I don’t think Ivey needed to be dropped by the Bulls, but we do need to better understand 1st Amendment rights & how they work.
Dane Ortlund@daneortlund

Dear @chicagobulls, I am a lifelong fanatical Bulls fan. Been to many games, bought your merch, and supported loyally through ups and downs. Until today. My greatest loyalty is, as is Jaden's, to Jesus Christ and truth. And I am grateful to live in a nation that protects freedom of religion and freedom of speech. Your violation of the first amendment--and, even more problematically, your ideologically selective while culturally amenable cancelling of a man who did nothing more than hold to his convictions--is a tragic capitulation to the spirit of the age. I urge you to do the right thing and publicly apologize to Jaden, acknowledging the error of censoring a man for believing what Scripture says and what Jesus taught. Respect, @JadensIV. -a Chicago pastor

@DennyBurk Is Gafford being weak & not standing up for Christ? I don’t think Ivey should be waived by the Bulls, but I also think we have to find wise & apt ways to communicate in the world we live in today?

Daniel Gafford plays for the Dallas Mavericks. He’s asked what the words on his shirt mean: “Faith isn’t for the weak.” Gafford says he’s not going to answer because he doesn’t want to get kicked off his team like Jaden Ivey. The NBA is sick.

I don’t think this is true at all. But what we have to do is find best ways to communicate in our day. And whatever hills we decide to die on, we do accepting how things play out.
William Wolfe 🇺🇸@WilliamWolfe

According to the Left, Christians can't play in the NBA. Christians can't be counselors. Christians can't be cake bakers. Christians can't run a small business. This is what Democrats want: An America with no Christians in public life. Time to wake up.

@drantbradley It’s like Tom Brokaw said decades ago - Who or what was blamed before the invention of the television?

@drantbradley My kids’ high school issues tablets. And they have a firewall that doesn’t allow access to downloading apps & certain online programs. Perhaps we find healthy ways to integrate. Like we are doing now with AI assisting teachers.

As Palm Sunday ends, I’m reminded that Jesus rode into Jerusalem, gently, on a humble donkey rather than on a horse girded for battle.

The American Conservative
Franklin Graham tells CPAC crowd they must get Trump reelected: "We’ll never get another president like Donald Trump. Never. And that’s why it’s important that we do everything that we can to try to get him reelected."

Christian Nationalism is exploding today. But something got me thinking over the past weeks about whether there might be a progressive Christian Nationalist vision as well. I hope you’ll have a listen. 🎙️🎧🎥📱 🔗 sacredthoughts.substack.com/p/podcast-epis…

Imagine pulling a verse out of context like here. Isaiah 3 is poetic, utilizing typical Hebrew parallelism. Youths OPRESS my people, women RULE OVER them. Oppress & rule over intentionally mirror one another. BAD leadership is described, not that young or female ldrship is bad.
Denny Burk@DennyBurk

“My people—infants are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, your guides mislead you and they have swallowed up the course of your paths.” -Isaiah 3:12

The number one question that drives humans is not “Is it true?” or “Is it good?”, but rather “Am I safe?”

In this episode of my series on World Religions, I begin looking at one of the oldest religions in our world – Hinduism, or what Hindus call Sanātana Dharma. I hope you'll have a listen. 🎙️🎧🎥📱 🔗 sacredthoughts.substack.com/p/podcast-epis…

Today I was able to take some of my World Religions students to the India Cultural Center and Hindu Temple in the Memphis area. It is a vast & beautiful campus. It truly was a great learning encounter. I had to end out the day with some Indian curry for dinner. 🥘

Everyone has an opinion. Wisdom avoids opinion and seeks counsel. Opinion is enforced on you. Godly counsel is invited.
