I am honored and excited to nominate
@VoddieBaucham
for President of the SBC Pastors conference for 2023. He is the man for the hour and one of the most powerful preachers of the gospel in our world today.
And that is one of the reasons why socialism is wrong and anti-biblical. We are to help people who can’t work, not people who won’t work (2 Thes. 3:10).
One of the most encouraging and helpful sermons I have ever heard was when Dr. Stanley shared his testimony about the intense hardships during his early days at FBC Atlanta.
Charles Stanley…a spiritual legacy that will last for generations. I am grateful for the preaching ministry of this man and his commitment to the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus. All the praise goes to Jesus.
You are either worshiping the one true God, or you are not. There is no in between. Allah is NOT God. He is a false god whose deceived worshipers rape women, decapitate babies, and murder grandmas in his name. This is pure evil. "The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy."
Alcohol sales spike 55% in one week. Online alcohol sales up a whopping 243%.
Alcohol will only make these problems worse, not better.
The answer to this pandemic will be found in turning to God in repentance and faith -- Jonah 3.
California Governor Gavin Newsom is twisting Jesus's words to promote killing babies. His billboard ad …
"Need an abortion? California is ready to help. . . . 'Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no greater commandment than these.' -Mark 12:31"

What a blessing and a privilege to pastor these wonderful people for these twenty years. PTL! God has done great things through the victories and challenges of ministry. Thank you FBC Texarkana for a special time of celebration in the service today.
The motion by
@tomascol
to abolish the ERLC of the SBC failed. For those who find the ERLC a total waste of CP dollars, the option is always present to exclude the ERLC from CP giving.
I prayed with a woman tonight to receive Christ. Her husband had prayed with me to receive Christ just a few weeks earlier. She was crying, and I was crying—happy tears! They are planning to get baptized together soon.

The annual SBC meeting this June is an important one. I will be voting for
@PastorMikeStone
for convention president. Mike pastors a thriving church and has a heart for pastors and the local church. He is a strong conservative who stands up for the truths of Scripture.
#SBC21
I will go out on a limb and say if you can't count the votes in a timely manner, the reason for the delay is fraud. I find it hard to believe a group of people could be this utterly inept, but they can certainly be this utterly corrupt.
#SMH
Join me in praying for
@JennaEllisEsq
as she faces an absurd but costly legal battle. Jenna is a warrior for the truth--my kind of person. No doubt she will fight the good fight of faith, but that doesn't make it easy. Support is surely welcomed in times like this.
I don’t see why some evangelicals work so hard to dissuade Christians from voting for Trump. What is the alternative? Socialist and abortion-loving Bernie? For anyone who values life, religious freedom, law and order, America, and Israel, the choice is clear!
#2020election
You know when you hear preachers say you don’t have the promise of tomorrow? Well that is so true. My dear friend and our church administrator died in a staff meeting yesterday. We did CPR, but she was already in heaven. 62 years old. A great, great lady.

We baptized 17 tonight at our outdoor Big Summer Sunday Celebration service. One young man was saved when
@MarineTimLee
came to FBC Texarkana about two years ago.
#exciting
Hats off to pastors who sincerely want to reach the next generation for Christ. However, we must be careful in our efforts not to compromise the message to "reach" the masses. Sinners want God on THEIR terms, but true salvation only comes on HIS terms.
#thegospel
John 14:6
Praying for America today. May the election be fair. May the overwhelming majority of Americans vote to protect the unborn and religious freedom. May we vote for law and order, decency, morality, and civility in our cities. May we support the nation of Israel.
I don’t want to put mothers behind bars either … unless they are complicit in murdering their children by brutal dismemberment. This is not hard to understand. Abortion is “murder” not “unnecessary.”
@ERLC
I am excited to be part of this new network of conservative Baptist pastors and lay people. This network is desperately needed for like-minded Baptist believers to come together to combat the rising tide of liberalism seeping into our SBC entities. Thank you
@bradjurkovich
It stands to reason that if, during a pandemic, people can gather en masse for hours to march, riot, loot, and destroy, then Christians should be allowed to gather on Sundays for an hour to worship the Lord and pray. We need the latter more than ever.
#Godhavemercy
In this video, hear from
@jeffschreve
, pastor of First Baptist Church in Texarkana, Texas, as he shares about conviction, courage and speaking the truth in love.
@BaptistNetork
is honored to work alongside Pastor Schreve.
Anyone who wants to fundamentally change America does not like America. That person should never be voted into power. Don’t hire a coach who truly hates the team.
There was a fire at FBC Texarkana in the TV Control Room this afternoon around 3:20. Here is the update on where we stand as of Sunday night. God is faithful. Thanks for your prayers.
People who troll pastors who speak the truth in love have a problem--but it is not with the pastor. It is with the God of the Bible. Faithful preachers did not author the Bible, God did. You can rant and rave at the mailman, or you can heed the words of the letter writer.
The last few days have seen the moral downfall of both Tony Evans and Robert Morris. The Tony Evans “confession” was purposely vague—no one is telling what he actually did. The Robert Morris sin was horrific and criminal.
#GodHaveMercy
How would Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego have responded to the COVID-19 decree from California stating that churches are to shut down gatherings indefinitely? Has God not commanded us to meet together (Hebrews 10:25)? Online is a good supplement, but not a good substitute.
I just read this headline: "A new poll reveals that less than half (46 percent) of the Christians in the United Kingdom believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the world’s sins."
Newsflash: those who do not believe in the resurrection are not Christians.
Isn’t it amazing how so many on the left fear Covid but don’t fear God? We have a 0.06% chance of dying from the coronavirus but a 100% certainty of facing God in judgment. Those who reject/ignore Christ as Savior and Lord will have a 0% chance of escaping eternal hell.
#truth
The differences between the Democrat Party and Republican Party couldn’t be more stark. One party loves America and the constitution, and one party is ashamed of America and wants to fundamentally change it.
I went to Cracker Barrel this morning for breakfast. I didn't have a mask because I was going to eat. I was confronted at the door and told I must have a mask. I went someone else for breakfast. Wearing a mask to walk to your table has to be the dumbest rule ever made.

