@RevKevDeYoung Great points as usual. What we find once again is deference to an area that the Church has experienced its greatest split in America & spirit that had cost actual lives here. I say that as there is no shortage of isms charged in the areas conservatives press against. 1/
@RevKevDeYoung As we assess the again nuance in accounting for nationalism, it is important to ensure no dishonest weight or uneven measure is employed. So caution of “ism” must be employed evenly. Any allowance ought to be driven by how the witness has been harmed & relate to that. 2/
@RevKevDeYoung You see 30+ resolutions have established a faithful record of error in particular in partiality along racial lines in the Church. An area that is a part of that Nationalism. Effectively at its core. 3/
@RevKevDeYoung Yes apply wisdom in this “ism” & be certain to address the “isms” raised up to evade accountability & rightful dealing of white nationalism. Woke, socialist, Marx, communism. These have often been shouted even when neighbor love ism & imago Dei ism were the focus. Martyn Lloyd

1/As each trimester begins, abortion support has plummeted. By the 2nd trimester, there is significantly lower support regardless of party. This conservative legacy of Roe has fallen out of favor. That of no fault divorce has not. forbes.com/sites/alisondu… @TGC @9Marks @Heritage ImageImageImageImage
2/ Reagan & Nixon’s success in getting Abortion established as precedent and protected under the Constitution will likely over 49 years may meet the end of prohibition and the gambling legislation. This and gambling started & ended by Conservatives @ostrachan @TGC @9Marks @CPAC
3/ Jerry Falwell Sr came around to admitting that evangelicals were late to opposed elective abortions (Catholics were well ahead). At the outset Criswell & other churches approved of abortion & affirmed Roe. @ostrachan @TGC @9Marks @Heritage @NRO

@NotSureXP @TomBuck @AndyTgd @_Rondo5 @talexander2001 @ErinMHarding @doctorlou1978 @pastordmack @SBCvoices Not really so meaningful. In a nation that was ruled overwhelmingly by Christians to use scripture to affirm such evil over centuries makes the blight much greater. Here it is we condemn a nation for 60 years of abortion. We war over taxation without representation.
@NotSureXP @TomBuck @AndyTgd @_Rondo5 @talexander2001 @ErinMHarding @doctorlou1978 @pastordmack @SBCvoices The point in it all is that the blight was so great that nearly 1 million were lost in a battle to end enslavement & the book used to justify it in the 1st place was the Word of God. That is heresy. That is no small offense. We name names. I began with that.
@NotSureXP @TomBuck @AndyTgd @_Rondo5 @talexander2001 @ErinMHarding @doctorlou1978 @pastordmack @SBCvoices Those names Spurgeon, McLeod, Benjamin Lay rebuked harshly the masses and were cast away by the masses. Realize that for most of American memory these bad actors have enjoyed lionization. Only in the past 20 years have church fathers been called to task and not just praised.

@SBCvoices there are 2 biblical frameworks repeated throughout scripture on how systemic & structural areas of sin propagate within community. Searing of a Conscience & Discipleship in error.Taken together error presented as orthodoxy in the church yields generational besetments.
2/The first of these, Searing of the conscience manifests as a culture is taught that Jesus is pleased with a principle or ethic when in fact He opposes it. This error thus affirmed in community.
3/2nd of these, the expansion of this ethic generationally through the healthy & godly virtue of honor of parent & respect of headship. In holding up the error as compatible with piety, youth & society build systems upon it. Thus shade is created as @johnmacarthur outlines

@TomBuck Amen. This is exactly the point of ensuring that our history curricula includes both the brightest and darkest, even unrepentant moments in the lives of founders & church fathers. They demonstrate the Lord’s faithfulness in spite of man’s faithless acts. The model of error warns.
@TomBuck By pressing to silence the telling of the evil of SBC & Presbyterian fathers in teaching African inferiority & ownership of kidnapped Africans as Christlike diminishes the testimony of those who were freed in spite of the evil over centuries. Excellent point in your sermon. @GOP
@TomBuck @GOP Regardless of such false teaching affirmed by the #Sbc & American founders(many Protestants), the Gospel prevailed through centuries of erroneous doctrine & disregard of what Spurgeon & McCleod were clear on & Dabney, Edwards , Boyce held as faithful unrepentantly. @CPAC

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.
