1/Anyone know where all of the SBC resolutions on gambling have gone? There were tons of others dealing with alcohol, pornography.All targeting laws. They are all gone. Even Wayback machine and Google cache don't show the gambling variety. #TGC #SBC #johnmacarthur #9Marks
2/These span centuries and provide a clear view of duplicity in the many who say, "just preach the gospel" when the support and advocacy of righteous law has been central to many of these resolutions. webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache…
3/This index from a 2020 capture shows that there were 12 resolutions on the matter of gambling at that point. @DavidAFrench @nathanafinn @EWErickson @KevinMKruse @ThabitiAnyabwil @VoddieBaucham @johnmacarthur @albertmohler @JohnPiper @9Marks @LigonDuncan web.archive.org/web/2020092803…
5/SBC resolution on Racism and the curse of Ham from 2018. "Preach only the Gospel" was not really a faithful mantra for nearly all of the history of the Church in America. web.archive.org/web/2021122817…
26/ pornography con't web.archive.org/web/2021081217…

2/This was brought to mind just now. It would be immensely instructive & helpful to juxtapose the statements, overtures & resolutions on race from 1940 through 2019,on race from the PCA, SBC,Reformed Churches against what is posited as going woke by the same.@DavidAFrench #Jesus
3/It would seem that the polemic that the former have employed therein is representative of what nearly every campaign of significance & substance has set before the Church over centuries. They all point to systemic & structural as well as individual sin in racial partiality.

1/When those you endear and highly esteemed over centuries held to the just and Christ-likeness of holding kidnapped Africans as property and their bearing of a lesser image as well as inferiority plus incompatibility for marriage, the conscience is damaged. @johnmacarthur @TGC ImageImageImageImage
2/Cauterizing the Conscience - It is those "heroes" of the Church and America who are the progenitors of partiality along racial lines.The unrepentant embrace of such as like Jesus,damages the Conscience in whole.@johnmacarthur @timkellernyc @DavidAFrench gty.org/library/sermon… Image
3/As the testimony & instruction of that cloud of witnesses serves, in great part, as what informs the consciences of the their progeny & those after, such discipleship in error is passed forward, just as is discipleship in righteousness. Those seared consciences inform the next. Image

1/Here @johnmacarthur further outlines what Christians must do in their participation in government in the culture to promote laws and government that is pro honesty, pro justice, @VoddieBaucham @TomBuck @ostrachan @ThabitiAnyabwil @JemarTisby @drtonyevans @MarkDever @pastoremase
3/So as Christians /the Church, pastors would not prostitute themselves out as a sort of political campaigner, but all Christians should preach the Gospel and vote/advocate righteousness in the courts, on the ballot, in the culture,

1/@elonmusk @Twitter @TheJusticeDept @Vanguard_Group @MorganStanley @BlackRock @StateStreet @AristotleCap before any changes occur might I suggest a retrospective analysis of free speech along with a parallel Twitter for 3-6 months. This would be readmission of banned.
2/@elonmusk in fact why no run a simulation by passing tweets over the past 10 years(deleted or not)through the future state algorithms. Provide 2 Twitters (one of what is disallowed; another what is allowed).Run in parallel for 6 months before switching to new & allowing return.

1/Traditional marriage advocacy.
Pro-life advocacy. Criminal Justice reform advocacy.
Substance abuse activism.
Anti-gambling activism.
All are significant missional objectives of the major denominations & have been for decades. Racial injustice was held as just by each.
2/I’d add that the thief was instructed to cease stealing and become a giver. The Church as a missional institution was for centuries the thief of racial justice & affirmed such as just. Now it must take part as the giver of said justice. Ephesians 4:28 ►. Image
3/Gets a bit more difficult given the penalty of death associated with manstealing.However with dignity stealing (segregation.African inferiority through regard as bearers of a lesser image),not so difficult.Then the liberty/equity theft in limiting citizenship, commerce,property

5/We are just days away from the anniversary of when @GovRonDeSantis acknowledged that the face coverings head enacted under his orders & his appointees, were no longer needed as Florida was no longer in its 14month state of emergency. @DavidAFrench @Heritage @GregAbbott_TX @TGC ImageImageImageImage
