I’m learning a-lot about the importance of social media in pushing conversations that are often ignored. But it also can push cynicism & lack of charity. We can be bold and passionate w/o being unkind. I have needed to repent & most likely will again. We can be better! 1/2

It’s one thing to be gay and be conservative! By all means, you do you…doesn’t bother me! But that’s not the problem. It’s the platforming of your sexuality in order to become a rage peddling novelty on behalf of people and an ideology that will never accept you! Why? For what?

This! šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦. ā€œI’m increasingly convinced that white evangelicalism is unredeemable.ā€
This is the president of a Southeastern Baptist Seminary and the president of the Council for Biblical Manhood/Womanhood defending a white coach telling a black player that ā€œslaves should obey their masters.ā€ I’m increasingly convinced that white evangelicalism is unredeemable.

The church (I know broad brush…) has largely denied #LGBTQ individuals the grace of entrance into its communities, yet offers to be a part of our healing and finally shames us when anger, frustration and disillusionment spill out!

Challenge: when you see leader not leading well, ask, "If I were the leader here, how would I have done this differently?" Criticism is important, but that alone won't get us (or those we criticize) to solutions. Let's be in the habit of practically trying for something better.

Some of you are on your last stop before leaving Christianity! I see you, I get you, and honestly, I’m not far from you. Trying to fight for Jesus is exhausting and feels hopeless when it’sagainst a church that in all expressions often shames when a bruised reed needs deep care.

This right here!
The problem with Dave Chappelle’s framework is the same problem he had when white people laughed—an unsettling laugh—at his jokes. Of course, they said, it’s just ā€œjokes.ā€ But he knew, as fails to see now, that words have power, especially when your humanity becomes the joke.

Amen pastor, I would add that it should also be easy for us to include in that prayer protection for LGBTQ individuals in this country who are still very subjected to cruel discrimination, bullying, and violence (apparently). The church must respond and do more. So let’s say it!
Opened this app this morning to two related stories. Here’s the first:

Christianity in America would radically change if we understood ā€œtaking the Lord’s name in vainā€ as claiming the name of Jesus without doing the work of Jesus, instead of saying ā€œoh my god.ā€

Christianity, as we find it today, was never meant to be a weapon of control, hate, and power over others. Christianity, as imagined by Jesus, was always meant to be an instrument of liberation, dignity, and love.

ā€œBe Angry and do not sinā€ šŸ˜” All I know, is there is a type grief that finds your anger, and when it does it hits you so deep it forms what feels like a dirty bomb in your chest. Here’s to hoping that’s not sin!

To all our Comrades infiltrating the public school system in America operation CRT is a go, implement now… they are distracted. Note this won’t last long, it rarely does, so hurry.
This is for all my #LGBTQ brothers & sisters; Stop arguing for r your place and your dignity! You do not owe them a debate. So let me say they hard thing; They will never give it to you! Their aim is not your good, so move forward into what God is doing in you and through you!
I’m going to go ahead and claim this even though I’m pretty certain it’s not meant to extend as far as I’m gonna take it!! I’ll say it again and again, @BethMooreLPM is a treasure to many occupying the space she does!

You need to know that many who attack you do not even understand the issues. Couldn’t explain them if they had to. All they know is what side they’re on. Leave them to Jesus. Work hard. Endure faithfully. Reject bitterness. Pray hard. Rejoice defiantly. Fulfill your calling.

Should women wear tight leggings in public? In my new podcast, I argue that godliness calls for women to pursue modesty, and men to kill their lusts. Listen: bit.ly/3KdM2ow

Christian faith would be much healthier and healing if we didn’t see our faith as a way of winning arguments but a way of liberating and loving people.
