The first step of a people straining for freedom in Iran was to burn Muslim Mosques.

Meanwhile, we’re building them in Texas.

I feel like we’re not connecting some dots here.

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

Not long after World War II the West dissolved its empires and colonies and began sending colossal sums of taxpayer-funded aid to these former territories (despite have already made them far wealthier and more successful). The West opened its borders, a kind of reverse colonization, providing welfare and thus remittances, while extending to these newcomers and their families not only the full franchise but preferential legal and financial treatment over the native citizenry. The neoliberal experiment, at its core, has been a long self-punishment of the places and peoples that built the modern world.

Real talk. If he’s shown that he can’t be unbiased, he should t be allowed to ref in the Prem at all.

[Mark Goldbridge @markgoldbridge]

Just getting early. Michael Oliver shouldn't be allowed to ref City games

[David Norman @davidgnorman]

This is big news.

[EWTN Vatican @EWTNVatican]

Vatican declares that the titles ‘Co‐Redemptrix’ and ‘Mediatrix’ should no longer be used for Mary, reaffirming Christ alone is Redeemer and clarifying Marian doctrine.

The first book I read on pastoral ministry? MacArthur.

The first book I read on expository preaching? MacArthur.

The first commentary I purchased when I began preaching expositionally? MacArthur.

Forever grateful for his life and ministry.

How much money does @BasedMikeLee (and his friends/donors) stand to gain from his bill? That’s the question.
Here’s another.
How much opportunity does the public lose as a result of this bill? How many memories?
What’s that worth?

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

How much money do you think has been spent on this campaign against my lands bill?

“I want to thank everybody and, in particular, God. I just want to say, We love You, God, and we love our great military. Protect them. God bless the Middle East. God bless Israel. And God bless America.”

Jesus is King.

[Ryan Visconti @ryanvisconti]

Republican values generally align with Christian values, whereas Democrats generally align with demons.

[David Norman @davidgnorman]

Only Jesus.

[David Norman @davidgnorman]

This.

[Josh Howerton @howertonjosh]

It's not that the phrases...

- The gospel is neither right nor left
- Prophetic, not partisan
- Not a red elephant or a blue donkey, but a slain lamb
- Truth, not tribe...

... are necessarily wrong (I've used them!).

It's that as American politics have changed, these phrases have become so misleading as to be very unhelpful because they obscure the clear moral asymmetry between the (current) policies of the parties.

Once upon a time, the two parties basically agreed upon the destination, but disagreed on how to get there. But as the secular progressive social justice movement hijacked the Left, the policies of the two parties are aiming for fundamentally different and diametrically opposed moral visions.

As Jon Tyson has pointed out, secularism attempts a "reverse exorcism" –– it goes throughout society and anywhere it finds God it cries out, "COME OUT, IN HUMANITY'S NAME!" Progressivism is an attempt to "progress past" much of historic Christian morality, which it casts as outdated, repressive, harmful, and to be eradicated.

Our axioms, rhetorical strategy, and phraseology have to find a way to reflect that change.

Christianity isn’t about escaping the body; it’s about redeeming it. Join us tomorrow morning at @ubcsanantonio as we continue our series through the Apostles' Creed.
