Start by uncapitalizing the three words. Like "Contemporary Christian Music" or "The Gospel Coalition" or "Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission," we NEVER have to let someone else's marketing do our thinking for us. /1

Thanks to @scott_m_coley's new book #MinistersOfPropaganda, I'm old enough to remember when @albertmohler told Larry King that Harriet Tubman's unwillingness to submit to enslavement was unbiblical & that our inability to recognize it is because of "popular culture."
Folks hopping on the internet to ask me to do their googling for them *and* to let me know that @albertmohler of @sbts repudiated his #HarrietTubman #PopularCulture has been a learning experience. Join @scott_m_coley in mulling the question of how & why Dr. Mohler felt trapped.
Meanwhile, I'm also learning a lot about who, in my circles, defers to men like @LigonDuncan & @drmoore & @davidafrench & @douglaswils & @JohnPiper & @johnmacarthur on essential questions. It has me shook.

@AnnaCaudill4 @JesterWootton @THEmattlaff I have no doubt that Tim was bullied himself. But "victim" might not be a helpful word for describing someone who, I'm told, tried to talk #PublicServant44 out of legalizing same-sex marriage. And yet, maybe he was doing someone else's bidding. 2/x
.@SkyeJethani, I don’t know if all your replies are visible to you, but this one (from @brownandpinkdot) is especially worth processing. Please share it with @philvischer & @DavidAFrench & your team @HolyPostPodcast before weighing in further. There are real people out here. 1/

77: #ChristianSupremacy has a nasty habit of claiming authority over other people’s experience in the name of values & systems. Once I decree my experience “the Christian value system,” I can play Saruman on all day.
