Albert Mohler on poison ivy:

More conservative evangelical attacks on Rick Warren:

Warren’s comment is an example of what my friend @TomBuck calls “woke hermeneutics” and, conversely, what my friend @VoddieBaucham calls “ethnic gnosticism.” This is precisely why Christ-followers must be spiritually discerning about who they follow (James 3:13-18). #NWWH https://t.co/Q5F6hST0TX
