We badly need a wave of competent, non-ideological people running for office at every level of government in 2026. Serious people with experience and maturity who won’t do stupid things. Back to basics. Our country needs to ditch the WWE entertainment politics. It’s killing us.
I’ve received several apologies and messages of support from SBC pastors in light of the amicus brief, not because it affected me directly, but because I’m a child abuse survivor and they were thoughtfully concerned about how the news might affect me.
Obviously, I don’t speak…
Proverbs 28: 13 declares, “Whoever covers their sins will not prosper.” The push to oppose CRT, & an accurate recounting of America’s racial history, is an attempt to cover America’s sin, & hide them from our children. America’s prosperity is threatened by this coverup.
For $20, I can explain the American political divide to you! Precisely, who should be on the US $20 bill? Some prefer (1) President Andrew Jackson, victorious general, slave-holder, a beared man of action; Others prefer (2) Harriet Tubman, woman, escaped slave, and abolitionist.
If anyone was looking for an excuse not to deal with sexual abuse and mistreatment of survivors within the SBC, Guidepost Solutions provided the perfect cover yesterday with their “pride” month tweet. I was both disappointed and stunned. A couple of thoughts about this…
This is an excellent consideration of the Task Force's recommendations by an attorney. If you've questions or hesitations about due process or false allegations as it relates to the recommendations, you need to think through this article.

Evangelical Christianity in the United States is often characterized by a deep desire to have “Christianity” pervade our culture but not have Christ permeate our being.
Person: Quit making faith so political. Just preach the gospel.

God: So yeah, anyway, as I was saying about leaving grain and produce for the poor and immigrant...
If the head of our Religious Liberty organization can't reply in our meeting exactly the way @drmoore replied to the pastor from Armorel, AR, then let's stop pretending it is an organization to defend Religious Liberty.
If on January 20th your outspoken concern about moral character in national leaders resumed after a four year pause or paused after a four year run, you *might* have a political idolatry problem.
The walls go up in a new Green Zone. I saw this in Iraq, and now it’s in my hometown of Washington. A militant mob incited by the American president to end US democracy through violence brought this. But they failed. Residents of DC stand against the people they call terrorists.
My kids: "Who could have foreseen this?"
Me: "I did."
My kids: "This was an entirely unpredictable result."
Me: "I literally said to stop doing that or someone would get hurt."
My kids: "Truly, an ineffable mystery."
I am not overly concerned about the President's bad theology. Lost people tend to have lost people theology. I'm more concerned about the evangelicals who won't recognize it as bad theology.
Breaking silence in the Church
is not the same thing as
breaking the unity of the Church.
False unity gets built on enforced silence
while
True unity gets built on deep truth-telling.
Great preaching does not just happen. It usually occurs after a week of great preparation. Great preparation does not just happen either. It usually occurs after intentionally structuring your life for adequate study, and then maintaining the discipline to use it.
