@Wolfiesmom Hi Valerie. Did you know that the majority of churches are under a hundred people? That many of those pastors have to be bi-vocational in order to survive? I make a very modest income. Did you know that churches account for the majority of efforts to take care of the poor? Do

@PamKeithFL 2/2. The gospel records the unborn John the Baptist as recognizing the unborn Jesus. How can you possibly be describing the Jesus of the gospels when you don’t understand who He is? Please consider a good theology book. Cheers.

@electric528 @RonCharles For pity sake. I understand you may have objections to what she said, and certainly there are many sad things in Christian history. But clearly you misunderstand the Kingdom of God to compare it to Sharia.

@presidio56 @BobWoodson Gary, It is correct to say that the theory of CRT itself is not taught in our schools. The problem is that CRT is being embraced by educators and they are encouraging teaching to be done thru that lens. There is clear evidence that it is embraced and shaping curriculum.

@ArmenThomassian Sir, I have known Bob since the early 70’s. You are way off the mark by using that language to describe his music and leading. Bob is a committed believer, lover of God’s glory and desires to build up the church with solid, singable, doctrinally clear songs. Good grief man,

@AnnHumbach @Wolfiesmom Christian philanthropy accounted for 70% of all American philanthropy in 2022 at $300 billion total. Christians also out-gave the U.S. Government in addressing global poverty. - Barna . Whatever folks might say or think, the church remains a seismic value-add to the world. -

@EPowdermaker @AP @mbieseck @MRSmithAP Oh for crying out loud. She also believes the scriptures that declare the equality of people before God. The Bible speaks of roles/responsibilities that people have. None of those allow for a dictatorship. My role as a pastor is to serve others. Likewise a husband to his family.

@ScottAniol Scott ... There's no such thing as "charismatic music". If you are referring to lyrical content, you can find poor material from Isaac Watts to (Insert songwriter you don't care for here). You can also find really outstanding, soul stirring, doctrine affirming songs too.

@UnionSeminary @BradyShearer I remember in college (74-78) weeping over Rudolph Bultman and others trying to uncover the "historical Jesus" by demythologizing the NT. The issues have been around forever. Men earnestly desire to make themselves judges of the Scriptures rather than be measured by them.
