Incredible generosity year after year from @FirstRockwall, setting a new record this year. Thank you @michaelcriner for your leadership!

@CalebwNewsom @jkylebrosseau Exactly what I was going to say!

@jkylebrosseau And sports betting!

I hadn’t really seen American TV commercials in several years. But apparently they’re now like 75% pharmaceutical adds?

Lifeway is thankful for our partnership with @IMB_SBC and @NAMB_SBC to advance the Great Commission. This summer Lifeway campers gave nearly $698,000 to support Southern Baptist missionaries and missions efforts.

I forgive him because that’s what Christ did and that’s what Charlie would do. The answer to hate is not hate, the answer we know from the gospel is love… love for our enemies. And love for those who persecute us. - Erika Kirk

Thanks @abrumback1 for the powerful reminder today @SBTS of what the world’s greatest problem really is! @IMB_SBC, @SBTSMissions, #onesacredeffort

The wicked & senseless murder in Charlotte reminds me of meeting 3 generations of a Ukrainian family seeking refuge in a Romanian church. An 8 year old girl, her mother & grandmother had crossed the border not knowing anyone in Romania but were immediately ushered into the safe keeping of a Baptist church and a group of @sendrelief volunteers. The wicked prey on the vulnerable, the godly protect them.

I wish every Southern Baptist could see their @IMB_SBC missionaries the way Michelle and I get to see them. Even the children inspire us to hold more tightly the ropes that support them in our prayers and generosity.

Why am I a Southern Baptist? This is one question I ask students taking the required Baptist history class I teach. I want them to know how I answer it and have arrived at my answer with cheerful conviction. baptistpress.com/resource-libra…

Real @IMB_SBC missionary life:

Kicking off our @IMB_SBC Europe month of prayer and fasting. Would you like to join us?

Gavin Ortlund offers four reasons why penal substitutionary atonement remains a vital part of Christian theology. youtube.com/watch?v=WLZiqw…

I think an easy way to show that the Bible teaches penal substitutionary atonement is with three simple observations: 1. Throughout the Bible, death is a penalty for sin 2. Jesus died but was sinless, therefore… 3. Jesus’ death was a punishment for someone else’s sin (ours)

@lukestamps @jake_stone89 @TomHicks2LCF @Petty_France @pj_schreiner Plain and simple. Thoroughly Baptist and yet pushing us to be the best theologians and scholars we can be.

Name one Baptist author or work that doesn't get enough love. Curious to hear from @jake_stone89, @TomHicks2LCF, @Petty_France, and anyone else interested.

(1/2) Medical missions @IMB_SBC is a key part of our legacy as Southern Baptists. It’s not too late to get in on MedAdvance 2025!

@mitchellchase Can't ever be TOO Baptist right?

Thinking of becoming more Baptist, tbh

@ToddUnzicker @ncbaptist @IMB_SBC @RidgecrestNC Quintell is fire! Great guy, great speaker, great bbqer!

Great hearing my friend, Quintell Hill, past @ncbaptist president and now @IMB_SBC mobilizer, preaching on Jesus’ love for neighbors and the nations. Challenging and encouraging.

@Sean_McDowell I gave some thoughts on the subject here. linkedin.com/posts/evan-mac…

What ethical guidelines should pastors follow when using AI to develop sermons?

It's okay if we have thorns and thistles in our work. Christ has redeemed our work but not yet renewed it.
