Kevin DeYoung has chosen the CN study committee members. They are free to contact me at any time. To aid them in their study, here's a selection of my work:

Since I’m no longer a member of the church and my now former elders have made public comments on the issue I’d like to thank @sgpestritto for accurately covering this issue. https://t.co/hnusOR2BzV

Give Jeremy a follow

"It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor."

@andrewtwalk @douglaswils @DouthatNYT You won’t get anything w/o law. Sorry. That’s how the reformation happened (see Ozment on this) (also Locke, Bolingbroke, & Hume all talk about the Prince; it’s not scary; Whigs used to like it) https://t.co/F3ZNiUwgOE

Sat down w/ @PerfInjust To see what he really believes about Christian Nationalism https://t.co/afX31iZZNf

In a way, we might conclude that Doug becoming the sort of moderate voice is a good thing.

IOW, the principle they use to judge church establishment destroys their own political principles.

God ordained political power for the good of his people.

At this point, Walker is committed to "true liberalism has never been tried." It amazes me that anti-establishmentarians will use subsequent apostasy as a basis to reject church establishment, but they will not reject their political principles as the degeneracy that arose

I'd like to point that every degeneracy of our time--everything you protect your kids from--arose without church establishment but under the secular conditions affirmed by Walker. If church establishment necessarily leads to apostasy, then "baptist" secular politics necessarily

There's not a single majority white Christian tradition that identifies as left of center on political ideology. That was true in 2012 and it's true in 2024. Note how white evangelicals have moved right while atheists have moved left in the last 12 years, too.

"Heathens have, by instinct of nature, both made laws morally good, submitted to them, and set kings and judges over them, which clearly proveth that men have an active power of government by nature. " Rutherford.

Imagine that we have a Democrat administration. Now imagine that a right wing radical shot and killed one of the most influential liberals in the country on live TV. Now imagine that thousands of other conservatives shamelessly celebrated the assassination and called for more of

Christian Nationalism is here. It isn’t going anywhere. Christ is King and we will make America Christian again!

Should be “comprehensive” in first tweet.

It is not politics as such but turns politics into an instrument for evangelizing the left. It is a pragmatic method of doing ministry. It doesn’t belong in the category of “political thought.”

“Third-wayism” is a method of avoiding a compressive and coherent political theory/theology in order to selectively sharpshoot the left and right on limited pet issues to “witness” (a non-political end) to a selected audience (typically leftwing).

One irony is that the more you were influenced by Keller, the less relevant you are to our moment and likely the future. The exact opposite of what he predicted.
