@MarketPalmer_ Competition and economies of scale. And wealthy people actually provide a much needed service in effectively subsidizing companies who make this stuff, by buying things at a premium until scale is reached.

If you were effectively discipled by your supposed betters during the Covid years, never forget this & learn your lesson. That includes remembering all the evangelical leaders who completely failed by falling for & promoting this narrative.

@megbasham As soon as I read this I thought “I miss Rush!”

@ErikReed @megbasham @farmingandJesus Frasier will still stand in 20 years. The writers did a wonderful job of making the show timeless in so many ways.

They of course are completely fine with private property, and would in fact be indignant if theirs was ever in jeopardy.

They just think they should be the arbiters of HOW MUCH private property a person gets to have.

And it’s that sanctimonious self righteousness that is so annoying.

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

You are missing the point. This is not just about Alberry. It is about the Revoice-type theology that he was disseminating that was endorsed by his church and by TGC and those in Keller’s orbit that is dangerous to others in the exact same way it was dangerous to Alberry

As a friend said to me when she learned the news, our theology cannot save us, but it can condemn us. This is why we fight against the world, flesh, and the devil, and that fight includes exposing evil.

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

I continue to believe one of Spirit’s biggest problems is it allowed itself to get stigmatized by the antics of its customers and a lot of people simply preferred to pay more to avoid the fights, drama, etc. All that was a symptom of mismanagement.

I have a lot of respect for Piper, but if I posted Deuteronomy 7:3 – "You shall not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons" – with vague commentary in the middle of a national debate about what it means to be an American, every person currently defending him would rightly assume I was making a political point and they'd be livid.

Piper posted Leviticus 19:34 in the middle of that same debate. His defenders say he's simply quoting Scripture, as if that settles it.

It doesn't.

A tweet is never just its words. The person tweeting brings context the words can't carry. Timing does too. What you conspicuously leave unsaid often says more than what you actually wrote. Everyone in this conversation knows Piper chose that verse and not a verse that could be coded rightwing and the choice is doing political work whether he names it or not.

Pointing to the text alone is special pleading. You can't claim a post is just Scripture when you know perfectly well it isn't.

“Compassionate” progressive policy - on abortion, immigration, or anything else - can be summed up by Proverbs 12:10:“the mercy of the wicked is cruel”

[Michael Clary @dmichaelclary]

Christians, being gullible isn't Christlike, it's sinful. When you fall for weaponized empathy and spread leftist propaganda while calling it 'love,' you're not showing true compassion. You're functioning as agents of chaos and enablers of evil.

“Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t marry the same sex.”

“Don’t like abortion? Don’t get one.”

“Don’t like gender ideology? Then don’t transition.”

This is the lazy, morally bankrupt argument of a culture that’s traded truth for comfort. We act as if every serious issue can be reduced to personal taste, like picking a flavor of ice cream. Like whatever we believe has no implications outside of ourselves.

You wouldn’t say:

“Don’t like child abuse? Don’t abuse your kid.”

“Don’t like racism? Don’t be racist.”

“Don’t like drunk driving? Then don’t do it.”

Why not? Because we instinctively understand that some things are just wrong, and not just for me, not just for you, but for everyone. Because they hurt people. They corrupt innocence. They distort reality. And they destroy the moral foundation we all depend on to live in a functioning society.

The idea that all moral issues are private choices is a lie. These things don’t stay in your bedroom or your clinic or your brain. They seep into schools, media, law, culture, and the next generation.

Everyone pays the price for the lies we choose to accept.

So no, it’s not just “your choice.” It never was.

When one admin imprisons Christians praying outside of buildings in which helpless babies are being murdered

And the other admin arrests people who are shutting down worship services

We don’t have a “both sides” situation in this country

[Dusty Deevers @DustyDeevers]

Pastors and churches, there are solutions to alleviating this kind of threat. If you don’t know what they are, what are you waiting for? Get your men together. Get trained. Be vigilant. Love your neighbor.

[Andrew T. Walker @AndrewTWalker]

Christians need to wise up and recognize the irreconcilable collision course this nation is on with the ideological project of progressivism. What we saw today—ideologically deranged activists intruding into a church, frightening children, and intimidating worshipers—is not a bug; it’s a feature of a diseased worldview fueled by lawlessness and abetted by feckless rulers that must be decisively defeated. Politics is not meant to change hearts—it's meant to order society by promoting the good and putting protesters like this in jail.

The only way out is through.

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

If you are surprised to see such a large volume of professional class leftists acting in psychotic fashion in response to routine immigration enforcement, remember the conduct of this same group during covid: masking babies, terrifying children, boycotting family, shuttering schools, purging dissenters, and signaling their “virtue” to in-group peers with ever more extreme, painful and draconian measures.

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

Every day, for the prior 4 years under the Biden Administration, our country was mass invaded and forcibly occupied by illegal aliens.

Innocent American children were raped, mutilated and murdered.

Entire towns (Springfield, Columbus, Eu Claire) were resettled. Entire neighborhoods were turned into refugee camps. Entire communities were transformed.

Schools and medical systems ravaged.

The treasury raided.

Walkable communities made unlivable.

Family parks made into crime scenes.

Communities scarred, besieged.

These are incomparable crimes against nation and citizen.

Yet, not one day in that long and brutal nightmare did the corrupt press show one tiny microscopic fraction of the outrage they now hurl at the brave HEROES courageously reversing this invasion in the face of unceasing far-left assault.

That is because the corrupt press is a key instrument in the Left’s quest for national dissolution.

[Hon. Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC]

ICE is doing what should be very mundane work of deporting people who aren't allowed to be in the country anymore, by law. Just as they have for years.

However, a bunch of lunatics, encouraged by the media and reckless democrat officials, have decided that basic immigration enforcement is 'literally fascism' and declared war, turning routine enforcement activity into dangerous civil war cosplay. And people are getting hurt because of it.

The federal government has every right to enforce immigration law, in every jurisdiction of the country. The legal fiction of the 'sanctuary city' is completely irrelevant.

Municipalities don't get to set their own immigration policy, and they don't get to obstruct federal law enforcement.

And they certainly don't get to foment and deploy an army of dangerous foot soldiers to physically attack federal agents, for no other reason than a political disagreement over immigration law. It's actually insane that this even needs to be said.

These people are coming dangerously close to committing insurrection, and the consequences of that will be monumental. This is not the fight they want, and everyone with even half a brain should be urging these Democrats to seriously back off immediately.

If Democrats believe our immigration laws are wrong, we have an election coming up in November and they can run on an explicit platform of repealing these laws, ending immigration enforcement, and re-opening the border.

But they won't, because they know that platform is a loser outside of a very few very far-left districts. So they'll continue to pretend that routine immigration enforcement is actually a replay of 1939 Germany, and continue to send mentally unwell liberal women and antifa activists out to risk injury and legal peril in order to win a few news cycles.

Very very sad. And it needs to stop.

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

How DARE this man, who used Romans 13 to defend unlawful practices like vaccine mandates and church shutdowns, now try to say that the requirement of Christians to submit to lawful authorities does NOT apply to illegal immigration.

Seriously, how dare he. No evangelical leader is more of a hypocrite and a blind guide than Russell Moore.
