William and the House of Orange: Building Dynasties & Christian Nations William built a dynasty that has lasted more than 400 years and shaped the face of a nation. In the process, his sons carried on the work of the Reformation in the Netherlands. It required wealth, political savvy, and God’s kindness. In this episode, we’ll talk about building wealth and nations for the sake of a Protestant Christendom. We’re joined by pastor David Reece (@RealDavidReece) to talk about dynastic legacy building in today’s world.

Y'all, one final word on @WilliamWolfe before I go back to ignoring him. In the past 24 hours, I have been overwhelmed with emails, private messages, text messages, etc. from people who have gone to church with him, worked with him, or otherwise been the subject of his vitriol. The number of people who have reached out blows my mind. Pastors who are good, Godly men have sent notes of appreciation with stories of William's vitriol directed at them or their friends. His former co-workers and even those he went to church with have stories. What an appalling and abusive person, and he is clearly a very troubled soul. Often, in political movements, the people with serious issues are used by others to attack others. Those above the abusive person and around them egg them on because they'd never get their hands dirty, but have found a useful fool who has no self-awareness to know how dirty he gets himself. So many of the pastors keep telling me they are fearful of engaging because their Twitter timelines fill up with awful invective from people if they respond. I have seen the examples of them being called demons and snakes. First, I wouldn't be surprised if it is him. Second, even if it is not him, they are a small and loud minority. Set your Twitter notifications to only show you tweets from people who actually follow you, or only from those you follow. Ignore the sound and fury of the tiny group of angry people. Also, know you are not alone and know that he has no power over you. He has alienated himself and his Center for Baptist Leadership by his abusive behavior. The darkness will not overcome the light. Lastly, William clearly is a troubled soul and he needs a lot of prayer. I'm going to back to ignoring him now. The rest of you just know I thank you for your kinds notes and you are not alone.

We have ANOTHER miracle arriving September/October of 2026! Pray baby bean grows strong and healthy!

Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. Purity of heart is holiness. The integrity of looking with singular purpose to the glory of God. The more you grow in holiness, the more you grow in focus on the glory of God, the more you will see God in this life. Justification is by faith alone. All who have the smallest of faiths will see God in the glorified state, but the seeing can be increased in this life. Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.

Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. Godly mercy is a fruit of the Spirit. It tend s toward generating peaceable behavior in others and encourage mutuality. When your godly mercy is despised by men, do not despair. God will return the mercy to you many fold. Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are those who hunger & thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. The desire to be righteous & the desire to see righteousness done. The hunger gnaws you. The thirst drives you to despair. Look to Christ. He is your righteousness. He paid for your sins. He covered you in His righteousness. He will subdue your evil desires. He will destroy the wicked. He will reward the righteous. He will do it now by degrees. He will do it then in fullness. You desire to think, speak, and perform righteously. You desire to see the righteous rewarded and the wicked smashed. The desire is increasingly fulfilled as the Lord sanctifies, but the progress in righteousness is never full until the Lord takes us. These are desires that will ultimately be satisfied in the glorified state when death comes for the believer and at the return of Christ to raise the dead and judge the whole race of man. There is partial satisfaction here and now. God works here and now. Cry out that the Lord would deliver you from sin, deliver you from habituated foolishness. Pray and study and practice and find that the Lord gradually improves your thoughts, words, and behavior by His Word and Spirit. Look forward to the return of the King. Blessed are those who hunger & thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.

Jesus is our Sabbath We rest IN Him
