Jesus crashes into our life two ways: come and live and then go and die. @rayortlund

This old building once housed the legislative branch of government before it was just folded into the executive branch.

It’s that time of year again! In my US government class students have to create a campaign poster and a 1 to 2 minute campaign commercial for an office that they choose themselves. Here’s the best of this year’s posters. It’s a little bit bittersweet because this is my last year teaching this class.

@rhyneputman Trolling is a sin.

South Carolina mourns the tragic loss of Greenwood Police Department Officer Don “DJ” Keller, who was killed in the line of duty yesterday. Peggy and I ask South Carolinians to join us in praying for his loved ones and the Greenwood community. In honor of his sacrifice, I will order the flags above the Statehouse to be lowered to half-staff on the day of his funeral.

Long after I’m gone… remember, people — you can’t get in a fight with a robot ump. This is American exceptionalism.

Bobby Cox throws a first pitch. Ejected. 👍🏼 RIP legend ⚾️✝️

If you are at @ACMEFellowship HMU. Would love to meet you!

After a short break, The Front Porch returns! This week: The Africa Statement on the Prosperity Gospel Government by the Ghoulish Two Cheers for Religion gwdbaptist.org/the-front-porch

This Sunday we have the honor of having John Musyimi speak and preach for us. John is the lead pastor of North Point Baptist Church in Nairobi, Kenya. He is also one of the primary authors of the Africa Statement on the Prosperity Gospel, an important document he helped write in response to this distortion of the gospel that has become prominent in Africa (and in the United States). Join us at 9:30 during Sunday School for John's testimony and teaching on what the prosperity gospel is and how spiritually destructive it is for those who embrace it. At our 10:30 worship gathering he will preach from Jeremiah 29:1-14, a commonly distorted passage by prosperity gospel preachers. In all of this we will see that Christ is for his church and desires her doctrinal purity as she shares the true beauty of the gospel. The Africa Statement on the Prosperity Gospel can be read here: africastatement.org/wp-content/upl…

@Farcedelafarce @SecRubio lol. Fair Mrs. B’ot.

@WMatthewDavis @SecRubio It's " Mrs" , and i'd prefer the spelling B'ot, that would turn it into a Miracle ( multi Lingually speaking) 😎 .

@Farcedelafarce @SecRubio Great canned answer Mr. Bot!

@WMatthewDavis @SecRubio Bots= Robot, from Russian Rabochiye via Czech Robota, meaning Laborer/Servant I serve no one but HeWhoIsAndWillRemainForever .

@Seth_Troutt I can’t wait! Pre-ordered from Amazon and they delayed it until Monday lol.

THANK YOU for those of you started reading Authentic Masculinity yesterday! and to those of you who aren't, I hope you have some HOLY FOMO

@Farcedelafarce @SecRubio Like you Mr. Bot?

@SecRubio This was a PrePrepped Question with a memorized pre-prepped answer & it's nowadays done using AI quite often, with an Ai created version of a Press Conference aka Nothing is REAL .

@MeeplePastor Nothing to prepare. Whatever it is, if it is anything, is demonic. I think of our people will be like “duh”.

Which pastors, exactly? How do you make the cut? I mean, I'm a pastor and no one briefed me 🤷🏼

“Many will say to me, Lord, Lord, did we not defend orthodoxy online in your name?” @danielmcgaha1 in the chat this morning.

@CT_Lenard This is great! Would I be able to get the Word file for this?

I’ve spent a few years tweaking my sermon prep process to be more balanced, efficient, clear, and replicable. The images below show the sermon prep template I’ve been using for the past year ( which has been really enjoyable and helpful to me). I use the same 7 questions from the @simeontrust worksheets, but have added helpful insights I’ve gained from: 1️⃣ @jasonderouchie & @AndyNaselli’s helpful books “How to Understand and Apply the OT/NT: Twelve Steps from Exegesis to Theology.” 2️⃣Steve Wellum and @TrentHunter’s “Christ from Beginning to End” 3️⃣ @dandoriani’s excellent book on application “Putting the Truth to Work.” My chart is a summary of his main ideas. 4️⃣ @jeremypierre’s excellent work “The Dynamic Heart in Daily Life.” The heart image comes from his book. 5️⃣As for sermon outline and delivery, @tonymerida’s “Christ-Centered Expositor” has shaped me most.

@EWErickson Same thing that happened to Sasse in Nebraska.

What a weird world. Kemp dominated a primary in 2022 against the Trump machine. He crushed Abrams in the general. He got the Religious Freedom Restoration Act passed, banned boys in girls' sports, passed the fetal heartbeat ban, enacted school choice, etc. But weirdos hate him.
