As we approach 2025, I want to draw attention to the upcoming @TodayinAmRev account, which will be an exhaustive day-by-day retelling of the revolution, starting in 1775. I usually don't ask for retweets, but I'd actually appreciate if this could be spread as wide as possible.

My hope never was and or will be in any politician, nor in their winning or losing, but in the one who has words of eternal life and who alone can be the death of death. For I am in need of a Savior who has power even of resurrection, and by faith I believe he lives and reigns.

I appreciate Mike Winger's stuff, and think he's doing some really great work. Here are some thoughts responding to a few of his points regarding infant baptism: 1 The problem with the argument of the general pattern in the NT is that it doesn’t speak to whether or not the…

Why I think infant baptism is not biblical. I would NOT be divisive over this topic at all. But I do think the Scripture supports believer baptism and the classic "baptize the household" passages don't hold up under examination. Neither do I think it works to appeal to baptism…

Yesterday, Netflix officially premiered "The Three-Body Problem," a new drama carefully produced by the original team of "Game of Thrones." The drama is adapted from the long science fiction novel "The Three-Body" written by Chinese author Liu Cixin. The opening scene of the…

Sad to see EFS (Eternal Functional Subordination of Son) making rounds again. It still pervades our schools & churches. We keep projecting authority-submission in gender into the Godhead. What is it about evangelicalism that's so seduced by a theology so contrary to orthodoxy?🧵

.@douglaswils, you’ve avoided the second question, and assumed Jeff’s motives. The question was valid. If the Son’s existence *is* submission and the Father’s existence *is* authority, and that is entailed in the begottenness, as you have written, verbatim, how are they…

All three persons of the Trinity are ontologically equal in every way. And Jeff was not asking his questions in good faith at all, and the interaction became manifestly unproductive.

I'm pro-beauty; even majored in art. But "look who has the loveliest buildings" is exactly the criterion you would expect an unregenerate person to use in evaluating Christian traditions.


To say that the Father and Son have different existences is tritheism. It is not Christianity.

Let's take another look at Douglas Wilson's version of the Trinity: "[The Son's] existence *is* obedience — eternal obedience.... The Father’s existence *is* authority." For Wilson, God the Father = authority. This is a man who *literally* worships power.

This is Prov 16:16, by the way. Google translate butchers it.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! The Habsburg household celebrated 🦃 Thanksgiving🦃 with Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, greens and a 🎃pumpkin pie🎃 (note the FALL LEAVES!) We even had an 🇺🇸American guest who said he could attest this was the REAL DEAL!

When a man says, ‘Because I sinned I have lost it (salvation)’, what he is really saying on the other side is, ‘𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥.’ He is wrong in both respects. —Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Exposition of Romans, 5.22

So much of the problem with 'Christian Nationalism' is that both its supporters and its critics benefit from using the terminology as vaguely as possible. Critics like to present a large, coordinated, and fairly united movement, with extreme elements characteristic of the whole.

Thing is, aspects of CN— postliberal political theology, openness to establishment, etc— are totally fine with lots of critics. I would have called myself CN-adjacent a year ago. The issue isn’t the phrase, but the public behavior of the people who have taken it as their banner.

Good point. When a Democrat says Biden is too old, defenders are like “How dare you!?” When a Democrat says Biden is abetting genocide, everyone looks at their shoes.

A bunch of Democrats said Joe Biden was supporting GENOCIDE yesterday. Almost no Democrats came to his defense. How weak a President is he, if his own party isn't defending him from such vile attacks?

WATCH: CNN's Jake Tapper states the obvious: "These last few days have been a real eye-opening period for a lot of people — a lot of Democrats, a lot of progressives — in terms of antisemitism on the left."

Everyone has their own lines on speech and cancelling so I’ll speak for myself: I have a serious issue with digging up statements from years ago just to try to punish someone. I also don’t believe in cancellations for political disagreements or mainstream political views someone…

I think what Mia Khalifa tweeted was absolutely vile, but I'm struggling to understand how firing her for her controversial views is not an example of cancel culture.

In the year 2023, a huge crowd of people holding Palestinian flags outside the Sydney Opera House in Australia are chanting “gas the Jews.” They’re just resisting occupation, guys!

Clearly, the best way to capitalize on this is to start a pointless internecine war over the House Speakership, shut down the government for no comprehensible reason, and nominate Donald Trump for president.

Biggest R advantage on economy since 1991 in newest @GallupNews survey. They’ve been polling this question since 1951 (!!!) semafor.com/article/10/03/…

If, as so many Trump fans tell me, the 2020 election was stolen from him... what will be different this time? If he couldn't stop it as an incumbent president, how is he supposed to stop it while sitting in a courtroom or a prison cell? I'm genuinely asking for theories.
