@amcgee85 She was her usual helpful, cheerful joke-cracking self. Would have been nice to see you, too.

Today I preached a message on the Church and Culture Wars. These are a few signs we are caught in it’s grip.

[Rick Power @rdpower55]

@BRWLTZ Grateful for your voice.

[Rick Power @rdpower55]

@BRWLTZ Agreed. But too few voices from the center. The center is where we can best hear from the edges. The center is where we find space for conversation. The center is a lonely place these days.

[Rick Power @rdpower55]

@dale_schaeffer You have the gift of discernment.

[Rick Power @rdpower55]

@jmarkh2006 Impressive. Did he use toilet paper or a rock?

[Rick Power @rdpower55]

@LivMetcalf You did good work.

[Rick Power @rdpower55]

@LivMetcalf Press on, Sister. We’re so grateful to have you.

RT if you oppose Republican voter suppression.

@gwetmore3 Ability to explain the Trinity.

Retweet if you think @JoeBiden should award Officer Eugene Goodman the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Things we thought were solid and secure: the U.S. Capitol, democracy, Christian unity. But we were wrong. Extreme vigilance required.

[Rick Power @rdpower55]

@pastorrobprince @dale_schaeffer How about the “Don’t lift that, honey, let your daughter do it” Club?

[Rick Power @rdpower55]

@LivMetcalf Don’t get me started.

@michaelrpalmer “Marxist,” “communist,” “socialist.” Words used as conversation stoppers, scarlet letters and incendiary devices. Such is the new standard of our public discourse these days.

Thank you, SCOTUS, for showing wisdom and courage in your election-related decisions. #SCOTUS

[Rick Power @rdpower55]

“Truth decay.” Peter Wehner’s analysis of the decline of truth in our era is spot on. If basic science is affirmed/denied according to political persuasion, how can we ever come together on the higher level truths that undergird democracy & civil society? https://t.co/BgXrai6G8l

[Rick Power @rdpower55]

@HHSBaller H, Ryan. Yes, that was shameful. But, of course, it wasn't all Democrats, just like not all Republicans are questioning the legitimacy of Biden's election. Trump supporters should be calling for a peaceful & dignified transfer of power. It's in everyone's best interest.

[Rick Power @rdpower55]

In 2016, Trump was a sore winner, claiming massive voter fraud. How can we expect him to be a gracious loser? That speech was excruciating.
