Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church | SureWord Baptist College | Husband | Daddy | Grandpa | Christian | Patriot | Author | I block trolls, idiots and heretics.
I do not engage in debates, answer silly questions and respond to endless conversation on Twitter. I get on, post my 2 cents, get off and go back to work. I don’t even read all the responses I’m tagged in. Sorry!
If you genuinely want to know where I stand, I’ve got hundreds and
Our church voted UNANIMOUSLY tonight (with secret ballot) to add the following statement to our Church Bylaws and Constitution. I am rejoicing in the joy of pastoring a unified group of Baptists. How rare is that??!!
AMENDMENT:
We strongly believe in the biblical command to
I don’t think we can even begin to comprehend how many people will be in Hell that prayed “the sinner’s prayer.”
One of the greatest tools of Satan is the idea that getting a person to pray a prayer will save them.
This relentless pursuit of numbers has doomed many lost souls.
My wife reminded me of a statement that I made over 20 yrs ago.
The 3 things that will unify the one world church:
1. Modern translations
2. Contemporary music
3. Charismatic sign gifts
Where those three things are found, sound doctrine is pushed aside for the sake of unity.
@DC_Draino
I’ve said it for years. It appears everyone in Washington is compromised. They are all blackmailing one another. The dirt that they have on each other, whether real or fabricated, is enough to clog the wheels and create a logjam.
Nothing constructive is getting done while
Dear Preacher boy,
It doesn’t matter how many books he’s written.
Or how many years he’s been preaching.
Or how long he pastored.
Or if he has a Bible College - online or otherwise.
If he defends pedophiles and covers up their sin - DO NOT LET HIM MENTOR YOU!!
Run away. Now!
If your idea of “advancing” the church is tossing the King James Bible and going to corrupt, doctrinally-weak, modern translations that are full of mistakes, then I’ll pass.
I strongly encourage young, impressionable pastors to avoid this meeting.
Gen.3:1; Romans 16:17, 18
It’s not the kids of drunkards that are promoting social drinking today.
It’s mostly preacher’s kids that never saw their mother beaten or was hungry or abused by a drunken daddy.
It’s the ones that were sheltered from it that now want to turn God’s grace into lasciviousness.
My heart breaks for the many people that have been hurt in militant, cultish IFB churches.
I also hurt for those that have grossly overcorrected to avoid those unbiblical and harmful practices.
People seem to forget there’s a ditch on both sides of the road. Be careful!
Unsaved people should feel welcomed and loved at church, but they should not feel comfortable.
Sinful man will never be comfortable in the presence of a holy God.
Adam and Jonah both hid from God’s presence because of sin. Gen. 3:8; Jonah 1:3, 10
Conviction is not comfortable!
Pastors and churches need to seriously consider adding an amendment to their church constitution that states they will not comply with government mandated church closures.
Cite chapter and verse and state it is a conviction and goes against your religion.
You’re gonna need it.
Make sure all the nutty things you are saying about me you also say about your beloved RC Sproul, because we believe the same on this issue.
God has exalted His Word above His name. I was taught to dress with respect when we deliver that Word to God’s people.
If I thought my Bible had mistakes in it, I’d throw it in the garbage, walk away from ministry and go back to building houses.
But it doesn’t! The same God that INSPIRED His Word also PRESERVED it for all generations!
We have entered the twilight zone, ya’ll.
Preachers are changing their position on literally everything from music to modesty to manuscripts and then act hurt and virtue signal with disapproving lectures over the “outrage” of being told they compromised.
What planet are we on?
Just a word of wisdom to the men, especially the preachers.
Avoid texting teen girls and women without your wife in the group text. Be wise!
Put up tall, solid boundaries and keep yourself and the ladies you are called to serve as free of Satan’s traps as possible. 2 Cor. 2:11
Watching some church videos online is painful and heartbreaking.
Seeing these Millennials in their skinny jeans, T-shirts, tattoos, neck-chains and ESV pretending to be a God-called, Holy Ghost anointed preacher is like watching a cat trying to bark.
And seeing them prance
Our country is gone.
The open border is nothing but an invasion.
Inflation is out of control.
Our legal system is corrupt. The White House is compromised.
Congress is a bunch of spineless crooks.
Crime is out of control.
Perversion is increasing.
But…!!
The church still
Just in case anyone doesn’t know where I stand, homosexuality is an unnatural sinful lifestyle that goes completely against the design of our Creator.
No matter how many people and corporations try normalize it, it will still be an abominable behavior that I refuse to affirm.
Experiment: Tell your child’s coach that they can’t make the game because they are going to church, and see if their response is as understanding and patient and kind as you expect your pastor’s to be when you tell him you’re all missing church for your kid’s ballgame. 😏
We are living in an era where many professing “Christians” not only miss more church than they attend, but they will rudely attack any preacher that has the courage to say anything about it.
All while many 3rd-world saints meet together underground in fear of their lives.
I hate to say it, but here goes. The Lord knows I hope I’m wrong.