Issues raised on the Titanic:
* The soup was too salty.
* The laundry service was slow.
* The cabin stewards were discourteous.
* We hit an iceberg and sank.
Of all the issues in this election, everything pales compared to abortion and the many lives it butchers every day.
The reconstructed worship center is looking good and will be ready for reopening. We are super excited about our Good Friday service, the first service in this room in over a year.

Wasn’t he the guy who said to anyone who questioned his mental fitness, “Watch me”? Well, we have been watching … and most of us are more convinced than ever that he is mentally impaired. I seriously doubt he could successfully run a lemonade stand.
Isn’t it interesting that no transgender men (i.e. biological women with xx chromosomes) are fighting hard to be included to play men’s sports? It is always the biological men who can’t cut it competing against men who want to play with the girls.
#embarrassing
#pitiful
#smh
I can’t imagine a pastor refusing to pray for the nation’s leader who came to him and his church for prayer. I think it is commendable that the president seeks out a godly, Bible-believing pastor to pray for him rather than a worldly, unbelieving one.
#DavidPlatt
I truly fear for this new administration as they brazenly push for moral depravity and the increased slaughter of innocent babies in the womb. God is patient, but His patience has a limit. “It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
#repent
The Christians who voted primarily on the issue of abortion were chastised by those who said being a one issue voter was foolish and ignorant. Well, we certainly don’t feel foolish and ignorant today.

I just got a letter from a Christian friend who is incarcerated and awaiting sentencing for a crime he regrettably committed when he was away from the Lord. He got right with God and is our missionary on the inside now. He just led a guard to Christ. Praise the Lord!
#goodnews
It seems reasonable for SBC entities to have to produce/publish a 990 each year so that supporting churches can see how the money is being spent. Just telling the churches, “We are very accountable and transparent,” doesn’t cut it.
#trustANDverify
Sexual “preference” or sexual “orientation”? It has to be called “orientation” so that those who are practicing what is clearly called sin in the Bible are not held responsible for their actions. Sounds great ... but God’s not buying it. And He is the judge of the universe.
It is an honor for me to be part of the Conservative Baptist Network. This group is committed to upholding the inerrancy and sufficiency of Scripture. Pastors, be faithful to "preach the Word" without apology or equivocation until He comes.
"Be faithful to preach the Word. If people don’t like it, that’s okay. You didn’t write the Book. I didn’t write the Book. God did. Our job is just to be the herald, and it’s just to deliver the mail and say, ‘Thus says the Lord.’”

I think it is important to determine NOW that you will not participate in COVID Theater 2.0. No masks, social distancing, clot shots, or other forms of non-scientific control.
Jesus is the Savior and the King of the world. But the big question is He YOUR Savior and YOUR King. Sin is personal and so is salvation. No one can believe in Christ for you. “YOU must be born again” (John 3:7).
Choosing a Supreme Court justice on the basis of skin color is the epitome of racism. This amounts to the total dismantling of Martin Luther King’s dream. How far we have regressed in this area is mind boggling.

