@jeffwindt signing a contract for his commentary on 2 Peter-Jude in the P&R Reformed Expository Series with @RDP4Christ. We'll be on the lookout for this book to be available next year from P&R. prpbooks.com/series/reforme… Congratulations Jeff!

@strongodors I read it both before and after becoming a parent. Hit hard the first time, much harder the second!

@strongodors Heavy stuff indeed.

@GeoffTGleason Not trying to nitpick at all, just seeking clarity on a tweet that was confusing. Not assuming anything one way or the other about you, just interacting. Take care, brother.

@jeffwindt My bad again. Just seems like you’re nitpicking. I’ll say it again: true Xian obedience requires a heart of worship to God. However, we still use the word obey do we not? Like with our kids? I’ll leave it there Jeff. If you don’t want to assume the best you don’t have to.

You can obey without believing but you can never believe without obeying.

@GeoffTGleason Wow. Not trying to win anything. And I'm not sure we're on the same page. The paragraph of WCF you quoted says that external-only obedience is sinful. I understand it to be saying that not murdering is better than murdering. That doesn't equal obedience.

@jeffwindt I see. Good one. You got me there. You win. Let me try it this way. You ever tell your kids to obey you without all the qualifications you’re asking me to provide in a tweet?

@GeoffTGleason I asked an honest question, you said I took all the fun out of a tweet, so I assumed you were joking. All good, brother.

@jeffwindt About what?

@GeoffTGleason Sorry, I didn't know you were joking.

@jeffwindt Man. You take all the fun out of a tweet...

@GeoffTGleason How can mere external obedience be in any sense obedience? Don't the commandments have duties required, the neglect of which is disobedience?

@jeffwindt Ah. Well, legalism is not true obedience, because for it to be true obedience a deed must be done for the glory of God, according to the commands, out of love and gratitude for him. However, if you don’t commit adultery you have in a sense obeyed the 7th commandment.

@GeoffTGleason It's an honest question.

@jeffwindt Which one?

@GeoffTGleason yes.

@jeffwindt Are you asking me that or is that rhetorical?

@GeoffTGleason Thanks for clarifying. "You can obey without believing" sounds like you were affirming that you can obey without faith. Is legalism really obedience?

@jeffwindt Of course not. But just as Paul said his righteousness under the law was blameless (Phil. 3:6), so people can be externally obedient without a heart of worship to God.

@MeltonDuncan I could listen to the sweet sounds of Keith Jackson reading a phone book.

Enjoying the sounds of Keith Jackson call the 1978 Gator Bowl on ESPNU.

@Nick_Batzig From where was this quote taken?

"It's a great lie that Christians don't feel the loss of death like non-christians do; Christians actually feel the loss of death more keenly than non-Christians do, because they feel the sweetness of what has been broken." - Sinclair Ferguson

@rotaylor Gotcha–I was thinking about how the gospel influences a culture (ideally) in certain ways for the better as opposed to a lack of gospel influence degrading a culture, e.g. a non-racist 'culture' is 'superior' to a racist culture...

@jeffwindt Lol. She was saying that the belief that one nation/ethnicity/race’s culture was superior to another is not of God, but rooted in pagan beliefs.
