- "Evangelical" today often means a person who watches Fox News and considers themselves religious. This is actually anti-evangelical.
- Avoid "Christian" public figures who make $ by constantly trashing Christians.
- "As Iran is back in the news, it’s good to consider this encouraging reality: Persecution threatened to wipe out Iran’s tiny church. Instead, the church in Iran has become the fastest growing in the world.” @TGC buff.ly/2EolQa2
- I would be delighted if the SBC (and all evangelical denominations) put a permanent moratorium on politicians speaking. You're being used. #sbc18
- Believing that you need to learn from sisters in the church does not make you a liberal.
- I am starting to think that electing cravenly immoral people to high office could be problematic
- This is your biennial reminder that you should never allow a candidate to use your church service as a campaign stop, regardless of how much you agree with the candidate's views.
- "In our days, to be a true Christian is really to become a scandal.” - George Whitefield (1739)
- Call me naive, but I actually think a church can be rigorously biblical without adhering to stylistic norms adopted in American churches in the 1950s.
- Beware any 'conservative Christian' who focuses more on 'taking back' America than the faithfulness of the church.
- Hi, historian here. Can we stop the ahistorical claims about Baptists "originally" being against creeds/confessions? Creeds and confessions have _always_ been a central part of Baptist life since the 1600s. And yes, their content has often been a matter of debate.
- So this is banning books, right?A bookstore in San Francisco announces it will no longer sell titles by J.K. Rowling, including her popular “Harry Potter” series, due to the author’s anti-transgender views and advocacy. nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-po…
