"It is [Athanasius'] glory that he did not move with the times; it is his reward that he now remains when those times, as all times do, have moved away."
-C.S. Lewis, Introduction to 'On The Incarnation'

Why is he quoting a word of faith preacher and openly attributing an illustration from him? Why does Howerton constantly affirm false teachers?

I saw the recent sermon comparisons between Josh Howerton and Joby Martin — particularly on the wallet example — and thought, “there couldn’t possibly be more, right?” Well, I was wrong.
Large portions of this same sermon by Josh closely match part 3 of Robert Morris’s "The Blessed Life" series from 2023.
This is a shortened version of my full 11 minute video, which is on Youtube (link below). Both original sermons are ~45 minutes (also linked below).

Nothing says “terrific leader” like losing nine seats, including in deep red states like Mississippi and South Carolina.
America cannot afford one more day of John Thune’s “terrific” leadership.
The too-online don't like @LeaderThune. They need to understand that their anger telegraphs a lack of basic understanding about the Senate and the Constitution, John Thune is a terrific man and terrific leader. The @SenateGOP is lucky to have him.

DeSantis did what he said and grew his base 20 points. Abbott stayed flat for 12 years. Steve Deace: "Much of this party would rather lose to Democrats than lose control of the party to people like us." #CrossPolitic

Young men, if public office is on your mind, here are a few things to consider.
Prove yourself where people already know you. If you're married, lead your wife and children well. Be the man at work who keeps his word and finishes the job. Serve in your church and in your town long before you ask anybody for a vote.
Learn to govern yourself first. If you can't control your temper, your passions, your tongue, or your spending, you are not ready to use the authority Christ delegates to civil servants. "Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city" (Prov 16:32).
Paul told Timothy, "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth" (2 Tim 2:15). Know your Bible. Then learn the law, the budget, and how the body you want to serve actually works.
When Moses chose men to judge Israel, he looked for "able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe" (Exod 18:21). Office will test you on every one of those. Lobbyists will buy you dinner and call you their friend, and sooner or later they will ask for something in return. Some of the people closest to you will want you to look the other way. You need to know before you run that you can carry that weight.
Ask godly men who know your life to tell you the truth about whether you're ready. If you have a faithful church, start there. My church prayed over me and sent me, and I'm grateful for it.
If you're thinking about public office, start getting ready now.

If you were waiting for the hardcover version of Volume 2 Issue 3, then RUN don't walk to order your copy because it's available now!
A smart friend (not sure if he wants tagged credit) pointed out that Seeker Sensitive is now being rebranded as Guest Forward.
Remember: Christ is the First Concern of any local church gathering & His requirements are the only meaningful consideration.
However, when that order is properly in place both believers& observing guests are served appropriately.
Same schtick, once you see it.
We're accustomed to it so we don't see it for what it is: blasphemy.
The summoned church is supposed to prioritize pagans? That's the argument. And it's sold under empty pieties & the masquerade of humility.

Do yourself a favor and ignore anyone who has the temerity to use the term “marital idolatry” in a society where almost half of all marriages end in divorce and only 18% of U.S. adults under age 30 are married. Such a person is not a serious thinker.
If you need evidence of the impulse of some (too many) towards marital idolatry within the contemporary evangelical church, read the comments and QTs for this article. Notice how little attempt is made to engage with the biblically grounded theological argument of the article. Just an inherent posture of outrage at the article and its author (a married male pastor) for apparently attacking and undermining marriage and the family by suggesting spouses might consider sitting with other members of their church family.
Good stuff from @commonplacestdy here.

The guy is legitimately stuck in the worst parts of the early 1990s.
Foreign policy.
Domestic policy.
Email.
Does he drive a Chrysler Imperial? I bet he does.
It really is a perfect revelation.
Folks, I have spent literally the entire day trying to get someone at AOL to unlock my email. For the last eight hours, I have been told that the issue has been escalated to supervisors who would contact me. I haven't heard a thing.
You would think that, since I'm one of the last human beings on the face of the Earth still using AOL, they would take care of this. You'd be wrong.
So, once this gets resolved, hopefully before the next presidential election, I'm dropping them. (I kept them this long out of convenience, but now I have no reason to keep them.)
I'll see you on the radio at 6 p.m., at which time I will address this further.

Can @JDVance start a new party called America First and we leave all the RINOs and NeoCons in the dust?

Dave Moore hates sitting with his wife at church so much he wrote a 3000 word article explaining why he shouldn’t have to do it.

I knew several evangelical girls in college who got “daughter of the king” tattoos.
But that’s not the category Paul reaches for. In Christ, women are sons (υἱοί) of God (Gal. 3:26): heirs, sharing the standing of the Son himself. Women aren’t “other” to God. They’re in the Son.
