There was a time when Christians were formed before they were informed. The Church catechized her people slowly, shaping them by Scripture, the creeds, and the long memory of the saints before ever asking them to weigh in on the affairs of the age. Much of what passes for Christian conviction today skipped that formation entirely. It arrived fully assembled from a media feed, and it asks nothing of the soul that received it.

[Mark Chironna @markchironna]

We should be honest about why fear has become the dominant grammar of so much Christian speech. The platforms that now form more believers than any pulpit are built to reward certainty, outrage, and alarm, because those are the emotions that hold attention and sell. Fear has always been more profitable than formation. A people discipled by an algorithm will inherit the algorithm’s appetites, and they will learn to call those appetites faith.

“The commandments of scripture are not meant to be a set of discrete obligations that we weigh against one another. They are the shape and texture of what love looks like when it is lived out in the concrete circumstances of human life.” —Stephen White

“When Jesus calls us to love and pray for those who persecute us, like in Matthew 5:44, he's not commanding us to pray for our enemies' success. Loving them means wanting the best for them, which means a life-transforming encounter with Jesus.” https://t.co/rSdAhdmw2Q

@VictoriaZeev @WhiteHouse Blame those who made the mess, not the ones cleaning it up.

President Donald J. Trump signs a proclamation declaring February 22, 2026, as National Angel Family Day. 💙

We remember the American lives stolen from us, stand with Angel Families, and recommit to the largest mass-deportation effort in our nation's history.
