John MacArthur was my father's favorite preacher. My dad, a retired Baptist preacher, used to order his sermon tapes, and I remember listening to MacArthur in the car with him. It was usually either MacArthur or the Eagles.

All other factors being equal, why is it that we often choose to advocate for the rich and powerful against the weak and vulnerable? I often hear that we can't assume that David is a rapist, but why is it considered normal to assume that Bathsheba was an adulterous harlot? Brothers and sisters, all other factors aren't equal in this story.

But what’s the response of the right-wing? Instead of saying, “you know, being compassionate is a good thing, but this is how to really care for people well,” the right-wing has instead decided to market themselves as the assholes who don’t care about anything but the “facts” and “statistics.”

I just went back and read what I wrote four months ago concerning COVID-19. When I decided to go back and read my 53 thoughts, I expected to be proven wrong on a few points. After all, so much has changed.

While surveying the landscape of the bitter Southern Baptist quarrels, the Christian fallout of Chick-fil-a compromising, and the general state of affairs within the broader evangelical “culture wars,” one thing has become crystal clear to me. The “cancel culture” so commonly condemned and mocked by politically and theologically conservative talking-heads is the very same culture as the Christian “boycott culture.”

War will never be given the adjective “beautiful” because the very nature of war is one of death and destruction. You won’t find a commander describing the advancement of his army towards the enemy as being the same thing as watching a sunset over the watery horizon.
