Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Phil 4:8
I love it when I think I'm the last person to leave Church and I see multiple families talking, laughing in fellowship while their young children are playing around them on the Church green.

So very grateful for the Southern Baptist Convention. So many SBC people have made such outstanding public theological contributions to the culture, life and well-being of my own beloved PCA denomination. Gondor needs Rohan.

is a substantial critic that progressive Christians are going to have to reckon with. She keeps her receipts, I'm looking forward to reading her new book when it comes out.
You cannot achieve the pluralistic utopia French, Moore, Wear, etc keep trying to sell you with people who want to imprison you for taking part in the constitutionally protected political process.
The only way it works is with your submission. And that’s what their project is.

ministry. Love our motto: “Faithful to the Scriptures, True to the Reformed Faith, and Obedient to the Great Commission.” Looking forward to Memphis.
I love the sweet Sabbaths of church with Word and Table and the fervent shared prayer of a life long friend, The comfortableness of the family pew in an ancient hall, the drama of Christian redemption, the timelessness of a good Christian hymn and the hope of new life in Christ.
I am so grateful for the thousands of faithful deacons, church staff and members who put in extra time this week in their home churches so congregations could worship together online, some for the first time. Wonderful to see Christians using social media for the best things.
I love everything about Sundays in a Christian church. The familiar rhythms of a family gathering, the sounds of worship, the knowing glance from a friend who knows your burdens, the surprising joy of meeting someone new, a conversation with a child or a kind word from a saint
So glad for the many new and young confessional voices that emerged at this year's 49th

This long tweet 🧵 is mainly for my PCA colleagues who are meeting at our denominational assembly. As we gather, I believe it is wrong to dismiss the concerns of “conservatives” in the PCA [quote marks because the whole PCA is very conservative] who want to be vigilant 1/7

On April 29th, Biden Admin quietly enacted an HHS rule that designates Christians unfit to be foster parents. It requires “supporting” any foster child in their “gender identity” and same-sex attraction. This rule will be devastating to vulnerable kids.
