Real faith looks a lot like foolishness and feels a lot like fear. Ironically, fear and folly can keep us from stepping out in faith.
Wow…🥹
Tony Campolo passed away today. He was 89 years old. He was one of the most gifted preachers I have ever heard. If you have a few minutes, listen to him tell the story of throwing a birthday party for a prostitute in Hawaii. It's worth your time.
Peter when the Judaizers caught him eating bacon with his homies in Galatia:
We just watched the American church wearing purple and scarlet, standing in front of the beast she had long feared, and collectively decide, "I really think we can tame that thing." It really is that simple: she wanted power and riches, and the beast offered exactly that. /1🧵
To my pro-Trump friends/followers. I just want to offer one more lens on this thing last night: Stephen Miller echoes Hitler’s nativist slogan. Tucker Carlson misidentifies Harris’ racial identity for the LOLs. Tony Hinchcliffe calls Puerto Rico an island of garbage. Sid…
Deep in his notebooks, Leonardo da Vinci had a mind-blowing idea: That the human body is a scale model of Earth. And that's just the beginning — his theory will change the way you see everything… 🧵
Has the U.S. economy, historically, been better under Republican presidents or Democratic presidents? A Republican financial analyst decided to find out. His name? Bart Starr, Jr. (Yes, the son of THAT Bart Starr.) The answer may surprise you.🧵
Now that I see this, I can't unsee it: Nightmare Before Christmas is a parable for Charles Taylor's "A Secular Age". Hear me out. 1/25
Twelve years ago today, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association removed Mormonism from its list of cults (Christianity-related non-Christian religions). Why? Because Mitt Romney was the GOP nominee.
Many people don't live their theology, they live out of their fears and project them onto theology.
“Most political sermons teach the congregation nothing except what newspapers are taken at the Rectory.” —CS Lewis
So many problems with this. First, she’s arguing with a true statement. No party will save us. This is a fact. Full stop. Second, she’s pretending that most policy issues are easily divided into “moral” and “immoral” positions. The reality is that most policy issues are not so…
“I feel like so much of what [my pastor is] saying is that we as Christians need to avoid politics and that no one party will save us.” This kind of message is so, so common. Pastor, it is not godly to tell your congregation, “no party will save you” and leave it at that. That…
You can be Christian and bald. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Lots of talk about tariffs in the news. A quick primer on how tariffs work:
This is how Republicans used to talk about immigration.
“When Satan offers to give him all the kingdoms of the earth, Jesus refuses, but the church accepts.” — Jacques Ellul
I took one counseling class in seminary. I doubt most MDiv students take more than that. Folks would rightly be skeptical of pastors w/so little training as counselors pretending to be therapists. And ministry training typically includes zero classes in politics. Get the point.
Post of the day: @jake_meador on Bell, Comer, Challies and directions of travel. Such a helpful piece on something I’ve been wondering about: mereorthodoxy.com/john-mark-come…
Demanding that your fellow citizens adhere to the strictest interpretation of the Bible while not requiring any adherence to the Bible from your preferred presidential candidate is one of the clearest ways to express that you see the Bible only as a tool for your own power.
A timely word from N.T. Wright who is a gift to the church in the 21st Century . . .
