The gospel really is unique in its simplicity: "Repent and believe in Jesus and you will be saved," apart from good works, religious institutions, or anything else. Come with nothing in your hands. Cling to the cross. Look and live.

“I’ve known many nice and respectful people who’ve told me in discussion that they believe in God, but the moment that I point out to them about what the Bible tells us about God they show their bitterness. They show their hatred.” Martyn-Lloyds Jones @TheMLJTrust

I see people lamenting the lack of "evangelical elites" so here's my perspective: I graduated from Princeton summa cum laude and then went to UC Berkeley for a PhD in theoretical chemistry. My career was all planned out: awards, academia, prestige. Then I became a Christian 1/

Was at the WH Correspondents dinner last night, a rare DC trip for me without a subpoena. On the positive side—was exciting, no one was killed, and ended early. I noted a new litmus for status among the gov’t elite—whether you were whisked away by secret service, or left to fend.

“To expect christian conduct and behavior from people who are not christian is sure lunacy. It’s impossible. It can’t be done.” Martyn-Lloyd Jones @TheMLJTrust

When I was growing up, I thought Christianity was the 'easy' religion because it doesn't mandate fasting, have explicit dietary requirements, require a certain amount of prayers per day, etc. Over time, I've learned that consistently walking with Christ is difficult. The bar is much higher than modern norms and cultural standards.

““If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you.” John 15:18-20 NLT #IDONTEVENBELONGHERE🫶🏾🙏🏾💜 #ThankYouJESUS

No, Christianity does not promote or require socialism. And it is not at odds with capitalism. The idea that socialism is a biblical model requires you to ignore the difference between willing generosity and forced redistribution. When the early church in Acts shared resources, it was voluntary; it wasn't mandated by the state. Peter acknowledged private property rights and so did the ten commandments. Stealing is only wrong if private property ownership is a given. Same with coveting. All virtues require freedom, including charity. Socialism removes the freedom and kills the virtue. If the state takes your wealth and gives it to someone else, you've been taxed. You haven't been "generous" because it had nothing to do with your heart. Capitalism creates wealth — so there's something to share — and respects our individual freedom to share it. The charity that results from the wealth that's created is real charity; it's actually an act of loving one's neighbor. And it isn't just theoretical or idealistic. Free markets paired with Christian values have produced the wealthiest, freest, and most generous societies in history.

Christ is NOT like Muhammad or Buddha Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones: "So when I find the thieves and robbers being accepted into the church and their views being tolerated and praised, surely I'm bound to protest. The point is this, that Christ, we claim, I claim, is unique. You mustn't put anybody near him. You mustn't mention him in the same category as Confucius or the Buddha or Muhammad or anybody else. Why not? Because he is the only begotten son of God. This isn't my theory. This is Christianity. This is what the apostles preached. They preached Jesus and the resurrection. Now take a man like the apostle Paul. He is a Pharisee, resented all this. The Pharisees regarded Christ as a blasphemer. Who is this fellow? How can this man teach, never having learned himself? Who is this man who claims to be equal with God? And Saul of Tarsus persecuted the church and he hated Christ. He says so. But then he came to see that this was the Lord of glory and he preached nothing else."

Jesus to his disciples today:

“Today’s is a reminder that our Christian faith is based solidly up on facts and events in history.” Martyn Lloyd-Jones @TheMLJTrust

“A Christian *is* something before he does anything; and we have to *be* Christian before we can act as Christians.” ~Martyn Lloyd-Jones

“The intellectual arguments that are put up are nothing but a camouflage to conceal the immorality and the sinfulness of our daily lives and living. It’s sure prejudice.” @TheMLJTrust

“However advanced, developed, learned, wealthy, and important nations may be, they will never know peace while they are wicked. And wicked means, of course, this wrong relationship to God.” @TheMLJTrust

“Modern man is tremendously interested in personality. And yet when you ask him to look at the greatest personality this world has ever seen or ever will see, Jesus of Nazareth the Son of God, he turns his head away in disgust. He won’t even look at him.” @TheMLJTrust

The Bible is not a self help book. It's a die to self book.
