If your Christianity causes you to mock people with disabilities.
If your Christianity causes you to mock the genuine expressions of emotion and love.
If your Christianity causes you to mock men who cry.
Your Christianity has nothing to do with Jesus.
In the year 125AD, a Greek philosopher named Aristides attempted to explain Christianity to Roman Emperor Hadrian. Here’s how he described these early Christians…
“They love one another. They never fail to help widows. They save orphans from those who would hurt them. If they have something, they give freely to the one who has nothing. If they see an immigrant, they take him into their homes and rejoice over him as a brother.”
I know very few people who would describe us the same way today.
Most folks see Christians primarily as unwavering supporters of a convicted sexual abuser with 91 felony charges, gatekeepers who fight to keep anyone they don’t like out of their churches, and pursuers of political power which is then wielded in ways that harm our most vulnerable neighbors.
We have fallen so far. Lord, have mercy. Something has to change.
The greatest threat to our Christian reputation isn’t secularism, lack of biblical knowledge, or doctrinal awareness.
The greatest threat to our Christian reputation are those who claim to follow Jesus yet sacrifice all integrity and compassion in pursuit of political power.
In 2012, Calvin Johnson set the NFL single season record with 1,964 receiving yards. His QB was Matthew Stafford.
In 2021, Cooper Kupp had the second most receiving yards in a single season in NFL history with 1,947. His QB was - and still is - Matthew Stafford.
Puka Nacua now needs just 147 yards in his final two games to set the record for most receiving yards by a rookie in NFL history. His QB is Matthew Stafford.

Feel like Dave might be underselling it. I'm looking across the field behind the Lions bench (always biggest concentration) and it feels like it's 35+ percent goal line to goal line.
