It’s always a pleasure to hang out with Joe. The Lord has blessed him with insightful and practical theology which is desperately needed in our day.

[Joseph Boot @DrJoeBoot]

Great to be ministering this morning at a conference in Calgary with a dear friend and brother, pastor Tim Steven’s.

[Nathanael Wright @NatePWright]

Great panel discussion today at the Spark Business Leaders Conference. @DrJoeBoot @tim__stephens

"Therefore, I suggest we add two words to the common phrase “separation of church and state”: under God, or better yet, under Christ. This is the ideal arrangement: a separation of church and state under Christ."

[Tim Stephens @tim__stephens]

The title “King of kings and Lord of lords” is not just a meaningless ceremonial title but describes Christ’s rightful authority over both the church and the state.

In religious pluralism, the state becomes the great unifier, judge, lawgiver, and savior. However, the state is not omniscient, omnipotent, all-wise, all-gracious, all-merciful, or all-good. Meaning Canada’s “god” is a short-sighted, weak, incompetent, cruel, impersonal demi-god.

After the battle over inerrancy comes the battle over sufficiency.

Is the Bible enough to order our churches and speak to the role and function of a pastor?

[Tom Ascol @tomascol @tomascol]

It’s way past time to make plain that any church that contradicts God’s Word by affirming women in the role or function of pastor has no place in the SBC. Support @albertmohler’s amendment in Orlando.

"Man is a dependent creature: he has nothing of his own: he can do nothing: he can control no event whatever; he is altogether in the hands of God, who supports him in life, and accomplishes both in him and by him his own sovereign will and pleasure." -- Charles Simeon

Can democratic freedom work without God?

Even an atheist like me has to wonder.

More thoughts on our church's excommunication as denominational leaders insist that complementarianism was not the issue...

[Tim Stephens @tim__stephens]

The church doesn’t need leaders who are politicians that compromise, strategize, and double-speak.

The church needs leaders who are prophets that say, “Thus says the Lord” whether in season or out of season.

2 Tim 4:1-5

[Tom Ascol @tomascol @tomascol]

A pastor & church who ask their association to abide by its stated principles is kicked out for being troublesome.

It’s not just a Canadian problem.

I have participated in mediation with some of these parties. I am deeply grieved at the actions of Fellowship Prairies. The churches that have been voted out (how is this possible?) were fully committed to the doctrinal terms of the Fellowship, and were very patient in calling the Fellowship to ethical consistency. Very sad day in the West.

[Tim Stephens @tim__stephens]

Our church was voted out of the Fellowship yesterday.

My quick response: https://t.co/filSGZweLf

More to come next week...
