@PastorTrey05 Yep.

Beloved, the Gospel IS political. Radical, even. #TheologizinBigger #GodStillLovesTheWorld

@lecrae I'm so tired of this evangelical jargon that sounds good but communicates nothing. This is gospel reductionism + it's crazy to think even in heaven he thinks people will still be thinking about deprevity. Lol.

Heaven is not full of good people. Heaven is full of people who know they’re not good enough. - Wes Huff

@IAmJustinRucker @Protestia self righteous

@Protestia Anyone who has spent a significant amount of time in the trenches doing outreach knows this is obviously a massive win.

On Feb 22, Josh Howerton of Lakepointe Church makes an impassioned plea for the common-law couples and couples shackin' up in his church to get married at their church in a mass wedding celebration in a few weeks time. 🧵

@Protestia @CR_RefBapt 1. The whole I'm dine bit was probably fine every service. 2. That's the problem. 30k members. That's not a church. It's a crowd. Very little people really known. 3. Teaching people to obey is not teaching them to follow. Celebrating the law.

@CR_RefBapt When you're a growing church with 30,000 people attending at varying stages of their Christian walk, from aged saints celebrating 70 years of marriage to 20-year-olds with two kids attending for just their fourth time, why would this amount be surprising?

@MattSmethurst @WesleyLHuff @StevenBartlett Even when we are with Jesus we can say we are good.

“Heaven isn’t full of good people. Heaven is full of people who understand they’re not good enough.” —@WesleyLHuff to @StevenBartlett Bold. Clear. Kind.

@RevivedThoughts IMO it boiled down to a gospel of works. Although the message was missions the tone was hyper obedience. It unfortunately left many people struggling to recover physically and spiritually.

This book seems to be hated because it convinced a bunch of people it was a good idea to do missions and be more focused on saving souls than making money. Putting aside the feelings people have on David Platt (legitimate, I think), I have never understood the hate that people have for this book. Or how it could have "ruined" your life.

@RelatablewABS I not saying I agree with critics or complementarianism . But this wording is why people are confused. “ I am not called to be a pastor. I am not called to preach from a pulpit in a local church.” It seems very calculated. Is that the only place your position applies?

Capability does not equal calling. I love communicating and I love the Word of God, but I am not called to be a pastor. I am not called to preach from a pulpit in a local church. That is not my role and it is not a woman’s role. A pastor is not just a preacher. He is a shepherd. A protector. For example, the catastrophe at Cities Church in St. Paul. Pastor Jonathan Parnell took the heat and protected his congregation from the chaos. That is a masculine role. That is a manly role.

@RightWingWatch And many call this man a brother in Christ. Such a shame. We shouldn’t be interacting with his arguments. We should be calling him to repent. If he doesn’t treat him like an unbeliever.

Antisemitic Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon gripes that the United States sided with the communists in Russia during WWII instead of backing the "Christian nation" of Nazi Germany, likening it to the crowd freeing Barabbas while condemning Jesus to death in the Gospels.

@MikeWingerii Perhaps. Similar thought about sickos that created their own.

What kind of sickos organize the Super Bowl halftime shows? And are they in the Epstein files?

@PastorMark Looks like you steeling cable from you neighbor with rat nest of wires.

I need help, my TV is stuck on Telemundo

@RelatablewABS The old argument from silence. We don’t need the Bible to understand what God desire is on earth. Didn’t Jesus tell us to pray the kingdom come. His will be done in earth as in heaven? Maybe not. My bad.

Yes, the kingdom of God is multicultural. No, this doesn’t mean every nation has to represent every culture. Hot take: Nowhere do we see the importance of ethnic diversity within nations or local churches anywhere in Scripture. Does China need more diversity? Yemen? You don’t hear people saying, “China really needs more Black people,” or “Yemen needs more Latinx communities.” America needs more ethnic diversity, but these homogenous countries don’t? Why? This assumption leads some progressives to unknowingly suggest that less whiteness is better or holier. No one's going up to the Hispanic church or the Korean church on the street corner in Plano and questioning why they don’t have more people of Norwegian descent in the pews. But if there's a predominantly white church in a predominantly white area, people show up asking, “Why don't you have more black people here?” The call for diversity is not sincere.

@SowerProject7 @christopheryuan What if he is the Pharisee? Pharisees also believed they were right without equivocation and Jesus was completely wrong. Just food for thought. debating. Also Jesus didn’t debate them because they would not budge. He didn’t because his mission was to save not to debate.

@christopheryuan I think this is a wise point. The Pharisees often tried to get Jesus to debate them which would have legitimized their bad faith arguments, and often he would either be silent or humble them.

Why I Won't Debate Preston Sprinkle Why have we stopped engaging in public debates with those who appear to have a dual agenda? The goal isn't to win an argument, but to protect the clarity of the Gospel. A debate often turns God's truth into a mere "perspective." Truth is an anchor, not a viewpoint. Debating in bad faith doesn't clarify the message, it just gives duplicity a podium to disguise itself as a valid opinion. 👉Watch the full podcast and understand why clarity is more important than conflict! youtube.com/watch?v=Tf03xP… 👉Visit holysexuality.com for more resources like this. #BiblicalTruth #Duplicity #Discipleship #Discernment #FaithCrisis #PrestonSprinkle #Jesus #HolySexuality #Faithfulness #Chastity #Bible #Church #Truth #Christians #Theology #Jesus #Christianity #Sexuality #Marriage

@albertmohler This man loves to hear himself talk.

"It's not so much that I think empathy is wrongly defined. It is the fact that I don't think empathy is a thing. I don't think it's real. It is a substitute for a real Christian morality." From today's edition of The Briefing. You can listen here: ow.ly/vQP950Y8roX

@alisa_childers No we are using the scriptures to defend American policy huh.

Leviticus 19:33-34 is not a proof text for open borders. Since it’s currently being butchered all over the internet, I hope this helps.

@DrFrankTurek At the end of the day it’s not facts that rule lives.

Why do facts often fail to change people's minds?

@sola_chad And…lol

When asked who he thought was greatest Bible teacher of his day, Charlie Kirk said, “John MacArthur.” I couldn’t agree more.

@Protestia I’m not saying I agree but it’s funny how Calvinists get offended at this when they believe that God ordained it. Not much difference.

Todd White says God watches porn alongside you, and waits until you climax, where He then laments: "if he only knew me…if he only knew me. If he only desired to know me, I would be his climax."

@DrFrankTurek I follow Jesus &I think that a sub par response and shift the conversation. 1. My evil doesn’t relieve God of responsibility. 2. This question is usually asked when terrible things happen. Like the loss of a child or genocide, etc. it’s usually others focused.

When you ask the question, "If God exists, why is there evil?", I can almost guarantee you that when you're considering this question, "Why doesn't he stop the evil?", you're thinking about somebody else doing evil. You never think about yourself doing evil, or you rarely do.

@_jonbowlin Definitely when you’re calvinist. lol. I bet you patted yourself on the back when you posted this. Oh the arrogance. Lol

The only correct interpretation of Romans 9 is the Calvinistic one

@ZachWLambert I believe people will look back at this time as a black eye on America, however this is not the example. You should fact check this.

When they teach about this shameful time in America’s history, this picture will be front and center. This is Liam Ramos. He’s a 5-year-old boy in Minnesota who was arrested by ICE and then used as bait to lure his family members into custody—even though they are legal asylum seekers. Liam and his family members have been shipped to an ICE detention center 1200 miles away from their home. His preschool teacher, Ella Sullivan, had this to say about Liam: “He’s a bright young student, and he’s so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him, and all I want is for him to be safe and back here.”
