Pre-Debate Road Trip Dividing Line from Houston

Most of my readers are familiar with BaptistFire.com, the conservative Baptist website that is, sadly, likewise rabidly anti-Reformed, grossly one-sided, and anonymous as to who is involved in promulgating its articles. Well, a number of folks have gotten together to launch www.StrangeBaptistFire.com, a website which will debunk the constantly misleading, imbalanced, and often easily refuted materials posted on BaptistFire.com.

Maintaining Sanity in Today’s Insane World
So much of today’s discussion in our society is focused directly on foundational Christian truths, and yet most in the church are silent, or confused. We discuss more developments in the collapse of our society’s cohesion regarding sex, marriage, and simple human existence, and look at two videos, one including Jim Wallace, the other the “Amen Church” in Dallas.

Wise Partnerships in an Uncertain Environment
As many of you know we recently launched a new “app” for the ministry. As a part of that process it was important for us to make wise decisions regarding who we would partner with to make it happen. We chose a company called Subsplash and have been very impressed with them as we continue to improve and expand these new tools.As many of you already know PayPal has recently announced that it has joined with ADL in order to root out groups that it considers undesirable. If you have read their announcement then you know that I am being generous in my description. Having watched the transformation of the ADL for decades I have seen what kind of groups they consider to be “undesirable” these days. While I don’t believe that used to be the case, I can clearly see how it is now and that it is a matter of time before they put this organization in their crosshairs.After a number of discussions within Alpha and Omega I have decided to move our credit and debit card processing away from PayPal and over to Subsplash. Their technology is top notch and their support teams are too. Moreover, the app already has a donation platform built into it so giving can now be done through that method as well. In addition to the concern over PayPal’s partnerships, Subsplash also has lower processing fees so your support of this Ministry will go even further. Of course they also offer the web based tool that can be found on our donations page and all of these processes meet or exceed current industry standards of security and privacy.If you are a current repeating credit or debit card donor to Alpha and Omega we will be reaching out to you soon to assist you in moving your donations over to SubSplash. Since no credit card data is ever stored or collected on our website or in our offices we will need your assistance to accomplish this. If you already use our preferred method of donating via Online Banking you don’t need to do anything.We so appreciate your support of this work.Blessings,Rich PiercePresidentAlpha and Omega Ministries

James Lindsay on John 1:1, then Calls
Spent the first twenty minutes responding to the excitement on Twitter yesterday when James Lindsay made reference to John 1:1. Then we took calls on baptism, whether it is James or Jacob in the New Testament, the vaccine mandates and the military, and church membership when you are Reformed and your church isn’t.
