NEW BOOK: Bold as a Lion: Christian Courage in an Age of Cowards. Now available in paperback and ebook! Get it here: https://amzn.to/49FjBA8In this video, I think through some of the possibilities of how the Ligonier drama could have ended differently. What is people repented publicly? What is apologies were made and forgiveness received? What if the PCA had acted differently, Ligonier had different policies for its speakers, or St. Andrews had never left the Presbytery? There are so many ways that this could have ended differently, and you know what? It STILL could end differently! We need a movement of the Gospel to help and restore. We need the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.
