If getting a meeting with your “pastor” is a “once in a lifetime” opportunity, you don’t have a pastor.

Christian brothers and sisters, stop tolerating wicked speech and behavior from your favorite influencer. "But we NEED him to help us WIN" This is worldly thinking. "Do not be misled. Bad company corrupts good character." - 1 Cor. 15:33

Those in the SBC who think I no longer should have anything to say about the SBC profoundly underestimate the power of love. I’d served southern Baptist women for 40 years by the time I left. And when I left, I left directly on their behalf because it became disturbingly clear to me that the SBC as an entity was more interested in protecting shepherds than the sheep entrusted to their care. When protecting the pulpit from women becomes a far greater priority than protecting women (& children) from an abusive pulpit, something is wrong. Which has been the greater problem: women trying to become your senior pastors or pastors misusing or abusing women? My biggest concern is that what happened with the CRT witch-hunt will happen now in regard to women. The overreach resulted in numerous pastors, teachers and professors dropping the immensely important biblical teachings against racism rather than risk being accused of CRT. I heard from pastors at that time who preached against racism and already had emails Monday morning from people in their congregation accusing them of CRT. Because the difference wasn’t clarified, they lumped all of it into the one category. The aim became: shut every mouth to shut some mouths. I pled for SBC seminary presidents and leaders to please clarify to pastors and teachers and, thereby, to congregations & students what qualified as CRT and what indeed was the proper and deeply rooted and needed biblical approach to anti-gospel racism. Crickets. I see the same potential here. I have never once fought for SBC women to take over church pulpits. I have esteemed and supported the role of male senior pastors. My own pastors would tell you that. If you think I was in the SBC trying to lead a revolution against men, you are clearly not familiar with my materials. What I believed then and believe now is that God has called both men and women to serve their churches and communities and proclaim the gospel. He has poured out his Holy Spirit on men AND on women, calling them to broadcast the good news. You have beaten the drum loudly about what women in SBC churches cannot do. So, what CAN they do? Clarity here is essential. What is a woman to do who has been gifted BY GOD to teach the Bible, especially if her church has moved to the community group model and there is no Sunday school to teach? Here is what I see on the horizon. If you leave these matters involving women so vague that it becomes about pastoral roles/actions rather than the title of pastor, it will shift to the subjective rather than objective. I wish I was naïve enough to think that wasn’t the point to some of these leaders but, sadly, I’m not. What if that senior pastor doesn’t allow a woman on the prayer team to pray over people at the end of the service because he deems she is acting pastorally? What if the pastor sees that a woman’s Sunday school class of WOMEN is getting, in his estimation, a little too big? Can he just decide she acting pastorally and remove her from the role? Can she counsel people with her God-given wisdom and knowledge or would she be acting pastorally? The examples could go on and on. And, of course, I realize many would not use their positions to disesteem women but surely you and I both know countless others would. God only knows how many unqualified, unloving, mean-spirited men are in pastoral positions but the obsession remains the women. I have no desire to see SBC women leave the denomination. I loved and flourished in that denomination. I want them to be able to flourish in their spiritual gifts. I want them to be esteemed in their serving inside and outside their homes. I want them to be able to serve Jesus and proclaim his glorious gospel. I know I’m going to get hit here. That’s fine. But you should know I will fight for them to the death. Because I love them. And, yes, whether they love me or not.

I don't think "just support the less bad candidate" is simple for public figures with big platforms. Individuals can support "less bad" candidates by voting for them while loudly decrying their flaws. But in a two-party system, if a public figure loudly decries the flaws 1/

RT @NickQuient: Egalitarians do not compromise God’s word on women pastors. We need better from SBC leaders on this point. This is piety si…

Conservative evangelical (fundamentalist) pastor Loran Livingston, (Central Church, Charlotte, NC) calls Paula White a “heretic, blaspheming, Jezebel” noting that President Trump made the wrong choice for his faith advisor.

If a woman speaks to a crowd of pastors, is it evidence of her teaching men? Or is it only “teaching” if she uses Scripture? Or is it only wrong if she explains Scripture, and in that case, does it suddenly become “preaching” regardless of the setting? Or is it only preaching if there’s a pulpit involved? A Sunday morning service? A title? Meanwhile, the same movement insisting women must never “teach men” somehow has no issue platforming women like Megan Basham to address rooms full of male pastors when it serves their cultural or political priorities. So apparently a woman can instruct, influence, warn, persuade, and shape the thinking of men… as long as everybody agrees not to call it “teaching.” She can serve, sweat, pray, and deliver the same exact message about Jesus as any man she knows- as long as we don’t call her a pastor. If this doesn’t feel like God’s heart, I suspect it’s because we all pretty much know it’s not.

Miller is counting on the average American’s ignorance of the immigration and naturalization process. He says that once the refugees are naturalized, they have the same vote as U.S. citizens. That’s because naturalization is the process that makes them U.S. citizens.

This is how a president speaks.

This is terrific news for Scotland. The fight continues, but thankful for this outcome. christiandaily.com/news/evan…

I even try to use proper grammar and structure in speaking to people. Maybe that comes from being bilingual and having to think about grammar and word order all the time when switching languages.

If this is an honest mistake, how would he get this wrong? If it's not honest, why would he lie about it?

I should probably share this for public record. I don’t think anyone has talked about this book or how it fits the timeline yet. Published October 13, 2020. Forward by Bill Johnson. List of contributors include multiple people who knew about Shawn Bolz’s perversions and fake prophecy before the book was published. From the way back machine I see that the now dead website (revivalsecretsDOTcom) was still selling copies as late as the end of 2025. New copies are still available on Amazon.

I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it’s for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We’re demanding immediate answers and action.

It's scandalous and wicked that anyone, especially a Christian, would care more about their tribal narrative than about the truth.

I say this as gently as possible, but if anyone still thinks Bethel carries a "special anointing," or experiences an increased measure of the Holy Spirit, or moves in a genuine "prophetic culture," I dare you to watch this. Also, @MikeWingerii is a gift to the body of Christ. Pray for his protection, strength, and endurance. youtu.be/GH05S53QlY0?si=5nHY…

Who are you gonna believe? Me, or your lying eyes?

When we critique Trump, we often hear, “But where were your critiques of Biden?” Here’s the difference: the Biden administration didn’t use Jesus, the Bible, or Christian language to justify its policies. MAGA does, and large parts of the evangelical church cheer it on. Any administration that uses Christianity to defend something blatantly unchristian will get a Holy Post call-out. @philvischer, @skyejethani & Mike Erre on 🎙️Holy Post 663

Jesus did not, to be sure, say to his disciples: go ye into all the world and teach democracy, capitalism, and privatization of business. He did not name a political apostolate. He gave priority to a gospel that sustains freedom, justice, and Grace. ~Carl F.H. Henry

The folks advocating for state Christianity always try to reassure folks who remember that state Christianity burns Christians at the stake by telling us that they have no interest in persecuting other Christians when they ascend their worldly throne. 1/3
