I just subscribed to DruGroup daviddrury.substack.com/?utm… David always gives practical advice that helps sharpen my leadership ability. Often I make right but intuitive decisions. His latest blog helps me objectify the decision making process.

Just yappin’ about justice doesn’t mean a person and/or his/her church is actually engaged in the work of (measurable results) justice. How easily people assign credibility to words today w/o actually examining the work or fruit. #smh

@MatthewSoerens is keeping up the good work of encouraging American church-attendees to respond to strangers (ie immigrants) like Jesus suggested when he told his disciples the story about a Good Samaritan’s response to a hijacked and beaten foreigner.

ICE wants everyone, regardless of immigration status, to feel safe and unafraid to get the #COVID19vaccine—to protect themselves, their families, and their communities. ICE will NOT conduct immigration enforcement at COVID-19 vaccine sites. Learn more: xsm.link/l1kt4c

On the tragedy of Christians being publicly cruel to each other. Beth Moore adheres to Baptist doctrine, including re gender. But when she “erred” in calling out sex abuse in the church & politics, cruelty somehow became a virtue.

Please understand, that biblical justice (part of the great commandment) is integral to a robust great commission. Little justice, little GC. Some justice, some GC. Much justice, much CG. Without both mandates we have what we see in America. Glorify the Lord.
About racial (and other) unrest today. The result of developing doctrine ( all in Gods image, walk in justice) isolated from walking it out. Denial too long. Time to surrender to God. Admit failure. Live out Isa 58:1-14. He will revive us. He is merciful.
At evangelicalimmigrationtable with @AdamXEstle & @MatthewSoerens. It was great to see so many young leader. I just zipped it and was amazed at their zeal and organization. The country is soon theirs they might as well lead out. Good work all.
Went to a long good board meeting today. Aside from the topic being great a lot of my hero’s were there. Ed Stetzer, Jo Ann Lyons, Tony Evens. New super hero Walter Kim. People we have got to get it together. Jesus is coming.
During an election cycle, I am often asked, “How are you praying?” My first—and best—answer is for "God’s will to be done!" However, bit.ly/3mAm82P
Father/Doctor/Apostle John Perkins said today in his Zoom bible study. That this is the first generation that has made hate a virtue. – at Helotes, TX
Leaders: This crisis will not ever be over. Quit waiting for people to calm down. They are like contractions of something being birthed. The demographic tipping-point is here. Stop, check your fear, let God help you be circumspect, talk less do more J 1:19
