Testing it out
Reminder that Thanksgiving is the most Presbyterian holiday of them all!

PCA BCO 62-3: “…If at any time the civil power should appoint a fast or thanksgiving, in keeping with the Christian faith, it is the duty of the ministers and people of our communion to pay all due respect to it.”

Israel and Hamas peace accord is good news, right? No one on here seems to be talking about it. Weird.

Gideon in his later life, lived exactly as male influencers like the Tate brothers advise bedding many women having 70 sons (Judges 8:30-31).

It destroyed his family, killing his 70 sons, and ruined Israel for generations. (Judges 9:5-6). His legacy is a warning. ⛔️

Francis Grimke critiquing some preachers of his day: "They have preached on almost everything except Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God whose blood alone cleanses from sin. The thought of sin, from which we need to be saved, has largely dropped out of most of our preaching." (P.199)

Jer 13:16-17 - “Give glory to the LORD your God before he brings darkness, before your feet stumble on the twilight mountains, and while you look for light he turns it into gloom and makes it deep darkness. But if you will not listen, my soul will weep in secret for your pride.”

“We speak to people very seldom about their soul’s salvation; and, when we do, as a general thing, it is done in such a perfunctory way, that it shows that we have no real sense of the seriousness of the task to which we have set ourselves.” - Francis Grimke.

2 Timothy 2:25 - “correcting his opponents with gentleness.”

Some need to learn more gentleness.

Some need to learn to start correcting.

“No man's ministry is a failure, however meager the results, if he has been faithfully and earnestly preaching the gospel of the grace of God, holding up to dying, sinful men God's message of redeeming love. Such a ministry is not, could not be, a failure.” -Francis Grimke

Surveying the bubble / echo chamber of social media using USAID:

X/Twitter: USAID is a CIA front group that has funded terrorists groups and election interference.

Bluesky: USAID is money going mostly to Christian charities to feed starving kids.

Good change here in an update to the ESV translation from the 2016 edition. Most other updates are minor.

“The whole creation groans,
And wait to hear that voice
That shall restore her comeliness,
And make her wastes rejoice
Come, Lord, and wipe away,
The curse, the sin, the stain
And make this blighted world of ours,
Thine own fair world again!”
