I’ve found @RevKevDeYoung to be one of the most thoughtful, convictional, &, yet, gracious writers out there.
This was true in his two recent book reviews that’ve garnered such intense responses.
Such reminds me how volatile our times are & how we’ll need more Kevins, not less.
As Americans reckon more deeply with their history: Do we (A) repudiate the American experiment as inherently corrupt and irredeemable? Or, (B) push for greater alignment with the Declaration's own ideals on human dignity and natural rights?
I choose B. All day. Every day.

Dear Christians:
Now is a time to shine (Matt. 5).
Now is a time for unity in the gospel (Eph. 2).
Now is a time to oppose evil.
Now is a time to support the rule of law (Rom. 13).
Now is a time to hope in Christ.
Now is a time to pray for leaders (1 Tim. 2).
God reigns!
I suspect many evangelicals believed they could reach a compromise with the ideology of #CriticalTheory by signalling their (correct) opposition to racism, sexism, and injustice. They're in for a rude awakening.
CT rejects "compromise" as oppression. Its aim is revolution.
I asked @DrTomSchreiner about whether COVID-19 is a judgment of God on the world. He, as expected, answered brilliantly and concisely: "All temporal judgments are meant to direct our attention to final judgment."
One of the dangerous consequences of adopting #CriticalRaceTheory's ever-expanding definition of racism is that people will stop paying attention to actual racism.
We are not promised that we will survive the coronavirus, but we are promised that we will survive something far worse, the curse that falls on those who don’t know God.
I love this. But full disclosure, by this standard I am not elite, but striving. Full Disclosure aside - this is awesome. In the Christian world true influence is often invisible.
How to be an *elite Christian influencer*—5 key steps:
1. Read the Bible to kids
2. Sing Psalms with kids
3. Pray with kids
4. Catechize kids
5. Answer kids’ questions
Please rt this urgent request to @POTUS.
Mr. President, while you are in India meeting with PM Modi, please bring up to him the violent persecution of Christians in his country, under his watch, with his approval.
Please, sir.
Your voice can save many innocent lives.
