Wow, what a mix!  Lots of material at the start on true biblical justice, avoiding mobs, how intersectionality eats its own (Martina Navratilova), and the use of the “crisis” to get things done now, even if what you are really doing is just pushing forward your ultimate agenda. Then we took calls on various topics, and then at the end of

Spent most of our time today examining Dr. Russell Moore’s statement on the Houston Chronicle article, and specifically what he identified as “wrongheaded” and “dangerous” ideas.

Needed to do the program remotely today from my home (and aside from one slip up, it actually worked quite well!).  Discussed the amazing (and disgusting) tweets put out by a woman saying “goodbye” to the aborted baby she murdered as if this was an act of love on her part—tough way to start the program, I know.  But when

Caught up on a number of articles I had saved before I leave tomorrow for St. Charles and other locations (see the banner ads for details).  Right before the program started Dr. Michael Brown published an article about Twitter’s banning (ready for this?) “deadnaming.”  Yeah.  Deadnaming.  That’s like when you call Bruce Jenner…Bruce Jenner instead of “Caitlyn.”  So, in other

Looked at Jared C. Wilson’s comments about Galatians 2 and the subject of race, as well as Duke Kwon’s citation of the same text, by looking carefully at Galatians 2 itself in its context.
