Me looking for critiques of Voddie’s new book that don’t impugn his motives.

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
