The No-Name filthy huckster some here defend said Vice President J.D. Vance “is literally a fat, gay, race traitor that married a Jееt… JD Vance’s kids are brown. His kids. His wife is brown. She’s a Jeet.”
You men who defend this guy should be under church discipline.

Jesus came to “save His people from their sins.”
Not “His people from the Romans’ sins.”
Not “His people from Samaritans’ sins.”
Not “His people from sinners’ sins.”
Not “His people from illegal immigrants’ sins.”
Not “His people from Democrats’ sins.”
Dear men, stop spewing your hatred of “others” and look deep in your own heart. You are the one who needs saving, and it’s your own sin you need to be saved from. By Jesus.

X censored my post above quoting No-Name. I appealed saying I was warning against him, and they said I was promoting hate speech. X’s robots are so robotic.
They don’t mention she was PR Director for Planned Parenthood’s abortuary here in Bloomington. We knew each other from my/our protests there. She took out a restraining order against me, and lied to get it.
She had much blood of our Lord’s “little ones” staining her hands. Very sad to say, she was an enemy of God.

Skim it, but then read last couple paragraphs. Bitter angry young men claiming victimhood and enamored of guys like those pictured below are deep in their sin. What they need is simple.
Their sins admonished and rebuked by their church fathers. (HT Martin) https://www.digitalliturgies.net/p/the-rights-purity-culture-moment?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1wx9ls&triedRedirect=true

@tbbayly, I’ve searched the Baylyblog archives for an article you wrote maybe 15 years ago. It was about pastoral ministry being like flying a helicopter. Can’t find it. Any chance you have it easily accessible?
(I searched: helicopter, Vietnam, pilot. Something else I should try?)
Sorry, brother; can’t find it myself, even on my laptop.

Found it. It was on the old Baylyblog (didn’t realise the search function on the old blog was still active).

May God be merciful to us and these souls who have married their own sex by moving the hearts of SCOTUS to reverse Obergefell. What a wickedly dishonest ruling and how righteous it would be for present court to say so. Pray for it. Ask your pastor to pray for it, explicitly, in his pastoral prayer this Sunday

Prior to his own marriage to Katy, Martin Luther preached 3 sermons on marriage. Here are first words of first sermon:
"In the first part we shall consider which persons may enter into marriage with one another. In order to proceed aright let us direct our attention to Genesis 1:27, ‘So God created man… male and female he created them.’
"From this passage we may be assured that God divided mankind into two classes, namely, male and female, or a he and a she. This was so pleasing to Him that He Himself called it a “good” creation.
“Therefore, each one of us must have the kind of body God has created for us. I cannot make myself a woman, nor can you make yourself a man; we do not have that power. But we are exactly as He created us: I a man and you a woman.” (HT Andrew D.)

Neither angry, splenetic, nor bitter, but calm as the water in your toilet bowl, I write…
All the accolades Nancy Pelosi is receiving upon her retirement studiously avoid her bloodlust for the little babies. Being a Democrat, it is this bloodlust which defined her promotion of “women’s rights.”
Reading the accolades thrown her way, do we tremble? Do we fear God? Have we any love for this woman drowning in bloodguilt?
I went through this series searching for the word “pastor,” but didn’t find it. Now I’ll go back and see what you’re referring to. I’ve long said these three posts could easily be published in “The New Yorker.” Love,
You are right. It wasn’t your article, and it wasn’t specifically about pastoral ministry.
When I first read it, I came across it on your blog - which is pretty focused on pastoral ministry. But the helicopter school story seemed such an appropriate parable of learning to shepherd Christ’s sheep.
Connecting the dots in my mind some 13 years later (I saw this sometime 2012-2013) and omitting a few details.

For sale locally on FB Marketplace by church explaining “Cleaning out a church; not our style.” Any reformed baptist church with elders and no pastor want to admit something without saying it? Smiling.

And a centurion’s slave, who was highly regarded by him, was sick and about to die. When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders asking Him to come and save the life of his slave. When they came to Jesus, they earnestly implored Him, saying, “He is worthy for You to grant this to him; for he loves our nation and it was he who built us our synagogue.” -Luke 7:2-5
“He loves our nation.”
Throughout His ministry, Jesus publicly condemns and suffers under the sins of the Jews. Yet He loves the Jews.
We are to condemn their sins and love them as our Lord did.
