Most books are written. This one was born—born through sorrow & suffering. Praise God that the grief of Christians is never without hope. My prayer is that this book will help fellow sufferers as they walk hard roads. press.founders.org/shop/suffering…
Excellent article on God's grace & Hulk Hogan by @davemitz wng.org/opinions/remem…
“The Anglicans also adopted the normative principle of worship.” @TomHicks2LCF (what is a reformed Baptist?)
Parents, do whatever you must do to get your kids out of public schools. Churches, let’s help parents do this!
BREAKING: The nation's largest teachers union just scrubbed their 2025 handbook from their website. Too bad for them, I saved the 434-page document. 👇🧵
For no particular reason I've started reading @TomHicks2LCF book "What is a Reformed Baptist?" again, along with Renihan's work on the London. I'm super thankful for @FoundersMin, @BaptistRenewal, @LondonLyceum. Oh, and @jake_stone89.
"If we add the Nicene Creed to the BFM 2000, then that will stop Baptist seminary professors from drifting away from classical Trinitarianism," he said, as he drifted away from the BFM 2000 while teaching at a Southern Baptist Seminary.
🎙️NEW EPISODE: Today on The Sword & The Trowel podcast, @tomascol and @GundenGraham discuss the recent controversy involving Chip and Joanna Gaines and their new reality TV show. They talk about the need for Christians to maintain clarity in the face of sin and the role of the…
The definition of a “Baptist” includes far more than our distinguishing doctrines and practices. What it means to be “Baptist” involves the whole of “Baptist identity.” founders.org/articles/what-…

This is an important partnership. Those who are sent to establish beachheads for the gospel & plant churches must be thoroughly trained for such important work. Pray for God’s blessing on this partnership.
We are excited to announce our new partnership with @FoundersSem @FoundersMin to empower the next wave of biblically, rooted and theologically robust missionaries and church planters. Read more about this exciting new program: abwe.org/blog/abwe-and-…

The Overlooked Skills That Make or Break a Pastor, Part 2 Choosing Your Quirks Well A few years ago, I was staying with a friend who was training for the ministry. I had traveled in from out of town, and my shirt was wrinkled from the suitcase. I asked where the dryer was so I…
What a kind gift from @NancyDeMoss! This beautiful, wide-margin Bible made @donnaascol’s day and she has taken firm ownership. Thank you!
I love @gracebaptist & people like @tckteacher who has organized adults & young people to lead this Pilgrim’s Progress Camp for our kids this week. Pray that God will change hearts & raise up many Valiants-for-Truth, Christianas, & Great Hearts among them.
Serpentine. Perhaps at some point in the future his seminary studies will actually require him to read the second chapter of Luke.
NEW: Texas House Democrat and pastor James Talarico suggests the Bible supports abortion, says there is no Biblical basis for Christians to be anti-abortion. "So this idea that to be a Christian means you have to be anti gay and anti abortion... There really is no historical,…
John MacArthur’s poise, humility, and clarity while defending his views at the IFCA meetings was remarkable. @tomascol recommended listening in the latest @FoundersMin podcast. Links below.
Good job @LewisRicherson. How money is spent to pay salaries &, in this case, coerce speech, is “germane to the budget.” These board members embarrassed themselves & their constituents. Taxpayers should not stand for this—in La. or anywhere that upholds 1A rights!
Watch as pastor @LewisRicherson gets repeatedly interrupted while speaking at the East Baton Rouge Library Board in defense of another pastor, Luke Ash, who was recently fired from his job at the library for refusing to use fake “trans” pronouns! Pastor Ash’s firing was…
How is this not compelled speech and a violation of the 1st Amendment? I hope Pastor Ash will hold them accountable for this egregious violation of his God-given rights & responsibilities. Grateful for @LewisRicherson calling attention to this.
Last night I addressed the EBR Library Board. Two board members yelled at me for the majority of my statement. BC Pastor Ash's situation was not on the agenda, I could only speak to what was on the agenda. The budget was one of those issues on the agenda. Budgets fund priorities…
