The administrator for Jude 3, @ThomasERickard, has written this helpful analysis of the #PCAGA procedure for Objections. Just because you don't like a decision from the SJC doesn't mean you get to invent a procedure to record your grievance.

The PCA does not need a “halfway house” between biblical church government and egalitarianism.

RE @hmatthewlee challenges the claim made during #PCAGA 53 that reduced fees had not significantly increased ruling-elder participation. The four Assemblies held under reduced RE fees recorded the largest numbers of RE commissioners in PCA history.

The @a4mrofficial has advocated for a novel view of confessionalism. @ThomasERickard offers clarity on how subscription in good faith works to promote purity, peace, unity, and prosperity in the #PCAGA.

These are the convictions that birthed the PCA. They still matter: The Reaffirmations of 1973—a stirring call for a church loyal to Scripture, the Reformed faith, Presbyterian order, and the Great Commission.

Jude 3 has a new website and will be regularly publishing original content related to the PCA.
Here’s an article against Phoebe being a deaconess from Dr. David Barry.

Confidence is no substitute for exegesis. A merely possible reading of Rom 16:1 cannot bear the weight of overturning the church’s historic doctrine of male-only ordination. @GPTSeminary Professor David Barry dismantles the grammatical sleight of hand.

Presbyterians in the 1800s really thought Sabbath practice was necessary for a healthy church & nation.
If correct (and I think they were), then the PCA will not thrive until it embraces and practices its Sabbath doctrine in the Westminster Confession.
We celebrate the great work @pcamna has done in church planting, disaster relief, prison ministry, and ministry to state and are grateful to RE Dowling for bringing renewed focus to MNA on the mandates of #pcaga and away from divisive distractions.
This week’s episode features @matt_everhard and RE David Saulsbury providing analysis of the @pcamna coordinator’s report and how RE Steve Dowling is bringing accountability and transparency to MNA.

If #PCAGA congregations, agencies, and committees would stop platforming men who disagree with our Standards, we would have a lot more trust and peace in the PCA.
A panel of @nsxanders @WojoKen @zoeschimke & @charlesrhigham offers analysis of @SamAllberry's defective theology and lifestyle. #PCAGA institutions need to stop platforming men wiht false teaching that contradicts the Westminster Standards.
