@Paula_White your discernment must be a bag of rocks if you don’t know that there have been multiple credible accounts of serious sexual misconduct by Eddie James against young men in his ministry for years with multiple charismatic leaders aware of it. churchleaders.com/news/2214265-o…

@Buttars9129 @HonestYPTweets The biblical definition of salvation is to confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord. Romans 10:9 Not a prophet, not a teacher, not a good man. The Lord. It is important.

Yes those are all titles of His but your one 100 percent incorrect. Being a Christian is believing in him. Again you do not need to know everything about him to believe in him. If you believe in him then you are Christian. If you try to live a life like him then you are Christian. I’m tired of all these professed Christians that try to say one group of people are Christain and another is not. First who are you to determine who is and who isn’t a Christian. If you believe in Christ then your Christian PERIOD

@Buttars9129 @HonestYPTweets The definition of being a Christian is believing that Christ IS god. ONE with the Father. Before Abraham was, I AM. Alpha & Omega. Beginning and the End. Root & Offspring of David. The world formed through HIM and for HIM, upholding all things by the word of HIS power.

You seem to be the lost one. The definition of Christian is believing Christ is the Son of God. You do not need to know everything about him to be Christian, just believe in him. Last time I checked members of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter days saints believe Jesus to be the son of god aka Christians

@alheartsoulmind @blaiseforet I personally don’t want or need that. You can hold a personal line: If so, I’d have a crafted paragraph ready to communicate your personal safeguards and boundaries at the onset of communication. But I would not want to see that become de facto MO for many above reasons.

@jburn @blaiseforet I’m for including 3rd party on texts, emails, keeping track of phone calls in an app. As someone who was groomed, exploited by a senior pastor I want the safeguarding. Especially in an ongoing communication situation that could build into manipulative attachment. Thoughts?

If you are a female in a church and you receive private texts messages or DM’s from your married pastor, that dude shouldn’t be a pastor. Full stop. Give me all the caveats in the world on this one, but that dude is either a creeper OR he is immature and needs a mentor quick.

@blaiseforet There is no confusion about questionable behavior. We don’t need to purity culture Billy Graham Bill Gothard this up. Social media access doesn’t make people sin. These men aren’t tripping into grooming accidentally. Speaking in private to opposite genders is not the root of evil

@blaiseforet 3. It assigns blanket rules in place healthy patterns & perspective. Where do those explicit rules end? You can email but not DM? Facebook is okay but not TikTok? A female must be cc’d. Or a spouse, or a man, or a covering, or something….

This pastor rightly says that parents should not be giving their children social media accounts, yet the church has social media accounts for their student ministries. Don’t pastors, churches, and parents see the inconsistencies? A is bad for kids but we’ll provide A for kids.

I don’t agree with the excavation into Mamdani’s wife social media accounts, but is that the truth? I set up this account as a teenager. I can’t remember everything I have written from 2012 until now, but I am 100% sure no post of mine contains any racial/homophobic slurs or expressions of support for terrorism.
Ross Barkan@RossBarkan

The banal truth is if you oppp dumped on any teenager's social media activity, you'd find something dubious. That's why the cancel culture mentality is so hideous. God knows what a Washington Free Beacon and ex-Post reporter was up to on his personal time back then.

@KCTV5 Who’s wrote? “Income tax makes up more than half of Missouri’s general revenue. General revenue is the money left to be spent; there is more money that’s already been allocated to specific state departments. About 60 percent of Missouri’s general revenue comes from income taxes.”

A new proposal in Jefferson City would eliminate Missouri's income tax and raise sales taxes instead. Critics are raising concerns about the impact on local families. What they have to say >>> kctv5.com/2026/03/18/con…

Wow, big news from @UMNS that a UMC pastor in Missouri is under suspension for working with Jeffrey Epstein in 2018-2019, including as a property manager on his island. Her name appears 1,800+ times in the Epstein files, reports Heather Hahn: umnews.org/en/news/probe-…

