@erichoke I have been in ministry for 20 years and have lived in the south, Midwest, and west coast before moving to Baltimore. While we were able to easily adapt to the others (though very different), Baltimore was like another planet. We stayed less than 2 years before heading back west.
@calebgarraway @AndrewONeal1 @GHarvestAmerica @BrianEdwards__ At least remove the people trying to cover up crimes from the list of those who recommend the book.
Once again it’s like these guys have been part of my late night theological conversations with friends, mentors, and the Holy Spirit.
Thankful for their uncompromising stand for scripture and truth.

He stood with the marginalized.
He went out of his way to meet the outcasts.
He loved everyone.
It’s time for His followers to speak out against hate and unite in love.

Systematic racism is still running rampant in our nation AND IN OUR CHURCHES!
This is wrong.
It is disgusting.
And it should make you sick.
Jesus was not racist.
Jesus was not sexist.
Jesus was not a respecter of persons.
I have listened to this episode 3 times and have found it to be incredibly encouraging & convicting. I'm thankful for this transparent father-son conversation about Jesus, the Bible, church, and following scripture.

Fathers and pastors, be careful. Those who you influence are counting on you, because,
“It distorts your view of God when the man who represents God initiates fear in you.” @BrianEdwards__
No one offends me more, fails me more, disappoints me more, deceives me more and lies to me more than I do.
God help me be aware and reminded of this sobering reality.
@StephenCox_SC We offer both, but only about half a dozen people ever pick up a hymnal.
IMO, screens allow people to be more corporately engaged as opposed to engaged with their hymnal while also offering a greater variety of songs.
If we claim to be Bible-believing Christians, and followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, and yet, we are mean-spirited towards those with whom we disagree, and those who aren’t “one of us,” we might be doing this matter of “following Jesus” all wrong.
Just saying!
@miraclemansion Josh is a great guy. I’m just sorry to say that having grown up in TN this doesn’t surprise me. I grew up in a wonderful church and community that was riddled with underlying racism. And they don’t even realize it. It’s a problem!
@thompsrus While you continue to propagate your extremist non-Christmas-music-listening position, you can’t convince me that you would walk past these without indulging. #hypocrite 🤣🤣🤣
Our call as a church has nothing to do with safety. We are called as believers to run head first into the danger with the love of Christ. —Matt Roberts
Reading broadly and discerningly expands our ability to relate with and effectively connect to others.
Reading narrowly (i.e., those with whom we already agree) enhances the risk of over-subculturalization, where we end up nuancing differences that don’t matter.
Though there are many that I love, I’m pretty sure this is my all-time favorite Christmas song. What say ye? What Christmas song do you love?
