@BillKristol As a Pastor myself, I wish it was possible for me to apologize for every Pastor who colludes the Kingdom Of God with Caesar’s Empire. You can’t serve both but so many try, and it always ends badly. You can either be faithful or have power but you can rarely do both.

I run the @MisterRogersSay Twitter account so I’ve observed how a lot of people misspell Mister Rogers name, adding a “d” making it Mister Rodgers. Fun fact, So many have misspelled it that #MisterRodgers is trending right now on Twitter. Totally okay, just kind of a funny thing.

A very gospel question to ask is "what is good for my neighbor?" Put a different way, "what does my neighbor need and how can I provide for them?" Then ask, "who is my neighbor?" The answer is everyone. Enemies, friends, immigrants, refugees, actual neighbors, other religions
