For those who are interested, I have been doing a sermon series through the Seven Letters in the book of Revelation. My YouTube channel is youtube.com/channel/UCG50G…

Trying to think of something clever and interesting to put here. I'll have to get back to you.

@elijahwood It was a pleasure to meet you and Sean, although very briefly, at Planet ComiCon in Kansas City earlier today. If I can pray for you in any way, please let me know.

@jaysonyork It can be. I mean, hopefully the missionary is saved already, although if wouldn’t be the first time God saved a preacher in the process of preaching. But it can be something God uses to move us towards what He wants to do with us. It can be a catalyst for spiritual growth.

I have to disagree with this. I am an advocate of short-term mission trips. Although I am quite sure some of them are nothing more than a sightseeing opportunity, I know that is not always the case.
Jayson York@jaysonyork
Unpopular pastoral opinion #17 Most short term missions trips serve little/no benefit to anyone. Occasionally disaster relief or specific evangelistic outreaches are impactful. Most trips are Christian tourism or a form of international youth camp Mostly a waste of time/money

@DrFrankTurek ESV. After that, I like the LSB but it has a few quirks. And I like the HCSB (and a little less, the CSB).

@MBLinton @jrwhitehead Also, “any racism that intentionally chooses white people…” = StrawMan.
English
@jrwhitehead @dennisdjackson But I'll tell you what: I'll take whatever of mine that you call and mislabel racism that you also admit is for good, over any racism that intentionally chooses white people because of the belief that black people are inherently bad or unqualified.
English
When people say there's still racism in the SBC, this is it.
"We're the guys who know how to racially discriminate for good."
You'd think the Civil War would've knocked the shine off this belief. But "how can it be wrong if I'm so good" seems to live eternal.
English
@MBLinton @jrwhitehead I can’t speak for Jon, but I would say “good” is your intention, not the actual result. The actual result defies God’s Word which condemns partiality, so it would be the opposite of good.
English
@MBLinton @jrwhitehead At any particular time for any particular job with any given set of applicants, you and I have absolutely no idea what color all the qualified will be. And that’s the point. Should only works if you make color one of the qualifications.
English
@dennisdjackson @jrwhitehead Unless you believe that no one but white men are qualified, then, yes, "should."
English
@MBLinton @jrwhitehead "Should"? Based on no other factor than the color of their skin? How is that different than how pre-Civil War-type racism worked, except for what the preferred colors are?
English
@jrwhitehead "It's pre-Civil War-type racism to believe more than just white men should hold leadership positions in the SBC."
Got it.

@mattnightingale Science isn’t quite as settled as you pretend it is regarding climate change. Also, the proof of any theory like climate change is its ability to predict the future. So far, we still have our coasts in pretty much the same place, there’s been a gain in the ice caps, etc.
English
This is a very common perspective within Christianity. It's so tragic to me that my siblings are so willing to let the earth be destroyed based on their anti-science religious views.
Minnesota House DFL@mnhouseDFL
GOP Rep. Mary Franson says she's not worried about climate change because it's not in the Bible: "If you've read the Good Book, you know how it ends, and it's not with climate change." How can we expect Republicans to do serious work when they're so proud about ignoring science?
English
@MBLinton Choosing a person because they meet a “diversity” criteria and not because they meet the requirements for a job is partiality, which is condemned throughout Scripture.
English
Intentional diversity is a good thing, actually.

Why does the Credentials Committee regularly fail to make the right call and remove churches with female pastors from the SBC? This is why 👇🏼 It’s stacked with DEI-appointments from Greear, Litton, and Barber. The answer is not to get rid of the Credentials Committee, as some are suggesting. That would be a mistake. What we need instead are qualified, Bible-believing, Baptists with wisdom on the CC who are willing to defend our statement of faith.
English
@bartbarber Dr. Rogers taught us that slowly, eventually, all committees get filled by the work and philosophy of the president.
English
I don't know who wrote this post, but whoever it is…
1. Seems not to know how the Credentials Committee is selected.
2. Raised no objections and proposed no alternative members of the committee when it was elected by the messengers.

@masonmennenga @h_um_ble_ We are each capable of doing a great many things. Not all of them are appropriate.
But as for women gifted to teach, God gave them an assignment - teach younger women.
English
@h_um_ble_ why would you think God made women qualified to teach but then can’t?
English
if you can learn the gospel from animated vegetables you can learn the gospel from a woman preaching
English
@masonmennenga Homosexuality is a sin. To say it’s not is false teaching, leading both little and big ones astray. I think your prejudice against Bible-believing Christians prevents you from seeing that we can be and are friends with those who pursue the homosexual lifestyle.
English
even if you believe being gay is a sin (it’s not), jesus was friends with sinners and even protected them from being killed but i don’t see conservative christians doing any of that with LGBTQ people
English
@JoshuaWPowell Not trying to complain, but I am concerned. By comparison, one could say termites are just a small problem for a house, but it wouldn’t take long for that small problem to be devastating. And TBH, with no transparency, I’m not sure how much faithful gospel work we’re getting.
English
Yes! This is our “One sacred effort!” No org. is perfect. But when people judge the whole by the small percentage of problems while overlooking the vast amount of faithful gospel work being done, it often reveals a heart looking to complain not give thanks!

If the primary reason we come together is to cooperate for missions and education: being at IMB, meeting our church planters, and being on campus at any of our seminaries, helps you to see that things are going very well.
English
@deaninserra @DustinDeVito We seem to be struggling with that “like-minded” thing, if we can’t even pass a simple thing like the Law Amendment. Also, I think there’s probably one seminary that would fall outside of this bubble. But it’s probably best I’m not in PR.
English
Notice I said “primary,” not only, but certainly primary. People can certainly have different opinions on what is and is not disclosed financially to the public outside of the trustees. I also think our convention of churches is very “like-minded” on the essentials that make us baptist. A visit to our seminaries and meeting our missionaries makes that very clear. The things we support together.

@philipnation I’d like to finish the one I started on Exodus. After that, either I Peter or Jude.
English
If you could write and publish a book or commentary on any book of the Bible, which one and why?
English
@farmingandJesus I’ve never really looked into polls on this topic, mainly because polls are absolutely irrelevant on a subject God has addressed. Women are not to be pastors, and if they think they are called to be a pastor, it’s not God who is doing the calling. God is not double-minded.
English
I would like to hear from you guys. This guy below (love him but disagree with him)
Say the polls are in his favor of his belief that women are called to be pastors. What say you church?
Should women be pastors?
TTB Media ✝️🇺🇸🇮🇱@THETECHBOYorg
@farmingandJesus Not really. The polls r in my favor
English
@LearnALessig @BaptistLeaders @jchasedavis What a really strange thing to say. And vacuous. Do you have anything of substance to contribute?
English
@BaptistLeaders @jchasedavis This is the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen you publish and that is a high bar
English
Dear Pastor: You might not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you and your church—especially if you live in a Blue State
