Excerpt from tomorrow’s sermon: “When a Messiah crowned in thorns & praying His Father’s forgiveness for those crucifying Him becomes compatible w/a political movement defined by selfishness & advocating violence against those who merely hold different political convictions... 1/
“... you are no longer following Jesus. You are following a god remade in your own cultural or political image. You are not submitting your cultural or political identity to the God in whose image you were made. Period.” 2/3
Full sermon and context here: 3/3
Pray for your pastor this morning.

To be honest, I’m blessed w/ a congregation who will hear this sermon w/humble & open hearts, so
I’m genuinely not worried to say all of the above.

Many pastors will risk their livelihood by preaching truth today.

Unlike me, @dpcassidyC3 is saying this from the heart of evangelicalism and the church where CCM was birthed out of. THIS is courage. THIS is speaking truth with love prophetically.

1. The increased burden of sifting fact from fiction is one that only the economically privileged have the bandwidth to keep up with day-to-day, especially w/the SPEED of news generation we've seen in the last 6-10 years. This contributes to polarization & significantly... 2/12
... disadvantages blue collar America (on the left and the right) in an info economy, and is a massive catalyst for populist sentiments that make it exponentially harder for already-weak institutions to lead or swim against the tide (see Yuval Levin's "A Time to Build"). 3/12