The last bit of our internet is bleeding out, so I am writing this here while I can still force this VPN connection through to the free world. If I die, I will do so with a smile, knowing the enemies of my people and my country died with me. And I want the world to know, no matter what the circumstances, any innocent civilian blood spilled in this war is entirely on the hands of the terrorist Islamic regime occupying Iran. I want the world to know that to us, this is a rescue mission, not a war. I want you to be our voice until Iran is free. The regime is doing everything it can to blindfold us and the world by jamming satellite feeds and strangling the internet. Please remember, no matter how many of us die, the regime is to blame. But if you cannot accept that sentiment, how about this: They slaughtered over 36,000 Iranians in 8 to 12 hours spread over two nights in January alone, and they haven't stopped killing us. You want the reality of the last two weeks of this war? Nearly 5,000 people have died. Over 4,400 of them are the regime's own military, IRGC, Basij, and government personnel getting systematically eradicated. And the innocent civilians? Around 480 have been killed. Why did they die? Because this cowardly terrorist syndicate intentionally embeds its military bases right next to our elementary schools and residential blocks. They use our children and our families as literal human shields while their commanders scurry into the dark. Why do you think the regime actively cuts its own citizens off from information during a war, when information means life and ignorance means death? They are not doing it for our safety. They are plunging us into a digital blackout to hide their own collapsing ranks, and to ensure we cannot coordinate the uprising that will finish them. And look around why don't they have any public air raid sirens or bomb shelters for us? Because for 47 years, they only poured our national wealth into building deep underground bunkers to protect their ballistic missiles and their clerics, leaving the Iranian people completely exposed on the surface to burn. Not only have they been shooting people who take videos of military crash sites, but they have even executed at least one man right in the middle of this chaos. They are actively threatening the Iranian people on state media, telling us they will take revenge on all of us for this war and for the January uprising. They even mass-texted every single one of us that if we dare to come out again, they will commit a massacre that makes January look like nothing. But guess what? None of us give a single damn about their threats. The moment our time comes the moment the call is given to us we will take to the streets to finish what we started and take our country back. I beg you to be our voice and support our leader, @PahlaviReza. We wrote his name on the walls with our blood, and over 36K of our fallen heroes gave their lives asking for his return to the country and chanting his name. Do not step on their blood by standing against him and the future freedom of Iran. We know the way. We know where we want to go, and we know who can take us there. One nation, one flag, one leader for the transition to a secular, democratic Iran. With all that said, I will try to keep my connection to the outside world alive for as long as possible to be the voice of my oppressed people. Long live Iran.🇮🇷✌️

@Whitehorse1255 @AlistairMerrym1 @crazylove I don’t hav any doubt or concerns that Francis Chan actually knew what Mike Bickle was up to and said nothing and/or endorsed with that knowledge. But the two-year wait to a statement after ample evidence is just unshepherdly. I don’t know how he could maintain trust with that.

@AlistairMerrym1 @crazylove Not just a disavowal. "Francis did not have knowledge of hidden moral failure at the time of his associations or endorsements." A clarification that Chan is not responsible due to lack of knowledge.

Remember this guy? Francis Chan just dropped a public statement disavowing Mike Bickle. I don't think it really matters at this point Francis. Most people just decided to disavow you. @crazylove I might feel sorry for you if I wasn't there in the midst of the melee in 2024 watching and waiting for some Tactical Air Support that never came. You still get paid for this right? Anyway, thanks for your lecture on words and accountability. In other news, I don't know about you but I've been watching Bethel services this month with renewed interest. 🧐 If I was motivated I'd probably do a break down of the in between the lines messaging this month but Bethel's never really been my circus. 🙊 I will say there's this clip where Ben Armstrong and Danny Silk are talking about how in a family when your son commits an act of ClergySA you don't throw your son away, he's still your kid. Similarly Banning Liebscher spoke about the Church as Family, same vibe. Banning also rebuked American Christians for having a consumer mentality when it comes to Church. The irony of that from a Bethel leader is not lost on me. Bill Johnson also led the congregation in repentance. I guess when your Senior Leaders get exposed for lying through their teeth everybody takes the hit. 🤔

Nova survivor Yuval Sharvit: "The girl who was injured in the car next to me was dragged out by the terrorists. She begged the person in the car with her to help her, but he was trapped. She started screaming that they were ripping her clothes off. There were three terrorists. They raped her. I've never heard screams like that in my life, and the terrorists sounded like they were drinking a cocktail at the beach. When they finished, they fired an RPG at her car and burned her. After everything she went through, she was burned alive."
