@patrickbetdavid I wonder how many tax accountants he has working for him. He could fire them and pay whatever the government tells him to. Simple solution….

@REVWUTRUTH No, for thousands of years Christians have rightly interpreted that passage to mean something you find uncomfortable. This is totally Gen. 3 all over. “Did God really say????”

@spencerpratt You are on a roll. Go get them.

@howertonjosh One Christian scientist I saw said that wherever you find a cluster of UFO or alien abduction reports you almost always find a concentration of occultic activity near by. They are demons. The clouds over Muldor are getting darker.

@epaleezeldin @HarmeetKDhillon @NewsNation @bungarsargon Having roots in Appalachia, excuse me if I’m skeptical that this work out well for those in Appalachia. See American Chestnut timbering, coal mining, and strip coal mining as examples.

@AndrewTWalker That’s what we did in Chattanooga and it’s very moving to visit. They actually said they could feel the darkness when they first walked in the building.

@TCNetwork I think it is hard to get past John 14:25 “If you love me, keep my commandments.” This is a really bad take that any pastor or theologian in America could help you understand the truth.

Rosaria Butterfield on the part of her testimony that squishy evangelicals find really offensive:

"We are called not only to mortify the flesh, we're called to do more than that. We're called to get up and live in the righteousness of God.

True believers are a Galatians 2:20 people: 'I've been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me, and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who loves me and gave Himself for me.'

God changed me. He changed my affections. He does that. I am no longer gay, and I am no longer an atheist, and I have been married to my godly husband, who is also my pastor, for almost as long as I have been a Christian.

I met and married Kent two years after I committed my life to Jesus. And my marriage to Kent Butterfield has been my greatest protection over my heart and my soul and the particular way that the Lord used an agent of grace, my husband, to help my feelings and my affections change...

And I'm a little baffled...why is no longer being gay considered inauthentic? I mean I've wondered, why was my past personal experience as a lesbian authentic, but my present life as a heterosexually married woman to a faithful godly husband with children and a grandson inauthentic? I mean, I'm just curious, but when did it become inauthentic in squishy evangelical-land to be a born again Christian?"

@TheBabylonBee I had mine out yesterday for the spring scalp.

// Why appropriate political engagement by the church is not a DISTRACTION from the Great Commission, but a LEAD MEASURE toward it //

Show me a map of the bluest states in America.
Then show me a map of the states with the least churches.

IT'S THE SAME MAP.

UNCOMFORTABLE PRINCIPLE OF OUR ERA: If you want the advance of the church and the accomplishment of the Great Commission to get MUCH harder in a region, here's all you gotta do: Let it go blue.

Helping lead a church planting network that only plants in highly-unchurched secular areas, I can tell you this is for 2 primary reasons...

1) Strangulation by regulation.

Because progressive areas tend toward high-taxation and high-regulation, families tend to have much less disposable income to give to churches and it is MUCH, MUCH harder to get churches built.

In the words of my friend, Washington state pastor @McPherson_Josh1, "They don't make building churches ILLEGAL, they just make it nearly IMPOSSIBLE."

2) Because progressivism reframes many good things as evil and many evil things as good, it installs a plausibiity structure in the populace that makes Christianity emotionally hard to accept.

Once you start believing things like...

- Abortion is moral good and a "civil rights issue"
- Opposing transgender ideology is harmful and causes mass child-suicide
- Any acknowledgement of gender distinctions is the oppressive patriarchy
- Socialism and Socialism-lite = "compassionate caring for the poor"
- LGBTQIA+ acceptance and advocacy is "basic human decency"
- Redefinitions of "justice" toward "equal outcomes for ethnic groups" instead of the Biblical concept of justice being "equal standards for individuals"
- Etc

... Christianity no longer seems just mistaken, but evil.

And when someone is mistaken you can ignore them, but once you believe they are evil, you feel a moral obligation to oppose and stop them...

Which brings back the original point: If you want to make the accomplishment of the Great Commission MUCH, MUCH harder in a city / state / region, here's all you gotta do: Let it go blue.
