First the state told us when to worship. Now they are telling us "how" to worship. ( no singing) We have been patient, and safe. (Even wearing masks) Our church will sing to the Lord Sunday. The heavens declare His glory and so will we. Happy Independence Day.

Just finished ⁦ @megbasham ⁩ invaluable book, Shepherds for Sale. As a pastor for 40 years, and a Bible college president, I have seen the effects of these “Shepherds” leading men into woke ideology and away from truth. Every pastor and church leader should get a copy today!

Amy Coney Barrett was attacked today for having adopted children, for once signing a pro-life statement, and for speaking to a Christian group about legal principles. The smugness of pro-infanticide senators was indicative of their attitude toward people of faith.

That Harvard, founded with the motto "Truth for Christ and the Church,” would appoint an atheist as head chaplain is testimony of apostasy. That a Christian pastor would congratulate him is a caution of where certain interpretations of gospel-centered and social justice can lead.
