@NatePyle79 I am laughing.

[Jeff Chu 朱天慧 @jeffchu]

The schismatics are not the called women or the faithful queers or the ones who stand with them. The schismatics are the ones who say that their presence, their calling, and their holy witness are beyond the appropriate bounds of Christ's Church.

[Jeff Chu 朱天慧 @jeffchu]

Tears of those being cast out of the churches they love > tears of those doing the casting out

Sending love and solidarity to dear siblings in the SBC, CRCNA, and beyond suffering the profound grief of exclusion when the Church should be a beacon of belonging and a place of hope

[Jeff Chu 朱天慧 @jeffchu]

I attended a school that in culture and heritage Christian Reformed. Though they refuse any longer to acknowledge me, I honor them for how they shaped and formed me. What the CRCNA is saying to queer folks and our allies is horrible and unconscionable

[Jeff Chu 朱天慧 @jeffchu]

@NatePyle79 You did a phenomenal job, and we are so grateful.

Happy Asian American/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month to all who celebrate, which is not many Americans at all.

I have really come to dread this month, which reminds me of how unseen, unheard, and undervalued AAPI people are in this country.

[Jeff Chu 朱天慧 @jeffchu]

When asked to name a famous living Asian American, 26% of those surveyed said, "I don't know." The next most popular answer (12%) was Jackie Chan, who isn't American. Third (6%): Bruce Lee, who is dead.

May I and all I love never do anything to deserve a destruction as precise, cutting, thorough, and brutal as this one.

One of the strange things about today's political cleavage around gender rights (and here, intersecting with racism) is how many of the proponents of traditional masculinity do not even follow their ideals. Let's look at how James dresses 🧵

@dodaistewart And then it came back! Shenanigans.

[Jeff Chu 朱天慧 @jeffchu]

@dodaistewart Mine just went away about 30 seconds ago.

Nothing makes a straight, white pastor appreciate my work in the world more than their sudden need for a book endorsement.

EVERYONE SHUT UP MY MOM GOT THE TEN PLAGUES ON HER NAILS FOR PASSOVER

[Jeff Chu 朱天慧 @jeffchu]

To call the perpetrator a “deranged monster” is lazy. It distances us, as if to say she was not one of us and we are not like her. Except that she was formed by this culture of death, which too many of this country’s leaders and citizens perpetuate and even celebrate.

[Jeff Chu 朱天慧 @jeffchu]

Capital punishment is a marker of a culture of death. School shootings are markers of a culture of death.

Doubling down on capital punishment will not solve the uniquely American problem of mass school shootings.

[Rick Scott @SenRickScott]

We need to consider an automatic death penalty for school shooters. Life in prison is not enough for the deranged monsters who go into our schools to kill innocent kids & educators.

Pray for all facing the unimaginable in Nashville. This is horrible & must stop.

[Jeff Chu 朱天慧 @jeffchu]

Only a collective repudiation of our culture of death—including repenting of our obsession with guns, including acknowledging our inclination toward violence—will end this ongoing tragedy.

[Jeff Chu 朱天慧 @jeffchu]

Again, from the website of Blackburn's own congregation (Christ Presbyterian): "We will take responsibility to care for all of God’s creation."

What a different world this could be if Christians simply lived out the mission, vision, and values they already claim to espouse.

[Jeff Chu 朱天慧 @jeffchu]

Blackburn belongs to a PCA church—same denom as the school where today's murders happened. Among her own congregation's stated values: "We will seek to be good neighbors in every place, inside and outside of our homes."

What if being good neighbors means repentance on guns?

[Sen. Marsha Blackburn @MarshaBlackburn]

Chuck & I are heartbroken to hear about the shooting at Covenant School in Nashville.

My office is in contact with federal, state, & local officials, & we stand ready to assist.

Thank you to the first responders working on site. Please join us in prayer for those affected.

[Jeff Chu 朱天慧 @jeffchu]

@tvrasche I'd be glad to, however is helpful. When I was trying to decide whether to attend seminary, I formed a discernment team to help with that process. They were a tremendous gift.

[Jeff Chu 朱天慧 @jeffchu]

@brwneyedamzn You are blessed and highly favored.

[Jeff Chu 朱天慧 @jeffchu]

I confess, and I repent: I did click on the link to that TGC article, and now I am in need of both cleansing and forgiveness.
