This has me thinking about how Jesus told the church to take care of widows. Obviously it’s not a direct correlation of Scripture here because the context is the Church as a whole — but definitely a principle to draw out here. How we treat Erika Kirk matters from a faith perspective.

If your conscience isn’t pricked by the mockery of a widow - and you find yourself enjoying it, laughing, reveling in it - you are in the darkest possible place spiritually. You’ve been given over.

6 of 8 @MLB games are blacked out on @MLBTV today in my city — Las Vegas — a city without a ballpark within a 4 hour drive. That is what you call BROKEN. Current blackout restrictions may make more money, but they hurt the game.

Personally sorry to hear about this. Honestly ridiculous. Not sure why these guys think it necessary to comment on this and make it something you obviously never meant it to be. The testimony is a BEAUTIFUL picture of Jesus’s saving grace AND the POWER He is still working out in peoples lives. I say well done sir.

Multiple times, @michaeljknowles said I called my wife a whore in my post (as did @benshapiro), even though I wrote "My wife was formerly promiscuous." To my surprise, upon checking the original video, the top comments are now overwhelmingly condemning their response to our story of God's redemption (screenshot below). Michael is now doubling-down on it on X by saying that me writing that she was formerly promiscuous is the same as calling her a whore (pic attached). Here's the three primary issues with them saying I called my wife a whore, and why Michael's argument is wrong. 1. It isn't true. I never used the word "whore," so he shouldn't be telling people I called my wife this. 2. We instinctively know that "she was formerly promiscuous" carries with it much more grace than "she's a whore," because "promiscuous" is an adjective describing her past, whereas "whore" is a degrading noun, a slur used to speak harshly of women. They're similar words, but different in meaning and intent. They are not the same. 3. Crucially, they spoke in the present tense: "He called her a whore" (implying this is a present-tense sin issue, something she still is). I spoke in the past tense: "My wife was formerly promiscuous." This tense difference matters immensely, especially when people greatly struggle to separate one's life before Christ from their life after Christ. The world can't fathom that such change can happen. But the Bible is clear: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (1 Cor. 5:17). Or consider Galatians 2:20: "I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." That old Ashley is dead. It's because of these truths that my wife and I choose to boldly, confidently, and without giving loads of explicit details, share the sins that stained us before Christ with others (for I am indeed a great sinner and struggle in many ways, too). Our story isn't shared frequently, but at times and when fitting, so that other believers can be encouraged, other sinners can be given hope of redemption and forgiveness, and the lost can hear the good news of the gospel: that though all are headed for Hell for their sins (1 Cor. 6:9-10), anyone who repents and places their trust in the resurrected Christ will be saved (John 3:16, 18). Regardless of how much you've sinned, you can't out-sin the mercy of God. You can be washed clean, your shame and guilt removed, and you can have a brand-new identity in Jesus Christ (Titus 3:5-6). And we’re living proof of this! I have no ill will against Michael, Ben, @andrewklavan, or anyone else for their remarks and mocking, nor do I demand an apology. I forgive them. My greatest desire for them and anyone who's following this story, as well as God's, is for them to "be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (1 Tim. 2:4).

@howertonjosh I wish I could like this one more than once. I’ve seen both of these topics taken too far here recently, without Biblical basis but with twisting. Grateful for all the wisdom in this post.

Rounding up two things from X in the last month: A) You’ve jumped the shark and you’re more “based” than you are Biblical if you’re subtly implying interracial marriage is bad. There are 0 Bible verses that say that. There are a HOST that demonstrate the opposite: That there are fundamentally two “races” — “in Adam” and “in Christ” and the marriage command is for people in Christ to marry someone else who’s in Christ. B) Sharing your testimony, even when saved from salacious sin, is good actually and makes you a trophy of grace to the glory of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul was VERY publicly and frequently open about the sin he was saved from, and his was a LOT worse than promiscuity (Acts 29:9-11, Galatians 1:13, 1 Tim 1:13, 1 Cor 15:9, Phil 3:6)

@conservmillen Very well said. This is a misrepresentation of the Scripture — and of course, it seems purposeful for political gain. God won’t be mocked. Unfortunately for James. Ironically, the prayer he spun is the prayer he needs.

James is a master at purposely misrepresenting someone to garner sympathy. He did the same thing with the Colbert interview. Received millions in donations based on the lie that Trump was “censoring” him. Now, he pretends not to understand that a pastor saying he hopes James is “crucified” is a Christian way to hope for a person’s salvation. James is not saved, so the most loving thing we can pray and hope for is that he does experience the death to self Christ calls us to

Jesus loves. Christian Nationalism kills. You may pray for my death, Pastor, but I still love you. I love you more than you could ever hate me.

This is honestly ridiculous — you are at best completely unaware of the the meaning of Galatians 2:20 or at worst, knowingly taking the political opportunity to spin this pastors statement like he is truly praying for you death. Trying to think above the line, but your history of using Christianity for political gain won’t allow me to be optimistic in favor of wisdom. Either way, God won’t be mocked.
