Well. I haven’t been active here for a while, but I saw mention on another platform that the Block feature is gone. This seems to be accurate, and with it the last shred of value in this place. Well, it was fun for a while and “interesting” for a while longer.

@shroop @PatrickKMiller_ It's a good essay. I do follow Ben Marsh, and I've read bits of his in-depth review - and Basham's threats to seek a restraining order against him for ... reading her book and commenting on it. Jesus and John Wayne is on my TBR - down the road a bit from a Nouwen book.

Next four months are going to be quite a ride. Buckle up, America!

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

@laurenancona That quote is also overlooking the fact that most employers do not actually want someone who points out flaws and inefficiencies because it threatens the egos of people with power. This is a land mine I’ve stepped on more than once, lol

@haymes_joshua The actual Church of Christ doesn’t put on warlike postures. It puts no faith in politicians. Its members walk humbly and are not provoked. This is disappointing to say the least.

In the midst of blasphemous Olympic ceremonies, assassination attempts, & senile heads of state, how should God’s people respond? - Sing Christian war songs. - Pray imprecatory Psalms. - Continuously repent of our sins. - Maintain our joy and peace. - Confront the idols of our day with the Gospel of Christ. -Love and pray for our enemies. - Raise our children to be idol smashers. - Always remember that the gates of Hell will not prevail over the church!

@LukithunderEWC @dudespankydave So you’re only ok with him speaking prophetically into the church if he also fights your political battles? With people you presume not to be Christians? I think that shows a real problem with your understanding of the faith.

@dudespankydave I’m totally cool with him giving very needed in house critiques to evangelicals if he also fights the left with equal or near equal intensity like he used to, but without that a lot of his critiques (which I very much mostly agree with substance wise) fall flat.

@MidlifeMisfit @DelaKram75 Truly, it's not even that. It creates lost, angry men who feel they've been cheated of something (they're right about that part) and then tells them what they're missing (it lies about that part).

@KSPrior It's pretty great to make something "uninhabitable" into a beautiful home.

This month marks 25 years that we have lived in this home, a dwelling that sat empty because it was “uninhabitable” when we stumbled across it. It has been a work-in-progress (and is still in progress), but I think it’s safe to say that it is definitely HOME, and I couldn’t love it more.

@theagrarianist @LauraRbnsn @calvinrobinson But is is your exact words, taken from your first response. Possibly poorly chosen. Outrage at non-Christians acting like non-Christians is absolutely not what Christ or his apostles preached or demonstrated. So what's left is you don't like gays. And?

Has anyone ever written on modern Evangelicalism and thin-skinnedness? I was thinking about this with all the Olympic freaking out and also after getting an email from a guy who felt personally attacked as an evangelical after reading my blogs on The Chosen

I dont concede to the philosophical notion of alternate universes, but if i did, I cant conceive of one in which a worse analysis on the recent events at the ERLC could exist.

@contramordor @philvischer Basic "alpha males" do tend to find strong, outspoken women unlikable. Women raised in that disease likewise. But maybe enough people have had enough of that nastiness to see the strength and courage of a leader. If not, we get Trump. Who you apparently think "likable".

@PlumblineFaith @mika_edmondson Which will come *after* the party of sexism and racism stops with the dog whistles and vaguely-worded innuendo. Police your own house, shut this stuff down every single time it starts, and we'll talk.

We will have achieved true equality as a nation only when we can openly and frankly discuss the character, background and ideology of a black woman running for President, just like we can with any other candidate ... Without being called a sexist or a racist for doing so. #Kamala

/1 Many black women (& men) in majority white church spaces are carefully listening to how their fellow church members speak about VP Kamala Harris Some questions they may ask themselves.. 1) Do these folks value representation even if it doesn’t fit their partisan box?

@drmoore I'll be looking forward to your high-profile endorsement of Kamala Harris. To do otherwise would suggest that (a) This was all about meddling, and/or (b) A Black Woman can't be your president. I assure you she can be mine.

@EHzMinistry @KSPrior The gospels set it out pretty clearly - he befriended "sinners", protected the woman caught in adultery, had perhaps his longest recorded conversation with the woman at the well. Who exactly did he castigate? Whose tables did he overturn?
