The Gospel is our only hope. We have been called & commanded to take every thought captive & to refute those who contradict sound doctrine. And we have been called & commanded to do that because we love the gospel & we love the brethren. –

Both Karl Marx & Charles Spurgeon lived & worked in the same city at the same time. While Marx was preaching salvation through bloody revolution, Spurgeon, on the other side of the city, was preaching salvation through the blood of Christ.

What does it say about our culture when one of the most racist books I’ve ever read is considered by many to be the best book on racism?

The facts of Ed Litton’s plagiarism are not in dispute. Neither is the God-honoring course of action open to him.
As long as
@EdLitton
remains president of the SBC, Southern Baptist leaders are failing. It is past time to hold them accountable.

Dr. Tom Nettles weighs in on
@RickWarren
's recent open letter to the SBC.
"The very thing that defined Baptists from the 17th century–present is the rigor with which they set forth confessions to unite them with other Christians and distinguish them..."
Abortion has killed more people than any other systemic injustice in history. Abortion is the biggest human rights violation in history, and yet, the Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden have compared that injustice to the dangers of smoking cigarettes.
Why does our nation slaughter 800,000 babies in the womb each year and politicians call it a woman's “right”? Because there is no fear of God before their eyes.

Facebook has blocked this newest episode of The Sword and The Trowel from the normal Facebook promotions we run.
Truth is controversial. Truth is also censored.
Would you help us share this episode far and wide?
The Bible does not instruct us as to whether or not one should receive a vaccine, but it is clear when it comes to the doctrine of the liberty of conscience.
I have been asked this question numerous times over the last few months. Usually it is attached to another question like this, “Since Al Mohler shares your reformed theology, why aren’t you voting for him?” Here is my answer.

Cultural Marxism is not just an idea. It is a disruptive, transformative, agenda. It is an agenda that needs to be recognized & confronted. The result of this agenda is a real pain, real sin, & real brokenness that doesn’t get addressed. -

Here is an update from Tom and Donna Ascol:
In spite of the fact that it seems more and more fashionable in our day to say that women may be pastors, the Bible is clear that pastoral leadership is restricted to biblically qualified men.

I believe that the Bible is absolutely sufficient for all matters of faith and practice, and how we deal with one another across ethnicities is a matter of faith and practice. The Bible is sufficient for that.

There is a direct connection between ignorance of God and rampant societal lawlessness. We can no longer assume that the people in America understand even the basic truths about the true God. Those of us who do know Him, must teach them.

God writes the best stories. If you watch providence with your eyes open, you can’t help but laugh (& cry) at God’s great wisdom on display. Something like this occurred recently when a Christian pastor (
@TomBuck
) tweeted & the
@washingtonpost
responded.
This past weekend I attended the
@ERLC
Con—Caring Well: Equipping Churches to Confront the Abuse Crisis. I realized several key things were absent: a focus on the Gospel, a promotion of truth, & a reliance on Scripture to equip the church.

If silence is violence, if silence is compliance—Jesus is a sinner, and we have no hope of salvation—no hope for a king of kings who will return to execute perfect justice.

Theoretical inerrancy is killing the church in America. It is spreading like stage 4 cancer. Only God can stop it. If He does, it will be through the Spirit-empowered preaching and teaching of His Word.
The Young, Restless, and Reformed movement—or New Calvinism—was born as an alternative to the seeker-sensitive movement, but it’ll die as its own version of the seeker-sensitive movement.

We praise God for what He did over this past weekend - how He assembled us, watched over us, met with us and answered our prayers. We are grateful for every person who attended and the powerful time of worship, fellowship and Biblical teaching we experienced.

Baptism, the sign of the new covenant people of God, should only be applied to those who from the heart confess and love the God of orthodoxy.

I’m grateful Dr. Prior has declined any “additional affiliation” beyond her endorsement. But that’s not a withdrawal of an endorsement or removal of support for Revoice’s mission. And that of course, was the question I asked.

There is no such thing as a “gay Christian” or an “LGBTQIA+ Christian” or any other reality-denying-hyphenated Christian. You cannot deny the Creator and his creation and have his salvation at the same time.
What will it profit a man if he gains his cause and silences his adversary, if at the same time he loses that humble, tender frame of spirit in which the Lord delights, and to which the promise of his presence is made?
