Southern Baptists appoint a pastor to lead the fight against sexual abuse:

Marshall Blalock, a South Carolina pastor, was a part of the sexual abuse task force that oversaw the SBC Executive Committee investigation process.

Now he will lead efforts to implement reforms, including a new database of abusers, per SBC pres Bart Barber. https://t.co/RLcJmAOy3e

More from Shane on Sider:

For about 10 years, I’ve carried around this quote from Ron Sider, who died this week at 82. He said it in a sermon in 1984 that was instrumental in giving birth to the Christian Peacemaker Teams. (I’ll probably keep carrying it with me for another decade or so🫶) pic.twitter.com/CIRNWAsSRI

Charlie Kirk among the Seven Mountain Domionists:

Great event with @GoVictoryTV tonight in Ft. Worth—WOW! 4,000+ on a Sunday evening. Remarkable energy. The media is very scared of Christians rising up to reclaim America—and the left should be terrified! #SWBC22 #Flashpoint pic.twitter.com/zyVWWIOf5i

How do Southern Baptists define a “pastor”.

Abortion “abolitionists“

David Barton being David Barton. He is probably basing his prediction here on a twisted interpretation of a quote from the founding fathers:

One year ago, Christian nationalist pseudo-historian David Barton claimed we'd "shortly" get evidence of someone illegally casting thousands of votes in Georgia's election. We don't recall ever seeing that. Did we miss it? https://t.co/Kr02FURlcM

Barton is rallying pastors:

Are you a pastor? Join us in Dallas, Texas! September 1st.

Tom Buck lays down the law:

New Twitter Rule: I will not interact with Christians who have pronouns in their bio. 😀

— Tom Buck (Five Point Buck) (@TomBuck) August 2, 2022

And he’s still fighting against women pastors:

I am still waiting for someone to offer a biblical defense for female pastors.

Not any man can be a pastor, he has to meet the qualifications of 1 Timothy 3:1-7.

Where in Scripture do we find the qualifications for a female pastor?
