I'm not at ETS but this is. I'll bet the @ReadBakerBooks rep is really hoping these sell because carrying them twice is too much. To whomever is manning the table, I sincerely apologize but the good news is that got your workout.

Rev. Garris previous published a book by well-known kinist Adi Schlebusch.

As friends of Rev. Garris are pointing out, his PCA Presbytery is having his ecclesiastical trial on Wednesday. Rev. Garris had a formal call for discipline come from about a hundred elders around the country during the summer of 2024 after he defended chattel slavery (which he later apologized for), and was found to have liked many racist memes and statements like one that said racism was not a moral failing.

Executive Mansion,
Washington, Nov. 21, 1864. Dear Madam,-- I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Yours, very sincerely and respectfully, A. Lincoln

QIRC: Quest for Illegitimate Religious Certainty QIRE: Quest for Illegitimate Religious Experience Taken from Recovering the Reformed Confession by @RScottClark helped me both in having concrete shoes & a closed fist unnecessarily, and seeking feelings/emotions for assurance.

@TheHumblSkeptic You're welcome! Thank you and thanks for doing such great work.

Look at her.

Summary: For over two years, a man lingered naked in the women’s locker room at the Stonestown YMCA for hours at a time, up to six days a week, in front of women and young children. When women asked him to cover up, he became belligerent. Women tried everything: multiple meetings with management, a petition signed by more than 100 gym members, protests, and police reports. Still, YMCA management refused to admit there was even a problem. Now, finally, Stonestown YMCA has posted new restrictive locker-room rules: “Nudity should be discreet, limited, and brief…” And suddenly, the man is nowhere to be seen. No other Bay Area YMCA appears to have these rules. This policy is targeted purely at the women of Stonestown, who are now being subjected to strange new restrictions because the state of California protects a man’s right to expose himself in the women’s locker room instead of protecting women and children. Women complained about a naked man in their locker room. The YMCA responded by policing women.

He's telling the truth. It's not that there aren't any genuinely homeless people, but the vast majority of them are addicts who are abusing the system.

You should listen to this episode.

"I will be a God to you and to your children." (Gen 17:7)

ICYMI: “Anointing signifies the election and good pleasure of the Lord. By anointment, the Lord sets one apart as pleasing to him and for the sacred purposes of the Lord. Through anointing, though, God actually confirms blessings.” –Zach Keele @RScottClark @heidelcast @heidelbergrefo1 buff.ly/333b0VE

Excellent testimony, though under different circumstances I had to unlearn a hodgepodge of beliefs and frameworks for understanding Scripture and learn the Confessionally Covenantal Reformed over time. @RScottClark was extremely helpful in this.
