We don’t glorify God when we say that we’re Christians in our bio and then post sinful things; in fact, we bring reproach to Christianity when we do that.
Better to stop telling people we’re Christians altogether unless we have the basic holiness that should accompany it.
As singing, and humming, and whistling are often spontaneous expressions of joy, so the proclamation of the gospel should be the spontaneous expression of a heart that is rapturously grateful for God’s redeeming love.
It grieves me when a Christian can’t love on a homosexual, or a transgender person, or any other blatant sinner because of an unbiblical form of "godly" hatred. True godly hatred of sin is always tempered by compassion and love for the lost.
A biblical Christian doesn't condemn and rebuke this lost world as they're headed for Hell...
A biblical Christian weeps for each individual and does all he can to persuade them to Christ before they perish.
This is so insanely evil. Please, woke Christians, do go on about how Critical Race Theory is just a bogeyman made up by the right that doesn’t pose any real threat. Tell me again about how Christian Nationalism is our biggest threat.
Something I’ve learned this year is that discipleship requires wisdom and tact. It’s not just enough to know truth and declare it—that’s only half the battle. Knowing the “how” and the “when” to speak to people is crucial to discipleship.
Many, including myself at times, are able to carefully craft theologically true responses that are just monologues. But will we dialogue with people? Will we work through hard topics with them? Will we show them we care about them as individuals?
Knowledge is knowing what to say; discernment is knowing when to say it; wisdom is carefully thinking through tone and word choice, knowing that these will affect how what's spoken is received.
My biggest concern isn't what denomination of Christianity you associate with. My biggest concerns are: Are you trusting in Christ alone for your salvation? Is holiness, repentance, and real faith a priority in your life? Are you in prayer and the Word? Is Jesus your focus?
Theology is wonderfully dangerous.
Wonderful, because when studied by mature believers, it results in holiness, humility, and more intimate knowledge of God.
Dangerous, because when put in immature believers' hands, it results in pride and chronic sternness.
