My dear American friends,
We British Christians would get excited when, once a year, Queen Elizabeth would make a mild but sincere reference to the love of Jesus Christ in her Christmas address.
In Charlie Kirks' Memorial service, watched by tens of millions, I just heard:
- Multiple clear presentations of the gospel from men like @robmccoyus and @DrFrankTurek with clear calls to repentance and faith
- Worship songs full of Scripture sung by tens of thousands live and millions at home
- Personal testimonies of lives transformed by the work of Christ and the witness of believers
- Demonstration and explanation of the value of marriage, child-rearing and family
- Calls to Romans 13 for the government to bear the sword for the protection of good and punishment of the wicked
- Declarations of spiritual warfare on the forces of evil and promises to endure no matter the cost
- Calls to be prophets and call the nation to repent
- More Scripture references and Bible readings than I can count
- And a widow publicly forgiving her husband's killer because Christ forgave his killers on the cross.
All of it done before, and by, the most powerful people in your nation and the world.
You guys should be on your knees thanking God for your country. It is a light to the world.
Never stop fighting for it.
This is not about politics. It’s the daily reality that families like mine face every day. I hope we can all come together, support each other, & continue to fight for the autism community as a whole. We’re all on this journey together. But I will not allow for stories like my brother’s to be cast into the shadows because they may be uncomfortable or not fit a political agenda. I told him I would be a light in this world; I will continue to hold a candle through the darkness that seeks out to divide us 🕯️♥️
@jlagnew59@freedomsbride I’m sure she wishes she had the luxury of “walking away”. Unfortunately her abuse within the system, and repeated abuse by those who are called to guard and protect the flock, means she doesn’t really have that ability. Praying for you @freedomsbride & the other survivors.
A couple reasons I'd encourage you to show grace towards voters who don't Vote Like You: our politics are insane, our media/social media eco-system is broken and manipulated, and a lot of people are overwhelmed and anxious. Encourage wise voting, but show grace.
We think voting on Election Day is like hitting the easy button. If enough of us hit the same easy button then all of our wishes come true. We need to stop looking for an easy button and start rolling our sleeves up and loving communities in need. This thread is 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
All next year I will praying and thinking of a plan to help end abortion in the black community. If you or someone you know can help in anyway please dm me! 🙏🏾
@KPatrickAllen@KSPrior Well, social media is a dumpster fire, so I rarely bother w/ it. 😂 IRL, I try to not to waste my “pearls on swine.” I like people around me who maybe don’t always think like me, but they respect me enough to hear what I think, and vice versa. Everybody else is God’s problem.
“In the name of conservatism, we conserve the wrong things.
In the name of evangelism, we evangelize for the wrong gods.
In the name of religion, we harm those entrusted to our care.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
When is a sex scandal not a sex scandal?
When the scandal—and the sex—are the result of absolutely unchecked power.
Let Liberty University be a lesson in unchecked power https://t.co/o63ywPpka4
@KPatrickAllen It’s a quote from one of my favorite Twitter follows, @KSPrior ... and YES!! I’m often left dumbfounded at what masquerades as Christianity today.
“Some people are restless; they cannot live without an enemy. But such people only demonstrate their nature and show who their father is – the devil, the envious one, who delights to sow tares among the wheat.”
- Anthony Burgess
This is sickening and horrifying. We all have blood on our hands when we refuse to acknowledge that we as a nation do not believe that #BlackLivesMatter . His name was #AhmaudArbery
@austinchanning As a white woman I can either be defensive and blame, or I can lean into the discomfort and learn. She chose to blame rather than own, and after 16 years, she hasn’t grown or learned from her faulty mentality.🤦🏻♀️
@boomama I am addicted to this woman’s TikTok! She is part of my quarantine therapy, because just listening to her talk makes me happy. “Like so, like that.” “Cuz that’s yor business”. Not sure I could make my carrots that crispy though.
