Jesus is Lord and King. 2+2=4. My girls have my heart. Dad jokes are always funny. Posts are mine, not my employer's. Mr. Bultitude is my homeboy.

For the record:

This is a Mr. Bultitude appreciator account.

I have to admit, I’m in a pretty down place right now. News coverage and social media is feeding my angry doomscrolling urge. Stress about work and the future is weighing heavy. I need to unplug. See y’all in a few weeks.

The SBC's struggling to recapture proper ecclesiology right now. You see it in the discussions about the office of pastor/elder, the proper exercise of baptism, and the nature of church membership. If reformers are going to press their advantage after this week, that's the front.

[Dave Mitchell, Stochastic Humorist @the4thdave]

Exactly right. Baptism is a public profession of faith observed by the body of believers. It is baptism INTO the body of Christ, represented by the local expression of that body.

[Tom Buck (Five Point Buck) @TomBuck]

A church shouldn’t baptize anyone that it doesn’t take into membership in order to make them a disciple of Jesus Christ by teaching them to obey all the He commanded.

This is the best Zelda game.
You are allowed to have a personal favorite that isn't this one, but Link to the Past is one of the few perfect games ever made.

It ages like fine wine. It's pixel perfect graphics and wonderful soundtrack are timeless. It's gameplay is laser smooth.

In 40 years it will still be perfect.

Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

Dear Southern Baptists,

You missed the mark on this.

Sincerely,
Gen Z SBC Church Members (the future of the SBC)

@The_Kyle_Mann @MichaelFKane Crichton wrote a sequel. Pity it was never brought to the screen.

[Dave Mitchell, Stochastic Humorist @the4thdave]

This, so stinking much.

I'll admit, I've skipped some reports and things in the past to run through the exhibit hall, but the votes are THE REASON YOU ARE THERE.

It's a business meeting, not "Baptist Homecoming Weekend." https://t.co/v5GZ2rQPLG

@ColtonYarbro Great video, brother. Got my sub for sure--always down to follow another bearded Bible and book lover!

[Spurgeon Sermons @CHS_Sermons]

For those who like reserving their copies right away, or for those who appreciate supporting us while we are in the middle of our labors, Volume 5 of Spurgeon's Sermons (1859) is open for *EARLY PRE-ORDER*.

Ok fellow messengers to the 2026 Southern Baptist Convention, please get to convention session NOW to vote YES to suspend rule so we can vote on amendment I proposed this morning. We must press on! We need to get this done.

[Doug Ponder @dougponder]

Some insider baseball for my SBC followers, especially those at the annual meeting:

Jeff Iorg’s statement that “the mission matters most” is, of course, quite true.

But the way he contrasted that with “other issues, which matter much less” should not delude anyone into thinking that focusing on issues like women pastors are “distractions” from the mission.

Don’t take the bait, brothers and sisters. “The mission that matters most” is God’s mission, but we must undertake that on God’s terms. This means we cannot pit doctrine against evangelism or missions.

The former fuels the latter. As Willy Rice rightly said yesterday, “Faithfulness today means fruitfulness tomorrow.”

Remember this when the time comes to vote for Mohler’s truth and unity amendment.

Let’s go, @WillyRice! #sbc26

I have to say, it’s rich when the platform speakers swipe at people on social media, when blogs and social media are literally the only platforms that the average Billy Baptist has to speak up and break through the entity-head filibusters. #sbc26

[Dave Mitchell, Stochastic Humorist @the4thdave]

Good motion, @Byzness. We need to identify which messengers are partisans of specific entities. #sbc26
