John Blake was one of the very 1st readers of JESUS & JOHN WAYNE & I've long been a fan of his careful reporting. Whether this is "imposter Chr" is a matter of theological debate, but as a historian I can attest that this is indeed American Christianity 1/

Too many Christian political leaders behave more like Trump than like Christ. Christian families are torn apart by MAGA members who behave—in their political lives—more like Trump than like Christ. It’s time to face facts: Trump discipled the church: https://t.co/dUP4NTfkmf
Just bought a new book by @SkyeJethani called "What if Jesus was Serious About the Church?" Curious to read his perspective. Sadly so very many people define the church as a A, B, or C. #church#ecclesia#books
In the Gospels, Jesus asks over 300 questions and only answers 3 of them.
A Christianity that discourages curiosity is a Christianity disconnected from the way of Jesus.
UPDATE: Change of DATE and LOCATION! (It's going to be WAY too hot to be outside.) If you're interested in learning more about Lydia's Table, we hope you'll join us for dessert on Tuesday, July 26th at Eagle Creek instead. Message Lydia's Table for the address!
Christian leaders in your 30s-50s, you’re the ones who’ll raise the next couple of generations of faith. It is crucial—needful—that you disciple them from the start on the values of Jesus. Not political or cultural hybrids. The ways & means of Jesus. Teach people to follow Jesus.
When Christianity crawls into bed with political power, preserving the power it has secured becomes synonymous with preserving its faith and how it defines persecution.
It then ceases to be Christianity altogether and becomes just another political party vying for power.
It’s a backwards bizarro world where I’m supposedly a Marxist for believing in systemic racism but Christians who support the imperialistic aspirations of literally the Communist party of Russia are anti-Marxist.
