Modern reparations? A Marxist innovation, not a stitch of it rooted in the Bible. And while pro-reparations "churches" like to point to Nehemiah, Nehemiah didn’t pass the hat generations later. He solved injustice head-on, immediate and personal. Today’s reparations...
If you have to pay people to come to church, you might have a dead church. Jesus promised He would build his church on the solid rock of faith—faith in the atoning work of Christ on the cross. Yet, some "churches" either don't believe that, or are just simply...

It's been a while since I've covered anything that Southern Baptist pastor, Dwight McKissic has said. It's mainly because everything he says, no matter how outlandish it is, he's already said before and it just really isn't newsworthy. But I ran across another tweet...
