Jesus protested those who by their greedy and bigoted selling obstructed people—including unbelievers (Gentiles, cf. Mk 11:17; Isa 56:7)—from prayer and worship.
The only ones selling anything at @citieschurch on January 18th were the so-called “protesters.”
Their use of strong-arm sales tactics on behalf of their ideology prevented members, attendees, and visitors from praying and worshiping.
By His actions, Jesus made it easier for people to worship at the temple. By their actions, the “protesters” made it far more difficult for people to worship, if not impossible.
Even worse than the money-changers in the temple, and totally unlike Jesus, the “protesters” entered the church building under false pretenses, feigning to be peaceful visitors by taking seats in the pews.
Also worse than the money-changers and unlike Jesus, they traumatized children, slandered the innocent, and broke the law.
By going there to tell the worshipers what “bad” people they were, the “protesters” demonstrated how utterly unlike Jesus they are, how much like the bigoted money-changers they are, and thus what bad people they themselves actually are.
And now, @ShaneClaiborne is setting up his own little money-changer table here on X, trying to get you to trade the truth about Jesus for lies about Him and His word.

Those “Gospel Centered” folks who told us that BLM was more righteous than their fellow evangelicals should be made to own the Cities Church invasion, which was organized and led by BLM activists, the same people who they said it was racist to criticize not long ago.
I'd appreciate your prayers.
Last week while taking down Christmas lights, I lost control and fell off the roof. I broke my ankle in three places and fractured my T12 vertebrae.
I'll be having surgery tomorrow to repair the ankle. Please pray everything goes smoothly!

Wherein Saint Rachael comes off like a psychopath:
"Seldom have I had the subject of an article demand that I give over sources to them and reveal the names of people who feared retaliation from her so therefore chose to be unnamed in our article." https://t.co/Yp3alcMEdA
Criminal profilers believed Gary Ridgeway - the ‘Green River killer’ who murdered 90+ prostitutes - was a highly organized and intelligent man, because he got away with it so long.
When caught, he was actually an 82 IQ moron who could barely compose a thought.
