The newly published NRSVue doesn’t just punt at 1 Cor. 6:9; it lies on the field and forfeits the game by removing one of Paul’s clear condemnations of homosexual acts. thegspl.co/3yggtpO

The striking down of Roe v. Wade is very good. It's not about men telling women what to do with their bodies. It's about valuing all human life. But to protect the most vulnerable humans, we don't just need one law overturned. We need a loving revolution.

Dear Wormwood,
If your patient can’t be kept out of the church, he ought at least to be violently attached to some party within it.
All extremes except extreme devotion to the Enemy are to be encouraged.
Your uncle,

I think one mistake many make about most Southern Baptists is that they are thinking about politics 24/7. We are politically conservative & typically vote this way. But most pastors & members are not obsessed with it, but are thinking of their communities and about mission.

For @TGC I review two new documentaries that seek answers to a question that is perplexingly unanswerable, at least in contemporary Western culture: “What is a woman?” thegospelcoalition.org/artic…

After I left World Magazine @johnpiper @davidcmathis asked me to write some reflections for @desiringGod to recap nearly 30 years reporting ... an exhausting but rewarding armchair trip back in time. desiringgod.org/articles/lig…

Tired of our polarization. So am I. But we have a huge hill to climb to get out of it. I hope that this article can be part of that process.

I wrote this for my daughters and for yours. I hope it’s helpful.
“Good men don’t control women. They equip them to spot the kind of man who will. That’s true manliness—God-given power…to equip his daughters to be strong and discerning.” thegospelcoalition.org/artic…

The men I trust most are not the ones always talking about courage and toughness.
They’re the ones who actually *are* courageous and tough without talking about it.
They dare not talk about it because they know their weakness—and thus God’s power.

2 interesting articles on church history at @TGC this week:
Today, @BrianJ_Arnold of @PhoenixSeminary highlights church fathers who were outspoken for the pro-life cause. If you think the church's voice on abortion is just related to Roe, think again. thegospelcoalition.org/artic…

Very important to fix your Twitter feed:
1. Tap home button.
2. Tap stars on upper right of screen.
3. Select “Latest tweets”.
You are being manipulated by the algorithm in ways you don’t realize.
Easy to switch back & forth to see the difference.

Grateful and a bit wistful at the end of #T4G22.
I leave encouraged by one thing most: so many pastors seeking to minister confidently in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Yes, concerned about the challenges of the world. But not mad, not fearful, not pugnacious. Confident & happy.

When we keep the gospel central, we can disagree on lesser but still important matters in good faith.
