“Some have said that the tragic events of the past two weeks oblige us to agree with each other more often. That’s wrong. Agreement is a form of mediocrity,” writes @arthurbrooks.

Government has its vital role in society. Likewise, the judicial system. Politics has its place and, as voters, we all, of course, have ours. But as the church—the collective of Jesus followers in this society—our voice would be woefully misplaced among those calling down fire from heaven on people and communities that don’t want Christ. (Or those who don’t want or share our view of Christ!) Jesus turned on his heels and rebuked James and John for this very thing. Yes yes yes, we preach and teach the gospel of Jesus and with passion and strong conviction but as those who have taken on the same attitude that was in Christ Jesus. This is required of us in Philippians 2. I’m not sure anything can be more challenging but it is our responsibility. We’re called to walk in the Spirit, crucified to the flesh.

This doesn’t mean we’re passive. It doesn’t mean we’re always silent. It doesn’t mean we don’t rebuke or reprove. It doesn’t mean we don’t grieve. It doesn’t mean we don’t get angry. But it means we catch ourselves when our anger starts turning into sin. It means we choose to act and speak from an attitude that reflects Jesus. It means we don’t play God.

@carnessv @PeteJHughes Excellent book! Hughes has built on the work of N.T. Wright and sparked our imaginations for what that mysterious reuniting of heaven and earth might look like.

[Susan Williams @susandaywill]

@carnessv Agree! I’ve read nearly every book and listened to sooo many of his sermons. A faithful and humble disciple of Jesus.

[Susan Williams @susandaywill]

@carnessv A few years ago, I read Oden’s autobiography in which he expounded on that statement. Very good read.

@BethMooreLPM is one of the main reasons I stay on Twitter. She handles a lot of flak with incredible grace. IYKYK

Some of y’all might as well know you won’t be getting any grape jelly from me for Christmas. And don’t whine to me if you’re crushed about it either.

@EricPMusselman @RazorbackMBB Happy to do our part, Coach. Love your energy and leadership!

@GingerSnapKid Many of those already listed. Also, I thought a “weenie dog” was a “doxen” and that Daschund was a whole other breed and pronounced “dash hound.” Didn’t learn the truth till college.

@_meekjs @kacoppola There are no “bingo cards” large enough for all the strange stuff happening these days.

[Susan Williams @susandaywill]

@Tish_H_Warren Great thread. Grace. Could also apply to other matters on which faithful Christians disagree.

@CNNPolitics 🤦‍♀️

@BethMooreLPM Are you also telling us you’ve not seen Hamilton???
This must be remedied before WandaVision.
