Every now and again, I'm called a "liberal" on this website. Usually it’s for things like accepting an old earth, holding to a local flood, being too ecumenical, or not fitting neatly into political categories. For newcomers or curious onlookers, a short thread. 🧵

“One little word shall fell him.” Happy to remember that Christ’s final triumph over Satan will not be a protracted struggle. Evil will be crushed in an instant.

What's coming up at Truth Unites: 1) Yesterday we recorded an in-person chat with Francis Chan on the Lord's Supper and Protestantism -- so excited to share it with you all! Look for it next weekish. 2) I have worked hard on an argument for the truth of Christianity based on

I love how in Philippians 4:6, prayer is the antidote to anxiety: "do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Being perplexed is a fresh opportunity to ask God to do what only He can.

Is the papacy a divine institution? New video up today reviewing the New Testament and early historical data.

Being slandered is not the end of our ministry. It is part of our ministry.

A great prayer: “Jesus, I cannot bear _____; please bear it for me.” Jesus not only takes our sins, he can carry our burdens.

An excellent convo between Gavin and Mindshift. I think atheists can achieve meaning IN life, even of the objective sort. BUT only a relationship with a God of perfect love makes the ultimate degree of meaning OF life possible.

The internet multiplies slander. It will happen to all of us. When it does, I found going back to passages like this one incredibly grounding: "Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to

Check out this discussion with @Sean_McDowell to see the work he is up to:

Mike Winger (@MikeWingerii) is doing important work uncovering abuse in the church. He is a person of integrity and I am thankful he is helping churches become safer, healthier, and more accountable.

About "vibe shift" stuff. Something is definitely happening. Traditionalism, conservatism, and high churchism are *cool* in ways they were not 10 or even 5 years ago. 2025 is a fascinating time to be alive. There are both bright opportunities and major worries. One the one hand,

Here are my favorite 10 quotes from Rutherford:

Some helpful perspective from Samuel Rutherford: “When we shall come home and enter to the possession of our Brother’s fair kingdom, and when our heads shall find the weight of the eternal crown of glory, and when we shall look back to pains and sufferings; then shall we see

It's another great day to tune out distractions, fill your heart with the love of Christ and the hope of heaven, and then look to serve others and meet needs around you.