Champion, Scottie Scheffler’s friends told him about Jesus Christ’s victory this morning before he went on have his victory on the course:
"I am telling you, if there is a God, when I get to heaven I'm not stopping to be interviewed. I am heading straight in. I have earned my place in heaven. It's not even close."
--- Michael Bloomberg
This man is grossly ignorant of God's holiness and his sinfulness.
#tragic
Isn’t it tragically ironic that those who chastise conservatives for “not believing in science,” also believe and promote transgenderism (an obvious scientific impossibility) and the murder of the unborn (because they are fetuses and not human beings)?
#Deceived
All of the rioters, looters, and destroyers of our cities are Biden supporters. Not one of them is a Trump supporter—not even one. That fact alone speaks volumes about Biden, his party, his platform, and his plan for America.
#WakeUpAmerica
If a Christian speaks out against the sin of homosexuality, he/she is labeled homophobic. If one is against the sin of murder, is that one murderophobic?
#smh
I think it is high time we all become Theophobic and embrace a healthy fear of God and a respect for His Word and ways.
We pushed Justice away. Fairness stands off in the distance. Truth has fallen in the streets. Goodness is not allowed in the city. Loyalty is gone, and people who try to do good are robbed. The LORD looked and saw there was no justice. He did not like what he saw. Is. 59:14-15
In light of the recent SBC video on the current events in our nation, I am more excited than ever to be part of the Conservative Baptist Network, a network of SBC believers committed to the inerrancy and sufficiency of Scripture. Join us on 8.31 for a timely gathering of prayer.
We had a great Turning Point Weekend in our student ministry this past weekend. Six students gave their heart to Christ. PTL! Willie Spears was our guest preacher. God used him in great ways! Willie is a SUPER guy with a heart for Jesus!
Elections have consequences. Self-serving fools make poor leaders. Poor leaders ruin a country and bring tremendous hardship and death to its citizenry. Liberal ideologies may sound good on paper, but they never work in practice.
#realitycheck
Wow! This is awesome. God is obviously at work in our President's heart. PTL! May we as believers pray for him each day and ask God to bring an end to this virus that is destroying lives and livelihoods.

#EasterWeekend
I had a great interview today with
@DavidLimbaugh
discussing his newest book The Resurrected Jesus. We talked about David's salvation, Rush's genuine faith, and the call for believers to boldly stand up for the truth and not compromise the truth.
So it seems that the party that riots, loots, pillages, and burns businesses to the ground is also the party that is good with election fraud. Not surprising, but still despicable. May the truth prevail.

said a Muslim had a mental illness because he followed Allah, she would be publicly lambasted and probably fired. (She might also be killed because history has proven that Muslims respond differently to verbal attacks than do Christians.)

Many are worried about climate change. Let me ease your fears: It’s a total lie. Many are unconcerned about facing God in the afterlife. Let me light your fire: It’s coming sure and fast. Now is the time to get right with God in Christ. If you wait, it will soon be too late.
Amen. Few people have ever been so trashed and smeared as

. It is heartbreaking to see it. Dr. P. will always be a hero and a dear friend to me and many others. The world needs to remember that accusations do not equal truth. Thank you for standing firm, Dr. P.
A word for Christians on Twitter:
“Stay away from stupid and senseless arguments. These only lead to trouble,
and God's servants must not be troublemakers. They must be kind to everyone, and they must be good teachers and very patient.” 2 Tim. 2:23-24
Very disappointed that the Law Amendment failed to garner the needed 2/3rds majority. Very disheartening to see key convention leaders urging messengers to vote against it. Based on Paul’s admonition to Timothy, he would be for it.

#SBC2024
Pastors, beware of bringing anyone on your staff who is bitter over something or someone. That bitterness will spring up and many will be defiled. Do the necessary digging to see what is under the hood (and in the heart) of any prospective staff member.
Any city leader voting FOR the defunding of the police needs to be immediately recalled. Those “leaders” are leading their communities into an era of unbridled lawlessness, violence, homicide, and crime. We are quickly becoming a nation of idiots.
#smh
It is truly amazing that Joe Biden is trying to pin the riots on Trump when all the rioters are Biden supporters, and BLM and Antifa are arms of the DNC. I guess there is no limit to how naive and stupid the left believes American voters are.
#WakeUpAmerica
I am excited to hear this news.
@PastorMikeStone
is a godly man and faithful pastor who preaches the Word without apology or equivocation. I hope many of my SBC friends will be in Nashville in June to support his candidacy.
At this time of worldwide unrest and panic, it is important to remember that “God has not given us a spirit of fear.” As we walk in the light with Jesus, He will see us through any trial or passing crisis.

How would America respond to the message Nineveh received, “Yet forty days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” Would we take it seriously and repent? Make no mistake, God hates sin. Cataclysmic judgment is coming to America as we brazenly flaunt our sins before a Holy God.
The silence from the left on the Biden sex allegations shows the world they care nothing about abused women. Ms. Ford’s allegations against Kavanaugh were an uncorroborated farce, but all we heard was “we believe her.” Biden’s accuser is disregarded without discussion.
