How many pastors would be willing to loose their non-profit tax status in order to stand for the truth? Who’s speaking out against the Trans indoctrination of our kids? Who’s standing up against the groomers looking to sexualize our youth?
The Bible is *more communal than individual.
Jesus teaches us to pray "Our Father" not "My Father."
Paul uses the phrase, "our Lord" 53 times, & "my Lord" only 1 time.
"Jesus is my personal savior" is not found in Scripture.
We are the people of God.
We belong to each other.
There are nearly 400,000 churches in America. Only 1,750 are megachurches (2,000 in weekly attendance).
The megachurch is % 0.004 of the church in America. That's less than % 1.
That's the tweet ☺️
Evans went on to say:
“You don’t have to be a criminal to be ‘worldly.’’ All you’ve got to do is leave God out of the equation.”

There’s a piece to be written — and I won’t be writing it — about why all the anti-history, anti-racism, anti-Black laws passed under so-called anti-CRT haven’t provoked the same righteous, and it is truly righteous, corporate outrage of the “Don’t Say Gay” law.
Do not be deceived. The world doesn’t hate us bcuz we stand for righteousness. The world hates us because there’s too much unrighteousness in our stance.
The most militant voices on social media are often relatively new converts to the perspective they’re so viciously promoting.
Filled with shame, they’re attacking their former selves as much as attacking others. That kind of zeal is rarely coupled with judiciousness and grace.

Here's a good resolution (for me, anyway). Take a little of the energy you spend critiquing the church and direct it toward joyfully participating in its life.
A fish absorbs oxygen from water, not air, so it's free only if it is restricted to water. If a fish is ‘freed’ from the river and put out on the grass its freedom to move and even live is destroyed. Real freedom is finding the right restrictions, the ones you were designed for.
