@gary_alcock @stclairashley IMO it doesn’t take itself seriously enough to be taken seriously. I think people are over analyzing it and drawing the conclusions they wanted to in the first place.

@Cernovich I’m convinced that if evangelicals were to turn their outreach efforts toward the cultural Christians, it would transform our generation. One very easy way to start doing that would be to ditch the globalist praise songs that dominate in evangelical services.

@megbasham It reminds me of something John MacArthur has talked about. How it’s his responsibility to just preach the truth, and God will fill the pews. We aren’t responsible for the how people react to the truth. Our only responsibility is to speak it.

@FischerKing64 I was thinking this morning that we’ve moved past the point where authoritarianism can be avoided. The only way to fix these issues is by the exercise of unilateral power. Someone will have that kind of control soon enough, and we have to hope it’s the right person.

@FischerKing64 This is demonstrably false. The prohibition against vernacular translations (they were common up until around the 13th century) of the Bible came about when people read it for themselves and criticized the Pope and the sacraments. Catholics then went on a centuries long rampage

@redeemed_zoomer @HonestYPTweets The Republicans didn’t abandon Christians; Christians abandoned Republicans, and the entire country. Our parents and grandparents spent their time evangelizing third world countries while our home rotted away. 20th century Christian conservatives failed to conserve anything.

@FischerKing64 This was basically how 17th and 18th century German Baroque music worked. Certain musical gestures were tied to specific, generally agreed upon ‘affects’ that an audience would ‘get’ immediately. We don’t get it now, which is why the music is harder for us to understand.

@FischerKing64 If you genuinely care for people, you have a shot at genuinely reaching their hearts and minds. Not really a rhetorical strategy, but a different orientation of ourselves in relation to others. I don’t think it’s something one can learn. Requires time, introspection, and prayer.
