My great grandfather and great great grandfather fled the antisemitism and pogroms of 1883 Russia / Ukraine / Poland / Belarus.
I can’t believe I am seeing this ugly disease rear its head again.

@RevJaredJones Families live, sit and eat at tables.
The Father welcomes us to his Table.

If you preach regularly, what is your denomination/tradition and what typeface do you use?
David Rowe@mrdavidrowe
The idea that some typefaces are theologically representative makes complete sense to me. How many Baptist pastors print out their sermons in Garamond like I do?

@richardpmoore23 Not at all. There be but 66 books in the Canon.
It was simply an analogy of God's grace. Did Solomon ever repent for his promiscuous life?
God forgives repentant sinners. We are all sinners in need of his grace.
English
@pete_tepper You obviously don’t understand the nature of scriptural revelation you are actually comparing the words of Sam Allberry to holy scripture?🤦♂️
English
Throughout this process, Sam has been repentant, humble, and cooperative with the Elders and
outside counsel. The Elders continue to care for Sam as a brother in Christ and Member of Immanuel.
We will continue to support Sam and the other party with counseling, and we are determined in so far
as we are able to “restore him in a spirit of gentleness” to full fellowship in the church (Galatians 6:1).
...Meanwhile sinful X rushes to dunk on fellow sinner.
English
@richardpmoore23 So glad the church didn't remove Proverbs, Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes even when Solomon had strayed and worshiped foreign gods.
Truth is truth whether off the lips of Jesus or Balaam's donkey.
English
@pete_tepper So is the gospel coalition also “dunking on him” by removing all of his content?
“Per TGC policy and procedures, we immediately began to remove all of Sam’s content from our website and other content channels”

No sin is so great but the satisfaction of Christ and His mercies are greater; it is beyond comparison. Fathers and mothers in tenderest affections are but beams and trains to lead us upwards to the infinite mercy of God in Christ. - Richard Sibbes
English
For anyone who needs to hear this today.
"There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us." - Richard Sibbes, Holy Trinity Cambridge

Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness
New every morn’
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

@PeterOuld @SamAllberry It comes from people who don't know him. Haven't sat down and had a meal with him, worked with him, or worshiped with him.
English
These kind of attacks on @SamAllberry are not appropriate. Where did Sam ever teach that "the earthly good of marriage is largely irrelevant"? That's about as far from his pastoral theology as you can get.
Aaron Edwards@aaron_p_edwards
Aside from the obvious hypocrisy in Alberry's situation, one of the worst aspects of the Alberry/Big Eva attraction to "same-sex attraction theology" was the gnostic denigration of marriage, leading them to pretend that the earthly good of marriage is largely irrelevant. It is framed as an "appetiser" which you can happily "skip" if you're lucky enough to be a SSAvangelical, giving you a VIP pass straight to Jesus. Those who spoke strongly against homosexuality in the Church were often castigated by evangelical platforms as being "unpastoral" in their approach. What about the pastoral fallout of situations like this? How many more "SSA Christians" are there out there subtly taught to lie to themselves rather than being led to full repentance and deliverance?
English
@ShawnWGillogly I pray that when or if you ever sin you might find a God of Grace whose love is deeper than your sin and shame.
I am sure that Paul, Augustine, Moses, David would have been hung out to dry if X existed in their time.
English
@pete_tepper How dare we believe elders caught in sin should be publicly reproved, so that all might fear.
And that theology creating a special carve out for sexual temptation would create a path for sexual sin.
Lust is sin. Always.

Immanuel Church Nashville is right down the road from our church. We know a lot of families that attend there. Good time to take your hands off the keyboard and pray for that church--for their pastors and their congregants.

Anfechtungen is the (German) word that Luther used to describe the overwhelming times of spiritual trial, terror, despair, and religious crisis that he experienced
This is how he translates peirasmos.
“Leas us not into the time of trial (peirasmos) but deliver us from evil”
English

With all respect, you're missing the point because this is very much about Sam Alberry, an individual person who Jesus loves and died for and not a poster or pawn in some political talking point culture war.
Megan Basham@megbasham
You are missing the point. This is not just about Alberry. It is about the Revoice-type theology that he was disseminating that was endorsed by his church and by TGC and those in Keller’s orbit that is dangerous to others in the exact same way it was dangerous to Alberry As a friend said to me when she learned the news, our theology cannot save us, but it can condemn us. This is why we fight against the world, flesh, and the devil, and that fight includes exposing evil.
English
Martin Luther talked about Tentatio vs Probatio when translating "peirasmos". Giving into peirasmos is temptation. Not giving into peirasmos is probatio.
Luther spoke of us learning theology in three 'schools':
1. Meditatio (meditating on God's Word)
2. Oratio (praying and speaking to God)
3. Probatio (going through a time of trial)
Sam Allbery is not attacking the doctrines of concupiscence or justification by faith. He is explaining tentatio vs probatio.

I’m praying for Sam Allberry today as a large part of the evangelical world publicly dumps on him as if they are not wretched sinners in need of God’s grace.
A pastor’s response to sin should be like that of Jesus in the entirety of John 8.1-11.
English

If Sam Alberry has repented, we know for sure that God loves Sam, he took off running to him before he even made it home, embraced him, robe, ring, fatted calf and all, and is rejoicing. Are you?
God is more excited about Sam's repentance than your supposed righteousness.
English

There is an entire group of people on here who genuinely believe they're doing the work of a pastor by posting warnings online about people they don't know and have no ecclesial connection to and seemingly no concern for real repentance.
Michael Foster@thisisfoster
This is a blockhead statement. This isn’t about saying “I told you so.” It’s about the fact that we warned the church this was a dangerous departure from Scripture, that it would lead to real consequences. And when we said it, we were treated like we were harsh, unloving, or theologically off. We weren’t. We were doing our job. We warned. That warning was ignored, dismissed, or mocked. This is the same pattern again. There are people who want to act like they’re more loving, more understanding, because they refuse to connect theology to behavioral outcomes. They’re not more compassionate. They’re just unwilling to do the hard work of pastoral ministry.
