6) Don't be 1st in your own cause. Young men can't endure to be slighted. Being slow to anger is better than being mighty; ruling your spirit is better than victory. Let your moderation be known to all men. X provides a great platform for this. Don't be brawlers; do be gentle.+

4) Aged men are to be sound in charity and patience (Titus 2:2). That's a great goal. 5) Paul teaches a young pastor to be an example of the believers in word, conversation, charity, spirit, faith, purity. I hate the scorn that often gets heaped on the heads of older pastors. +

7) Prayer reminds us that we're doing God's work. He isn't doing ours. Prayer reminds me that without Him, I can do nothing. We expend much energy and effort in busy work. Let's be sure to give ourselves continually to prayer in the midst of our busyness (Luke 10:41). 8/8

happens to be that I get to study the Word for gobs of hours, proclaim the glorious gospel, and see God work through His Word in the lives of people. I wouldn't want to do anything else. If you want to thank me for doing what I love, feel free. I'm not begging.

@mlward I'll say something that my KJO friends won't want me to say, but that should be obvious to us nonetheless. Had we kept up the regular updating process that took place from 1611-1769, we would not be in this place today. I wonder how many would still be using the KJV if we had.

When I called on Christ to save me, my choice was entirely free. I wasn’t pre-programmed to do so. I didn’t act as a robot or a machine in choosing Christ. Nor did God set aside His sovereignty at all or sit by helplessly waiting.

God Chose Us Before the Foundation of the World

Election is a mystery. I admit it. But the Bible teaches election, so we must as well. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in he…

Many who hold to easy-believism, like this fellow, also believe you are unsaved if you believe any differently. That makes salvation meritorious - based on believing their novel doctrine. Can you say "works salvation?"

@RisingDisciples @biblelinemin @DaveMallinak Amen to that preacher! He's absolutely right, and anyone who disagrees is unsaved. End of story.

Jesus taught giving, not as a Christian duty but as a Christian grace, not as church-focused but as need-focused, not as compelled but as characteristic of the Christian. "Give and it shall be given unto you" (Luke 6:38).

I'm grateful to my Brother for writing this review of Greg Locke's movie. Nobody should be thinking that this movie would be worth watching, but we should always be vigilant to guard against the wolves. Take some time to read this. Pastor Vaughn has some writing talents.

Another golden nugget about easy-believism. It would be generous to say 10% of their so-called converts ever darken the door of the church. But their rejection of repentance explains the rampant sin - especially sexual sin - in their circles.

A red wave or red tsunami without national repentance would only serve to harden us in our complacency. "Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil."

6) Older men and pastors should exhort the young men to be sober minded, to show a pattern of good works in all things, uncorrupt, grave, sincere in doctrine, with sound speech putting to shame the contrarians. Falling in line isn't outside of these. But there are limitations+

@NCravatt I'm not especially committed to the moniker. But I will also say that Christ is a great Redeemer. He entered the world through a family line with a lot of baggage and scandal (Matt 1:3, 5, 6). If multiple family members disgraced our family name, I wouldn't change my name.

It isn't a straw man to say that easy-believism fights for people's right to continue in sin. Unless this is a scarecrow preaching.

✂️ Pastor preaches that you can trust Christ and live like the devil.

Paul would say, "Follow me as I follow Christ." That's a right rule. But I don't want anyone to follow me when I'm not following Christ. And I'm not the Lord over any man's conscience.

Missionary: I love you; I support you. But it's unethical for you to seek support from a church if you know IN ADVANCE that your church would never return that favor or (worse) that you wouldn't even consider joining that church. If you know that in advance, don't make that call

My dad is a hard worker. When he was a pastor, he worked 2 other jobs. When he later became an Assistant he often worked 60-70 hours in the week. Now at 78, he owns his own business. He is scheduled for open heart surgery next week, and will work all week this week.

Here's why I strongly recommend Michael Foster. Pastors need to read this. Prior to reading it, a man in my church graciously asked me why it is that when we preach to the men, it is no holds barred, but with the ladies we tiptoe. This book added conviction to his challenge.

A pastor who plainly says "Women sin" should expect a strong reaction. Why? Because women aren't used to hearing it. The hear it said in the general but not specifically applied to them as a sex. Again, why? Many pastors are intimidated by women and feel they must flatter and
