We have a growing threat of domestic terrorism from individuals and militias who are misinformed, brainwashed, and incited by the former POTUS and his enablers in politics, media, and even some clergy. The 🧵 below tracks with videos and statements I’ve observed in recent years.
My response to @TheValuesVoter, who expresses similar concerns. It doesn’t take thousands of radicals to create a crisis. Nineteen terrorists on 9/11 caused thousands of immediate deaths (perhaps more than a million afterwards) and trillions of 💰 in ongoing costs.
It took just a few far right radical extremists to destroy the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. One small cell. We have hundreds or more such cells in America today. They are being incited by Trump and allies.

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
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
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 ->

#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
Photo above from Shrink the Divide 2018: with my longtime friends Bishop David Richey, Barry McLean, and Pastor Margie Richey.

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.

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
2. Like it or not, California needs Florida; Texas needs New York; Michigan needs Georgia; Arizona needs Pennsylvania…and visa versa in every case. Every state has Conservative and Liberal citizens from different ethnic and religious backgrounds. A #NationalDivorce would … ->
3. … not be a neat geographical divide, but a multi-faceted fragmentation with no straight lines or easy alliances. We are stronger together, despite our differences. To shatter this Republic would be catastrophic and more costly than any of us could bear. The likelihood of ->

#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

A very brief 🧵

US Military hero and National Security Advisor to former President Trump @AVindman warned the world about Trump’s horrific July 2019 phone call to #Ukraine President #Zelenskyy, when Trump attempted to extort Zelenskyy into digging up imagined dirt on Biden ->
