Mr. MacArthur, I’ve lost respect for your ministry. Your smug response of “Go home” when asked to comment on Beth Moore is not only mysoginist, it’s unscriptural, and contrary to the character of Christ. #ChurchToo #BethMoore #SBC2020 #JohnMacArthur

Our daughter's son, Henry, was born two years ago with cerebral palsy. He has overcome so much with sheer determination and two loving, parents. Yesterday at a family birthday party, I captured Henry's first steps without a walker. An emotional moment. #CerebalPalsey #GodIsGood

Today IMB President David Platt talks about radical Muslims coming to faith in Christ. VP Mike Pence talks about radical Muslims “on the run.” Which is it? “Come to Christ” or “Run from us.” Two different messages. SBC must determine which one takes priority. #SBCAM18 #SBC18 #???

One of my heroes, economist Milton Friedman (1912-2006), understood what caused inflation. He also knew what it took for a government to cure it. His analogy to alcoholism is revealing. #SVB #Inflation #gold #silver #BankingCrisis #economy #Fed #istoriaministries #wadeburleson

A word of caution. In my experience, when a child predator sexually abuses a 12-year-old for nearly five years, there are typically others. That's not a judgment of Mr. Morris. It's a statement from experience. Don't be surprised if other victims appear soon. #GatewayPeople

The SBC debate about the "office" of "pastor" is bizarre. There is no "office of pastor" in the Bible, like the "office of the President." The shepherd is to serve. The Greek word wrongly translated as "office" is "praxis," a word that speaks of service, not authority. #SBC23

"The local churches and believers are accountable to God in these matters of sexual abuse, and no one else." No mam, you're wrong. Child sexual abuse is a crime against humanity. Law authorities must be involved before the perp is ever confronted by the local church. #sbc21

By What Standard? Tom Ascol and the Founders flounder over authority. My initial response to a film that documents the unbiblical belief in some Christian quarters that men spiritually rule over women. #TomAscol #ERLC #SBC2020 #BethMoore #ByWhatStandard

Jeff VanVonderen, the author of The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse, asked me if the SBC understood that at the heart of all child abuse and sexual assault is predatory power, control over the victims, and the authority of the abuser? #SBC19 #SexualAbuse

@MessiEra10_ @POTUS That's one of the most absurd statements on Twitter in the history of absurd Tweets. In the old days, if you didn't repay your loans, YOU'D go to prison. It's called the Poor House. My, how the world is upside down from the truth, reality, and actual progress. #Integrity

Complementarianism is a word hijacked to mean authoritarianism. Join other biblicists (e.g. real complementarians) for an SBC rally this Tuesday, June 12, at 11:30 am. Let's return the SBC to a biblical view of women. #SBC18 #SBCAM18 #SBCForSuchATime

SBC legal counsel, you advise the chair we can't "legally" put in the SBC official record a carefully crafted PUBLIC document prepared by an outside legal firm (paid for by IMB) that recommends what the IMB should do to prevent sexual abuse on the mission field? #SBC19 #Stunning

In a free society, it's either a free press or a free pass when it comes to the abuse of power. Thank God for old fashioned newspapers who go after abusive power. Every American should have a newspaper subscription. It's an investment in our freedom. #HoustonChronicle #FreePress

Amazing how "autonomy" goes out the window when the SBC EC doesn't like decisions of a church (FBC Orlando), an agency (ERLC), or messengers (2019 SBC). Open the checkbook Ronnie. The EC just proved connectionalism to the courts. Stunning. #SBC2020 #SBCBylaws #SBCExComm

All that is best in the great churches of all countries is not what is national in them, but what is universal. Though planted in native soil, a church blossoms best in the unpatriotic air that speaks the same Gospel language to all nations. #Gospel #Kingdom #TrueChristianity

An SBC database of abusers would've prevented this SBC tragedy. We've been so concerned with keeping our women in submission we've forsaken our children to sexual predilection. Time to revisit my failed 2007 SBC motion to establish a predator database . #SBCAM18 #SBC18 #ChurchToo

“Instead of the Mission Board trying to help, they were instructed by an army of lawyers to not talk to my parents. This ‘guidance’ trickled throughout the entire institution from the convention, to the state, and then the local association.” @IMB_SBC #SBC18 #MeToo #churchtoo

For those who believe in the infallible and inspired Scriptures like I do, this article gives 5 reasons why women can pastor God's people. At least read it before you attempt to refute it. #SBC2020 #BFM #JohnMacArthur #BethMoore #CBE #ChristianLeadership

Pastor is a "verb of service" not a "noun of status." Every Christian is called to shepherd others to Jesus. If your definition of pastor "one with spiritual authority or divine power over others" then Christian women cannot be pastors. Neither can Christian men. #KingdomService

James McDonald is a Southern Baptist pastor. Harvest Bible is a Southern Baptist Church. Southern Baptists are complicit for the debacle at Harvest by affirming McDonald as a Southern Baptist. Read why here - #SBC2019 #SBCToo #Authoritarianism #Ordination

In 2006,Condoleezza Rice, US Sec. of State, spoke at the SBC. Messengers applauded as she explained how the US bombed the Taliban terrorists in Bora Bora. I wrote in 2006 the invitation for her to speak wasn’t wise. I’m consistent, old, and Republican. #SBCAM18 #SBC18 #StillSure

It's helpful for every Southern Baptist to understand that the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message is NOT a creed. Believe the Scriptures, not what Paige Patterson tells you the Scripture says: #SBC2020 #2000BFM #Freedom #WomenInMinistry
