We were both at Moody Bible Institute in the early 2010s. Brandon was exceedingly talented in theology, but didn’t believe any of it. His apostasy is saddening and destructive to the witness of Christ.
This is a pastor. He leads a congregation. He has a large following on TikTok. Lord have mercy.

PCA BCO Amendments Update: It’s clear that both overture 23 and overture 37 have FAILED to pass at the presbytery level. BCO amendments required at least 2/3 approval out of our 88 presbyteries. It’s clear that neither will pass that threshold. Neither will be considered at GA.

Ordinary mean of grace ministry is why I serve as a pastor in the PCA. No gimmicks, just pure and true religious expression. You can transport reformed Christianity to the ends of the earth. All you need is the Word, water, bread, and wine.
What if the Church, purged of addiction to celebrity and neon, simply offered bread, wine, water, and the word to hungry people longing for community?

Losing two father's of the faith in the PCA within 24 hours is painful. As the PCA celebrates a year of hopeful Jubilee, it is accompanied with much pain and sorrow (Covenant School, Reeder, Keller). May God's peace be found in moments like this (Phil 4:6-7).

I really appreciate Illiana Presbytery. We are a small and modest presbytery. Most of our churches are under 100. This means the work of presbytery is done with almost no politics. Men are often swayed by healthy debate. It's been a refreshing and toxic free experience.

I’m preaching at First Church PCA in Illinois. I haven’t stood in this pulpit since June 12, 2016 (the day before I moved to RTS-JXN). This church helped guide me into the ministry and was the place I met my wife. A historically Dutch congregation that moved into the PCA in 2014.

Watching the PCUSA GA this week was a huge black pill. Very little talk about the salvific nature of Christ and the gospel. The gospel of the mainline seems to be affirming inclusion. I know some hope to reclaim the mainline, but it’s never been in a worst state than it is today.

RIP Side B christianity. No PCA minister in good standing should continue to support this movement. It is good for the peace and PURITY of the church to expel this doctrine from us. The continued unraveling of this movement is to the chagrin of those who once championed them.

As a pastor, please bring your children to worship with you. They need to worship the triune God just as much as you do. Do not neglect them by denying them this privileged opportunity. They need to hear the preaching of the Word. They need to learn the songs. They need to pray.

I had the honor of serving this congregation for about 4 years under Randy Thompson. A delightful congregation. Randy will be retire within the next month after 20 years of service to this congregation (around 40 years of service to the denomination).
On April 21, First Presbyterian Church in Tuscumbia, Alabama, celebrated its 200th anniversary. The church was founded in 1824 with 13 members. More than 300 people attended the anniversary celebration.
