#culture is a thousand little things done well, every day.

#changeoneletter the Dunning-Kruger effect in one word - "confidunce" #dunningkruger

Just reading all the angst ridden headlines about #Trump's future immunity... Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't that mean that #Biden, right now, can also order the "removal"of his political rival and claim immunity? As well as an insanity defence if needed?

@Jiwan_Ko_Pani @RightReason_NZ "Success" is a relative concept, opinions differ on her.

@RightReason_NZ Maybe not not the front page of a national newspaper, but it's nice for people with ADHD and ASD to know that you can be successful despite having developmental disorders.

Today sees the release of ‘Let There Be Light’ - a documentary exploring the pattern of harmful behaviours experienced under the leadership of Mike Pilavachi, a prominent figure in the UK Church. Our hope is for this film to be something of a care-package for the hurting, at the same time asking how we might become a healthier Church in the future. We know it won’t serve everyone, but we pray it will help some. We tell our story to shine light and help validate other’s experiences. It would have been much easier to say nothing - but a culture of silence up until now has been a significant force. Other voices speaking into this documentary are Dr Diane Langberg (recognised for her 50 years of clinical work with trauma victims), Dr Chi-Chi Obuaya (a respected London Harley Street consultant psychiatrist) and Dr Amy Orr-Ewing (a regarded UK theologian with a passion to advocate for survivors of abuse.) The film also points to some key organisations who provide support in this area and also safeguarding resources for churches. While speaking on a painful subject it’s also important to acknowledge all of the pastors out there faithfully loving those that God has entrusted to them. This is a story Beth and I chose to tell. Our prayer is for the healing of yesterday’s wounds and a brighter, safer Church tomorrow. Let there be Light. youtube.com/watch?v=YVZkgd…

@alanfrow @PWRasmussen I rest my case.

Our culture views moral choices through the lens of 'harm, fairness and freedom.' If it harms nobody, is fair and doesn't rob anyone of freedom, it's okay. But the Bible views moral choices through the lens of authority, loyalty and sanctity. Can you spot the difference?

@alanfrow @NFL @Chiefs @taylorswift13 Money is sacred to many. What was that movie quote :-) ... "Oh Almighty Dollar. Hallowed be thy game. Help us to do thy bidding. Lead us into tempation. etc etc"

My youngest son insists the @NFL had a script today that involved the @Chiefs getting to the Super Bowl so that @taylorswift13 would be in attendance, which meant more viewers and more money. How could he mistrust such a great organization? Is there nothing sacred anymore? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Everyone should watch this in order to understand why those that are in opposition to reality, can never back down.

Serious question for the ‘Ceasefire Now’ crowd. If all parties agreed to a ceasefire, and Hamas were to break it, what would the appropriate response be?

@alanfrow My dear friend. What a beautiful interview, with depths of wisdom, grace and insight that are completely and incredibly refreshing to me.

@ostrachan I think you meant "theodomise"

There is no Christian Prince in Scripture. There is no NT mandate to theonomize the nations. There is no replacement of suffering Christianity with martial Christianity. The nations will not become Christian in this age. There is no call to Christians today to undo the curse.

@alanfrow Like courage, faithfulness is most often demonstrated in the presence of great fear.

"I'm a panicky person about money myself (a most shameful confession) and poverty frightens me more than anything else except large spiders and the tops of cliffs."C.S Lewis.After Lewis died it was discovered that he gave away 2/3 of his income.Fear does not equal faithlessness.

@edstetzer @JohnPiper Lets not confuse a LIFE of reverence and awe, with grabbing a cup of coffee in community. One is worship the other is...well... coffee. Are we straining at gnats and swallowing camels here?

@PastorMark Should a pastor follow Jesus?

Should a pastor ever be controversial?

THE SECOND COMING OF ABUSIVE PASTORS, by Stuart Delony. "Those who have been abused often find that the church seems far more enamored with the abuser’s redemption arc than with survivor healing. It’s not just tone-deaf; it’s sacred backstabbing." patheos.com/blogs/snarkyfa…

Sometimes the issue is you. If you get the same feedback from multiple sources: self-reflect. If everyone you meet is an asshole, chances are you’re the asshole.

@Riley_Gaines_ too fat... too short ... 😬

Mathematical puzzle. Find the missing number.

@RightReason_NZ Do you have any stats on that?

I have a nagging suspicion that 99% of people on social media who say things like "look up the stats" have never, in fact, looked up the stats.
