That one can excuse or ignore this while claiming to be “pro-life” is a sign of a seared conscience. God have mercy on us all.

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

It needs to be said…
This is not just a sickness of the mind.
It is also a sickness of the Spirit.

Donald Trump needs Jesus.
And we need every person who loves Jesus to stop acting like this is okay.

It’s not okay. It is sinful, deranged, and very unChristlike.

Follow Christ. Not Trump.

@JonahDispatch All evidence suggests there is no basis to think that about Republican senators.

@alanhe It’s precisely the America she voted for.

[Brian Stogner @BrianLStogner]

@RonFilipkowski Yes. Yes they are that dumb.

Well regulated militia strikes again. National tragedy. National scandal. National outrage.

@SiriusXMFantasy half point PPR. Zay Jones, or Josh Palmer?

[Brian Stogner @BrianLStogner]

@KampeOU Coach Kampe, you are a great friend to RU. It was a pleasure hosting you and your team. Let’s do it again soon!

@stephenhdbryce Is this statement just legalism of a different sort?

[Brian Stogner @BrianLStogner]

Believing that eternal conscious torment is the ultimate fate of the “lost” allows people to justify all manner of spiritual abuse and emotional manipulation as a means of rescuing folks from that supposed fate.

The Detroit Tigers entire starting lineup today has a combined total of 71 home runs this season. Aaron Judge has 62.

Recently read W. Jennings’s commentary on Acts. Reminded this is an account of a flaming Holy Spirit empowering people to live a new life of radical community and opposition to worldly powers. My faith tradition saw it mostly as a rule book for church rituals.

[Brian Stogner @BrianLStogner]

There are all kinds of emotional reactions you can see and even reasonably imagine Jesus having. Being upset or outraged that someone else got a break that he didn’t isn’t one of them.

@evancgreen How about Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain?

[Brian Stogner @BrianLStogner]

@mjohnharrison Loved it. It is creepy and scary, but so evocative. Some passages I just went back and reread because they were so elegant and beautiful. Have recommended it to friends whom I know have a certain sensibility. They loved it, too.

If you habitually believe a promiscuous liar, it will harm you. If you act on those beliefs, it will likely harm others, too.

[Brian Stogner @BrianLStogner]

Different kinds of liars. Skilled liars hard to catch at it. Unskilled liars obvious to anyone. But, the special case is Promiscuous liars. Lie unceasingly. Rapid fire. When a lie is revealed, they quickly tell another. They’re exhausting. We’re watching one in the news daily.
