This isn’t real, right? This is a bot or Russian propaganda, right?! Even if it is, will any MAGA’s rebuke him?
@FanJDVance I would say: no. The future of our country is too important. It is not wonderful if Trump had sex with a lot of children, but as Christians, we need to forgive. And it is good that he is the president, yes, even if he rapes women and girls.

Before you believe the devastating fires in my community are about anything but climate change: 1. This is the driest winter in SoCal since 1964. 2. Typically in December we get 3.5” of rain. This December? 0.02”. 3. The force of these Santa Ana winds is “historic.”

Pardoning your own son is a move out of the Trump playbook. Disappointing.

Last week I had sat down with @imdfrnt of ChurchDropout podcast to talk about the election, Christian Nationalism, and the church's response/culpability. Allen is a phenomenal interviewer. I hope you watch.

“We’re gonna put kids in cages. It’s gonna be glorious.”-Mike Davis. That’s inhumane, & reminiscent of how slaves were treated. Not surprised though.
Mike Davis, a leading candidate for the Trump administration's AG: “We're going to deport a lot of people, 10 million people and growing - anchor babies, their parents, their grandparents. We're gonna put kids in cages. It's gonna be glorious." (2023) https://t.co/YpjjmL2K4V

"If by mass deportation President-elect Trump means deporting all undocumented immigrants, that would mean deporting the parents of 4 to 5 million children… That would be very troubling to us at @WorldRelief & the vast majority of Evangelical Christians"
newsweek.com
Other Christian leaders are calling for mixed-status families to be protected ahead of the Republican's inauguration.

Of course Jesus is still King, BUT we can take time to mourn and lament too. Those aren't mutually exclusive.

This really is the gut punch I can't get over.
At least in 2016 we could comfort ourselves knowing that he didn't win the popular vote. But in 2024, he told us exactly who he is and what he thinks of women, immigrants, POC and a myriad of others. And a MAJORITY of US voters said, "Yeah, that sounds good. I'm voting for him."

It feels passive agressive when ChatGPT says it's searching for whatever I asked of it. Like it's saying "oK I'lL GoOgLE THaT fOr YoU."

We need to be discipled not to hate those who don't vote like us AND not to see a vote for a lying, racist, misogynist as just as legitimate as a vote against him.

Someone said "Christian" has ceased to mean the same thing as "Christ follower". Truer words.
