Senator Ted Cruz pushed back against Rep. Ogles’ now-deleted post saying that homosexuals have “no place” in America and marking “Happy Nuclear Family Month.”
“Well, I think for all of recorded history that homosexuals have been part of humanity, and you know, I got to say, I'm quite libertarian by nature. I think the behavior of consenting adults is their business,” said Cruz.

It's really astonishing that at a moment where many PCA'ers are frustrated at a church court, RZ's idea is to promote the PCUSA.
Y'know, the church that defrocked Machen for trying to spread the Gospel to foreign nations.
To those frustrated with the PCA:
Don't bother sticking with a denomination that was founding upon not sticking with the denomination.
It's clear now that splitting from a denomination due to liberalism does not solve the problem, it just delays it for you and makes it 10x worse for the people you split from.
It's time to abandon the failed experiment that is the PCA and come home to mother PCUSA, the church that helped build America.
Catching up this AM…
My good friend @ZacharyGarris, his sweet family, and his wonderful congregation deserved better treatment from Rio Grande Presbytery.
It is astounding to me that the men responsible for pastoring the regional expression of the PCA in New Mexico decided to bar a preacher from fulfilling his calling and rob a church of their minister over what amounts to banter on @X. I’ve seen the supposed victim of said banter post far worse (i.e., malicious) things online.
It is hard to conclude anything other than Rio Grande Presbytery chose vindictiveness over equity in finding Zach guilty and then levying a censure of indefinite suspension. This result is prima facie so incredibly over the top, out of balance, and inappropriate. But I confess that I don’t know all the facts of the case, and I’m certain that more of the story will be told on appeal to the PCA’s Standing Judicial Commission of the General Assembly.
May Christ’s honor and ministry in His Kingdom prevail over all folly and wickedness in His Church.
God bless the PCA.

Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,
“Let us burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”
He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
“As for me, I have set my King
on Zion, my holy hill.”
I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and the ends of the earth your possession.
You shall break them with a rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.”
Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son,
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his wrath is quickly kindled.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Psalm 2
The last guy to throw around the word “fundamentalism” in major PCA discussions like it’s a bad thing is gay, so…yeah, I’ll concede. I stand against the modernists who deny the basics of the faith. Call me a fundamentalist, I guess.
In the LDS Church, we do not see Eve eating the forbidden fruit as a mistake or even a sin.
To the contrary, we celebrate her courage and wisdom to partake of the fruit, transgress the bounds of Eden and become all that her Heavenly Father wanted her to be.
