam is the scary religion that the entertainment and media industries have been trying to paint Christianity as.
Christianity is the peaceful religion that the entertainment and media industries have been trying to paint Islam as.
This is not a "conflict over land," as the mainstream media often portrays it:
"It is religious persecution with the clear objective of Islamizing regions and eliminating the Christian presence.
The attacks are concentrated on churches, pastors, Christian festivals, and believing villages."
I have seen opponents of Albert Mohler's "Truth & Unity Amendment" sow a lot of confusion about what this amendment actually does.
Former Baptist and current egalitarian Mike Bird, for example, accuses Mohler of “theological duplicity” and argues that “the proposed amendment looks like a move designed specifically to associate maleness with power and women with submission to male power.”
Bird says, “I don’t know whether I’m reading about Mohler’s ‘conservative resurgence’ or Mao’s ‘cultural revolution.’”

Another senator just got caught doing what would end the career of any regular American.
Senator John Boozman of Arkansas bought shares of Devon Energy on April 9.
He did not disclose the trade until May 8, almost a full month later.
Here’s the problem:
Boozman sits on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, the same committee that shapes energy policy in this country.
He also sits on subcommittees that oversee commodities and rural energy.
In other words, he votes on legislation that directly impacts the oil and gas sector.
And then he buys oil and gas stocks.
This is not a one-off.
A week before he bought Devon, he also bought shares of Constellation Energy on April 2.
In the last 3 years alone, Boozman has filed 331 stock trades totaling over $667,000.
He has received nearly $150,000 from oil, gas, and coal interests since 2012 according to OpenSecrets.
A senator on the energy committee, funded by energy lobbyists, trading energy stocks ahead of energy policy.
If a corporate executive did this with their own company's stock, they would be in handcuffs.
When a senator does it, it gets a delayed filing and a one-line public disclosure.
The system is not broken, it’s working exactly the way it was designed to.
If you want to know which stocks insiders are buying, follow us with notifications so you don’t miss our alerts. This is VERY important.
A lot of people will wish they followed us sooner.
Senator John Fetterman just confirmed what everyone suspected. Obama has been showing up on Capitol Hill WEEKLY issuing marching orders to Democrats in both chambers.
Fetterman said: "I don't know who he thinks elected him to do that — but it wasn't the people I serve."
If that's true, Obama is running an active shadow government to undermine Trump and we the people.
