The best thing about me is that I'm accepted by God through the death and resurrection of His Beloved Son. I exist to know Jesus Christ and make Him known.

The lenses we wear effect our perception of everything that we see. As Christians, our tendency is to say of ourselves, “My lens is strictly the Bible.” while failing to recognize the cultural, philosophical & political lenses we had on before we opened the Bible.
No believer (or community of believers) is exempt from this. Does this mean we can’t know or discern truth? Not at all. It means that we need the humility to ask ourselves how our culture or politics may be shaping how we understand and apply truth.

Well, today is the day my book “The New Reformation”comes out.
8 quick thoughts:
1. There are so many landmines when it comes to the "race" discussion. My aim in writing TNR was to produce a resource for the church that was more biblical than political, more unifying than divisive, more hopeful than cynical.

A thread on labels, categorizing and discourse amongst Christians in our current cultural moment:
1/19
These days, the labels are flying around like crazy, often used perjoratively and almost always unhelpful. “SJW”, “Woke”, “Marxist”, etc. or from another standpoint, “Karen”, “White Evangelical”, “Trumpers”, etc.

**Thread Incoming** Listened to #JesusIsKing by @kanyewest a few times. 10 quick thoughts: 1. I LOVE that the album is called “Jesus is King”. No better title for an album. God decided to flex His Son’s glory at the top of the charts and trending- for all to see.
2. Like many, I’ve watched Kanye closely and been praying for him. Based on what I’ve seen, it appears that Kanye is a new believer. Praise God! #JesusisKing has the aroma of someone who’s had an encounter with the Lord and wants everyone to know it.
