@BentheButcher80 Ok. I recant. In sackcloth and ashes. You're right. Didn't realize which one was in the shot. I'm an idiot. There are multiple bison heads in the building. That one? You're right.

@BentheButcher80 Brother. It's the real deal. I don't know what to tell you.

BREAKING: Longtime Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., announces end to re-election bid

I was honored to receive the Award for Conservative Excellence from @CPAC at last night’s banquet. They do a fantastic job scoring legislators all over the country. I’ll never stop fighting for our shared conservative values, individual liberty, and the people of SW Oklahoma.

Big tech has a generational opportunity to rebuild the Rust Belt. Put data centers in Detroit and Gary Indiana. Keep those things off of our farmland and beautiful open spaces. If “we” are at war with China, then rebuild and reindustrialize. Otherwise we know it’s a dark plot.

@Accidental64913 @webbons35209 @WilliamWolfe @BaptistLeaders @samwebb1876 @marcminter @Jason_Gray No it hadn't. At least not outside of Rome or the Australian Anglicans.

@webbons35209 @WilliamWolfe @merelyjwright @BaptistLeaders @samwebb1876 @marcminter @Jason_Gray Really?? It's time to deal with child abusers and child predators in the churches! It's been swept under the rug for decades,and of course God IS watching,even if he hasn't acted yet. You should remember that, Gibbon.

Really glad to see this! This is a huge win for @BaptistLeaders, @samwebb1876, @marcminter, and @Jason_Gray! Well done gents. That said, let me breakdown what you’re about to witness in the reaction. Here’s how it works: > Issue exists in the SBC. Liberal stuff. Fielder church with women pastors in Texas in the SBTC (the conservative convention) for example > The Platform and the Loyalists either ignore it or silently support it > Normies don’t know > Reformers draw attention to it, get attacked and called names for being “uncharitable” > Reformers (in this case, @samwebb1876, @marcminter, @jason_gray, aided by @BaptistLeaders) fight to fix it, hold Platform accountable > Platform drags feet; Reformers keep getting calls bad names for pointing out weak reactions and unaddressed liberalism > Eventually, Reformers force action > Good resolution > Platform and Loyalists act as if they were “fighting” all along and support the outcome > The positive resolution 100% would NOT have come if good men didn’t stand up and say something and get attacked for it > Reformers get no credit, even though without them the issue would have gone unresolved > Platform pats itself on back and says “See, no liberalism” > Rinse and repeat

Incredible stats here. Look at the decline in pro-marriage ideology across all groups except conservatives since 2015. In so many ways, leftism is a death cult. An inevitable part of discipleship is teaching your kids to be culturally and politically right-wing - ordering public and private life in a way that is submitted to God's design.

We are at a place in Tennessee and in America that if there's not a move of repentance, then there's no hope for our republic. We can't legislate ourselves out of the hole we're in or spend ourselves out of it. That's why I'm proud to have authored Tennessee's Prayer resolution.

One of the things I appreciate about @WillyRice -- he's committed to spreading the same gospel in New York that he preaches in Florida. "We win" when the gospel advances to the nations! From his sermon to ministry leaders in Brooklyn.

Young lady in class writes a sonnet about a young boy who grows up, gets married, raises his children in the Lord, and enjoys the blessing of grandchildren. Reader, she is dating my son. 🥰

@KairosChrist Happy to do it! Thanks for hosting the event.

We do our best to end every event by laying hands and praying over our elected officials. Thank you @merelyjwright for closing out our last event.

If you want to know who to thank for this defense of our Baptist beliefs and mission in Texas, you can thank: @samwebb1876 @marcminter @Jason_Gray They did the thankless work to fix this, with some assists from @BaptistLeaders Fight on, pray on, we are gaining ground!

@WilliamWolfe @samwebb1876 @Jason_Gray @BaptistLeaders Thanks, William! The “assists” from @BaptistLeaders were critical to spreading the word. Thanks for the encouragement and support.

I have a hunch that the number of PhD admissions would tell us a lot about this graph and the quality of education at each of these seminaries. Again, just a hunch.

@StephenBeavers @SBCUnderground Kind of you

@merelyjwright @SBCUnderground You’ve got the discernment, the battle scars of being in the fight for so long and the ability to communicate what’s actually going on. Much appreciated.

For those interested in SBC inside baseball, I've been chewing on the oddity of Loyalists giving credit for the grassroots' win against egalitarianism to Michael Criner (!), despite Criner being the one who enabled Fielder to stay in cooperation for so long. Stolen valor. Here's the best I can figure out what's going on, particularly since these guys opposed the Law Amendment. I think it's an Outsider/Turf Protection thing. Most of the Platform Loyalists have staked their financial well being & career success on pledging allegiance to the system of SBC Institutions, particularly NAMB as the head of the beast. They can't acknowledge Outsiders getting a win because it challenges the total dominance of the system. It is also the only way they can go from (1) "There is no problem", (2) "Law is a bad idea", to (3) "We beat egalitarianism!" in a way that lets them never have to own being wrong on the topic. Another example of Heads I Win, Tails You Lose executed to make sure no one outside the Loyalist tribe gains any influence in an SBC where the rhetoric is that everyone has a voice.

My latest "Christian Education and Our Future" is up at American Reformer. In it I explore how Christians should think about education in the world of Ai and whatever comes after. @AmReformer 🔗👇

@Griffingulledge This still needs to happen.
