Watched the French-Stuckey debate. My main takeaway: The whole debate centered upon a truth-emotion continuum. I think Allie Beth came out ahead for one main reason that colors every issue debated: She indexes her understanding of emotion and empathy on a biblical axis, whereas French elevates emotion and empathy to a disproportionate degree. The consequence is to unmoor emotion from truth. There's simply a difference in rhetorical strategy: Stuckey focuses more on logos; French on pathos. Along those lines, another reason I think Allie Beth had the stronger hand is that she refuses to play the game of pitting love against truth (1 Cor. 13:6; Eph. 4:15). She's no less interested in kindness or empathy, but properly indexed by Scripture. French's focus on catering to emotional equilibrium (and thus hewing to progressive niceties) requires him to blur biblical categories.

Biblical ethics requires both logos and pathos, but our loves must be ordered and governed with a proper foundation. And notably, French's empathy tends in one direction, toward those to his left.

In short, Allie Beth focused on objectivity, reason, and right and wrong as the grounds of what constitutes love and kindness, whereas French's instinct is to defer to emotion and aesthetics.

@HwsEleutheroi Wow, I am glad you eventually made it safely into a spot. I’ll be at the event Thursday night, and I was concerned for your drive given how much ice there is currently. I’ll be praying it’s smooth sailing for you tomorrow!

@MikeWingerii @dangrossenbach @7FlyOverCountry When you have time (which I know isn’t often), you should check out “Mission of God” by @DrJoeBoot , and “Virtuous Liberty” edited by Andrew Sandlin.

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

If you’re Christian and your basic political advice to other Christians is “shhhhhh” then I suggest you take your own advice.

I prefer working hard to plot a path forward for thinking biblically and staying expressly Christian and seeking to have a big impact.

But it’s a strange phenomena that many are silent on almost all topics deemed political, or at least intentionally muffled (even when the Bible is very clear on the issue) until they hear another Christian taking a stand on one side or another. Then, they very vocally call for a collective shush.

I know it’s messy if we get involved but it’s a bigger mess if we don’t.

The main rule for New Testament Christians is not physical separation from evil, but conquest of it.

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

A gospel message which is sufficiently vague about specific sinful idols of the culture can easily avoid persecution and conflict.

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

Let’s not wait and see if revival is here. Let’s bring it.

Revival in my own life. Repentance of sin, the life changing recognition of the glory of God, and life filled with the purpose of seeking first God’s kingdom and righteousness.

Revival in the world. Boldness and courage. Confidence that you can change the world. Refusal to give up. The gospel as your greatest message. Seeking the common good (love your neighbor), which also informs Christian political advocacy.

[Owen Strachan @ostrachan]

The gospel at the Charlie Kirk funeral was:

--Sung (beautiful worship music)

--Proclaimed (McCoy, Turek, others)

--Exemplified (through a bold and joyful God-centeredness)

--Fleshed out (by connecting Charlie's faith to his courageous actions)

--Applied (as Erika Kirk publicly forgave Charlie's killer)

WOW.

This memorial is the nail in the coffin of third-wayism. Praise God. No more lukewarm, inoffensive Christianity.
