Today, being politically conservative is synonymous with being pro-life.
That wasn't the case at all right after Roe.
In 1977, the ideological gap between pro-life/pro-choice was 5 points or less among Christian groups.
It's a chasm, now.
48 points among mainline Prots!
Two things (because stuff like this is very common)...
1) Jesus' parents literally traveled to Bethlehem during a national census "to register" (to be legally documented and comply with citizenship laws), Luke 2:1-3
2) Progressive people selectively-edit Jesus to leverage Him as a mascot for their cause. You can also say things like...
- Jesus was unvaccinated
- Jesus told his followers to buy self-defense weapons
- Jesus was majority culture in His region
- Jesus fed the poor without raising taxes
- Jesus came from a traditional patriarchal family
- Jesus loved his nation
... but Jesus is a Lord, not a mascot.
There are no "gay Christians"--there are only "Christians" (no modifier) who must battle the flesh in a thousand ways, including heterosexual lust, homosexuality, vengeance, pride, idolatry, doubt, anxiety, gluttony, anger, cowardice, man-centeredness, deception, and much more.
@pastorlocke Why make claims about such grave things if you have no desire to confirm those claims? You’re not being attacked…. you’re the one who said those things…
@MikeWingerii I seriously don’t understand what Greg’s deal is? He’s mad that Mike asked him where his (Greg’s) evidence was that Kenneth Copeland and Joel osteen committed crimes against children? Why is he even mad, he’s the one that said it? I’m seriously confused LOL
🚨TODAY: The Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias published a report detailing how the Biden Administration’s prosecutions, policies, and practices demonstrated anti-Christian bias throughout the federal government.
The report details the Biden Administration’s radical efforts to punish Christians and highlights @POTUS’s efforts to restore religious liberty.

🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled that drawing Congressional districts based on race under the Voting Rights Act is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, 6-3
This is a HUGE win, and could have MASSIVE ramifications for the 2026 midterms
Democrats for YEARS have sued over and over again to FORCE states like Louisiana to create black majority districts
Louisiana's map has now been thrown out.
If SCOTUS ends up gutting the act, a DOZEN Democrat districts could flip red overnight.
I’m joining X to share occasional updates about the work we do at the White House. We are relentlessly focusing on advancing President Trump’s agenda and delivering on promises to the American people. I welcome different viewpoints. Follow along for insights and information.
There’s a fire that rages in me when people, especially politicians, use Jesus as a mascot for their ideology.
Jesus Christ would love “gay kids,” without question, just as we are called to do. But He would love them into righteousness, He would not cheer them into hell like people like this do.
When Jesus told the Pharisees to “cast the first stone” at the woman who committed adultery, he didn’t tell the woman “you are fine the way you are.” He said, “go and sin no more.”
Jesus didn’t die the most excruciating death imaginable so we can stay trapped in perpetual sin. He died so that we may have NEW LIFE through Him. We are called to become new creations, not to use his grace as a get out of jail free card.
Jesus is LORD, not your mascot.
The amount of self-hate Americans have towards their own history is truly unreal.
They defeated slavery by fighting against their own family.
They shut Europe out of the western hemisphere so that nations wouldn't live under colonization forever.
They had the ability to stay out of world war 1 but they went and died to help Europeans.
They had the ultimate power in the nuclear bomb. They also had access to all of Europe's colonies that were in shambles. But instead they promoted freedom. They rebuilt Japan and Germany after defeating them in war. They stood down the Soviet Union, even as the world jeered them.
They sent soldiers to places like Vietnam and Afghanistan that died TRYING to create a better world (even if you disagree with those wars, the intentions were fairly good)
And they sent more missionaries to the world than maybe any other country in history. Translated more Bibles into indigenous languages than any other country in history. Ran bigger charities than any other country in history. Created more Christian resources than any other country in history.
Whether it was stopping the Dutch from reconquering Indonesia to the Berlin Airlift to giving Cuba its freedom in the Spanish-American war to saving China from the Japanese America has at least ATTEMPTED to do good with its power.
Yes yes, America has problems. People are imperfect. But goodness gracious does the world have a lot to be grateful for in America. And when we could have taken SO much from the world we have often chosen not to. Rome, Britain, Mongols, Assyrians, Soviets, Chinese, no other group has ever shown the restraint America has consistently shown with such vast power at its fingertips.
We didn't even get into the GIGANTIC technological advances, consumer advances, convenient lifestyle changes America has pioneered. From electricity to space to the light bulb to the smart phone to many cures in medicine and agriculture to the airplane the world has been enormously blessed by America.
.@POTUS: "Do not listen to the craven and cowardly voices who tell you America needs to think small, or to shrink from our duties or potential... We are the inheritors of the most incredible civilization that has ever existed, and our task is to defend it." 🇺🇸
