The media is shaping you.
That’s all.

When people think of great men of the 20th century, they usually think of men like Churchill, MLK, Gandhi, and JPII.

Here’s my nomination for the greatest man of the 20th century:

[Alex Early @alex_early]

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable. - Brennan Manning

[Jeremy Treat @JeremyTreat5]

“God is rich with love,
and He’s a big spender.”

[Alan Hirsch @alanhirsch]

I’m not so much worried about COVID and its devastations which are bad enough. But I am really worried about the ugly and hateful world that is emerging in its wake.

Time to Jesus-up! all you who claim to be Christians.

“The Spirit is capable of reversing the direction of even the most fatal process. It can pull us back even from the brink.”

GOSPEL CULTURE: "We do not condemn you. Therefore, break free from your sin." (Kindness leading to repentance)

CANCEL CULTURE: "We condemn you totally. Therefore, live in unrecoverable shame and be dead to us." (Contempt leading to heart assassination)

GOSPEL > CANCEL

[Dr. Derwin L. Gray @DerwinLGray]

The Church in America is over-politized and under-gospelized.

[Miroslav Volf @MiroslavVolf]

A revolutionary moral innovation Jesus Christ brought into the world: the command to care not only for people tied to us by some special bond, but for those to whom we have no sturdier relation than the happenstance of their proximity a given time. Its name? The love of neighbor.

[Harper's Magazine @Harpers]

A statement signed by 150 people incl. Bill T. Jones, Wynton Marsalis, Jennifer Finney Boylan, Noam Chomsky, J.K. Rowling, Margaret Atwood, and Salman Rushdie expresses concern over the illiberal trend intensified by our national reckoning.

“The church is never more in danger than when it sees itself simply as the solution-bearer and forgets that every day it too must confess, ‘Lord, have mercy on me a sinner.’” (NT Wright, Evil and the Justice of God, 99)

[David Brooks @DavidBrooks224]

Social Justice activists claim that if you don’t like their tactics then you are not fighting for racial equity or economic justice. But those movements existed long before Social Justice affixed itself to them and tried to change their methods. https://t.co/dDGEZ0XqJE

[Alan Hirsch @alanhirsch]

Every disciple should be engaged in mission (A), listen & respond to God (P), share faith (E) care for others (S) & be able to articulate faith (T). APEST are functions of discipleship even b4 they are individual callings or expressions of leadership.

Richard Rohr on liberals and conservatives.

Oh my.

[Church Curmudgeon @ChrchCurmudgeon]

Turns out that asymptomatic Christianity doesn't spread either.

[David Brooks @DavidBrooks224]

It’s just a condition that many black families send their kids to struggling inner-city schools while white families move to the suburbs and put on black T-shirts every few years to protest racial injustice. https://t.co/2IqwzYur9r

[David Brooks @DavidBrooks224]

I believe in democracy. I believe in a free press. I believe in open debate. I love it when my newspaper prints pieces I disagree with. It causes me to think.
