Edmonton police just released a child sex offender from prison, warning the public they fear he’ll repeat again. Meanwhile James Coates remains in prison for gathering his church to worship Christ as commanded. Isaiah 5:20. Romans 1:28. #BrokenMind#GivenOverGeneration

1st century Christians risked their lives to preach the Gospel. Why? Because they weren't obsessed with being liked by the culture. There was a foundational unity around Christ &His mission. They were ok with being hated by culture. We need more of this.
Because God is holy he requires propitiation for his wrath against us for our sin against him, and because God is love he propitiated his wrath against us in Jesus Christ who took our sin and nailed it to the cross.
The left uses violence. The right uses their voice. The difference matters.
And all the DC businesses that boarded up their windows know exactly what the difference is.
The world would be so much better if more people of influence just said, “I’m going to say, support, do this thing even if it offends this sacred group of woke people, even if the cancelers come after me, and I’m not going to apologize. They’ll get over it.” They’re ruled by fear
Bingo. Many are adamant about their particular views, but don’t have an objective moral standard to base it on. Therefore they can’t establish an objective right or wrong. Many steal aspects from the Christian worldview, but then throw out the parts that don’t suit their feelings
This election is an election of worldview. Regardless of who wins this cycle, it will be critical for the follower of Christ to be Biblically Literate to combat what’s next.
This is a tactic I’ve seen over & over again: pre-empting criticism & dismissing it rather then addressing it, and conflating the sincere critiques of faithful Christians with empty ad hominem attacks. It is a manipulative cop-out. 1/
When I say, "preach the gospel," I don't mean that Christians shouldn't have a voice fighting against injustice, abortion, abuse, etc.
I mean that many evangelicals have forgotten that activism doesn't transform the heart, only "preaching the gospel" does that!
Anyone who is a professing Christian needs to give this a listen by @D_B_Harrison and @VirgilWlkrOMAHA.
The problem is always a heart and sin issue. The answer is to repent and believe the Gospel.
This. Absolutely this. Real change comes from individual heart change - being born again, putting faith in Christ and daily repenting. Critical race theory and “being woke” aren’t the answers. The Gospel and the Gospel alone applied to every human heart is the answer.
Respectfully @BarnabasPiper, I don’t carry a “daily burden” because of my skin color. I don’t live my days “tired and angry.” Rather, I live my days to the glory of my Savior, proclaiming His Gospel to the unsaved and equipping His saints in their walk with Him.
