🚨 Are some people PREDESTINED for hell? This is one of the toughest theological questions Christians grapple with... @CarlosErazoGTG and ChatGPaulC examine the two prominent views of "election" 👇

Charles Spurgeon on how Jesus Christ FEELS when a "horrible sinner" comes to Him in need of mercy: "My Master never denied himself... If you go to him, you will find him at home and on the look-out for you: he will be more glad to receive you than you will be to be received, for he 'waits to be gracious.' He is watching for you. I tell you again that he cannot reject you: that would be to alter his whole character and un-Christ himself. To spurn a coming sinner would un-Jesus him, and make him to be somebody else, and not himself any longer. 'He cannot deny himself.' Go and try him. Go and try him."

There is only one political party in America consistently electing people who... 1) View Christianity as a bad thing 2) View America as The Bad Guys Pastor friends, please stop morally equivocating the current parties. You are helping put both the enemies of our nation and open enemies of Christ in power. *He posted this on a 9/11 memorial

I know this is doesn't make sense to a lot of people, but I do not owe every person who asks me a question my time to answer them. If I answered every "Why did you...!?!?!?" question someone asked me on the internet, I would never get anything consequential accomplished. Ever. It would literally take every second of every day. I did not and do not endorse aspects of PW's theology and said that in the pod ppl point to (they always remove the part where I mention theological disagreement). I do support her work advancing the *policies* she has worked to advance via role w White House Faith Office that will be a blessing to the Church in America. I cheer any manner in which she has influenced the President toward Christ and from my (admittedly very limited, but firsthand) awareness that seems to have legitimately happened in some meaningful ways. I think the rules are very different when you're doing politics which requires extremely broad coalitions to drive change vs when you're doing local church ecclesiology. Daniel, Moses, and Nehemiah could support pagan kings in the political realm for the good of the people of God, but they would not have supported the pagan kings into the priesthood. Different rules. *this is off-cuff response, I'm sure there's something above I could word more carefully

Muslims have a plan to make America a Muslim nation. Marxists have a plan to make America a Marxist nation. Secular Progressives have a plan to make America a Secular Progressive nation. Christians seem to always have a plan to keep Christianity from further influencing our nation by discipling people into political apathy (“we don’t get political”) or political ambiguity (“Jesus isn’t a Republican or Democrat, neither Right nor Left” = primary application of gospel to culture) ^^^this has had very predictable results for the last few decades

Every single time there is a spirit-filled prophetic pastor, the entire world begins to align against that man. This is not new. There are plenty of examples of this in the Bible. Let's talk about the Phillip Anthony Mitchell "scandal."

Spent a truly remarkable evening at the White House last night. That’s all I can say. Buckle up. Incredible things are happening. Was very cool to lock-in with @howertonjosh & @NickJFreitas on a very powerful, new Christian revival happening right now. More on that soon. And when the evening was over — there were Crusaders waiting for us outside the WH Gates. Signs…

When Christians use the word “generosity” they mean “generosity with your own money.” When progressives use the word “generosity” they mean “voting for the government to forcibly redistribute other people’s money.”

When I started preaching, pastors generally were not prepared for what was then the beginning of a groundswell of LGBT and race ideology in rising generation. In the next 10 years we are going to have to be prepared for what is now the beginning of a groundswell of aggressive socialism in my generation and down. … Or we end up answering Q's no one is asking anymore, and unable to answer the Q's everyone is asking now.

🚨 Parents, they are coming for your kids. Don't take my word for it. This is a YALE law professor saying it out loud to a New York Times journalist. This is right out of Romans 1. Well done here, @DouthatNYT.
