My new EP, Religion & Politics, is out today! Rethinking how Christians approach topics like Christian Nationalism, abortion, the death penalty, war, and more.

@WilliamWolfe The Kingdom of God isn’t interested in merging with the United States. You can only pick one Kingdom to be part of, and too many Americans (and Southern Baptists) are choosing America.
Re: the LDS controversy: it is not a Christian’s job to decide who is and who isn’t a Christian. It’s okay to disagree on beliefs. It’s okay not to allow certain beliefs from being taught in your church. But if someone claims Christ we let Jesus judge their beliefs and works.
As such, we should resist Christian nationalism as giving a Christian facade to nakedly political, ethnocentric and impious ventures.” - N.T. Wright 3/3
“Christian nationalism is impoverished as it seeks a kingdom without a cross. It pursues a victory without mercy. It acclaims God's love of power rather than the power of God's love. We must remember that Jesus refused those who wanted to 'make him king' by force just as much 1/3
as he refused to become king by calling upon ‘twelve legions of angels’. Jesus needs no army, arms or armoured cavalry to bring about the kingdom of God. 2/3
@CoryBooker I wrote a song called All My Life about how absurd it is that Christians - the ones who say they deserve death but God gives them grace instead - are the ones who push for the death penalty.

To anyone still gullible enough to fall for scummy media hoaxes: Trump said warmongering neocons love sending your kids to die for wars they would never fight themselves. Liz Cheney is Kamala’s top advisor. Liz wants to invade the whole Middle East. Kamala = WWIII. Trump = Peace.
@EstherBradd4 @LauraCh63794122@sobrien7735@BethMooreLPM I can’t believe you’re ending the game after “Biden pardoned his son,”
I haven’t even gotten to the private jet, real estate deals for political favors, “RFK can be the health secretary if he drops out and endorses me” or pardons for money.
@EstherBradd4 @sobrien7735@BethMooreLPM But we can continue: Trump pardoned all of the J6 people, including those who attacked police officers. He did this simply because they committed their crimes on his behalf. Your turn!
@EstherBradd4 @sobrien7735@BethMooreLPM Many people do, because he was convicted of a crime almost nobody is charged with. Also his blanket pardon was just to shield him from Trump appointees who promised to continue to go after him, despite years of GOP attempts to find something he did wrong.
@KimRHarrison@sobrien7735@BethMooreLPM First, that’s Luke 16.
Secondly, this parable is about stewardship - using what we have to set us up in the eternal kingdom of God, rather than using it for gain here and now.
Did you think it meant that Jesus wants us to be unrighteous?
@EstherBradd4 @sobrien7735@BethMooreLPM Donald Trump reversed decades of foreign policy by giving the UAE access to advanced AI chips. This week, it was revealed his family was given $187M from a UAE investment firm four days before his inauguration. Your turn!
