As a norm, I don't comment on the goings on at other churches.
That being said, it should be noted: That the nonsense coming out of FBC Dallas today is a false religion.
It is the false religion of nationalism.
Like the prosperity gospel, it should be named & repudiated.

I have over 200 hours in graduate theological education and in that time I never had a single female professor. Not one.
There is no biblical case to be made for not encouraging/inviting qualified women to teach and train students and pastors in seminary contexts.

I swear some of the “progressive” *Christians* on this site would have just told Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego:
“Listen, if you put the idol within the broader context of Babylonian art, you’ll see that bowing down to it is really no big deal.”

Just a note:
If your pastor fully affirms the entirety of the Apostle's Creed, Nicene Creed, & Chalcedonian Creed; they are not a *liberal* in any way that makes sense within the context of the global & historic church.
I don't care what the anti-woke police say.
Go with God.

The gospel makes dead people alive.
And then after that...
It makes bad people better.
These two things aren't mutually exclusive: The gospel that justifies is the gospel that sanctifies.

The pagans will continue to co-opt Christian symbols, but they can never possess them.
Try and steal the sacred all you want - the earth is the Lords.
The rainbow, the supper, crowns of glory - it all belongs to Him.
Every knee will bow, every tongue confess: Christ is Lord.

*Just a note for clarity: Book/Topic studies are not bible studies.*
If you invite me to a *bible* study and the book we are reading/studying is not the bible. It's not a *bible* study.

Just a regular reminder:

This is wickedness. Utter wickedness.

Today, in the midst of this winter storm: deacons from Mosaic called widows, took in moms and their kiddos, checked on a few of our local homeless friends, and gathered and shared prayer requests via Slack. All day.

One of the most heartbreaking realities of ministry is having people who you have invested in for years just disappear. Ghosting completely.
Some pastors don't care to know people. But many more are faced with the trial of extending care only to be ignored completely.

Turns out biblical illiteracy is a bipartisan issue. This is not only a twisting of scripture, it’s the kind of bible washed militarism that is disgusting on both sides of the aisle.

After years of prayer, Dew began to follow Jesus this summer. He's my friend and I love him.

What are these? They are the sermon notes of a 4th grader who worships with their family at Mosaic.

The scene that sticks with me the most from West Wing:

Crazy! So it was what it obviously was and not what progressive Christians told us repeatedly it wasn’t?
Wild; it’s almost like there is a whole block of folks who seem terribly interested in willfully obfuscating the truth.

Taking what scripture clearly presents as "not the way it's supposed to be" and using it to discredit the clear testimony of what God says is his creation design /norm for marriage is illiterate and evil.
This is what Zach is doing here.

“Biblical marriage is between one man and one woman.”
No it’s not.
“Biblical marriage” is between one man, one woman, and that woman's slave. (Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar)

In the last year, I have read as much of the primary source material on critical race theory as I can.

Not meant to be a hot take: But I believe the pastors of a local church should know the names of their members.
I’m not saying “one pastor” knows all the names, but the pastors collectively know the names of each member.

In last decade, pastors had to address a “prosperity” gospel that conflated life in Gods kingdom with health, wealth, and success.
