The Bible clearly teaches the law cannot bring righteousness, which is why the whole Christian Nationalist project seems absurd.
I mean, if you weren’t a Christian, I get the appeal. But a Christian dependent on grace because they recognize what the law can’t do?
I don’t get it.

This is simultaneously petty and dangerously chilling.
Breaking News: President-elect Trump sued The Des Moines Register for a poll that showed him trailing Kamala Harris in Iowa, escalating his threats of retribution.

President-elect Donald J. Trump has said he would use his power to punish people he claims have wronged him. Those goals are now coming into focus.

At this point, I’m less amazed by A Christmas Carol’s visitation of three magical ghosts who can travel in time than the miracle of a rich man actually feeling convicted, and repenting so fully, he becomes a paragon for generosity and community.

“Imagine a pastor hosting a comedy night while debating the merits of venison versus social media etiquette.”
This is so off.
Venison is clearly superior.

The Hunter Biden pardon is another data point confirming many American’s suspicion that politicians are only in it for themselves and that, on the whole, politics don’t work for average folks.

History tells us that social anxiety leads societies to make horrific choices that often involve increased suffering for already marginalized and hurting communities.

On this Christ the King Sunday, let us remember that our king looks nothing like the kings of this world.
Our king had no palace, no worldly possessions, no army, was a prisoner, beaten, and crucified and it is through those acts that he defeated his enemies and secured peace for his kingdom.

The grace and forgiveness of Christianity continue to be scandalous.
It's weird that Looking for Alaska is the second-most banned book in the U.S., and mostly challenged by evangelical Christians, because the novel is about Radical Hope and how forgiveness is available to all people at all times, which are Christian concepts I wrote about because I'm a Christian.

Just learned of something called demisexuality “which is a type of asexuality and is defined as having no sexual attraction without emotional connection” and, call me a prude, but it simply sounds like a healthy sexual ethic.

People who are upset that the people they don’t like (but who they like to antagonize) went to another platform are telling on themselves.
They need someone to antagonize and without that they become irrelevant.

It’s no coincidence that Jesus’s primary metaphors for ministry were not soldiers, hunters, or builders,
But shepherds, farmers, and fisherman.
The humility. The unpredictability. The chaos. The waiting. None of it means we failed.
This is just what faithfulness looks like.
