It has always been faith that saved... always.

[Pastor_Mike @MikeKaylani]

@megbasham Agreed.

I would just say the exact opposite can be said as well... strong rebukes without compassion or a desire to help someone find hope.

[Pastor_Mike @MikeKaylani]

Humility and Repentance are essential in us for God to shine through us.

@EWErickson Sometimes losing one election to send a message and hopefully change the direction of a party that used to care is better than a short term win.

[Pastor_Mike @MikeKaylani]

@KhalilJeries Hate solves nothing. Never has, never will. It perpetuates pain. Praying for hate to be replaced with hope, peace, and a love for life.

[Pastor_Mike @MikeKaylani]

May your worship be pure, your hearts full, and your will in submission to the truth of God today.

[Pastor_Mike @MikeKaylani]

@megbasham I also think the same is true in reverse. You can respect people highly, even if you think they are in error in some of their statements.

[Pastor_Mike @MikeKaylani]

@megbasham It depends. Pen Gillette once made the good comment saying "how much do you have to hate someone to not share the gospel with them." He has been commended for that statement, even though he has rejected the gospel. I think you can commend statements without commending the author.

[Pastor_Mike @MikeKaylani]

@DavidAn1611 @megbasham True-ish... but there are many Catholics who understand the gospel.

[Pastor_Mike @MikeKaylani]

It's easy to call out the sin we want to call out. It's a lot harder to call out the sin we don't want to.

[Pastor_Mike @MikeKaylani]

@drewdyck Huh?

[Pastor_Mike @MikeKaylani]

@JoelWBerry I usually support your takes, but this is a bad and uninformed take, Joel.

@LloydLegalist If you parked on an incline you were trapped. It would be like to push a dead elephant off of you just to get out of the car.

@IhabHassane Ihab, I follow and appreciate you and the awareness you bring to the realities of Palestinians. That said, a word like genocide, regardless of international law, evokes the idea of death and murder. It should not be used "technically" but "emotionally," or it loses its meaning.

[Pastor_Mike @MikeKaylani]

@aziz0nomics Sorry, brother. Keep up the good fight.

God is using Sasse in death as much as He has in life. Thankful for his testimony.

[Pastor_Mike @MikeKaylani]

@stickyfrogg @IhabHassane True, but if there were any follow through, the claims could be either affirmed or refuted. Part of the issue is that there is zero accountability for this kind of behavior. If you want to hold Palestinians accountable for their radicals, Israel needs to do the same.

@5solas Why would the U.S. capitol be used as something “holy” to Christians?

[Pastor_Mike @MikeKaylani]

@ProfDBernstein Coleman Hughes hosted a good conversation about this on his podcast. The difference is that Israel does not have U.S. military personnel or bases, and it has no control over the conduct of the IDF. People could argue they should all be treated the same.