It will probably take a complete financial meltdown and a nationwide EMP for America to turn back to God. If God took away the material wealth and our obsession with technology, people would have nowhere else to
Just an observation:
Some pastors seem to think that people don’t come to their church because of the preaching. And that is definitely the case many times. (2 Tim. 4:3, 4)
However…
Sometimes, it is the moderating of the service that drives people away. If you are a young
❗️❗️Newsflash❗️❗️
Everything I tweet is going to sound like an independent, fundamental Baptist.
That’s what I am and have been for 50 years.
Don’t act surprised or shocked. If you don’t want to hear it, unfollow me.
Your faux outrage is ridiculous.
It won’t deter me. 😉
Anyone teaching that any part of the Bible is unreliable is echoing the voice of the serpent, Satan.
If any part of God’s Word cannot be trusted, none of it can be.
Mark and avoid any man that pretends to be more accurate and trustworthy than God.
I’ve been in Bible-believing Baptist churches for over 50 years, and never have I heard the Doctrines of Sanctification and Holiness referred to as “back-loading the Gospel with works”.
Twitter is infested with heretics, and I block every heretic I find.
All day, every day.
I announced in church yesterday morning that will be voting in two weeks as a church to add the following amendment to our church By-laws and Constitution. After reading it and displaying it to the church on the screens, they stood to their feet with a long and loud standing
🌏MISSIONS RANT🌍
It is becoming more and more common for a missionary to raise support from churches that believe a certain way, and then get to the field and change.
For the record, it is completely their perogative to change their position on music, manuscripts and modesty.
It doesn’t matter how many…
▪️salvations you have each week.
▪️you had baptized.
▪️new members joined.
▪️books you write.

▪️busses you run.
▪️ministries you have.

If you cover up sexual abuse and pedophiles, you’re a disgrace
There are 100’s of IFB pastors and churches that stand against sexual abuse and defend victims. They may not have written a book or made the news, but they are on the right side of this issue.
Many are not even on social media but they exist. I know because they are my friends.
It was a good week for the church.
Some men stood firm.
Some caved.
Some apostates were flushed out of hiding.
Some church members now know what they’ve got in the pulpit.
Some young preachers grew a backbone.
Some truth was defended.
Yep. It was a good week for the church.
Anyone that’s ever had security training knows the importance of responding to a DLR (Doesn’t Look Right).
Ignoring it can result in disaster.
This new brand of Christianity that minimizes sound doctrine and demonizes biblical judgment is a tool of Satan to destroy the church.
Church members are welcome to spend time with the pastor and his wife when they are not in crisis, falling apart, angry, disgruntled or critical.
Pastors and their wives are people too - with a desire to build great, long term relationships that are mutually beneficial.
Over 4,000 people groups still do not have a single page of the Bible in their own language while English-speaking apostates continue to spend millions of dollars revising and re-translating literally hundreds of English “Bible” versions.
God have mercy on us.
FYI - There is a big difference in believing the King James Bible is God’s preserved Word for English-speaking people, and the KJV Only crowd.
A big difference.
So before you start throwing labels around that you read about on Twitter, do your research and learn something.
Dear Young Preacher,
Don’t let the compromising, tech savvy, cool pastors on Twitter influence you.
Take it from me, the large majority of solid, biblical, faithful, fruitful, separated pastors are not on social media.
The only reason I’m on here is to remind you of that.
The HeGetsUs commercials are ungodly, unbiblical, liberal, progressive, woke propaganda garbage.
They are hijacking and perverting the Gospel in order to destroy the Gospel.
Jesus came to save people from their sins; not affirm it and not to condone it. Of course He didn’t
I’m afraid many Baptist do not really believe this verse.
It’s not “works” salvation.
It’s a salvation that works.
2 Cor. 5:17
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
Salvation WILL change you.
When it comes to earnestly contending for the faith, I will not allow compromisers and fence-hoppers to dictate the rules of engagement.
Those that have waved the white flag of surrender do not get to tell the rest of us how to fight.
You can try, but we won’t listen.
Trans-textual: a pastor that was saved, called to preach, equipped and trained for ministry from a King James Bible, only to abandon it later with scorn and insults for a cooler, more trendy translation with the hope of greater popularity and more followers.
This platform is proving to be as unreliable for factual news as every other social media app. The lies and misinformation is like a torrential flood.
The only reliable source of truth is still the Word of God.
Psalm 19:7-9
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the
Every time I post something about being faithful to church services and church events, I get swamped with comments and debates about hypothetical situations, extreme scenarios, and long detailed rebukes from invalids.
🤦🏻♂️
I will never stop preaching faithfulness to church. Ever.
If you attack, belittle, insult and smear a man over a tweet because he pointed out a man that attacks, belittles, insults and smears his Bible, your calls for love and unity are blatantly fake.
You’re not spiritual. You’re a phony.
You are virtue signaling, and it’s pathetic.
⚠️REPENTANCE⚠️- I’m talking about the old fashioned, Holy Ghost rending, New Testament requiring’, soul-savin’ kind.
Not this new-fangled, watered-down, “turning from unbelief to belief” definition.
That’s called BELIEVING!!
Repentance and believing are two sides of the same
Have you noticed that it seems that only Bible believing, conservative Christians are blamed for young people leaving the church?
