A decade or two too late, McConnell. You can’t pave the way for this regime and then finger wag when they remove the mask of respectability.

The designation of the amorphous group antifa as a terrorist organization allows the state to brand all dissidents as supporters of antifa and prosecute them as terrorists.

In reaction to the rise of Christian Nationalism in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, a lay person commented that “this just isn’t the church of my childhood anymore.” An LCMS pastor responded: “You just weren’t catechized properly! Take up your cross.”
Lord, have mercy.

One of the reasons I have trouble trusting the postlibs is when it comes down to a choice b/t a right authoritarian and a status quo liberal, many of them prefer the right authoritarian.

This season, there is only one defense against commerce--a powerful, intentional, disciplined celebration of Advent with full understanding of its conquering promise. A good sermon about John the Baptist--"He must increase, I must decrease"--will point the way to the reign of Jesus Christ.

If you have imposed a right wing ideology onto the biblical text, I don’t really care what you have to say about “inerrancy.” You have already started demytholygyzing. You’re just being dishonest and hypocritical about it. Thanks.

I was blocked by the LCMS on Twitter because I posted this tweet: “Justice for Matt Becker.”
Becker was defrocked in 2015 for supporting women’s ordination and questioning a literal reading of the Genesis creation account. But the LCMS allows fascist and white supremacist pastors to run wild.
