Tomorrow is Inauguration Day. I pray that it is peaceful and that it is not a continuation of what occurred on January 6th. I won't argue the merits of it. I can't imagine for a moment what the possible outcome could have been for even going to the Capitol. 1/
I watched as pastors were maligned, even condemned if they did not vote Trump. To attach one's own salvation to a vote. Shame on you and your damnable lies for adding to the stress and propping up a bullying culture because someone else thought and voted differently than you.2/
We will not forget still others who told Christians that they were not Christians if they voted "Democratic". It wasn't just John MacArthur, I assure you, but as he continued his campaign for Trump on every conservative outlet that would have him he emboldened other pastors
to neglect and even supplant "teaching of the Word" for political rhetoric. You were there, you saw. Republicans want us to move forward and "heal". Sweep it under the rug and "move on". Only wait, there's still this "COVID thing" (Dec. 20th-John MacArthur called it) we 4/
have to continue to ignore. "There's no pandemic". Perhaps you didn't hear John MacArthur continue that same mantra "What pandemic?" as he stood there, 30 pounds lighter, and looking quite ill still. As others have said, "it's not the MacArthur I recognize", or maybe you 5/
are the one that is changing. I know I feel forever changed through this year and beyond. So, to all the TheoBros and Self-Righteous Hos (profiting off the Gospel), was it worth it? You know the lies that you told in the service of a madman. Which one, take your pick? 6/
There's a lot going around. To the Fallkirk Center, Eric Metaxas, the Paula Whites and other false prophets, to Sean Feucht and the mop that sits on his head, @ThomasMoreSoc, Tom Buck, G3, Josh Buice, Jenna Ellis, and a whole lot more not mentioned, you've made 2020 memorable 7/
Always end things with a song:
Jenna Ellis-
Hey woman, you got the blues
Yes you ain't got no one else to use
There's an open road that leads nowhere
So just make some miles between here and there
NEXT: Defamation Lawsuit Against Pulpit and Pen pending at Stanley Most, MDZ holds Press Conference at the Van Nuys Home Depot and Tamale stand. Between the shuttered Apple Store and LA Fitness.
Protestia, formerly Pulpit & Pen (P&P), is a Calvinist blog operated under the auspices of the Fellowship Baptist Church of Sidney, Montana.[1] The blog has changed names and formats repeatedly, claiming censorship by Facebook and other social media platforms.
JD Hall, who serves as the church's pastor, is the publisher and main writer of articles, while "lead correspondent" Seth Dunn writes the majority of the rest, along with the "News Division".[2]
“Although houses of worship can meet indoors, staff and attendees must follow measures to protect themselves and the public. Under the county’s public health order, staff and visitors must wear face coverings at all times and maintain a distance of at least six feet from anyone
outside their households. Houses of worship must conduct screenings before visitors enter and disinfect worship spaces between services”.
Unless there is enforcement, Grace will continue as they ever will. This will be another toothless Health Order that will go largely ignored

This Thanksgiving, we have a lot to be grateful for here at The Master’s University. Through this unprecedented semester, God has sustained our institution and provided for it in remarkable ways. In the spring, He provided financially
after we closed our campus and pivoted to remote learning for the rest of the semester. This cost the school nearly two million dollars. In God’s providence, gracious ministry partners came alongside our school to lessen the impact of the stay-at-home orders on our institution.
Because of their generosity, The Master’s University has not had to lay-off a single employee through the ongoing pandemic.
In August, TMU welcomed the second largest Freshmen class in school history. While many institutions of higher learning were struggling with
I don't understand what people fuss about
Seems like they're all angry all the time
Mindin' everybody's business like it was their own
I can barely find the time for mine
I believe in love and leavin' well enough alone
You won't catch me castin' that first stone
You may not share my point of view
Or see the world the way I do
I hope that doesn't matter much to you
I don't have to be self righteous even if I'm right
Please excuse me if you think
that's wrong
I've been told that I'm a sinner nearly all my life
But so is everyone I've ever known
I believe in leavin' judgment for somebody else
Someone more deserving than myself
You may not share my point of view
Or see the world the way I do
I hope that doesn't matter much
