If anarchy is so bad, then how come Outback Steakhouse has no rules and it's just right?

Can't wait to get this one! Lipscomb's political theology is rooted in Anabaptism, but has its own insights to add to the conversation.

My new book with @edstringham from @VanderbiltUP is now available on Amazon for pre-order: "The Political Theology of David Lipscomb" https://t.co/naY7ynvCaO

@MattWalshBlog Says the guy whose theological takes are consistently idiosyncratic.

@SenJohnKennedy I've seen you struggle to be kind to Trump while gently pushing back at some of his most authoritarian and self-serving tendencies. I wish you would be as direct with your critiques when it really matters to the American people.

@BasedMikeLee How dare someone who isn't Donald Trump weaponize the Department of Justice?

@nickgillespie A real Schmitt head.

@jeremiahcampana @LPChristCaucus I'm strictly opposed to "transing" kids, which is why it wasn't on my list of leftwing values that overlap with Christian values.

[The Anarchist Anabaptist (cody cook) @CantusFirmusCC]

@jeremiahcampana @LPChristCaucus *doesn't read my comment while accusing me of not reading the post*

[The Anarchist Anabaptist (cody cook) @CantusFirmusCC]

@LPChristCaucus Did you not frame this as a binary choice between leftists/left-libertarians on the one side and Christians on the other? Perhaps your communication was not as clear as you intended it to be.

I wish that this described the vast majority of Christians, as it apparently did in Diognetus' time:
"For the Christians are distinguished from other men neither by country, nor language, nor the customs which they observe. For they neither inhabit cities of their own, nor employ a peculiar form of speech, nor lead a life which is marked out by any singularity. The course of conduct which they follow has not been devised by any speculation or deliberation of inquisitive men; nor do they, like some, proclaim themselves the advocates of any merely human doctrines. But, inhabiting Greek as well as barbarian cities, according as the lot of each of them has determined, and following the customs of the natives in respect to clothing, food, and the rest of their ordinary conduct, they display to us their wonderful and confessedly striking method of life. They dwell in their own countries, but simply as sojourners. As citizens, they share in all things with others, and yet endure all things as if foreigners. Every foreign land is to them as their native country, and every land of their birth as a land of strangers. They marry, as do all [others]; they beget children; but they do not destroy their offspring. They have a common table, but not a common bed. They are in the flesh, but they do not live after the flesh. They pass their days on earth, but they are citizens of heaven. They obey the prescribed laws, and at the same time surpass the laws by their lives. They love all men, and are persecuted by all. They are unknown and condemned; they are put to death, and restored to life. They are poor, yet make many rich; they are in lack of all things, and yet abound in all; they are dishonoured, and yet in their very dishonour are glorified. They are evil spoken of, and yet are justified; they are reviled, and bless; they are insulted, and repay the insult with honour; they do good, yet are punished as evil-doers. When punished, they rejoice as if quickened into life; they are assailed by the Jews as foreigners, and are persecuted by the Greeks; yet those who hate them are unable to assign any reason for their hatred." - Epistle to Diognetus, ch. 5

My new book is long, but I would love to promote it more!

If you have a podcast, are interested in the subject, but have little time to read, I have an 8 page synopsis which covers the entire book I want to send you!

I would love to talk with you!

Kristy Anderson needs your help.

Since her son, Oliver, was medically kidnapped by Massachusetts state officials in 2024, Kristy Anderson has been fighting in the court of public opinion and the court of law to bring her son home.

Even after a judge returned custody of her other two children, baby Oliver has been stuck in DCF official’s custody and Kristy has been allowed just two one-hour supervised visits per week.

There is a lack of evidence, a long track record of dedicated care by this loving mother, and a powerful government system that has been shown, time and again, to make mistakes that tear families apart.

We are working alongside Kristy to make things right, and she needs your help, too

@SenseiPlato @robbysoave That's the rule. That's the goal now.
