I do not expect politicians to act like pastors. But I do expect pastors to act like pastors, and not like politicians.

Ok. I can’t believe this just happened. My kid is sitting in a beach chair with his hand casually in the sand, & suddenly goes “oh my god look.” He pulls up a girls wedding band. It says “April 16, 2016 I love you.” This was gone FOREVER until now. Seagrove, Fla…Find this lady!

Man, this is beautiful. A life adorning the gospel. Listen to what @StevenBartlett—host of one of the world’s most popular podcasts—says to Christian apologist John Lennox.

A politician should not have to have a death sentence for voters to reward them for saying true things plainly.

Astronaut Victor Glover reflects on Easter and the beauty of Creation from space. “We have this beautiful place that we get to exist together…As we go into Easter Sunday…[I see] this as an opportunity to think about where are, who we are and that we’re all the same thing.”

As I wrote in The Spirit of Our Politics, "When it comes to politics today, Christianity is viewed either as useless or as something to be used." But Christianity is not whatever you want to make it to be.

Having a platform without pastoral guidance, local church community, peer sharpening, biblical literacy & theological & soul/character accountability leads individualistic idolatry that panders for personal affirmation, opportunistic selfish ambition and narrative control. James 3:13-18

My hot take is that Xianity doesn't cleanly align with either Repubs or Dems, and that it's bad if it's politically co-opted by either, say, Hegseth or Talarico. This doesn't mean we shouldn't vote. Nor that sides are equal. But please stop co-opting Jesus for political gain.

Last night I saw an exchange on here in which a pastor (whom I respect) asked for 3-5 examples of things the government is doing that is worse than protestors interrupting worship. Wanted to take a moment to respond to that for a wider audience for a couple of reasons. (1/16)
“God grant that we will be so maladjusted that we will be able to go out and change our world and our civilization.” —MLK 1967 Christmas Sermon on Peace

The Measure of a True Christian is Love “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. “The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” False Christians justify hate. But Christ himself is pure love.

The Keller criticism wave isn’t theological—it’s cultural. A symptom of America’s latest partisan religion: culture war disguised as evangelicalism.
