The Marrow Men were right.

Any season of transition can be difficult. The narratives and communications circulating about us on social media over the past few days have made this season even more difficult for us and our family. We want to express our deep gratitude for the twelve years we spent at Reformation Bible College and Ligonier Ministries. We are thankful for that time and for the people we had the privilege to serve. We also appreciate that both RBC and Ligonier have conducted themselves in an amicable, gracious, and honorable manner during this season of transition, and we have sought to do the same. Since others have shared their version of events, we believe it is appropriate to share ours. In January 2024, we learned from the counselor of our daughter, Grace, that he had submitted a report to the Florida Department of Children and Families of suspicion of sexual abuse of Grace by Stephen Adams. On January 10, 2025, we reported suspicion of sexual abuse of our daughter by Stephen Adams to Saint Andrew’s Chapel. Over subsequent meetings, we realized that we were at an impasse with our church and that we had different perspectives on how to handle this situation. On April 21, 2025, we notified a pastor at Saint Andrew’s that we would begin the process of finding a new church. We notified him again on July 20, 2025, that it would be our last Sunday (and it was). We each received separate indictments two days later, July 22, 2025. We were accused of slander, unresolved anger, collusion to deceive, failure to follow session directives, and breach of membership vows. There was never a trial, and our case was never adjudicated. After Saint Andrew’s Chapel voted to disassociate from the PCA on December 14, 2025, we immediately resigned our memberships. On Sunday evening, December 14, we joined New Hope PCA in Eustis, Florida, by testimony. On January 27, 2026, Saint Andrew’s found us guilty of contumacy, which is the failure to submit to the authority of the church and refusal to appear before the church. Afterwards on February 25, 2026, at their request, we met with a committee of the session to answer any questions and hopefully bring some resolution to our differences. On March 10, 2026, Saint Andrew’s excommunicated us, not on the underlying indictments, but for contumacy. We remain members in good standing at New Hope and are grateful for the love, care, and support of our pastors and our church during this season. We reported suspicion of sexual abuse of our daughter, we ended up indicted, and we ended up excommunicated. We are deeply saddened by all that has taken place and grieved for everyone involved. Our prayer and hope is that the central issue will not be lost. At the heart of this issue is the suspected sexual abuse of our daughter. —Stephen and Heidi Nichols

@warne You just need a bow tie and a brightly colored sport coat and you’re packed for GA.

St. Patrick’s Day green AND aggressively white soled dress shoes. Might get my presby card revoked.

I can register to vote at the DMV when I get a drivers license. Maybe the DMV should start handing out free AR15s

@NFL_DovKleiman All that and only 60,000 seats?

𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: The Bills' new stadium is nearly finished ahead of schedule for the 2026 NFL season... • $2.1 billion cost • 1.35 million square feet • 60,000-seat capacity • Real heated grass One of the nicest stadiums we have ever seen.

Can I tell you for a second how good God is to the downtrodden?

Don’t turn sanctification into a covenant of works. Growth in holiness is not probation. It’s a gift and the road we walk until we receive in full what we were given by grace before growth began - even when we were enemies of God.

Marvelous grace of our loving Lord. Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt. Yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured. There where the blood of the Lamb was split. Grace, grace matchless grace. It's the only hope.

@_BenLee @JoeGibbons84

In what can only be explained as a momentary, but significant lapse in judgment I introduced my children to the Hamster Dance song on Alexa. Please help me.

@stephenspin @JoeGibbons84 next...

@JoeGibbons84 Oh, they were into the Gummy Bear DEEP. Raining Tacos, too.

I am not a Purdue fan, but I do love college ball. This is very impressive - even with the unfortunate losses.

@LeaderJohnThune Get it passed, @LeaderJohnThune. No excuses

Next week, I will bring the SAVE America Act to the floor. Senate Democrats will be forced to defend their outrageous positions on these issues and explain to the American people why common sense and the Democrat Party have parted ways.

@warne Weak. So weak. He probably never preached a sermon worth listening to. Probably was an antinomian lib.

What a dweeb, that Spurgeon dude.

SOMETHING ABOUT SABBATICALS

We used to have Freeney and Mathis. At the same time. For years. Now we have a guy who has 8.5 sacks in 4 seasons.

Go for a run they said. It will be good for you they said.

The "final justification" crowd doesn't think you should preach the gospel to dying believers, but wants to make sure you double check your works to ensure you've done enough. Im shocked.

If he wont come down to a reasonable contract, then Ballard is right to let him go. I hope this is just a ploy to get 40 mil. Otherwise, see ya, buddy.

A new line added to my will: whoever lets Paul Washer come see me on my death bed gets nothing.

@nocoradio Despicable

Give Christians the gospel on their death beds, not law.
