  1. Spurgeon—particular Baptist, London—points out that certain businesses cannot function if employees tell the truth. Firing offence. He adds that professing Christians are keeping the whole operation running, lacking courage to say we want nothing to do with this. Pastoral warnings about workplace complicity are somewhat rarer than warnings about other sins. The stamp, apparently, must run.

  2. This is an excerpt from a memoir I'm kinda sorta writing. It's about the time a giant cross nearly killed me. Trust me, it's funnier than that sounds.

  5. Charles Spurgeon, London Baptist preacher, urged real aid for a town hurt by its refusal to handle slave-grown cotton. Fine sermons and fiery words won’t feed the hungry or bind wounds—“words without deeds are chaff,” he cried. Citing Luke 4, Matthew 25, and the Good Samaritan, he pressed believers to act.

    How will you give more than words?

    "Church denominations that hire 'Youth Pastors' essentially offer pedophiles a place to find victims. This is not new. What is surprising is these churches haven't recognized the risk the position creates and have no apparent strategy to limit the risk."

  7. I believe in #God, and his Son #Jesus #christ . #JesusChrist is the key to God.
    It's not enough to just simply know God, you have to also know Jesus, and Jesus would have to know you.
    Without Jesus, how else would one get to God, or to heaven without the path present to you by Jesus? The fact that Jesus died for our #sins on the #cross is why many of us are here today. (I would say all of us, but as we know #Satan is still here with us despite being a huge sinner, being one of the longest lasting sinners, going back even before Jesus was born)

    and if any one does only believe in just God, that's fine with me actually, but fyi, my #Baptist #denomination, involves Jesus. (so do many others, notably not all do.)

  8. This week, at the Democratic National Convention, the speeches of #Michelle #Obama and the Second Gentleman #Doug #Emhoff (and maybe #Lil #Jon’s, if you want to call that a speech) stood out.

    But there was one speech, in particular, that struck me: 🔥The sermon-like words of Sen. #Raphael #Warnock (D-Ga.).

    Warnock has served as senior pastor at Atlanta’s historic #Ebenezer #Baptist #Church for nearly 20 years.
    His election on January 5, 2021 was one of two pivotal, and highly covered, Senate races in Georgia.

    That made him a national figure, of sorts. But not exactly a household name. If you don’t know Warnock well, it’s worth remembering he is a pastor who invokes his Christianity as a foundation of his politics.

    ⭐️He clearly brings that power to the secular pulpit in his speech on the first night of the DNC, telling of the need to heal a nation that has long been broken.

    #Michelle #Obama might have done a bit of call-and-response.

    But it is hard to imagine anyone else pulling off calling Donald Trump a “#plague,” as Warnock does, with such heft.
