Hear me out. What if we took all the time, money, and resources we pour into worshipping Jesus (venues, AV, and production) and put it towards following him instead (love, healing, and justice work)?
The verdict in the #KyleRittenhouse case is a travesty and fails to deliver justice on behalf of those who lost their lives as they peacefully assembled to protest against police brutality and violence.
God has prepared a place for us in the mountains but we’re so tied to our normal in the valley that we never make it to the mountains.
Quit settling for your normal and chase hard after His best. @_MattTerry
We who love Christ’s church have a responsibility to deeply investigate & correct where any abuses of power and compromised witness have legitimacy caused some people to leave the church. I don’t think they are leaving because of Jesus. I think they’re leaving because of us.
When a church leader is informed about the reported abuse of a child, meeting with the alleged perpetrator to “discuss it” should never ever happen. What must happen is to ensure that the child is safe and to report the abuse to the authorities.
I just had a pastor who had previously invited me to speak about #BraveChurch this summer say I was no longer invited to speak about my topic. They are not ready to talk about #racism#sexuality#mentalhealth or other similar topics.
This is why the church is in trouble.
Race does not exist independently of racism. That is its whole function as a social construct. “Is America racist?” is not an opinion. People think racism = hate. Racism is much broader than that. Racism describes the organization of the modern society itself.
I don’t care if you’re on the political left or the right... if you’ve spent decades encouraging us to hate our enemies, I’m not sure you should be described by Christ-followers as a “great man.”
@drmoore takes a stand for the integrity of the faith. (Again.)
"I told my wife in 2017: I am almost all alone here."
Brother, you were never alone. And for the record, you were right.
