Covid didn’t divide the church, it revealed her. Covid didn’t victimize pastors, it tested their mettle. Were they company men or God’s men?Some passed the test and reaped unity. Some passed the test and were fired. Both will receive their reward.

If you're a Christian with an online platform of any kind, be prepared to lose it for Christ. Not eager, but prepared. When it happens it will likely mean being called immoral and reprehensible, even (perhaps mainly) by others who claim Christ. Prepare now to rejoice in that day.

The thing is, it’s the opposite of funny or cute to act like disdaining young children is funny or cute. This type of joking is acceptable poison. Women, you can opt out. You can be appalled when others talk like this in your presence. You can stand up for the dignity of the fam.

It’s a gracious and powerful thing when, in the midst of great trial, a wife can quietly and confidently say to her husband, “You were made to bear this. God made you to do hard things. His Son went before you, his Spirit is in you, and I am with you to the end.”

Christians absolutely know what to do when they're told there is something big wrong with their child: they love their child. They pray for their child. They do everything they can to care for, nurture, and protect their child. They don't kill their child and call it mercy.

It’s nigh impossible to call Christians to risk their lives in foreign lands or nearby neighborhoods to bring Good News to those in need, when we won’t tell them it’s worth a health risk to assemble as God commands to hear the Word, sing praise to God, and love the brethren.

What makes marriage so distinctly beautiful is the joining of man and woman. It is the asymmetry, the joining of two different, yet fitting parts that can bring forth life. And that asymmetry pictures a much greater one—Christ and his church-bride, the most fruitful union of all.

Abortion is deeply personal. To support it requires a rending of soul in which you must invalidate the existence of other humans with your own unearned existence. It is the strong hating the weak & denying they were ever so vulnerable. It is first blindness about oneself.

Among Christians, I don't think this is should be too controversial, but here goes. I'm a thick complementarian, meaning I believe our design as men and women is more than skin deep. I believe there is something intrinsic to being male and female, an "ought-ness"...

The best way to cultivate a culture of trust is to (and follow me closely here) be trustworthy. Don't lie, cheat, or steal your sermons. Say what the Bible says, don't sandpaper it. If you're "borrowing," don't pass it off as your own, which gets us back to the "don't lie" part.

Why speak hard words to women about their sin? Because if you believe women can be co-heirs, then you also believe they are fallen in Adam and in need of the salvation found in Christ. Their sin must be atoned for--repentance, faith, and conformity to Christ are the only way.

So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves” (Matt 27:24). Pilate's 1st error: trying to win the mob. His 2nd: caving.

When I think on the Pharisees who despised Jesus, I know apart from grace I would have been them. I would have missed the forest for the trees. I would have been blind. Which is why I weep at the forgiveness and faith given to me through Christ. Amazing love—how can it be?!

@William_E_Wolfe Over and over I heard in poli-sci classes, “you can’t legislate morality.” Well, you can—both immorality and morality. What you can’t legislate is heart change. But you can prevent a lot of pain and evil w moral, God-honoring laws.

The federal gov’t cannot forgive student debt, because the cost of forgiveness will be borne by citizens who will be injured by it. In order to forgive one must also be able to absorb the cost. The fed gov’t can only oppress and rob people w its so-called “forgiveness.”

Last Easter our son was in the ICU in a coma. This year we were all together enjoying the good gifts of today. We are ever thankful that the Ancient of Days spent three days in the grave, then rose from the dead, so that whether we live or whether we die, we belong to him.

This is an answer to prayer. More of this—more children leaving the gov’t system of indoctrination and finding their way to Christian schools and home schools. Help us be faithful, Lord!

“Where did those kids go?” Public school systems are starting to feel the pinch from enrollment losses tied to the pandemic. School funding, partially driven by headcounts, is down sharply because families are opting for homeschooling and private schools.

I turned 39 today in quarantine––less than a week after the sudden death of a dear friend. It's quite different than any other birthday. The tears spill, but it's as though they water the soil of faith. Hope in God is in full flower. He really will raise us from the dead.

This is not a formal ministry of the church, but it is real ministry--and, in my opinion, it is the most fun ministry. Ladies, you have so much to give! Dream big about how you can bless people! Brainstorm with others! Then get to work and enjoy.

To promote and commend uncertainty about things God has certainly said is not humility, it is pride. It is not “soft” toward God to wobble on things He has made sure, it is soft toward sin—the one thing we must be hardened against.

🧵I think the Begg situation is one in which using a simplistic 3 tier theological triage simply doesn’t work. Not only does it not work, it will lead you to misunderstand God’s priorities, and, if you’re a dad or mom, you could really handicap your kids’ discernment/wisdom.

I truly hope Christian leaders will take a minute to read this. These are faithful wounds that Meg’s inflicting. They will bring healing if received.

Major church leaders used their positions to become mouthpieces for government’s Covid propaganda and helped NIH director Francis Collins suppress news about the lab-leak theory that would have been damaging to him. My @realDailyWire story 👇

Christians who tap out of the war for our culture are Christians who have forgotten what they are for. We are called to bear witness to Christ’s goodness and supremacy in this culture, to this people, at this God-ordained time. Every square inch is His.

I've read Corrie ten Boom's The Hiding Place countless times--tonight I watched a doc on it. Again, the massive impact of having a true Christian family w real love & courage pouring from Bible-soaked lives overwhelms me. Home is the place God is made what he really is––our life.

What if some folks are legitimately loving their neighbors and families and friends by not wearing a mask or not social distancing? What if “loving others” has more than one expression? How does that change your judgment of those who are behaving differently than you?
