Bring back church bells on Sunday morning 🔔 Let everyone within hearing distance be reminded that Christ is Lord and that the worship of Him is commanded of all people.

@Protestia It would be more accurate to say that a resolution passed condemning all forms of gambling as sin. And rejected a motion to amend for more precise (better) language. Doing that SB Christians do best and binding the conscience of fellow believers on an issue of nuance.

#SBC25 passes resolutions condemning sports betting and pornography. Notably, the resolutions committee rejected consideration of a proposed resolution against the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR).

@BMcGrewvy "Elect infants dying in infancy are regenerated and saved by Christ through the Spirit;⁠ who works when, and where, and how He pleases;⁠ so also are all elect persons, who are incapable of being outwardly called by the ministry of the Word." - 2nd London Baptist Confession

I think infants and the mentally disabled aren't guilty of sin and would instantly go to heaven if they died.

"Make it pop" really, Apple? Thanks for that... signed a graphic designer who does is best to help clients understand how to better articulate their feedback... #WWDC24

@BonifaceOption “as our enemies are actively destroying every last remnant of Christendom.” You wanna rephrase that part? Because God has made it abundantly clear throughout scripture that He will preserve His bride. Do you doubt His providence?

It is remarkable just how immature these guys are. The "immaturity" I am talking about is not "making memes." It is well known how Luther and the reformers used the 16th Century version of the internet (the printing press) to poast. I am not talking about that. But rather the immaturity of not knowing what time it is, and pretending like re-fighting the battles that were pressing in the 16th Century is both extremely edgy and a worthwhile pursuit as our enemies are actively destroying every last remnant of Christendom. I don't fight with other Christians over doctrine, even ones I consider to be in very, very serious error unless that doctrine is relevant to the battles we are currently fighting. I don't fight baptists over baptism. I don't fight orthos over icons. I don't fight Catholics over soteriology and the papacy. This is not because I don't think these things are extremely important doctrinal concerns. They are. There are not, however, where the battle facing the church is at this moment. It is not the 16th and 17th Century anymore. Anyone with any awareness of the world we live in knows you are infinitely more likely to go to prison for opposing the regime than the Papacy—a regime that murders countless babies, mutilates the genitals of children, sends hundreds of thousands to die in pointless wars, and robs everyone of both their wealth and their historic way of life. To engage in such pointless trolling, to edgelord in the safety of battles fought by much more courageous men centuries ago is to demonstrate profound immaturity. A childishness that plays silly games as our entire civilization burns to the ground.

@IanMaphet Praying for you all

What is good and beautiful can be objectively measured. And the standard of that objectivity is the same as it is with all things: God.

@JustinPetersMin I can’t find the original show, but you can see a clip where we made fun of that specific video immortalized in the old intro of the Wretched TV show. 10 second mark. youtu.be/PSZK_pRMB1o

This just may be the most compelling charismatic miracle I’ve ever seen.

I love teaching. One student asked, why do we Baptists limit ourselves to two transcendentals? We’re zealous for truth, devoted to goodness, but settle for church in a strip mall. Baptists, bring beauty back. It’s time: retrieve aesthetics. We need transcendence in church again.

@worsteditorever Trying to decide if I should take it as praise or criticism from this particular Twitter account since I do the same thing… 👀

Honestly I just use the waveform when picking stock music now.

Don’t worry ladies, @lifetimetv is here this season to remind you that somewhere out there is a single dad and his daughter running a Christmas gingerbread shop waiting for your car to break down at their doorstep and help save their town from big city #loveafter30

Second, modern American evangelicalism has a hard time grasping that while abuse and trauma are very real and tangible things, the Gospel’s power to heal is equally real and active for the Holy Spirit filled believer. The labels we wear don’t have to be permanent.

Finished listening to Rise and Fall of Mars Hill (yes I’m the last to hear it). Couple of take aways: First, we must let the gospel we preach shape our own lives and those around us should be affirming that we are or challenging us when we aren’t.

On “Turning Red”: Disney used similar plot points in “Tangled,” “Brave,” & “Encanto.” Someone over there is hung up on an idea that gets a little less adorable and a lot more objectionable every time they tell it. It’s the polar opposite plot from Pinocchio. Farewell, Disney.

@IanMaphet It’s time to setup a couple of raspberry pi servers running through VPNs playing your tracks on loop 🤣

@GomesHasti I have very mixed feelings about using Justin Peters as the face of that meme

Absolutely NEVER!

@kyleprohaska you were saying something about 10tb of data usage not long ago? 🤣

I mean, I’m not gonna say I don’t understand why @ATT would be throttling my connection to @Dropbox. But I am paying for unlimited data at gig speeds so why is it when I turn on my VPN the files start syncing faster? Dropbox would throttle me at the account level so… 🤷‍♂️

Oh look the horror of tax money being used to save lives and help mothers in crisis! And horror of horrors it’s a conservative movement! And fyi, EVERY SINGLE crisis pregnancy center I know continues supporting women after their child is born.

@IanMaphet I guess the worker really is worthy of his wages. Pay a subpar amount and get back subpar preaching… 🤣
