Thinking about those young people that have Michael burdened. I think it is a deficient gospel that has us in this mess at least in part. We are sin-centered and sin obsessed and focused on getting people to stop sinning by means of coercion. It didn’t save Israel and won’t save them.
I know I’ll likely be misunderstood but the Gospel of the kingdom is seldom perceived. I think we all sense that when Jesus is proclaiming it.
Alan, that is the most Lutheran comment that in my 10+ years here I have ever read.
I’m personally worried about Nov and January since it looks like Trump will be the nominee for the GOP. Way to go, pubs, guaranteeing a likely Harris presidency later. Either way, I don’t think it will hobble the Christian nationalism inertia, but add to it.
“We are sin-centered and sin obsessed and focused on getting people to stop sinning by means of coercion. It didn’t save Israel and won’t save them.”
That’s good.
SCOTUS ruled in favor of orange man.

Spurred by Babylon Dread Alan….
its brief

In one of his books, Brooks writes about having dinner with John Stott who witnessed of Christ to him. Appears the Lord used this to bring Brooks to faith.
I think Brooks is right on with this statement.
“…if you are asking politics to deliver salvation for you, you are asking more of politics than it can bear, and it is ultimately self-defeating.”
The Israeli miltary fired on unarmed women and children (in Gaza) whose only crime was going to the food truck out of thirst and starvation.
Netanyahu really does want to exterminate the Palestinian people.
He needs to be called out by world community for what he is.
A war criminal.
