@lukedsimmons I agree. I see it every week when I'm counting heads at my church. "Attending" is not the same as paying attention to be spiritually fed.
I think the compromise consensus position for pretty much everybody of good faith should be that the full text of the agreement be released. There’s no reason to take Trump’s word or Iran’s or random leakers’ word for it. Release the text, period.
Yes, Colbert doesn’t seem like a good example of how to be a Christian in the public square, even if that became 100x more evident after Tim said it.
I think the problem, Megan, is that for 95% of Tim’s loudest critics, the people they have chosen as said examples have, ummmm, not stood up well, either. And this is me being as nice as I can be.
@jerrymccorkle@megbasham This is how Megan makes a living. Plus she likes being critical. Folks, spend infinitely more time listening to Tim Keller sermons, than listening to Megan; your soul and your neighbor will thank you for it.

A friend, upon posting this, said, rightly, "Ever notice that the gospel is never their answer?" He is right, of course. This is Christless Nationalism. It can't have the gospel as its power since it is a political movement wearing a religious mask, nothing more. And the amazing thing is, these guys are so benighted they don't realize that without the Spirit sweeping across a nation or a culture, the powers they think they possess can, and will, be used against *them*. One major national election tilting to the left and the "ban Hinduism" mantra becomes the "ban Christianity" mantra and they won't have the slightest ground of complaint. They just don't get that our only hope, and our only power, is the gospel, not the state. Christless Nationalism is a caricature that may well have tragic consequences.
