If this is a Christian Nation, then why is our commander-in-chief referring to human beings as "garbage" and threatening to take what belongs to others? Why is he whining about not having received the Nobel Peace prize? Why is he sending refugees home to dangerous places?

“China first” is not a Christian value.
“Nigeria first” is not a Christian value.
“America first” is not a Christian value.
“England first” is not a Christian value.

Christians are members of a global, blood-bought, multi-ethnic kingdom. And our allegiance is to a global God, not a tribal deity.

Dr. Andrew Huberman: "I don’t care if you’re atheist, agnostic, or a believer — when you truly study the brain, neuroplasticity, and biology at the level I have, you have to step back and just say: Wow. I believe in God."

The issue is the difference between the English word "belief" and what the Greeks meant by the word belief (pisteuō).

The English definition means to believe it's true or mental ascension. The Greek word means to put one's confidence or trust in. The Greeks believed (pisteuō) Socrates was sincere in what he taught. Why? Because he was willing to die for it.

Jesus isn't saying that those who mentally agree with him will be saved. He's saying those who trust him (in other words, their life) will be saved.

The Hill's Headlines — July 25, 2025 “American-born babies are American, just as they have been at every other time in our Nation’s history. The President cannot change that legal rule with the stroke of a pen.” https://t.co/CL4HQl7i5q

"Christians must be wary of dismissing scripture’s abundant teaching regarding the 'stranger' when the stranger in question is an undocumented immigrant—[including] a growing number of individuals who entered the US lawfully but had their protections abruptly withdrawn"

@philvischer Justice without mercy is legalism. Mercy without justice is chaos.

The best scientific conclusion following a century of research is that the origin and existence of life cannot be explained by the known laws of chemistry and physics.

Most Americans agree that those here illegally who commit crimes should be removed. But going beyond that to break up families who are working hard, paying taxes, and contributing to their communities isn’t where the country stands. What we need more of today is empathy and understanding.

Logos asked me recently to write an article on what the Bible teaches about immigrants, mainly focusing on the words used for immigrant. I started with two overarching points: God's people are all immigrants and we love God by loving immigrants. https://t.co/5XhkENBd56

Unity isn't optional. It's biblical. If you’ve given up on fellow believers because of how they vote, you’ve forgotten the One who died for zealots and tax collectors.

@MatthewSoerens No, definitely not

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

Trump is using the power of the US government to intimidate individual companies, universities, and citizens. Intimidation and a disregard for due process are grave dangers to our democracy and its institutions. This puts sectors of society into a collective action problem where each organization calculates that it's better (in the short run) to submit to the intimidation. This creates a trap that will continue, unless more people and organizations in each sector of civil society stand up to say no.

We won't always agree with the people and organizations we stand up for. But as a social psychologist who studies collective action problems, I believe it's important that we laud those doing the brave thing, which makes it easier for others to also be brave.

So, bravo Harvard. Bravo to the law firms that are saying no to intimidation.

And thank you David Brooks:
