Only one religion is based on a single, testable, historical event. If you haven’t at least considered the evidence for the resurrection, NOW is the time.

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded... Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. James 4:8, 10 CSB

President ⁦@RobertJMatz⁩ ⁦@HLGuniversity⁩ reports to ⁦@mobaptists⁩ Exec Board on victory in DEd case, protecting religious freedom for all church-affiliated schools. With atty ⁦@jrwhitehead⁩

This settlement is a necessary victory, not a complete one. Students were harmed. Churches were put at risk. The fact that the University had to sue at all is a reminder that religious freedom requires constant vigilance.

This case was about if Christians would be free to educate the next generation in faithfulness—without the government forcing them to cut ties with the very churches that make the University’s mission possible. HLGU stood because standing was required. hlg.edu/hlgu-settlemen…

Excited to jump into this new volume on the person and work of the Word by @MusingsOnChrist Thankful that @BHAcademic is providing systematic resources that are accessible to every Christian.

@CFBONFOX Vandy, best QB in the country. Would beat any of these on a neutral field

Which team deserves a spot in the CFP more? 🏆🤔

@DanielRitchie My dad led me to Christ when I was 8 through a steps to peace with God gospel tract.

I'm working on a project my state convention and I need your help. For those of you who've confessed Jesus as Lord - on the day you took that step of faith, what was the biggest deciding factor for your in that moment? Was it family ties/conversations, church event, personal invitation from a friend, something you saw online/TV? Was it something completely different?

The secret is not finding a perfect church. It is staying long enough to love the imperfect one.

It’s all about Jesus.

Please pray with us that God would move powerfully @HLGuniversity this week.

Each fall @HLGuniversity I have the privilege of welcoming new students to our university underneath the historic arch and then leading graduates out back under this arch each spring. It's going to be a great year!

@claysmith79 Most don't know.

Theology question: Do you think the majority of present-day evangelicals subscribe to some form of dispensationalism OR some form of covenantalism?

We will not stand by as federal policy erodes the very foundations on which our institutions are built.

This is a pivotal moment—not only for HLGU, but for the principle of religious self-governance in American higher education. Christian universities should not be forced to choose between their faith and their future.

Why I’m asking the Department of Education to protect religious liberty at Christian universities mbcpathway.com/2025/05/07/hlg…

@claysmith79 Clay, @JerrySutton and I wrote a short one as part of volume 2 of Zondervan's series on A Legacy of Preaching. a.co/d/0BX1EAw

Baptist Historians: Does anyone know of a modern biography on B.H. Carroll? His life is fascinating. If there isn't one, it would be great if someone would write one. I think he is, in many ways, a wonderful model for ministry today.

Headlines I read this morning: “markets sink” (AP), “markets implode” (AP), “stocks set for another miserable day” (CNN), and my personal favorite “economic nuclear winter” (BBC). I checked on what historically have been my very best investments. Not a penny lost.

"I'm going to be a lot more intentional about sharing the Gospel." Love hearing these @HLGuniversity students report about sharing the Gospel over Spring Break.
