@joe_rigney Even the world is starting to see what you’ve been all over for years.
Thanks for the clarity you’ve given us lately.
Looking forward to the book!

@ThabitiAnyabwil Yet you’ve attempted to bind the conscience of me AND my wife on how we should vote multiple times.
Why are we not calling this idea of you telling us not to do what you do the hypocrisy that it is?
When I do it it’s coercive abuse.
When you do it it’s just pastoral politics?
A Christmas reminder:
”And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us…”
John 1:14 LSB
”[He] emptied Himself, by taking the form of a slave, by being made in the likeness of men.“
Philippians 2:7 LSB

He was made in the same likeness you’re made in.
He experienced every type of temptation that you face.
He had to grow in all the ways you must grow in.
He was truly a baby in every sense.
The same Jesus who knew how to walk on the water had to learn how on the ground.

Remember: What people think about when they think about you is far more important that what they think about when they think about God.
Good luck out there.
And don’t forget your sheep-skin suit.
Those pesky sheep are getting smarter by the day.

…and if they turn around and ask you the same questions of your position, you gently remind them that you take position C (but not really).
This allows you to secretly hold position B without ever running the risk of having to defend it against “Bereans” in your church.
