One comment I'm seeing a lot from my most frequent critics is some variation of "why doesn't she stay offline and focus on her cancer?"

I just want to say, why? I'm doing my treatment and handing it over to the Lord daily. So my God and my doctors are on it. I don't need to be focused on worrying about it. In fact, it's a sin if I do.

So, sorry to disappoint you, but as long as I'm feeling up to it, I'm going to continue doing work I enjoy and that I believe is important.

Thanks for your (faux) concern.
Apparently a lot of people aren't aware of this? Yes, when your own ministry colleagues, who you frequently praise, publish heretical articles, you should address. Especially if commenting on such things is your job. Sorry, but it does look bad to be silent on this particular apologetics controversy.
Otherwise, you know, it kind of looks like cozy co-back scratching.
Melania does have extremely good taste.
"In a time of doctrinal drift and theological compromise, MacArthur remained a steadfast voice for biblical orthodoxy. Whether confronting the prosperity gospel, warning against pragmatic church growth models, or defending the sufficiency of Scripture, he did so with precision and boldness."

Amen. Good read. h/t #Phil_Johnson_

"His ministry has reminded the church that truth is not determined by culture or consensus but by the inerrant, all-sufficient Word of God. And for generations to come, that legacy will bear fruit in the pulpits of pastors he has trained, in the pages of books he has written, and in the lives of countless saints he has helped anchor in the truth."
This is the kind of madness following the climate change cult will lead to. These are the scientists whose “consensus” some Christian leaders say we should defer.

Truly the wisdom of the world is foolish.

I very much hope this includes the ousted Coast Guard cadets, who were expelled when they wouldn’t get the vaccine. I wrote about them here:

When you see Christianity Today contributors becoming activists on behalf of an MS-13 gang member, charged wife beater, and alleged human trafficker who entered the country illegally, some good background to have from my colleague #cabot_phillips.
Man I don’t know what accidental level of this app I unlocked but not loving the young antisemites in my mentions the last day. Go home little boys, find something in the realm of reality to focus on.
A little concerning that a new rash of them showed up yesterday along with these apologetics accounts. What exactly do these Youtubers discuss??
Srsly how do you swat them and get them to go away?

Ben poses tough but fair questions to Zelensky. You aren't going to want to miss this.
Okay yeah seems pretty clear this kid and I were never meant to see eye to eye 😂
So I'm working on a book on what created the female unhappiness crisis and seeing all the discussion out there now makes me anxious. A feeling of--"Oh no, everyone's talking about it now and my book doesn't come out for over a year!"

But then I remember--I had that same feeling with Shepherds for Sale. That I was arriving to the party late. But it turned out to be God's perfect timing. Have to trust in that.
Also blocked this morning—Trump’s order withholding funding from sanctuary cities defying federal law. This judicial tyranny must end. If there is a constitutional crisis, it is being forced on us by the courts who refused to respect the will of the American people.

Dude, no one accused Gavin Ortlund of being a false teacher. That is actually slander. You’re just throwing out wildly general, childish accusations. I had a very specific critique of Ortlund regarding his handling of A political topic—climate change.

Though I could critique his stance on Christians needing to get COVID vaccines to love their neighbors, his related argument that churches like John MacArthur’s were wrong to defy the government and stay open during COVID, and other issues where he defers to the state and “consensus.”

I understand you’re a fan, but this is not calling him a false teacher, it’s critiquing a presentation.

And no, I’m not an apologist, so I don’t focus on things like nestorianism. As I said, I only covered when he started addressing issues in my field, news and politics.
