@5Solas2 Yep, and us also! According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Ephesians 1:4 (KJV)

Grateful to be hearing @JoelBeeke lecture on Biblical Reformed Experiential Preaching here at @SBTS. We preach the Word to the whole heart and all of life. My jam.
English
If you don't know where God's preserved word is found, you have no business lecturing God's people on it… the blind leading the blind.👨🦯

@god_came_down If you can't or will not read a text and see what it is saying you cannot be taken seriously. You assume "rapture" equals church. Most if not all mid-tribbers, pre-wrath and post tribbers make this error.
English
@6downunder Jesus is the way and made the way for the church.
The disciples followed Him and became the apostles of the church.
They were the first converts to the church.
How can anyone say Matthew 24 was to Israel and not the church?
English
I say this in all love , but PreTrib eschatology has a HOLE IN IT big enough to drive a Semi-Truck through.
PreTribulationists argue that Matthew 24 isn’t to the church but only to Israel.
“What will be the sign of your coming?” They asked Jesus. Verse 3.
The events and the sequence of those signs Christ told them about in Matthew 24 mirror Revelation 6 thru the beginning of 8 , which is vitally important information that God wants us to know.
PreTribs argue that the Rapture is before Revelation 6 and they call chapter 6 God’s wrath, but it isn’t.
When I point out to PreTribs that foundational verses of scripture in support of their view of the Rapture are Matthew 24:36,42 , the same chapter they argue isn’t to the church, they never respond. Not occasionally respond.
They NEVER respond.
English
@god_came_down Matthew 24 has nothing to do with the church read it.
English
So you claim Matthew 24 pertains to Christ’s coming to earth and gathering saved Jews at the end of Revelation?
So where do PreTribs get the scripture from that is the basis for the imminence of Christ’s return?
Isn’t it Matthew 24:36,42?
How can Matthew 24 be about the Jews but only verses 36,42 are about the gentile church being raptured?

Really looking forward to the Mullins Lecture series @sbts with Dr. @JoelBeeke on "Biblical-Reformed Experiential Preaching." They begin tomorrow.
These will be fantastic. I hope to see you there.

@DaveMallinak Pastor Wilkerson does at First Baptist even driving the bus. Pastor Trieber at North Valley does as well.
English
@6downunder I would guess many of them do.
But my point is that bigger churches tend to (not universally, but typically) be averse to self-reflection or introspection. Things are growing. They must be doing everything right.
And there tends to be a hierarchy of who those pastors ignore.
English
As a general rule, the bigger the church, the more untouchable the pastor.
And the more insulated the pastor, the more unwilling other pastors are to disagree with him publicly, or to point out unbiblical philosophy or practice.

@RockWallBibles Remember also, you want more than just a good cover; you must have good content. Seriously, what good is goatskin leather on a bad version?
English
If you’re going to buy an off the shelf Bible, at least get one with a vinyl paste-down liner.
A couple I recommend would be the:
• ESV Wide Margin Reference
• NASB Large Print Ultrathin
They will last longer, and the Trutone may wear out before the liner fails at the opening hinge.

Bible Construction 101: Paste-Down vs Edge-Lined Paste-Down (standard) • Paper liner connects cover to text block • Break point: opening/closing hinge • Common on Bibles under ~$40 • Efficient, fast production • Lower material cost (less leather) • Less luxurious overall feel Reinforced Paste-Down (vinyl liner) • Heavier paper or vinyl liner • Stronger hinge area • More tear-resistant than standard • Extends lifespan of paste-down builds • Still efficient to manufacture • Common mid-range upgrade Edge-Lined (premium) • Leather liner instead of paper • Leather tabs connect text block to cover • More luxurious feel • More craftsmanship required • Slower, more complex build • Typically found on $100+ Bibles

@PastorMFurse Tucker tells a half-truth about Israel "taking Southern Lebanon". He does not say WHY Israel went into Southern Lebanon and took it again after doing so in 1978 and 1982.

Great 17th anniversary on Sunday for WBC. 125 in attendance, 3 from doorknocking last week and one of them was saved from doorknocking last Saturday.

@ThePastorBurris CONTEXT! No doubt the translators were not talking about using corrupt versions taken from W&H, Nestle Aland ,UBS Greek text that come from two very corrupt text, Sinaiticus and Vaticanus.
