Tom Buck (Five Point Buck)

J C Ryle said there are two marks of the true Christian: His inner warfare and his inner peace.

@RockWallBibles @StandardBible Like it? I love it!!!

@TomBuck @StandardBible Glad you like it, thanks!

Many thanks to @RockWallBibles for binding this @StandardBible (LSB) Shepherd’s Bible for me. It’s absolutely a beautiful piece of craftsmanship! Pueblo Gray Cowhide.

In this protected country in Southeast Asia, the Christian church has suffered war and persecution. For many decades, its most urgent challenge was survival. But today, the need of the church is no longer only physical survival; it is theological clarity—the gospel of Jesus Christ, clearly and boldly proclaimed. Watch the full Update From The Field, "Clarity for the Church in Southeast Asia" on our YouTube channel to see how HeartCry is seeking to clearly and boldly support the proclamation of the gospel in this country.

@RealTheoBro @WeatherNation We are. Widow in our church, her house was destroyed but she was not injured.

@WeatherNation Are y'all ok @TomBuck ??

#BREAKING: A tornado was spotted churning through East Texas in the town of Lindale just earlier! Damage to homes & structures has been reported within the community. #TXwx

HE IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED! Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it... And the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said." - Matthew 28:1-6

@MatthewMonfore Maybe next year.

@TomBuck Bro. Amen. My aunt survived one before too *aside I saw you at Shep Con. And was trying to figure out who you were... by the time I did it was too late lol. Sorry I missed meeting you.

Tornado hit the home of one of our church members today. She was home but thankfully the Lord was gracious and no one was hurt.

@ShinarSquirrel It was such an honor to be able to sit down with John MacArthur for this discussion!

.@TomBuck recorded this interview with John MacArthur less than a year before John went to heaven. Every preacher should watch it! And take notes! vimeo.com/1109682394?fe=…

"Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our peace fell upon Him, And by His wounds we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But Yahweh has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him." - Isaiah 53:4-6

Justin Taylor and Andreas Kostenberger contend in their book “The Last Days of Jesus” that the most likely historical date for the crucifixion of Jesus was April 3, 33 AD. It’s a debatable point of course, but I find it interesting. If true, Jesus died 1993 years ago today.

@gmk_julie @JenniferBuck65 I’m actually the sweet jingle in her ears.

@JenniferBuck65 Isn't that what @TomBuck is for?

My washing machine sings to me. It plays a little jingle when it starts and went it stops. I don’t like it. Laundry is not a light jingle in the day. Give me a flat buzz that shouts, “hey, get over here and do your job!”

“Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace.” - Thomas Watson

"The more we know about God, the more we are confident that the striving and the fighting are worth it." - Paul Washer

@covapologetics I honestly don’t understand what you’re trying to get at. You can DM me if you want.

@TomBuck Simply questioning whether anyone should marry a former promiscuous woman is a much lesser degree of rejection than actually refusing to marry them. You have a problem with the former but not the latter?

For the record… Someone’s past should always be heavily factored in when deciding to marry someone. Biblical standards always direct who you marry. God can radically change someone who had a sordid past. No one is obligated to marry him/her. No one should be shamed for doing so, if he/she evidences a transformed life and they seek and heed godly counsel to think through the decision biblically and thoroughly.

@covapologetics That’s clearly covered by the words, “not obligated to do so.” There would never be any shame for not doing something you’re not obligated to do.

@TomBuck Should anyone be shamed for not doing so?

My original “take” was as simply an observation from my preaching through Joshua and the beautiful story of redemption of Rahab. I stand by every word I said about it. And even when I explained, people refused to listen and lie about what I said. People assigned motives to what I said and added more to it than I did say. I made this post because I wanted something clearly on the record that wasn’t buried in a thread of replies.

This is a reasonable take. You could have just STARTED with this take, it is well reasoned and grounded in scriptural wisdom. However, it seems that many among the pastorate bends over backwards to appease and supplicate to women in nearly all of their messaging. Men don’t want supplication, we want the Truth. You can soften some of the harsher truths if you feel the overwhelming need, but the Truth needs to be the basis.

@jaysonyork @ridgewallet I thought you didn’t have to comment on everything?!

@TomBuck @ridgewallet Probably euthanasia is the only solution

@ridgewallet The screws have just fallen out of the back of my wallet. Is this common and how is it fixed?
