honored to appear in the latest issue of the @WestminsterTS magazine alongside @IVMiles, @PeterLillback, @RevKevDeYoung, @RevDocFix, @RobPacienza, and others my piece covers Presbyterian arguments for religious tests for office

The PCUSA is an apostate denomination that has embraced theological liberalism, moral relativism, and religious pluralism. This is another example of the fatal fruits of failing to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints. This is not the Presbyterianism of Knox and Witherspoon.

The Presbyterian Church (USA), the largest Presbyterian denomination in the United States, has passed a measure expressing support for body-deforming sex-change surgeries for youth exhibiting gender dysphoria. Wow....the church has lost its compass.

Today, the Westminster community celebrates the 90th birthday of the inimitable, Richard B. Gaffin Jr.. Gaffin is Emeritus Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology at Westminster, where he began teaching in 1965. More than an academic, Gaffin was a devoted churchman, being ordained in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. He has made inestimable contributions to Reformed systematic and biblical theology, which continue to bless the church today. Join us as we celebrate Dick Gaffin! To celebrate Dr. Gaffin's 90th birthday, and commemorate his rich contributions to the church, The Westminster Bookstore is pleased to offer 50% discount on Word and Spirit: Selected Writings in Biblical and Systematic Theology (WSP, 2023).

"The greatest challenge facing many churches today is not the existence of zealous young men. It is the absence of mature men willing to disciple that zeal and direct it toward faithful service in Christ’s kingdom." @MD_Adams90 in his latest GRN Article (link below)

"In this 250th anniversary year of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, Penn, we thank You for the United States of America and the “state of liberty” which You, our covenant-keeping God, have graciously established and preserved in this land."

250 years of unprecedented freedom. Our founders understood that liberty is not self-sustaining. It must be grounded in truth, guided by virtue, and guarded by faith. “With a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence.” Happy Independence Day!

Words cannot express my gratitude for the leadership and friendship of Peter Lillback. His courage, humility, and grace are an example to us all. He has been a faithful contender for the faith. @WestminsterTS

If the weekly attendance is true, that would mean any given Sunday, more people are likely attending a PCA church than a mainline PCUSA church.

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) just revealed at their 227th General Assembly that they've dropped under a million members for the first time ever, 992,158 to be exact. Of course, those are only member numbers on the books. Weekly in-person attendance is closer to 375k. We

There is an article to be written about #pcaga tensions as it grows into an actual national denomination and Albion’s Seed. I am not smart enough to write it, but it is there to be written.

During yesterday's business at the 53rd General Assembly, I had the privilege of offering a prayer of thanksgiving to God for the United States of America. Many have asked for the text of that prayer. Here it is: Heavenly Father, we praise You, our Creator and Keeper. Your mercies never fail, and they are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness. You’ve ever and always been faithful, as revealed to us in, by, and through our Savior Jesus Christ: prophet, priest, and King of kings. We give you thanks for Christ our King, and we do so in His Name. As a distant successor body of the Colonial American Synod of New York and Philadelphia, we thank You for hearing and answering the prayers of that Synod and its congregations, offered in solidarity with pious Christians “of probity and principle of every profession,” united under Christ’s banner of love. In this 250th anniversary year of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, we thank You for the United States of America and the “state of liberty” which You, our covenant-keeping God, have graciously established and preserved in this land. “Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land” (Psalm 85:9). Lord our God, we earnestly renew the entreaty: “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matt. 6:10). We pray that You would advance the sacred cause of liberty here at home in North America and abroad around the world such that we Your Church might freely worship You according to Your Word. We pray that You would establish justice and righteousness in these United States through the equal protection of every human life under the law, and the punishment of evildoers (WCF 23.1). We pray this for the glory of Christ, the Head of the Church, that by His Word and Spirit, all nations would recognize His supreme beauty, power, goodness, grace, and love. May God bless the PCA, may God bless America, and may God bless our pilgrimage, in the glorious Name of Christ we pray, Amen.

Wonderful PCA Assembly. Love this denomination. We elected @fredgreco and @MeltonDuncan to great positions. We repudiated egalitarianism and the ordination of women. We gave thanks to God for the progress of the gospel and for cheeseburgers and freedom. What a time to be the PCA.

This cheeseburger-loving patriot just delivered the best speech of the PCA's General Assembly #pcaga

Thoughts on PCA GA. Louisville was a great host city. @MeltonDuncan was an expert moderator. Seeing friends old and new was encouraging. But I’m highest on the young ministers who are devoting themselves to this denomination and its long term health. The future is bright.

2026 PCAGA Moderators Speech June 23, 2026 Louisville, KY I am profoundly grateful to the Assembly for granting me the privilege of Moderating this year. By God’s grace, I will do by best. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to @rdp4christ Dr. Richard D. Phillips for his gracious nomination, and for the great privilege of serving on his ministerial staff, and for his kindness and friendship in the Lord over many years to me and my family. I wish also to acknowledge my spiritual debt to @SPCGreenville the Second Presbyterian Church of Greenville, South Carolina. My Church Home. Second Church commissioners—led by Gordon Reed, J. Ligon Duncan, Jr., Stuart Patterson, and Douglas Patton—resolved with 383 other PCA founders in Birmingham, Alabama in December of 1973, to form the Presbyterian Church in America. Each of those men spent the rest of their lives, by God’s grace, building the PCA. We are the beneficiaries of their faithful labor, and to the handful of our founders still with us we say: We thank the God of Heaven for what you have begun. Our founders believed the Bible was inerrant, they desired the Reformed faith to be ascendant, and they longed for a vibrant missionary force committed to the ordinary means of grace to carry the Gospel to every corner of the globe. In these fifty-three years, by God’s grace, we have made a good start as grassroots Presbyterians, and this week we will witness the latest chapter in our continuing story. A story that connects the PCA from Acts 15 to the Isle of Iona, From the Reformation to the Mound in Edinburgh. From Philadelphia Presbytery to Hanover Presbytery to Warrior Presbytery. One might even say from Francis Makemie, James Templeton & John Witherspoon to Jack Williamson, Bob Canada, and Morton Smith - joined & received later by Jim Boyce, Bob Rayburn & Francis Schaefer. The PCA now reaches around the world from Seoul to Sao Paulo and from Canada to Cajamarca…even to Clemson this is our PCA continuing story and until heaven The PCA is our home together in this world. I am especially thankful for my wife Lynda, who is with me tonight—she whom I famously met at a church ice cream social. I give thanks for our covenant children, Ford, Frances, and Mary, for both my brothers, Ligon & John, both PCA elders, our extended Duncan family, and for our Church family in Greenville and within @Calvarypresby Calvary Presbytery’s blessed bounds. Grateful for so many PCA brothers & sisters, and the brethren across NAPARC. Fathers and Brothers, there is much work before us this week—and even a good bit to do tonight. I know many of us come with particular matters on our minds, and we will surely have points of disagreement. Yet let us make good arguments, listen well to one another, and by God’s help conduct all our business in decency and good order. May it also be said of us in the spirit of Philippians 1:27 that our manner of deliberation was worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that when others hear of us they will know the PCA is “standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel.” Amen

The General Assembly of the PCA just voted to declare the CBMW's Danvers Statement a "biblically faithful" declaration of complementarian conviction and to promote it among their denominational teaching materials. Hallelujah! @CBMWorg x.com/PCAByFaith/sta…

Grateful the PCA GA has answered Overture 66 in the affirmative! As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, let every PCA congregation give thanks to the Lord for His providence over this nation. May we continue to pray for revival and stand firm for biblical truth in the public square.
