Six ingredients of true repentance: 1. Sight of sin 2. Sorrow for sin 3. Confession of sin 4. Shame for sin 5. Hatred of sin 6. Turning from sin — Thomas Watson (1620–1686)

J. Gresham Machen on the Sermon on the Mount: "Jesus plainly put His own words on an equality with what He certainly regarded as the divine words of Scripture; He claimed the right to legislate for the Kingdom of God." Christianity and Liberalism

@CharlesAVaughn Love this truth

"[L]iberalism is altogether in the imperative mood, while Christianity begins with a triumphant indicative; liberalism appeals to man's will, while Christianity announces, first, a gracious act of God." J. Gresham Machen, Christianity and Liberalism

“If you are in Christ, you are safe. You may be in a storm, but you are in the Ark." -R.C. Sproul

The real trouble about the duty of forgiveness is that you do it with all your might on Monday and then find on Wednesday that it hasn't stayed put and all has to be done over again. C. S. Lewis, June 1960 letter

Happy Lord’s Day

@AmandaGeaney Amen

But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works. Psalm 73:28 ESV

"Christian experience is rightly used when it confirms the documentary evidence. But it can never possibly provide a substitute for the documentary evidence." J. Gresham Machen, Christianity and Liberalism

@espinoza_dy I'm with you🤣🤣

Okay, so…. Following me on X means I will edit a post several times and still, it might not make sense. It’s ok, just laugh with me. 😂

More of this please

To recap: 1. A serial violent offender shot a homeless woman in Austin and basically went home and said on his own Nest camera that he just killed and told his woman to clean up the blood. The DA let him go. 2. I posted about it on X, which led CBS News to ask Garza, who was forced to put out a perfunctory statement 10 days ago about hearts being with victims family etc etc. 3. CBS News asked Garza about the victim yesterday and Garza appeared to be focused about what was even being asked. Basically said the case doesn't ring a bell, and went on to say that the real problems of public safety have to do with high gas prices and not enough government social services to help people economically. Her name was Kelly Meazell. She was 35.

I read everywhere about the 'hard right' This the term used to describe people who are Islamosceptic - that is, people who are doubtful about the merits of a religion that demands child marriage, the beating of women, and death to all who oppose it Perhaps 'sensible right' would be a better description

A “card-carrying dispensationalist” pastor was the first to make me see that the whole Bible fit together and that every word was true. An anti-Calvinist Arminian showed me to how to do personal evangelism while in college. An ERAS/EFS-teaching theologian introduced me to systematic theology with his best-selling single-volume systematic. These are but a few examples of saints the Lord has used in my life to help me grow in my love for God and his word. Today, I depart from each of them on important subjects—even strongly in some regards. But I cannot be anything but grateful for the way that the Lord has used all kinds of faithful, Jesus-loving believers to bring me where I am today. How could my posture toward such saints, even in disagreement, be anything but one that reflects the Lord’s kindness to me through them?

@WonderWomaNinja One feast day isn't a sin. Christ died to fulfill the law on our behalf. Your sins are forgiven Your body may rebel against you today but be gracious to yourself.

I was about to get on here and confess to yall that I didn’t have any self control today at my daughter’s birthday party. . 🥳 It’s not entirely true though. I had some self control. Is some self control enough? Did I sin by allowing myself to indulge in more than I would have otherwise? 🤔. I felt disgusting tonight I’ll tell you that. I’ll probably be hurting tomorrow. I’m trying to go back and think of what I consumed, and honestly it’s not all that bad.. it really was probably the equivalent of a whole big donut 🍩 plus one Trader Joe’s ice cream 🍦 bon bon.. 😬 a slice of cheese pizza 🍕 and one with meat and veggies, and a bowl of salad 🥗. Man yall should see the donuts this place had. Wow. More in comments. Ok, after hashing that out on here I don’t feel as bad about it. 😂 it’s because I kept having a slice here and a slice there bit by bit (I didn’t intend on having any really 😬) it felt like more. Thank you for working through this with me. 😂 It did feel like there could be a sermon illustration in here. 🧐 the devil was trying to get me to feel guilt where there was no reason to! Ok I’ll show you what I ate yesterday in comments

@WojoKen Amen!

Happy Lord's Day! Pray for your Pastor. Pray for your church. Pray for other pastors and other churches. Worship the Lord.

I want this sticker

"The Bible, to the Christian, is not a burdensome law, but the very Magna Charta of Christian liberty." J. Gresham Machen, Christianity and Liberalism

Continued prayers needed!
