"[In Titus 1:2] Paul speaks of a 'promise' made by God 'before the ages began.' This promise concerns 'eternal life,' and is rooted in God’s unchanging character. It is worth asking, if God makes a promise before time, to whom is he making the promise if not to himself? This is what is meant by the pactum salutis—an intra-Trinitarian plan/promise concerning salvation." –– Jesse Johnson @jarbitro

I will never forget the first time I saw this sign - February 7, 1999. I stepped onto GCC’s campus as a prospective seminary student. It’s still hasn’t set in fully that John MacArthur is no longer the Pastor-Teacher here, even if the sign now reflects that reality. #ShepCon2026

@jaysonyork Dude think how many hands have touched that… i would not do the snack option.

I’d love to ask all the folks who think this wrong for some reason answer this question: “What should a minister do with the bread and wine/juice after the communion service is over? What should happen to it?” I’d be willing to be that “throw it away” would be most common.

Even the “debunking” angle can’t avoid exposing how bad it is.

@joe_rigney @Pastor_Gabe EFS is contradicotry, so yes, many EFS proponents hold "one will," and yes that makes EFS impossible. Wilson has taught and blogged on EFS if EFS is defined as trinitarian personal distinctions being relations of authority and submission.

Here are his words, not out of context but in a statement of affirmations and denials on the subject: "We affirm that the Son and Spirit in their respective missions reveal the authority and order of God the Father from all eternity. We deny that within the Godhead this authority and obedience contained any tension, distance, conflict, friction, or resistance whatsoever." A careful eye will not the insertion of authority and obedience into eternal generation there (as he makes clear in that same statement). That is EFS. Taxis = not EFS. Taxis + authority = EFS

It’s very difficult to get so much wrong in one tweet, but Dr. Yarnell was up to the task. 1) As CBS pointed out, Colbert didn’t want to give equal airtime to Talarico’s opponent Jasmine Crockett, and so didn’t broadcast the interview on television. 2) Doug is orthodox on the Trinity, affirming Nicea, Chalcedon, and Westminster straight no chaser. Doug did read Rushdoony with benefit, so he’s closer on that one. But if this is the caliber of theological education and cultural application at Southwestern Seminary, some folks need to be asking for their money back.

This is what happened to us on January 18. wng.org/opinions/when-…

Baptizing is accomplished by immersion, not pouring. Theology matters and can help us avoid mistakes like this.

Whenever someone asks me "what is your favorite Christian movie?" i always answer: The Apostle. While I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, Duvall captured gospel urgency, redepmption, and a confidence in God's Word that can restore a ruined life. Plus he baptizes himself... twice

The failure in a section of a 72-inch sewer pipe in MD, has release of close to a billion gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac river just inside the Beltway It’s now considered the LARGEST spill of wastewater in U.S. history MD & VA Dems haven’t said a word.

@DavidAFrench This is an excellent, balanced take on the Lemon case.

Good morning. Saying that God is sovereign over his emotions is incoherent because it implies (1) that God is distinct from his emotions and (2) that God’s emotions are subjects that God rules (and therefore that they are not God). Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@Pastor_Gabe @HansFiene In fairness, most can't talk yet, much less eat pizza.

@HansFiene Never done it like that exactly. But you just baptize people you never talked with about it?

Baptists be like “water baptism doesn’t save, so come over to my home house for some pizza food and sit on my furniture couch and I will tell you more about it.”

Greenland deploying their weather on us was an unexpected first strike.

If you hadn't been to Fort Sumter in the last 30 years or so, you might not appreciate this story. The sign was along the rocks outside the Fort warning that climate change was raising sea levels and endangering the Fort... the fort could be overcome in a matter of decades, the sign said... a fort that has literally been at sea level for 200 years. Honestly that sign probably did more to mock global warming than "raise awareness"

@ChristKirkDC @bonniekristian This was one of the guys in that video from Monday we interacted about.

To those who have visited or attend Christ Church DC this man is familiar. For months he has been treating our worshipers to his limited and repetitive vocabulary. We celebrate the civil magistrate executing their duty to protect our right to worship by arresting William Kelly We thank @AGPamBondi @FBIDirectorKash @KristiNoem for their efforts. @WhiteHouse @DCPoliceDept @ReneeKCarlson @doug_wardlow

ABOUT FACE: Minnesota AG Keith Ellison has called for the use of the FACE Act to prosecute protests at mosques, according to @FreeBeacon review. Now, Ellison insists the FACE Act shouldn't apply to Don Lemon and comrades' storming of a church. freebeacon.com/democrats/they…

I wrote a post giving a quick summary of the laws protecting chruches when they gather for worship:
