There are organizations that sell “sermons” to pastors and there are organizations churches belong to that require pastors to use these “sermons”. These “sermons” are created with one goal in mind: To make the audience feel good, so they keep coming back to donate money.

"You have a certain aggressive way of presenting yourself online. Belligerent, combative." Got an example? It's X, should be easy to post a screenshot. "arrested for a violent crime of some sort, some years ago." Got a mugshot for THAT one, pal? Did you bother to look it up at all to see if that accusation was even true, or did you just believe it, like the recent situation, because you're sour over my rebukes of you? "Naturally we’re all innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, praise God." Right. So that doesn't answer my question. How am I "worse than you thought" if an "arrest is not a conviction"?

Joel Webbon: slept with his church member for 8-months while pastoring only to cover it up and then lie that he wasn’t a pastor when it came out. Dale Partridge: lied about degrees he never had among dishonesties & vices. Calvin Robinson: NOT an American, but Larps as one for clout, fled from his own county that’s overrun by Muslims rather than helping his own people, and a foreigner who calls Protestantism “Jewish heresy.” Joshua Haymes: there’s still time to repent. This is anything but “America first.” A Christ-less nationalism, isn’t Christian nationalism. You must actually be Christian.

It’s not the openly wicked who are always the most dangerous people, but the morally certain who can no longer recognize mercy.

Remember this verse while everyone starts freaking out about disclosure. “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.” - Colossians 1:16 ALL THINGS in heaven and on earth All means all. That means even “aliens” are under the lordship of Christ. Christian, you have nothing to fear. And the Word of God is true no matter what any government or scientist says.

Why have so many conservative pundits gone off the rails in the last few years? It’s too coincidental to not have been coordinated. What’s the end game here? My initial guess: It’s Hegelian dialectic. Problem > Reaction > Solution Look at what the SPLC just got caught doing. For years, the left has cried wolf about Nazis, far-right extremists, etc. Now, they have actual evidence and they’ll use it to push their agenda going into the next election cycle.

“Ad orientum” means “to the East”. Where did this “tradition” come from? And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord. And behold, at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs to the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east, worshiping the sun toward the east. Ezekiel 8:16

Happy 5th anniversary to @OutrchCatholic, the LGBTQ Catholic ministry of @americamag, of which I'm happy to be a part. One highlight was our Sept. pilgrimage to Rome for the Jubilee, including a very warm Mass at a chapel in Santa Maria Maggiore, and my first Mass "ad orientum."

@BillArnoldTeach “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 Wrestle with that one for a bit. See also Matthew 15:3-6.

I’ve never once engaged with you, yet I’ve made your list. You know what’s actually effeminate, Tom? Publicly labeling men you refuse to engage. Malakoi is not a throwaway insult. I’m more offended by your liberal use of the text. In 1 Cor 6:9, it’s a category of those outside the kingdom of God. Words like that are not yours to weaponize over disagreements where you can’t defend your position. That’s quite literally the definition of cowardice. Further, mature men understand that disagreement over adiaphora doesn’t place a man outside the faith. Binding consciences where God has given liberty is what papists do. Is that the standard you’re operating with? This is the only time I’ve tagged you, and it was to commend you. So I can only assume you think it’s “effeminate” that I reject NETTR or Schmittian political theory. That’s an odd hill to die on, Tom. Matt 12:36-37.

I’m not SBC, so I’m about as concerned as I am with PCUSA, but as they are my brothers I look to back a sober and principled man of consistency. Wolfe supports NXR, which is inconsistent being that Calvin Robinson recently endorsed Paula White as “pastor” and his “sister.” Hardly a reform Wolfe is interested in when he’s supporting other “reformed” baptists that partner with High Church Anglicans who openly endorse the heretic Paula White. It’s clear it’s not about faithful reform for Wolfe, but a power grab. I’d say @tomascol has been the most faithful in his reform of the SBC over the past few decades, along with the other faithful men at @FoundersMin. The difference between Ascol and Wolfe is, at least one man is consistent in both word and deed. The SBC needs sober, faithful and principled men. Wolfe just ain’t it. A broken clock is right twice a day.

I don't regard so many people that way—only those biological males who persistently engage the same way little girls do. Such behavior is appropriate for girls, but is malakoi for men. I only have 7 on my list (so far). @elimcgowan is one of a few. He earned it.
