#ShrinkTheDivide was a truly historic racial reconciliation event here in Mobile, Alabama. I’m so thankful for the ongoing work of @EdLitton and all who work to bring healing in our city. I’m also thankful for @JohnMPerkins and @drmoore and those who spoke at the event in Mobile. Image
The event was held at the Mobile Civic Theater, which appeared to be full. I wasn’t one of the leaders; just honored to be in attendance. The speakers were outstanding; the time of worship was very deep. Lots of love in the room. We all prayed together. What a night! Image

Two of the leaders who served with me in Opportunity for Unity were part of the leadership for this event: Pastor Joe Johnson and Pastor Jerry Jenkins.

As a follower of Jesus Christ, a Christian minister for more than 40 years, son of a pastor, and grandson of a pastor, let me say clearly: Christian Nationalism is a heresy and not compatible with the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.

#Jesus #Christian #ChristianNationalism #WWJD Image
2. There was a time in my life when I was on a wrong path and embraced many ideas associated with Christian Nationalism. I’m so thankful for God’s grace to correct me and lead me to repentance. I’m still learning, still adjusting. But the past 10-15 years have opened my eyes.
3. I love America and am grateful for our nation. The Lord has blessed us in many ways. But I also recognize that like any other nation, we have significant areas of sin, going all the way back to our founding. The Church should be modeling humility and repentance, seeking to ->

I’m a bit frustrated with people on the Left and also the Trumpist crowd regarding their reactions to today’s excellent #BretBaier interview on @FoxNews with Rep #LizCheney. So, a quick 🧵 to remind Americans about the proper role of journalism.

@BretBaier @Liz_Cheney Image
2. A journalist — and Bret is a very good one — is tasked with gathering information via questioning and fact-finding. Some questions may be challenging. But in asking challenging, but fair, good faith questions, the journalist is serving the truth, the public, and also the ->
3. … interviewee. The interviewee has the opportunity to answer questions many in the public want to know. A good journalist asks tough, but fair questions, and then allows the interviewee to answer them. Then, if there is fact-checking that must be done, the journalist can ->

Those seriously advocating for #NationalDivorce have little understanding of history, civics, or demographics. It is a dangerous fantasy that would be devastating to every American, except for the grifters who profit from keeping us divided, as well as our foreign enemies.

#USA

#Ukraine and #Poland 🧵

1. I just got off the phone with a Pastor our ministry serves in Poland. He told me of one of their churches in Ukraine is serving more than 200 refugees each day with food, shelter, supplies. They even have a doctor in the church caring for people.

-> ImageImage
2. Many of these Ukrainian refugees are women and children; in that area, they do not yet want to leave Ukraine, but to stay and help.

Meanwhile, he said Poland is bearing up well at the moment, but in 2-3 weeks he doesn’t know how the country will be able to adequately care ->
3. … for the huge influx of Ukrainian refugees; nearly 1 million so far. He said every church in his area of #Poland is opened to care for Ukrainians and thousands of families are personally taking in strangers in need. It’s amazing and heartbreaking. This is the love of #Jesus. Image

While we were justifiably concerned that “pirates” might seize control of SBC, they had already seized control of NRB. If you see how Salem Media dictates NRB content; understand how much of Salem’s content is at odds with the Gospel; you see why they canceled Dan Darling.
2. Do a deep dive into the Salem empire. It’s seemingly a hodgepodge of big name Trumpist apologists, Christian Nationalists, AltRight, conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers, fascist-friendly goons, trolls, and pseudo-Christian religionists. Massive radio, TV, web presence.
3. Just a few more from Salem Media, the group that also seems to exercise enormous control over NRB.
