🔥🔥🔥ANY HOT TAKES???🔥🔥🔥

I’m preaching on Genesis 22 tomorrow.

That’s where Abraham nearly sacrifices his son Isaac.

It’s… a pretty disturbing passage.

Any hot takes you’d like to share?

I’ve finished my prep, but I’m open to making edits!

Look, Grok is entirely useless.

There may be AI that’s more than an easily manipulated chat-bot, but that’s certainly not available to the public.

What we have is entirely artificial, completely unintelligent, and obviously manipulated.

ICE is antichrist.

Abolish ICE.

God's authority is vested in the human instruments he used to produce Scripture.

It is God's authority but their agency—that is, working through their language, their communication style, their genres, and their cultural understandings.

“Christian” can mean anything.

The followers of Christ will follow Christ.

Our actions will tell the truth about what we believe.

And our neighbours will experience that truth as love.

You cannot follow Jesus while being a patriot.

You cannot serve two masters.

I’m far less interested in what people tell me they believe with their words than I am in what they show me they believe with their actions.

Nothing being “uncovered” lately is surprising or even shocking.

This is exactly the quality of person people voted for.

He’s always shown us who he is.

They’ll pretend to care, but they don’t—because they’d vote for him again in a heartbeat.

It’s raining.

I’m using an umbrella.

And whenever this happens I’m reminded of how Bill Gothard doesn’t know how umbrellas work.

American Christianity has always been an Empire religion, backing the violence & oppression of Babylon while building its high towers.

What has changed is that now it’s not even pretending to hold any of its “Christian” values.

The way of Jesus is anti-American.

Far too many see truth as a conspiracy and wacky conspiracies as truths.

True remembering is to work for peace.

May we see the guns & funds of war & violence beaten & repurposed into the tools of cultivation, creation, & life.

True remembering is to work for peace. 🕊️🙏

White poppies stand for 3 things.

• Remembrance of all victims of war

• Challenging war & militarism, & the glorification of war

• A commitment to peace & to seeking nonviolent solutions to conflict

The FBI has warned that criminals posing as ICE agents have carried out robberies, kidnappings, & assaults in multiple states…

So… basically they’re doing the same things actual ICE agents are doing…

The earth belongs to God, and all creation is in God’s care:

land and waters,
plants 
and animals,
sky and soil

all declare the hospitality of God.

A “Christian” faith that isn’t lived out as an imitation of Jesus’s radical love is a faith that is dead.
November 7, 2025 at 1:16 PM
This might be the nicest thing someone has ever said to me on the Twitter.

We follow Jesus’s Upside-down Kingdom, while rejecting the way of the Empire faith.

People who call themselves “Christians” really don’t like the things Jesus calls His followers to do.
