I still believe.

I’ve had countless prayers that weren’t answered the way I hoped. Things withheld that I wanted in life so badly. Seen brokenness that never fixed. But I’ll tell you what I have seen. I’ve seen the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

And I’ll tell you what I did get. I got Jesus. I realize again and again that the reason the scriptures still jump from the page with the life of the Holy Spirit so often when I read is because God saw to it that I’d need them. Require them. That they’d be my food and the living water of the Holy Spirit, my drink.

This was to his good pleasure. I still believe. I believe his nearness is my good and his presence is my ecstatic joy. I have many regrets. Entrusting my life into the scarred hands of Jesus is not one of them.

You can trust him.

Did I understand a single word of it?
I did not.

Was it a vibe?
It was.

The Super Bowl halftime show didn’t feel like a protest. It felt like a homecoming.

Bad Bunny could have gone another route. He could have used the stage to confront. He could have named names. He could have turned the moment into a culture-war headline.

Instead, Benito chose something far more powerful: a celebration of Latino identity as it actually lives and breathes in the United States, and in AMERICA.

lol at this moment from Rose Byrne's Golden Globes speech

"I want to thank my husband, Bobby Cannavale, who couldn't be here because we're getting a bearded dragon and he went to a reptile expo in New Jersey, so thank you, baby"

A coerced Christianity doesn’t produce a Christian society. It produces external conformity with internal resentment.

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

I used to be enamored with politicians who openly used Christian faith language in interviews and speeches.

I’m now far more enamored when politicians openly treat others with Christian kindness.

[Thabiti Anyabwile @ThabitiAnyabwil]

When the books are written about the decline and fall of the American empire, there will be multiple chapters on the role of “Evangelical” Christianity in its destruction. Horrible, sad, yet accurate chapters.

[Raymond Chang @tweetraychang]

Jesus rose from the dead.

Let’s not worship political parties in place of Jesus. Let’s not worship elected officials in place of Jesus.

They didn’t die for you so that you might live.

[Jennifer Erin Valent 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @JenniferEValent]

We need more Christian leaders and professors who are against MAGA to speak up. We can’t stand silently by while this ideology spreads injustice, oppression, deceit, racism, and hatred in the name of Christ. Our house introduced this scourge. We need to hold our own to account.

I have never related to a sentiment more than this one. 👇

[Grant Hartley @TheGrantHartley]

it’s always interesting to feel like a raging liberal among conservative Christian friends, an insufferable fundamentalist among progressive Christian friends, and an alien life form among non-Christian friends

[Raymond Chang @tweetraychang]

The greatest threat to evangelicalism for the last 50+ years has been its unholy marriage with far right wing politics.

Both the left and the right fall short of God’s Kingdom, but the conflation of the right with Christianity is a dangerous syncretism that bears false witness to Christ and His Kingdom.

@newvangelicals 🔥Refining of the highest order is coming for the American church and people like Matt are first in the fire.

[Weather Track US @weathertrackus]

This is not Buffalo, NY, this is Pensacola, FL with near-whiteout conditions and heavy snow.

This is perhaps the closest Pensacola has gotten and will ever get to a Blizzard in this generation... Absolutely incredible.

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

Nothing pisses-off MAGA Christians like the teachings of Jesus.

[Jared Stacy, PhD @jaredstacy]

“Jesus is Lord” is not a confession that leads Christians to resignation and inaction, but towards responsibility, solidarity with the oppressed, and resistance.

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

A little encouragement for Kamala Harris voters in right-wing Christian communities.

“I am proud of you for standing up for something you believe in—something that wasn’t particularly popular, but that assured the rights of someone less fortunate than you.” Fred Rogers

[Breanna Riddell @riddbre]

Regardless of voting, God sees the marginalized and weeps with them. If you’re rejoicing in a victory that wounds, you’ve missed how to walk in love. Politics are not an agenda of heaven. They’re a sick agenda of misguided humanity. Division should break you. Not encourage you.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's charity, mercy, or compassion.
