Pastors who say, “We don’t do politics” are actually discipling their people into a political philosophy—just one of surrender and silence.

Ya know, @jchasedavis has me wanting to see evangelicals start building cathedrals.

A few signs of a maturing, stable leader:. 1. They are eager to regularly encourage and praise others, particularly those they are directly over. 2. They receive criticism well and in a way where even if it's not delivered well, they can recognize the truth in it and course.

Good afternoon to everyone except this driver

Why is the Bible any less reliable as an objective standard than a collection of magisterial documents/decrees? Particularly since only one is stated to be God breathed….

5 Reasons I don't hold to the "Assumption of Mary". (1) No Biblical Witness.The NT never records Mary’s death, burial, or bodily assumption. If such an event occurred, it would have been among the most extraordinary in redemptive history—yet Scripture is silent. (Contrast this.

Pastors, if you don’t get good at clear and direct biblical counseling you’re going to eventually be buried under people who love their sin more than the changes they are asking you advice on.

5 doctrines that—if they were meant to be dogmatic—you’d expect to find AT LEAST one example in the New Testament:. 1. Praying to deceased believers (saints) .2. The Immaculate Conception of Mary.3. The Assumption of Mary.4. Veneration of relics.5. The papal office as the.
