Many had concluded that I was the target of much of the opening comments in that presentation, so I felt it proper to interact with it and raise the key issues that need to be discussed. Then I quickly went through comments made by a PRTS student, Derrick Brite, in which he made all sorts of accusations that are simply dishonest and untrue. Unfortunately, when I tried to save the comments I missed a number of the tweets which made things a bit hectic, but we got to the gist of the assertions. In any case, our DL truckers will enjoy this one as it went pretty long! Hopefully this will allow many to evaluate the claims people are making about what I have said and why I am pursuing the conversation. At least for those who have ears to hear!

Stumbled on a Soteriology 101 video asking if I am “right” about Matthew 23:37, so we dealt pretty fully with that new presentation for the first ninety minutes, then touched upon some other topics including Bart Barber’s amazing defense of Ed Litton.

I will have to be digging out in the morning as I need to get going, but it will be tricky! Anyway, talked a bit about some of the great men I’ve gotten to know in ministry as I got to attend the 25 year celebration for Pastor Jason Wallace here in Salt Lake last evening. Gave some thoughts on that matter before briefly commenting on some of the “Christian Nationalism” conversation, and then turning to some comments from Barrett and (seemingly) Fesko on the “Great Tradition.”
