🚨 WOW! Rural counties in Virginia are seeing HUGE TURNOUT in the redistricting vote today, VA sources tell Daily Wire Polling stations are “Presidential-level busy” GREAT news! Keep turning out, Republicans! 🇺🇸 DON’T LET THE DEMS STEAL HOUSE SEATS! 🔥

I built a site with 200+ works of Reformed theology, Latin works translated into English for the first time, and a personal library you can search with AI. You shouldn't need a PhD and a research library to read Zanchi. The sources belong to the church. Here's what it does 🧵

A great pleasure to hang out with @HwsEleutheroi. last night. When I was a lot younger James was very formative for me. Among a list of names who really introduced me into the world of things like New Testament studies, biblical manuscripts, Reformed theology, and apologetics, was James. Very fun to share a meal and talk shop. And yes, I did give him a Wes Huff manuscript facsimile.

Well it's true!

The most important book I've read this year just got banned from Amazon. If you want to read the book that best explains how mass migration has destroyed the West, read The Camp of the Saints. Buy it at @VaubanBooks.

@HallClayton It’s a privilege to know such a despicable man, brother. 😂 praying for you Clay, press on. “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad,… — Matthew 5:11-12

Strange times we’re living in. KY House Rep Nancy Tate, who supports laws that keep abortion legal for moms, said I am part of a bloodthirsty band of human wolves, casting her to hell, I desire to destroy pro-life activists with my hatred —oh, and I’m also a slanderer apparently.

Yesterday, Representative Nancy Tate publicly slandered my friend, Pastor Clay Hall. I want you to read what she said and know why her words deserve a clear answer. open.substack.com/pub/jerrydorri…

@MichaelCarlino Just finished this book. So fantastic.

“The doctrine that God is incomparable is useful to God’s people by way of comfort. When we take the incomparable God as our God, we are incomparably blessed. People are as happy or miserable as the god whom they serve, for nothing can provide more happiness than it has in itself. Those who serve the flesh as their god are miserable (Rom. 16:18; Phil. 3:18) because their god is vile, weak, deceitful, and transitory (Pss. 49:20; 73:25; Isa. 31:3; Jer. 17:9). Similarly, those who prize the world as their god are miserable because their god is vain, troublesome, uncertain, and fleeting (Eccl. 1:2–3; 5:10; 1 Cor. 7:29–31; 1 Tim. 6:9–10). But those who have an interest in this great God are happy: ‘Happy is that people, whose God is the LORD’ (Ps. 144:15).” —George Swinnock

Coming soon…

@crwiley1962 Congratulations! Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD. The LORD bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life! May you see your children’s children! Peace be upon Israel! — Psalm 128:4-6

Our 7th grandchild was born yesterday--another boy. We now have 8 grandchildren, all under 5 years of age. (The 8th—a boy—is due in August.) We're very thankful.

Watched the French-Stuckey debate. My main takeaway: The whole debate centered upon a truth-emotion continuum. I think Allie Beth came out ahead for one main reason that colors every issue debated: She indexes her understanding of emotion and empathy on a biblical axis, whereas French elevates emotion and empathy to a disproportionate degree. The consequence is to unmoor emotion from truth. There's simply a difference in rhetorical strategy: Stuckey focuses more on logos; French on pathos. Along those lines, another reason I think Allie Beth had the stronger hand is that she refuses to play the game of pitting love against truth (1 Cor. 13:6; Eph. 4:15). She's no less interested in kindness or empathy, but properly indexed by Scripture. French's focus on catering to emotional equilibrium (and thus hewing to progressive niceties) requires him to blur biblical categories. Biblical ethics requires both logos and pathos, but our loves must be ordered and governed with a proper foundation. And notably, French's empathy tends in one direction, toward those to his left. In short, Allie Beth focused on objectivity, reason, and right and wrong as the grounds of what constitutes love and kindness, whereas French's instinct is to defer to emotion and aesthetics.

I wouldn’t advocate that it not be held in other locations from time to time. But I would say, frequency matters, and messengers matter. Also, vacationers should just stay home, or do so prior to or after attending to business.

Excellent reformed treatment of the demonic & how to deal with it. Avoids the errors of rationalism & hyper-cessationism, while also keeping away from the goofy & weird. Banner of Truth

78% of SBC churches are located in the South Central and South East US.

What KIND of churches are we planting matters just as much as the number of churches we hope to plant. Let’s try to be faithful to the text when God blatantly tells us that He has called men to pastor these churches.

You are not going to believe this Utah Supreme Court ruled against a Republican-led amendment tied to a redistricting effort... just TWO weeks after a judge attended a party at the home of the lawyer who fought against it She’s now UNDER INVESTIGATION for allegedly having a romantic relationship with this lawyer. Nothing to see here…

🇬🇧 We asked Brits where the UK ranks vs US states in income per person. Average answer: 7th. Wealthier than 43 states. The reality: 51st. Dead last. Below Mississippi. Below Arkansas. Below every single US state. 🧵
