The biggest danger to a religion is not its heretics but it’s Pharisees.
Heretics always self-eliminate. Pharisees go deep & hold on hard
- angry broken people always looking for a fight not caring about the pain & suffering they cause
All the while justifying what they do for the sake of God playing on the fears & hatred others

Young pastor - spend your time praying, serving, loving, engaging with every kind of person there is for the sake of the Gospel - not fighting for power or control or being used in denominational politics - it will the the waste of your life
God placed something in you when he called you - you are going to have to listen & think like never before - the world is complex & the church compromised - God will use you powerfully if you listen to HIM!
The dream that God put in your heart will not be fulfilled by any organization but only by the Holy Spirit who fills us with the love of Jesus

I love the term soft power - it appeals to the heart & mind out of a moral conviction of right & wrong in a shared humanity calling us to our higher selves & noble aspirations
The Kingdom of God prevails by soft power
Christians who live by soft power in the public square, guided by the Holy Spirit, will do more to bring peace & heal brokenness than all the combined forces of hard power - the problem is you gotta be ready to climb up on that cross #JustLikeJesus

My son for Christmas got me an 1841 track of a church in Newbury, Mass not just condemning slavery but excommunicating pastors & members of other churches who practiced & supported it - how might 1861 been different had they repented? Image
Roger Williams challenged slavery, stealing Indian lands, & promoted religious freedom for all not just Puritans - he lost the argument but his language won in our founding documents that would ultimately undo slavery Image
From the Pilgrims, to the colonies, to early America from Winthrop to Edwards & Whitfield it was challenged & condemned as sin - the idea that it was everyone & the way culture was is wrong - it was seen as one of those things that should not be brought to America & left behind Image

I have known ⁦@pastordmack⁩ since we both started seminary together, started our churches together & I love him deeply & support him - but it’s not just him I support but every African American pastor & church in the SBC - U cannot deny what he wrote dwightmckissic.wordpress.com/2020/12/13/fro…
I honestly do not know enough about CRT to critique but Res9 makes clear that Scripture trumps it - this it is NOT worth all of this - as the convention started because of slavery we only validate the critique of a watching lost word that we are racist - what does that do to us
What does it do to the Gospel we preach? Acts 6 they went overboard to accommodate a group that was offended because of an ethnic difference

I love my country far more than I love a political party - I’m heartbroken seeing our country ripped apart. This is not right nor who we are nor what our ancestors gave their lives for.
Guard your tongue carefully - what you post & repost on social media - you don’t want to be a part of ripping our country apart.
My biggest prayer is for our democracy to be strong - what difference does it make who wins if we destroy ourselves & fuel hatred towards others

Some people think because I’m such good friends with so many non-Xns I will leave my faith or become a universalist - never - Jesus is more precious to me than ever & his message more important
Such a strange Christianity in America today - everyone talks about evangelism, witnessing, yet most have few if any non-xn friends
If your faith can’t handle loving & hanging out with lost people - it’s not the faith of a Jesus
