As government permits violence, looting and burning to be legitimate reactions by some, we can soon be looking for banana plantations to dominate our farm land.

Am I an American who happens to be a Christian, or am I a Christian who happens to be an American? (It's all about first allegiance.)

@ChristianPost I'm a supporter of LE. But this is the exact kind of thing where LE shoots itself in the proverbial foot. If you want to get people to trust you, get trustworthy officers/deputies. This is ridiculous.

From where did we get the idea that freedom means we should be able to go through life without being offended?

[Rick Lawrenson @RickLawrenson]

The recording of history is not meant for the pencil's eraser. How will we ever know where we are if we have forgotten from where we've come?

Blankets thrown over everything usually smother the good with the bad.

Even if I might despise what he does or says, I'm not told to trash him. I'm told to pray for him. 1 Timothy 2:1-2

[Rick Lawrenson @RickLawrenson]

An old fashioned concept that needs a comeback: repentance. Can there be any doubt that God is calling those who know Him to turn from our wicked ways. All of them.

Growing apart in marriage is natural. We have to work at it to grow together.

Pastors have a greater risk of developing PTSD than veterans of military combat, police officers, firefighters, paramedics, journalists, and hospital workers. https://t.co/1Y3V7PIvXF via @spnemo

Before a dysfunctional church can be "set in order" (Titus 1:5) there must be an admission that things are out of order and a passion for a reboot.

[Rick Lawrenson @RickLawrenson]

The church is working overtime to be cool, hip, cutting edge and relevant. God said for us to be "holy as He is holy". Where on our list of priorities is that one? Maybe we just don't know what it means.

[Rick Lawrenson @RickLawrenson]

@realDonaldTrump Amen.

[Rick Lawrenson @RickLawrenson]

God doesn't "show up". He is omnipresent...He's already there. But, we can certainly join Him by yielding to Him, or at least get out of His way.

What does it say about church culture in the US when on Thom Rainer's "Church Answers" the most viewed and most replied to topic is pastor attire?
How shallow are we?

[Thom Rainer @ThomRainer]

Declining church attendance has at its core unbiblical attitudes. It’s time to stop pretending otherwise. https://t.co/F99MuqZ5ci
