Everyone who disagrees with me is disingenuous and does so for profit.
The only people with sincerely held beliefs all agree with me.
I care about others but everyone who disagrees with me cares about power.
Everyone who disagrees with me hasn’t Done the Work™️. They need to Listen and Learn™️.
If you’re not against something that I’m against in the EXACT way I’m against it you are actually for it.
The very fact that you disagree with me is evidence that I’m right and that you are a bad person.
Data that reinforces what I believe paints a vivid picture of the reality of the situation. Data that doesn’t is clearly manufactured to hold onto power.
Studies that support my side are meticulously researched and documented by expert scholars. Studies that don’t are conducted by cranks.
Anecdotal evidence that agrees with me is far superior to hard “facts” that don’t.
Everyone fixated on something I see no problem with is a grifter who is just trying to build a platform. Everyone fixated on the problems I care about is a champion for justice.
Everyone who disagrees with me does so because they watch cable news 24/7 (the bad network) and can therefore be dismissed.

This one dedicated to @edstetzer & @philvischer
The tribe I disagree with has turned the leaders on my side into villains so they can play the hero. They are villains and I am heroically warning you about them.
Leaders who make decisions I disagree with are abusive.
Organizations that aren’t run the way I want them to be run are toxic.
Some people who disagree with me have been deceived by evil grifters and deserve my pity. I grieve for those rubes.
Anyone that disagrees with me about how to best love their neighbor doesn't love their neighbor.
Christians that disagree with me have never read their Bible and probably don’t go to church.

This one is dedicated to you, @DavidAFrench
People who disagree with me prove my point. They also demonstrate how weak they are.
The issues that concern me are gospel issues. The issues that concern the people I disagree with are distractions from the gospel.
My arguments are irrefutable.

IR-RE-FU-TA-BLE
Saw this one and had to add it to the thread.
I get amused when people disagree with me.

That's because it reminds me that I'm smarter than them.

I'm really smart... in case that wasn't clear.
Everything you grew up believing about Christianity is a lie. I explain this in my new book which you can purchase for $120. Until you fork over the cash to read it, you should just assume I'm correct.
Everything that concerns you is a boogeyman to distract people from what concerns me.

Congrats, @martyduren! You made the list!
The comedy you find humorous is unfunny, hateful, and reveals your emotional baggage. It is nothing like the brilliant satire that makes me chuckle and speaks truth to power.
The more people disagree with my argument the stronger it becomes.
You only disagree with me because you don’t have any friends of a different ethnicity. I have lots and lots (well, a couple) of them and they all think the same… way I do. #satire
It’s wrong to critique my friend based on what he’s said publicly. Everyone who does that is wicked, immoral, and foolish. The gentleness of Christ does not dwell within them and they can go jump in a lake for all I care. Make it a fiery one.

Abolitionism is rapidly gaining momentum because average pro-life voters believed that the only thing preventing states from abolishing abortion was Roe v. Wade. 1/19
The unspoken expectation of many pro-life voters was that when Roe was overturned, red states would be quick to ensure equal protection for the unborn and treat abortion as murder. 2/19
For 50 years, we've used the words "murder" and "holocaust" to accurately describe the wholesale slaughter of babies in the womb. 3/19

In. Christ. Jesus.

This verse is describing a miracle. Classical liberals think they can recreate this unity without Christ.

A 🧵 on tribalism, the state of nature, and political theology. 1/20
Galatians 3:28 tells us two important truths that are often missed by focusing solely on the description of a people that have transcended physical, ethnic, cultural, and class differences. 2/20
1) Those differences are only transcended in Christ Jesus. If laying aside our differences to unite around our common humanity were possible without Christ, this verse would not be remarkable. It is literally describing a miracle. 3/20

One of the challenges we had to overcome early in the effort to sound the alarm about Critical Race Theory was regular folks who recognized the problems but didn’t know how to articulate their concerns without sounding racist. 1/8
Nationalism has the same problem. Folks are concerned about globalism and haven’t quite figured out how to articulate those concerns without automatically triggering the negative response we’ve been conditioned to have by the postwar liberal consensus. 2/8
It’s pretty wild to see anti-woke leaders who helped articulate the concerns of regular folks about CRT turn on them because of their concerns about globalism. Where is the charitableness you exhibited before? 3/8

Evangelicals have made an idol of evangelism.
🧵 1/16
The whole "idol of ____" is way overplayed in gospel-centered circles. It seems like every week there's a new article on the idol of marriage or family or politics or career. They all convey the same basic idea that being enthusiastic about anything makes it an idol. 2/16
That's not what I mean when I say evangelicals have made an idol of evangelism. I'm not sure you can be too enthusiastic about sharing the gospel. Even if that were possible, most evangelicals hardly fit that description. 3/16

I've struggled with how to respond to the death of Tim Keller. My thoughts on him and his legacy are complicated. 1/13
I first encountered Tim Keller while working for a seeker-sensitive mega church. I had grown frustrated with the shallowness of our "relevant" preaching. Pastor Keller demonstrated that you could be seeker-sensitive without sacrificing doctrinally-rich biblical teaching. 2/13
I've probably listened to more of Tim Keller's sermons than any other single pastor. His teaching was a constant source of nourishment for many years. He was my gateway into reformed theology. His books were extremely influential to me, particularly Counterfeit Gods. 3/13

🧵of quotes from A Failure of Nerve: Leadership in the Age of the Quick Fix by Edwin H. Friedman

a.co/4DsbeVR
“In any type of institution whatsoever, when a self-directed, imaginative, energetic, or creative member is being consistently frustrated and sabotaged rather than encouraged and supported, what will turn out to be true 100 percent of the time,” 1/4
“regardless of whether the disrupters are supervisors, subordinates, or peers, is that the person at the very top of that institution is a peace-monger. By that I mean a highly anxious risk-avoider, someone who is more concerned with good feelings than with progress,” 2/4
