Healthy churches have some balance in their growth between the raising of covenant children and the preaching of the Gospel to unbelievers. Pursue that balance. #goodshepherd

The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high;
“Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!”
They ever cry:
Hail, Abraham’s God, and mine!
I join the heav’nly lays;
All might and majesty are Thine,
And endless praise.

We sang that this morning after an extended look at Romans 4. Such a good hymn.
Albeit…’so undignified!’

It is true that God could have created Adam first, but he kept this for the end. And why?
Because before he was created, he wished to provide him with what was required and necessary.
Even a father will not wait until his child comes into the world, but when the time draws near for his wife to give birth, he will provide what is necessary for the child. When a father has the means, he will buy swaddling clothes and all the rest.
In a similar way, then, God did not wait until man was created to provide for his nourishment and clothing, but beforehand he filled the earth with good and rich things.
-John Calvin, sermons on Genesis. #GodourFather

Out of Our Minds 3rd podcast on preaching. Episode defends preaching against those who say everyone must preach this or that way (meaning their way). There are many ways to preach and do it well. Out of Our Minds | How to preach, Part 3

CT’s Rusty Moore w/ help of Julie Roys abt to co-author investigative piece on Border Patrol. Say BP has “long history” of sending women back to violent males. Documents prove Pres. Biden knew it & did nothing. Female border patrol agent violently assaulted by illegal immigrant
Women should never be placed in positions of vulnerability to male violence. That progressives demand female cops/prison guards/Marines proves their insane commitment to ideology. That Christian daughters sign up for it proves our betrayal of fatherhood. Female border patrol agent violently assaulted by illegal immigrant
