TN pastor Greg Locke has planned a “massive burning” at his church, calling on members to bring occult-related materials to be burned
Mark Tooley of @TheIRD responded: “Locke is a sensationalist whose ministry seems to depend on provocation & controversy”

“The Bible makes it clear that God despises acts of outward piety or sentimentality that are not matched with action on behalf of justice...
Therefore we must never settle for a false dichotomy between prayer and action.”

Two renderings of Romans 8:28:
~ “All things work together for good to those who love God.”
~“In everything God works for good with those who love God.”
The second is right:
“All things” don’t work to our good; God works with us for God’s ultimate good, which is our good, too.

My husband has three rules of engagement when we go to church.
1. An alone person in our gathering is an emergency
2. Friends can wait
3. Introduce a newcomer to someone else
Let’s all be missionaries at church today!

We do not find Paul concerning himself with the size of churches or with questions about their growth. His primary concern is with their faithfulness, with the integrity of their witness.

The migrant caravan affords each Christian the opportunity ( in speech, relief efforts, everyday conversation) to not only honor the dignity ofall people in Christ, but to renounce nationalism as a heresy against Christ.

Psalm 61:2 "Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I; for You are my refuge.." Personal autonomy, the ultimate value of our times, psychologically and ethically, is disregarded in favour of something much higher—the objective reality, unassailable solidity and comfort of God
