Before randomly judging the faith of strangers you’ve never met, perhaps check out Luke 22:36.
Also, I’m pretty sure Jesus doesn’t look anything like what everyone thinks He looks like, and yet His appearance is entirely irrelevant to my faith, and should be to anyone else who considers themselves first a child of God. The end.
In #GraceCanceled I dove into racism and Christianity and the fact that identity politics are un-Christian — so the idea that the mob wants to deconstruct the church through identity politics shows how little they know. We’re of the kingdom first.

Exactly what I discussed in #GraceCanceled -- common ground is viewed as betrayal, redemption is denied, and the goal was never reconciliation, only destruction.
The rage mob’s insistence on total annihilation betrays their claimed motive for raging: the mob isn’t interested in compassion or improved relations, they want power. Reconcilation and redemption are refused because of this.
Notice how the mob tried to cancel its fellow leftists whenever they strike a common chord with someone on the right. Tons of examples in the book.

I’m happy to have started a trend towards grace, if that’s what this is, but it’s a bit unnerving to see my original ideas & discussion points pop up as another’s sound bites esp after having to fight to get a political book on grace published.
BTW, I clearly mean “political book *on* grace,” which needed to be clarified because we also have a trend wherein people assign the worst interpretations to things.
This is a key point, and this is what’s wrong with the assumption that it is moral to provide everything through the state: It’s the abandonment of your neighborly stewardship to a too-big-to-care government. I write about this in #GraceCanceled.
The idea that the state is better at caring for people than individual people is a joke. The thousands of vets who died waiting for care from the VA comes to mind. Outsourcing stewardship to the state is lazy …
It isn’t virtuous to offload on the government those you claim to champion. It’s virtuous to meet them where they are voluntarily and fill that need with neighbors …
Truthfully, I fought with myself while writing #GraceCanceled against turning it into an Arya Stark-esque list of garbage people and entities who don’t deserve grace. After time in prayer, I figured it served the ego better than the purpose, though the temptation remains.
I wrote the intro of #GraceCanceled partially through the first draft and it’s evident that I was ready to drop grace, burn it down, & blast a righteously furious and fiery tell-all into the stratosphere. By the final chapter, it’s evident that I’d spent more time in the Word.
