Good words from Tim Keller:

On social media – it's important to answer a fool according to his folly AND to not answer a fool according to his folly. The reasons for this balance are found in Prov 26:4-5.

Another spin on the “unfaithful” Christians who vote for Democratic candidates:

If for the past 40 years, everyone who claimed to be an evangelical Christian refused to vote for any pro-abortion candidate, Roe v Wade would've been toppled long ago. Abortion is still an issue because many professing evangelical Christians were unfaithful with their vote.

“I do just that”:

From my latest in @SBTS and @BoyceCollege chapel. In the wake of Dobbs, it's necessary to understand and place the sanctity and dignity of human life and the challenges we face in a biblical frame. I do just that. You can watch it here: https://t.co/A0Dbj6OdKl pic.twitter.com/TW7wipMrBK

Christian MAGA from a Trump court evangelical:

Metaxas and Zmirak being Metaxas and Zmirak:

Right-wing commentators John Zmirak and Eric Metaxas have become so extreme that they're now spreading the far-right "white genocide" conspiracy theory, likening the situation for white Christians in the U.S. today to Nazi Germany and the genocide in Rwanda. pic.twitter.com/3l1NmrLGYQ

Eric Metaxas essentially says that Dietrich Bonhoeffer would have voted for Trump. Anyone who doesn’t fight for a Trumpian brand of “Christianity,” including the idea that the election was stolen, are just like the German Christians who supported Hitler.

Jack Hibbs is “live” with Glenn Beck, calling all his political opponents murderers:

A staff member from the Liberty University Standing for Freedom Center tells us to read the Gospels:

Christian courage in its most zealous form must retain the fruits of the Spirit. When a desire for retweets trumps a desire to reflect Christ, you aren’t advocating Christ, but rather yourself. If you lack the creativity to reflect both zeal and Christ, go read the gospels.
