“What looks from the outside like the charismatic movement holding itself accountable is, on examination, the movement identifying figures who have become liabilities and executing them publicly before their scandals contaminate the broader institution. The theology survives every time.”
“And once that happens, the moral descent is not dramatic at first. It’s weirdly normal. And that’s the creepy part. Everybody keeps mowing their lawns and posting vacation photos while the foundations liquefy beneath their feet.”
“Why, then, do the children of God suffer so greatly in this world? We suffer for the glory of His name. The more impossible the situation, the more clearly God’s grace and power can be seen in us. Although the examples I cited above relate to persecution, this truth applies to every instance of Christian suffering.”
“The giant takeaway is that “we the people” are now being routinely deceived on vital matters by an ideological and corrupt press. And many of us don’t even care.”
“The establishment media will dismiss all of this as election denialism, but the fact is that the 2020 election was never properly investigated. Instead, we were told to trust the results of the “most secure election in history,” and if you dared to question the results, you were mocked, censored, or demonetized.”
“The most recent nihilist developments in American society can be attributed to these Jacobin* “Democrats”: biological men competing in women’s sports; critical legal theory that normalizes cashless bail; race-based reparations; violent felons arrested and back on the street hours later; radical abortion on demand until birth; attacks on the concept of the cultural “melting pot”; and opposition to organized Christianity.”

“So the question is not whether you have idols. You have many. The question is which one you would sell the others to keep.”
“You’ve got Gavin Ortlund stepping up to explain, with that gentle and lowly familiar Ortlund tone, that inerrancy isn’t really a first-rank doctrine. Let’s slow down. Let’s be careful. Let’s not throw around labels. Let’s make room for “legitimate Christians” who think the Bible has errors. He even reaches back to Machen, of all people, as if to baptize the whole move in fundamentalist credibility.”
“A letter sent by the Archbishop of New York, Ronald Hicks, notes that the matter has been a painful process, but they hope that all parties accept. If so, they would each received around $215,000.”
“Whitlock has received much hate from other Conservatives for this, but Isaiah 3:12 calls female rulers a curse from God. Paul makes ontological arguments against female ordination in the Church, which rooting his reasoning in Creation, naturally extends the application beyond the Church setting since ontology is not limited to the Church.”

“A statement from Immanuel Church about Sam Allberry reveals they knew he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with another man in 2022 but didn’t believe it rose to the level of being disqualifying, and still decided to bring him on as pastor.