For some reason, folks never blame the world for mocking them, Hollywood for polluting them, social media for enticing them, public schools for
Very few people believe the Bible is the Final Authority anymore.
To most people today, it’s just a book full of good ideas and suggestions.
If you make yourself the exception to everything it says, none of it applies to you, or you get defensive when you are confronted with
Ever noticed that there’s not a single epistle from Titus and Timothy to Paul telling him what to do and not do and how to do it?
There’s a noticeable lack of humility in many of today’s young pastors.
You can be bold, confident and anointed without thinking you know it all.
When people you’ve known for years start to change their standards, don’t let them shame you into changing with them.
Many times, they will resort to a wide variety of tactics in order to boost their confidence in their compromise.
Don’t fall for it. Just because they let their
The same thing that is happening to America is happening to our churches.
The open borders have allowed non-citizens unfiltered access to rob us of our sovereignty, pollute our ideology and dilute our identity.
Churches filling up with the unregenerate world is robbing us of
Some of the most disingenuous and divisive people on the internet are those who say all independent Baptist churches and pastors are the same. That is simply not true. Each one is unique in multiple areas. If they say otherwise, they are either ignorant or dishonest.
I’m tired of getting emails and text messages from Republican candidates asking for contributions.
The only way I will give a single penny to any of these candidates is if they can convince me that they will take my hard-earned money and buy a backbone with it.
My Shih Tzu,
Informing sheep that wolves are on the loose is one of the most loving things a shepherd can do.
You don’t hug the wolf.
You warn the sheep.
2 Tim. 4:14, 15a “Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil… Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.”
Dear Lord,
Please forgive me if I ever mock, belittle, criticize, reprove, rebuke, insult or use sarcasm toward anybody that tries their best to stay further away from sinful behavior than I do, or those that encourage others to do so as well.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen 🙏🏻
When I was growing up, a “shut-in” wasn’t able to go to the Golden Corral, the beauty parlor, the grocery store or attend the Sunday family reunions for hours.
These days, in many cases, it just means they can’t go to church.
Many of the Senior Saints need a Holy Ghost revival!
I had all the mothers stand up this morning. You want to know what was crazy?
They were all women.
Even up here in liberal Baltimore, we didn’t have one male mother in the service.
Amazing huh? 😏
I just smile at people that say they’re too tired to go back to church on Sunday night to hear a pastor that’s been up studying and praying since very early and has already preached at least once, and doesn’t get a nap for studying all afternoon for the night message. 🤦🏻♂️
Legalism: adding works to God’s free gift of salvation
Applying that label to preachers that teach that every born-again child of God should live a life of reverence, holiness, sanctification, abstaining from worldliness and consecrated purity is either ignorant or disingenuous.
Apostasy comes in 2 stages:
1. Voluntary - “And they shall turn away their ears from the truth…”
2. Involuntary - “…and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Tim. 4:4
Satan will gladly finish what you started. Rejecting truth always creates vulnerability.
Mark this down. Any independent Baptist pastor who invites a Southern Baptist pastor that uses modern translations in to preach in his church will eventually follow suit. Mark. It. Down. If you want to see where a pastor is headed, take note of where he is looking and who he
If mocking Christians that are more separated than you, criticizing believers that have higher standards than you, discrediting God’s people that try to live more holy than you, and calling a hatred of worldliness “legalism” is your idea of “earnestly contending for the faith,” I
These pastors that call us legalists for still having dress standards for our church platforms are going to be eating a lot of crow when someday soon a man insists on singing in their choir while wearing a skirt and high heels.
I remember a time when Christians didn’t cuss.
Come to think of it, they still don’t.
James 3:9, 10
Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.
I just received a phone call from the family of
@Preachertbell
in Sanford Maine. He’s currently in the hospital with some concerning health issues. They’ve asked us to rally the troops to pray for him during this time. His phone is off so he will not be able to take phone calls
I’ve come to the conclusion that the only thing that is unacceptable today is saying anything critical about things that the Bible teaches are unacceptable.
The transgender fad is an abomination and an affront to Almighty God. It is a cruel and satanic cult.
The fastest growing religion in America right now is the transgender movement. No rational person can go along with this insane ideology.
(Genesis 1:27 KJV)
It is not “the prayer” that saves a person. It is faith. The Bible says that repeatedly. I’m not against a sinner praying and asking Christ to save them. I’m talking about “winning someone to Christ” by having them “pray a prayer.” I’ve met so many that trusted in “the prayer.”
God’s perfect plan for marriage is for two born-again virgins (a man and a woman) to get married for life.
We must get back to preaching this from our pulpits without fear or favor.
Dear Twitter followers,
Calling me a cult because I am an independent Baptist will get you nowhere.
Replying to everything I say by calling me an IFB cult will just get you blocked.
And calling me KJVO just makes you look dumb. I’m going to guess I’ve got more books in more
A born-again child of God has no business listening to music with profanity, or music that exalts, promotes, encourages or makes light of alcohol, fornication, adultery, cheating, lying or breaking the law. Or so-called "Christian" music that has unbiblical doctrine, promotes
