Francis Schaeffer: 5 causes of the fall of Rome -
1. Love of show & luxury
2. Widening gap between rich & poor
3. Obsession with sex
4. Freakisness in the arts masquerading as originality
5. Increased desire to live off the state.
(How Shall We Then Live, (1976), p. 227)

My son is about to graduate with an AA business degree from community college w/ two new welding certs. He is making bridges in Steel City during the day; did college at night. About to get a big promotion.
🔥What a stud.
🧵Some key thoughts on the Covenanters' Political Theology:
1) Christ rules both the Church and the Nations:
2) He does so, out of His Mediatorial Kingship...
3) ...Granted to Him by the Father, at His Ascension.
So proud of my daughter Soriah who received her pinning today for nursing school! For RN students, this is the day they work towards for years of hard work. So blessed and proud as a father today!
IT IS HAPPENING! The YouTube Presby/Lutheran super-crossover discussion with
@DrJordanBCooper
is happening Wednesday, December 14th. Let me know what you want us to talk about!
This is not a serious account anymore. Unfollowed a while back due to unnecessary attacks like this designed for high irritation and maximal user reply rates. Sad.
The JESB or Jonathan Edwards Study Bible (NOT actually pictured) is in high-gear mode right now. We have added hundreds of thousands of words of notes straight from the pen of JE and are working on 100 scholarly essays as we speak. A little closer every day now!

✅️ Energy Independence 🚗
Keep going! Never give up! Hold fast! The story of my YouTube channel in one graphic. Eight years of practically zero growth, and then BOOM! Takeoff!
The moral of this story - perseverance.
It took me a while, but I finally finished my outline of the whole Bible, one two-page spread per book. Great way to see the scope of Redemption History writ large! Recommended!
This is a sad shark jump from
@redeemed_zoomer
. I unfollowed some time ago when he started attacking Machen. It is no longer serious discussion or helpful contribution but tropes and hot takes for replies. Farewell.
⚠️ Real Talk ⚠️
In general - and present company excluded - anonymous accounts are stupid. Put your name in your bio and your face in your profile. Be brave enough to stand on your own beliefs and own your opinions.
Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans:
I see you.
You are made in the image of God, and you're worthy of respect and dignity.
Pastor Matt’s critique of me was very respectful even if I disagree with him on some things. He’s right that I need to criticize brothers to the right less, and enemies to the left more
I am about ten days into writing "Worshiptainment: The Modern Church's Golden Calf" and I have 54 pages already. Topics covered so far:
✅Polemic against worshiptainment
✅The Regulative Principle
✅Expository Preaching
Still to go:
Music
Liturgy
Sacraments
Leadership
Rejoice with me, friends! My DREAM project is actually happening. The JESB is becoming a reality! Major thanks to
@philipnation
and
@ThomasNelson
for believing in my idea. I am thrilled beyond belief that this is real:
I realized I needed to read more female authors, so I decided to read this account of the lived experience of a feminist, lesbian, English Professor who repented of her sin, became a Reformed Presbyterian, and married a conservative pastor.

@budlight
was always an embarrassing choice, even more so now. Doubt any of my bros wanna drink "queer beer." Try this instead for something more unapologetically masculine:
They keep feeding me Baptists and CRECS and I keep defeating them with FULL-BAR Presbyterian power! Let's do this again

🧵Why Presbyterians Don't Celebrate Lent.
1. We celebrate the Lord's Day (resurrection day) as our primary holy day. We do not celebrate days of saints or other calendar inventions (St. Bartholemew, Circumcision Sunday etc.) This is our regular celebration of the Gospel.
In a major virtue-signaling pivot, today's Republicans are turning to 1990s Clinton era Pro-Choice talking points. This is a sad turn of events for those looking for leaders with conviction.
🔥 HOT TAKE WARNING 🔥
The Reformed should read more of the spiritual writers:
> AW Tozer
> Soren Kierkegaard
> Brother Lawrence
> Thomas a Kempis
> Julian of Norwich
> John of the Cross
🚫NOT for doctrine, ✅but for spirituality.
🚫NOT for the light, ✅but the heat.
Keith and I have this in common:
We both love Jesus and the local church, our ministries are largely teaching-based; and neither of us are trying to get over by takedowns and shock-jock attacks on other big names. You are a stud
