@toddkalas as a kid I remember watching Willie Stargell and being afraid when he came up to bat against the Astros. Can you comment on his impact? #askthebooth
"The glory which is built upon a lie soon becomes a most unpleasant incumbrance ... How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!"

@Gacugunawamaina @DianeLangberg Matthew 4:1-11. Use of the word to crush and destroy has always been a tactic of the enemy. People still quote scripture to justify and enable evil. The Word can be wrongly handled (2 Timothy 2:15).
@laurchas22 I don’t think his aim is so much at disingenuous tactics but at the algorithm - the patterns of this world that are at the heart of the very abuse you’re calling out, and that I’ve endured myself. As someone once said, hope cherishes no illusions, nor does it yield to cynicism.
@timkellernyc@williamwolfe Michael, I remember this article that spells things out. The glorious impact of your dad’s intellect, compassion and dedication to the gospel will far outlast his critics. https://t.co/uRus4KAXfJ
@StefonNapier @pastherandie Sorry, I did not mean to insinuate that you did. Just referencing the comment in the original post. To the adulterous woman Jesus does say to leave her life if sin, and in the glorious context that he does not condemn her.

@rachelswilhelm The loss is real. So sorry. I found this book helpful: “Redeeming Power:
Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church” by
Diane Langberg.
@Isaiah45_7@TimDalrymple_@RickWarren You didn’t cite any scripture in your critique of him, or seem to regard him in love (Matthew 7:5; Eph. 4:15, 29; Philippians 2:1-11).
@colbywilkins If only your story was rare. This book is a great resource…

@laurchas22 “The body of Christ is called to be a sacred place for the vulnerable. We have often chosen to be a safe place for the powerful and have deceived ourselves into believing that God would call that good.” - Diane Langberg
