Great work on the Connecting Scripture NT study Bible. I'm happy to see "woman" and "the gardener" were included as Eden allusions in John 20. @DrGladd @CSBible

This has been one of my favorite commentaries to consult in recent years. One of my seminary professors often reminded us that true theology is lived–working itself into all of life as God forms his people through the Word. This series reinforces that truth over and over.

I am excited to see the new Christian Standard Commentary landing page! Learn more about the series and our authors. 👇🏾 cscommentary.com



I cannot think of a more glorious vision for urban ministry than working toward planting churches that actually develop, strengthen, and send disciples.

Urban ministry is more than coats and cookies. @pastordeelowg

This was such a fun project to work on. In my completely biased opinion, it is probably one of the most accessible resources on church history you can find.

Wow. Love this resource from Lifeway. Such a beautiful product. A great church history introduction.

Even secular media outlets had the spine to report on the Kirk murder by calling it a murder. @CT sanitizing their reporting to appease their audience to the left is journalistic malpractice.

With a confrontational style honed for college campuses and social media, Charlie Kirk sought to renew America. The conservative political activist and founder of Turning Point USA died on Wednesday at age 31. christianitytoday.com/2025/09/died-c…



"Because lawlessness will multiply, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. This good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." Matthew 24:12-14

“He who is not angry, whereas he has cause to be, sins. For unreasonable patience is the hotbed of many vices; it fosters negligence, and it incites not only the wicked but even the good to do wrong.” —Thomas Aquinas, ST, II–II, Q.158, A.8, citing Homily xi in Opus Imperfectum

Such an honor and joy to be a part of the first Grimké Men’s Conference last week. I’ve been to a fair share of conferences over the years and this one, by far, was my favorite. We brought two men from our church and look forward to running it back in July 2026!

Great start to our @grimkeseminary men’s conference last night. Bryan Laughlin crushed his session. (It’ll be posted online later.) Also, I never tire of hearing several hundred men sing their hearts out to the Lord. Soul-stirring, God-honoring, glorious.

The Lord has used G.K. Beale’s writing to change the way I read the Bible. I’m so thankful for him and his work.

"If you're missing the allusions, you're missing most of the Old Testament in the New." G. K. Beale is the 🐐



Great thread on the CSB from @JoshuaBarzon

Given the state of the PC(USA) today, I think the day that Clarence Macartney warned about has come. (And not just for them but for most Mainline denominations.)

These are fighting words, but too often true. Catholics have a priesthood, but by their doctrine, they have a diminished view of Christ's high priesthood. Protestants put all their hope on Christ's finished work, and in union with Christ, we are a royal priesthood.

This should be a red pill moment for Protestants.

Stunning Esther allusion! We only have a few references to Esther in the NT, and here's one of them: Matthew 27:22 "They all answered, 'Crucify him [σταυρωθήτω]!'" Esther 7:9 "There is a gallows seventy-five feet tall at Haman’s house that he made for Mordecai, who gave the…
