@ScottyWardSmith Thank you Scotty.
As a retired, married, church planter who now works with missionaries to unreached countries, I join you in this prayer. I sense the battle intensifying in every area.
@Not_the_Bee So the “nothing” their light came from was a “vacuum of seething potential”. And it was brought into existence by powerful laser beams. Seems like we’re still a long way from something came from nothing.
@edstetzer@tonymorganlive So very sad to hear this. Tony and the Unstuck team were a big part in helping our church transition into new leadership when I retired 7 years ago. His impact on me and the church will remain!
@SamAllberry My son and I, after hearing your eulogy at Tim Keller’s funeral, bought two copies of your commentary on James. We just finished studying through it together. It has been life changing. I wanted you to know before we lost this means by which to tell you. Thank you!
@Not_the_Bee One person was killed by an e-bike fire in NY in 2021, 19 cyclists were hit and killed by cars. Let’s ban all bikes! BTW, most so called e-bike fires are actually caused by cheap Chinese scooters with low quality batteries.
@edstetzer After 10 years of service and two distinguished service awards, our son walked away from law enforcement last week. The toll on him emotionally and physically along with increasing lack of support from leadership made it no longer worth jeopardizing his and his family’s future.
Those of us in these groups, however, are all depicted by the Left and the Right as “really” stealth members of the other evil side. It's important to remember that each of these sides has gradations. If we did, it would change some of the conversations and rhetorical points. 3/3
These two sides are by far the loudest and most numerous voices on social media. Others (like me) say systemic/institutionalized injustice certainly exists—but we break into groups that say (a) but not often, or (b) often, or (c) quite a lot but not always. 2/3
A big issue is “systemic” or “institutionalized” injustice. I define the Right as those who say it hardly exists in the U.S. anymore. I define the Left as those who say it “explains everything” and it is the total cause of all unequal outcomes. 1/3
