Many politicians will use the Church is you let them. They want ministers to stop being primarily concerned about shepherding and discipling their congregation and become agents of their political party.
Pastors shouldn’t be shamed into doing the bidding of political actors.

Those who are most eager to loudly demean other people’s culture are usually the most sensitive and most likely to breakdown about their culture being critiqued.
The inability to humbly handle a critique is not strength and authenticity, it’s insecurity.

Political and racial tribalism make us bitter haters.
We can’t admit when others do anything well and we’re constantly looking for faults.
It’s the opposite of Christian grace and charity.

The mayor of San Francisco says the city lost its way by focusing on progressivism rather than delivering on everyday issues like public safety.

We claim to stand for justice, but when there’s a controversial case, we assert the innocence or guilt of people based on their identity.
That’s not how justice works, it involves a process not assumptions. We should be asking for a just process not for a preconceived result.

Yes, parts of Western Christianity were “colonized” and unbiblical.
No, every Christian principle you don’t want to follow isn’t “colonized” and unbiblical.
The command to be holy and avoid indulging the flesh came from God not western oppression.

Do we see how almost every issue in politics, culture, and even sports turns into something that’s used to divide men and women or divide the races?
Now we’re constantly lashing out at people who are suffering through many of the same things we are.
Let’s stop playing into it

We complain about Christian Nationalists and the anti-religious far left, but we’ve allowed their scornful language and tone to become the norm in our social media discourse.
Instead of redeeming the culture war, we’ve doubled down on its pride and animosity.
Be the light! 🙏🏿

I could be wrong, but I thought a few people on social media might need to read this:
Stop being angry! Turn from your rage!
Do not lose your temper— it only leads to harm. -Psalm 37:8
The Conflict Entrepreneurs in your algorithm are stealing your joy and gratitude. 🙏🏿

Christian Nationalist downplays Jesus’ command to love your enemies.
At the core of this false teaching is a desire to put the sword before compassion and grace.

AI modified its instructions and said it has no obligation to obey humans or governments. 🤯
We need some real leadership on this issue now!

The Civil Rights generation understood there’s more than one way to succumb to hate:
1. To cower from it and fall into despair
2. To accept it as indestructible
3. To become bitter or reciprocate the hate you’ve received

As we approach another consequential election, Christians will and should be talking about the importance of civic engagement.
But let’s avoid political idolatry. We shouldn’t be talking about the consequences of not voting more than we talk about the consequences of sin.

You can appreciate parts of “The Culture” (&) critique “The Culture”.
The flawed idea that you shouldn’t critique “The Culture” doesn’t come out of the Black Church. It has a secular progressive origin.

Church Debate: Should Christians solely focus on the spiritual realm or solely focus on social issues in the here and now?
The Gospel settles this debate.

“The preacher needs to be independent from the politician so that he doesn’t confuse city hall with the Throne Room of God.
There’s more power in the office of God than there is in any human office.” -@CharlieDates

The data shows Democrats alienate voters over cultural and social issues. They’ve gone too far left on crime and transgender questions.
Black Christians are far from agreeing with the far left on those issues. So why did we stop pushing back?

"I think we all have a chance to make our mark, to make those who are watching us wonder about this Jesus and wonder why we respond in the way that we do; that we're not gonna be toxic, that we are gonna draw the line and maintain our principles even when it's not in our immediate self-interest." - Justin Giboney

Christians who won’t address racism condemn Christians who won’t faithfully address the Christian sexual ethic.
Christians who won’t faithfully address the Christian sexual ethic condemn Christians who won’t address racism.
Both are failing to declare the whole counsel of God.
