Dr. MacArthur’s sermon emphasized the necessity of the born-again believer speaking God’s truth in our society. He explained the major problems of this society, and how these are the result of God’s judgment of abandonment. He briefly traced the social history of that judgment using Romans 1, and went to 2 Corinthians 10 and talked about ideological strongholds, how God’s truth is the only way those fall… that we must be focused on breaking these down by speaking God’s truth. He also explained how false teachers interfere with truth being spoken; and how politicians are increasing judgment by codifying wickedness, and more.

Teachers, Staff Say Schools Trained Them to Hide Students’ Gender Identity From Parents – Epoch Times
…Secrecy surrounding a student’s gender transition has prompted Texas state Rep. Steve Toth, a Republican, to plan legislation for a Parent Bill of Rights during the 2023 Texas legislative session. It would be modeled on Florida’s law. …In a press release issued on Oct. 18, Toth accused trustees in one of the most conservative areas in Texas of not being transparent with parents on transgender issues. …Toth said teachers should be required to alert parents when students question their gender, not help youngsters hide their uncertainty. “At no time have they reversed their policy,” Toth told The Epoch Times. “You don’t have the right to withhold this information from Texas parents.”

DeSantis Signs Bill Requiring High Schools to Observe ‘Victims of Communism Day’ – Epoch Times
“We want to make sure that every year folks in Florida, but particularly our students, will learn about the evils of communism, the dictators that have led communist regimes, and the hundreds of millions of individuals who suffered and continue to suffer under the weight of this discredited ideology,” DeSantis said Monday morning. The Victims of Communism organization has estimated that communist regimes have caused the deaths of at least 100 million people via political purges, religious persecutions, mass starvation, and other crimes against humanity during the 20th century. Chief among those regimes is the CCP, which is believed to have left around 80 million Chinese people dead.
1 Corinthians 6:15-20 On Sexual Sin, Part 2 of 2
This post looks at the teachings of SBC pastor J D Greear on sexual sin, comparing them to 1 Corinthians 6:15-20; MacArthur’s Bible Commentary explanations are used to explain scripture. Greear stated his beliefs about sexual sin in the one-minute video below; thereafter, you will find verses 15-20 of 1 Corinthians 6 and explanations of that text from the MacArthur Bible Commentary. There is a vast difference between Greear’s stance and that of the Bible. I am speculating that this difference derives from the SBC’s having incorporated Marxist’s ideologies via Resolution 9 whereby they deemed that CRT and intersectionality could be used “as an analytical tool subordinate to scripture.”
John MacArthur Rebukes Woke Evangelicals for Perverting the Gospel
The 2-minute video in this post, by pastor John MacArthur, calls for discernment via the critiquing of the CRT movement at the SBC. That is not the only place it has been advocated by undiscerning and unbiblical preachers, however. Pastor MacArthur called it just the most recent example of human philosophy coming to fruition.
The Southern Baptist Convention & The Subordination of Scripture – James Lindsay, Ep. 80
In April of 2019, the famously conservative Southern Baptist Convention adopted an infamous resolution, Resolution 9, bringing into the Convention both Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality “as an analytical tool subordinate to Scripture.” This is, at best, a fundamental misunderstanding of Woke Marxism (thus CRT/I), which are explicitly designed to identify anything they are put in subordination to, subvert that thing, and then occupy a position of dominance over it (which they deny they are doing). In this must-listen episode of my subscribers-only podcast, James Lindsay OnlySubs, I go into this facet of Theory and raise important questions about why anyone would think this was a good idea. Join me to hear all about the threat from within to a conservative religious icon. -James Lindsay
