Thank you for the comforting reminder!

Whew! You should be proud of that paper!

“If you share the Christian faith, I hope that wherever you land on any array of political issues, you can remain centered around these core values, even as the political winds will make it increasingly difficult to do so.”

“The greatest threat to the Christian nationalist agenda is in fact Christians themselves. Christians who hold to these core principles, who refuse to endorse hate, mockery, lies, and division.”

“We are entering an unsettled time. As I mention frequently in interviews when the subject comes up, the ideology of Christian nationalism thrives on an us-vs.-them mentality.”

“Yet today, some of the loudest Christian voices are advancing a religious and political agenda that undermines each of these, one that distorts core Christian teachings beyond recognition and weaponizes the faith.”

“These core values—respecting others’ dignity, telling the truth, and acting with humility—are neither inherently conservative nor liberal.”

“A Christianity that looks like a political system, party, man-made ideology, or cultural construct ... is a faith that has chosen Barabbas, not Christ.” 4/4

“The Gospel requires consistency, sacrifice, and effort. It demands we empty ourselves so He may fill us. It asks us to pick up the fatal Cross, and give up our life so we may find eternity, in Christ. The Gospel is a suicide mission.” 3/4

“Whenever culture war is put in the same room as the Gospel ... culture war leaves nothing behind by excreted shreds of the Cross. Culture war always swallows up the Gospel because culture war is far easier than the Gospel.” 2/4

Also, are you here to do one of Kenny’s new tours?

If you’re still here Friday morning, I’ll hook you up with the best breakfast burrito lady, Angel, who sells at the hospital around 8am. Better than Blake’s, IMHO.
