An all-white “church” that doesn’t publish its address?

That’s a cult.

Don't lecture us about restoring "traditional masculinity" if you're constantly speaking disrespectfully to women.

This is what your good works looks like to God.

Moms on their phone: making a doctor’s appointment, sending pics to the grandmas, writing an email to an accountant, organising logistics for a visiting relative, tracking a package that was meant to arrive but didn’t, ordering things for the household because she doesn’t have time to go physically shop, looking up how to remove a particular type of stain, looking up recipes for dinner with some ingredients she doesn’t know what to do with

Onlookers: “look at her scrolling on her phone, neglecting her family”

Only those who read books regularly will understand this feeling.

Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives.

@conservmillen The 'no lawyers' claim is false — many Christian lawyers are doing pro bono work here. The bill also goes far beyond 'reporting': 60-day prior notice, 25-day registration or conversion is void, burden of proof on accused, blood relatives can trigger an FIR.

Spurgeon has a word for young preachers and amateur theologians who eschew the use of commentaries and other reference works in their study of Scripture.

Today I received this beautiful edition that Crossway (or Desiring God?) graciously gifted me. I can’t remember why. Perhaps a celebration of his 80th. I do know they asked nothing in return.

Well, I will give something in return—namely, honor.

In a day when it’s increasingly fashionable to dunk on our fathers, I simply want to say “thank you” to God for John Piper and the impact his ministry has had on my life.

The lens he gave me was my Wizard of Oz moment where a black and white vision of Christianity burst forth with bright color. The reality that God is more committed to our joy than we are. That holiness and happiness are synonyms. The good dent this left is truly incalculable.

Of course, there are differences. He's not your guy for political theology. But one of the things even he taught me is that all our heroes have feet of clay.

And so it is.

Truthfully, if Christ uses me to bring about even 1/10,000th of the kingdom impact Piper has had, I will feel as if I’d done something.

@xmuse_ because everyone wastes their time on the internet now.
