People love to say that the Good Samaritan means everyone is our neighbor. That’s not what Jesus was teaching. He wasn’t giving a universal command to treat all people the same. He was showing that our neighbor is the one God puts in our moral proximity. 1/7
.@RevKevDeYoung explains moral proximity as the idea that the closer someone is to us in kinship, community, or responsibility, the greater our obligation to them. You have a duty to your family before strangers. You care for your church before random people online. 2/7
This is biblical. Paul says in 1 Timothy 5:8 that if a man doesn’t provide for his own family, he’s worse than an unbeliever. Scripture assumes that love and duty are ordered. Not all relationships are equal, and not all obligations are the same. 3/7

In WWII, we were unquestionably the good guys. Hitler was evil. He orchestrated the murder of millions of Jews. His evil was so monumental, so unfathomable in scale, that a post-war consensus naturally formed around the fear of ever letting someone like him rise again. 1/10
Cultural elites (of various ethnicities) capitalized on that fear to consolidate and wield power. 2/
The moral clarity of WWII has become a kind of founding myth for the modern West, replacing Christianity as the framework for understanding good and evil. Where the Gospel once shaped our moral imagination, WWII has taken its place, with Hitler as the ultimate symbol of evil. 3/

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
