@JeffreyPWiesner Love this

@storyofndblake Any theology that requires a temple, much less anything hewn by the hands of men is one that has no place in the Church.

[Alex McEwen @AlexEwen17]

@storyofndblake Ezekiel saw the spirit depart from the temple. The returned exiles were dissapointed when it didn’t return. Stephen said that the Lord didn’t reside in a temple made of hands. And Paul reminds us that we are a temple w/ Christ as the cornerstone.

@Kirk76J @KingAlfredsMen @drantbradley Yeah you’d really have to do some gymnastics to get the video to say anything other than Nancy is punishing the kid because they’re not excited to see her.

By her own admission, the rebuke to the child isn’t “don’t complain” her rebuke is “be excited when I arrive”

[Alex McEwen @AlexEwen17]

@JeffreyMMercer @ExaminingMoscow @drantbradley Many scholars agree that the US government meets many of the markers for a “new religious movement”. However, that’s clearly a red herring. What Wilson is doing meets almost every marker of a cult.

@TheRhetorRick When I did youth ministry I had seen more than one young kid try to invoke Santa in prayer around Christmas time. Why would you even make room for confusion?

@Dom_S_Hernandez My least favorite thing about his long form novels is his hireath for an American past that never existed. I think there’s a section of the Church that might long for that same fictional past, and he gets quite a bit of clout there too.

[Alex McEwen @AlexEwen17]

@Dom_S_Hernandez I think because he’s socially conservative and economically progressive. He strikes a chord with a group of Christian’s that care about others and yet want to pull against modern social norms

[Alex McEwen @AlexEwen17]

@Dom_S_Hernandez Unpopular because Berry is adored in Christian literary circles.

I recommend the Commerce of Violence as his greatest short essay. It can be read for free here https://t.co/Q7K8c6oMgD

@sidadm77 @ThinkInContext @StevenUllmer Thanks for the link. Read a couple of super encouraging articles from it.

@ThinkInContext @StevenUllmer Good word

[Alex McEwen @AlexEwen17]

@IVMiles If I ever here the “the right are literal Nazis” argument again

@TomDoyl00342852 @jamestalarico *because of a corrupt TEA run by generations of Texas R’s

[Alex McEwen @AlexEwen17]

@Free_Speech_1A @spacecity4life @jamestalarico There is literally not a voucher scenario that actually benefits the poor

[Alex McEwen @AlexEwen17]

@Free_Speech_1A @spacecity4life @jamestalarico Vouchers wouldn’t cover a fraction of the cost of a private school tuition so the vouchers continue to benefit the rich while undercutting the poor. But beyond that it only takes more money out of pub-Ed, so the kids stuck in pub schools only lose more opportunities

[Alex McEwen @AlexEwen17]

@facesjm150 @DeAngelisCorey @jamestalarico First of all, that’s the dumbest reason to be for or against anything. Second of all, most evangelicals (like most Texans, and even most Texas R’s) don’t support vouchers at all. The people supporting vouchers are West Texas oil mega billionaires

@ifffster @acmills237 I may have seen “the Gang Gets Trapped” 15 times now, and I belly laugh every time. It may be the funniest show ever.

I see 2 models for reaching Gen Z men.

1) Andrew Tate manosphere copycats who talk about muscles and specialize in vacuous pugilism. They burn things down

2) Engaging men in institution building. Let me introduce you to the zoomer’s Martin Luther👇🏻https://t.co/hduFWJaqtK
