The earliest Christians were marked by their peculiar otherness when in Rome. When living in Rome, they didn’t do as the Romans did. Their Christocentric love and care for the least of these earned persecution. Don’t just choose the sins our Rome already denounces to reject.

In this superb clip from last week's @KenwoodBC Institute anchor class on Reformed theology, @kdclaunch deftly exposits 2 Peter 1:16-21, explaining how the Transfiguration demonstrates the Law, Prophets, and Apostles bear witness to God's supreme revelation, namely, Jesus Christ.

You’ll lose your carbon credits listening through this 3 hour plus plodcast, but my brothers @D_B_Harrison & @VirgilWalkerOMA are worthy of such a sacrifice. Pagans have creeds too, and it’s important to highlight the spiritual/moral bankruptcy at the heart of “climate change.”

Making people "feel seen" is often said in reference to affirming immoral and disgraceful belief/behavior. Be sure, we all are seen: "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account."

Nehemiah Coxe is so helpful here. “Not all Israel was truly Israel” doesn’t merely entail the mixed nature of the old covenant community, it also implies true Israel wasn’t saved under the Mosaic covenant, but by their “spiritual relationship to Abraham” & his Seed, i.e., Christ.

I've resonated w/ @joe_rigney 's diagnosis of untethered empathy & am excited he's now moved into the prescription phase for the fever. In this essay I apply his insights to the SBC. My prayer is that it helps us be sober, stable, & ready to respond to emotional sabotage rightly.

If our moral outrage/fear is calibrated by the news cycle, God is not the One we are regarding as holy, as wisdom begins by being rooted in the fear of Yahweh (Prov. 1:7; Is. 8:12-14). Parroting the talking heads online is an expression of foolish unbelief.

If something is unnatural it's immoral, b/c it subverts and/or rebels against God's design. IVF is unnatural. It illicitly decouples the unitive & procreative goods of marriage, rendering children a commodity, & less than the result of the one flesh union. Ergo, IVF is immoral.
