If we believe that murderers are beyond redemption, we can rip out half of the Bible because it was written by murderers who were given a second chance.
The Bible would be a lot shorter without grace. #ExecutingGrace
The Bible would be alot shorter without grace.

The Bible would be much shorter without grace.

At the heart of our faith is an executed Savior. He was convicted, tried & found guilty, jailed, shamed, and sentenced to die at the hands of the state. That alone should stop us in our tracks. #ExecutingGrace
The death penalty has survived not in spite of Christians, but because of us. Think about it. The Supreme Court, the Governors, the Presidents. Without the support of Christians, the death penalty would not stand a chance in America. It’s time to change that. #ExecutingGrace
Our federal government just carried out more executions than we have seen in over a century. If you want to learn more about the death penalty, and alternatives to it, check out #ExecutingGrace.
@davidwill1967 @BobbySchuller Thanks for this. Grace is a scandalous thing. If we believe murderers are beyond redemption, we need to rip out half the Bible, because it was written by them. Moses. David. Paul. Sinners saved by grace. The Bible would be a whole lot shorter without grace. #ExecutingGrace
If we believe murderers are beyond redemption...
we can rip out half of the Bible, because it was written by them... Grace gets the last word. #ExecutingGrace
Today - Bill Barr, a professing Catholic, is about to carry out the 2nd execution this week... Lord, have mercy.
Let us give thanks to the Pope & all the faithful Catholics working to end the death penalty.

As a Christian who worships an executed and risen Savior, I find it particularly troubling when our faith is used to justify the death penalty and other forms of violence... the very stuff I'm convinced Jesus came to heal the world of. #ExecutingGrace
As part of our quick talks on mercy, from the beatitudes - for our church, the wife and I are touching on the death penalty, and drawing from @ShaneClaiborne work and book - #executinggrace. I hope Shane is cool with us quoting and crediting him..
@michaelsmartin I wrote #ExecutingGrace dedicated to taking a close look at the Bible, church history, and the dangerous theology that supports the death penalty. I also highly recommend “The Biblical Truth about America’s Death Penalty” by Dale Recinella.
As the US resumes federal executions after 17 years without one... let us remember that most of the world has done away with capital punishment. This is the company that we keep when it comes to government-sanctioned executions: China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, & Iraq.

In my book #ExecutingGrace, I wrote a chapter about Jesus's execution entitled "The Most Famous Execution in History." You can read it for FREE by clicking on the link here or by going to my Facebook page.

As Christians around the world remember the death and resurrection of Jesus, join me on Facebook LIVE as we reflect on "The Most Famous Execution in History" and what it means for us today. Tomorrow at 7pm (ET)!
#HolyWeek #ExecutingGrace
Every time we execute someone, we contradict the redemptive work of Jesus on the cross. We end up imitating the executioner rather than the executed Savior. #ExecutingGrace
85% of executions happen in the Bible Belt.
The Bible Belt is the death belt.
It must grieve Jesus that the death penalty has survived in America, not in spite of Christians, but because of us.
Time to change that.

Christians talk about being pro-life.
But they are the highest gun-owning demographic.
And they're the biggest supporters of the death penalty.
We need a better version of Christianity.
That's why I wrote #ExecutingGrace & #BeatingGuns.
