So far I've mentioned this only privately to a few friends, but there's no reason to keep it quiet:

The oncologist told me last week that the cancer seems to be making a rebound. "Remission" lasted less han 3 months. They are now prepping me for a different kind of treatment.

Two grave errors leaders can make when serious sin arises in the church:

One is not dealing with the sin and refusing to discipline the unrepentant sinner (1 Cor 5).

The other is to deal with the sin but refusing to graciously forgive and comfort the repentant sinner (2 Cor 2).

@popculture72632 @Game0gre @reddit_lies You started with a baseless claim.

I have taken down my post about Steve Lawson speaking at the Contending For The Faith Conference. @Protestia 's reporting of Steve being listed as a speaker being the result of "an internal misunderstanding that led them to assume he would agree" is still puzzling to me.

Steve was not merely listed as a speaker, but there was also a page dedicated to him and a detailed description of his sessions. The topic of "How To Prepare A Sermon" is exactly the kind of thing Steve would be expected to address - screenshot attached. This was all posted before Steve accepted their invitation?

This was(is) a real conference hosted by a real church advertised on a legitimate website that was open to the public for viewing and registration. The natural assumption is that Steve was a scheduled speaker. I did not find this on my own, it was sent to me by multiple people.

I have spoken at my share of conferences. Some small, some large, some in between over a period of 20+ years. I have never been listed as a speaker for any conference on any website before I gave my acceptance to speak. No one that I know has had this happen to him either. Is it possible this could happen? Sure. Likely? No.

Also attached is a screenshot of the same conference from last year, 2025. I've run this through two different AI engines to see if this is a legitimate post or if it bears any evidence of being either photoshopped or AI generated. Both came back saying that this is a real advertisement for a real conference. It bears the typical social media characteristics for the host church's social media posts - see attached.

I cannot find any videos from this conference featuring Lawson. But it certainly appears he was scheduled to preach at it. The post was made September 19, 2025, about the conference scheduled for October 24-25, 2025. So, are we to believe that the same church hosting the same conference made the same mistake about the same person 2 years in a row? Something is not adding up.

I did not make my post with any animus towards Steve at all. For any of you who have watched my videos on false teachers, I do not have any animus towards the likes of Benny Hinn and Kenneth Copeland. Though I hate what these men do, I do not hate them. I have made many, many direct personal please to them to come to a place of genuine faith and genuine repentance. If I harbor no ill will towards Hinn, Copeland, Duplantis, etc., why would I for Steve?

Though there was no reason to think this was not legitimate, and others did as well, I sincerely apologize for posting about this conference. The hosting church and conference organizers should explain how this happened - and especially the post from last year.

I have a high view of what true repentance looks like because the Bible does. Real repentance bears real, tangible fruit. I have and continue to pray for Steve.

There is much more that I know and could say about this situation in general (not related to the conference specifically), but I will leave it at that for now. As John MacArthur has famously and rightly said, time and truth go hand in hand.

My greenhouse hit 130 ° F yesterday, fully opened. Today I expect that number to be broken.

Heard from our missionaries to Cuba in church today. Be praying for our brothers and sisters in Cuba that the Gospel is proclaimed and the Lord continues to protect them. The Lord does wonderful things in the midst of turmoil.

As a young boy who discovered the internet, Google came into the scene at the same time. I was a fledging computer nerd and learned to love Google. I then saw the company that seemed to want to do all the good things in the world was perhaps not so well-intentioned any longer. Do you trust them?

You said it is a position held by an elder and it is a functional role. The last bit was unclear as it used argumentative language. Could you expound upon what the function is by your definition?

I also would like to know the governing body for the credential to hold the Body of Christ hostage to weekly monologues so we could ask for their comment.

@dartmonkeyfan @TheBaconFather @HuskyChungus As an American, I can tell you, we do not care what the world thinks. The world follows America's direction. There is no country even close to as great as the nation we built.

Now don't tell me Europeans believe America doesn't have humidity.

@Protestia I support people's freedom in making foolish choices.

It's that time of year again for Europeans to complain about the oppressive Sun making them hot. Brought to you by the same demographic that hates their farmers.

America is the descendants of Europeans that wanted to escape tyranny.

Europe is the descendants that remained in tyranny.

One adopted AC upon invention, whilst the other complains to this day. Those that love freedom, love AC.

Americans be like "me who walks from AC house to AC garage and then goes with AC car to work and do not even leave my AC car for food or coffee does not understand why Europeans don't like 100°F heat in May"
