Excellent from @joe_rigney:
True compassion requires speaking truth rather than simply accommodating feelings, particularly in debates over gender identity, @joe_rigney argues. "Language instructs, and thus it’s important to retain coarse words for vile affections and vile acts.".

Honored to write again for COA 👇🏻. I draw on insights from @AndyNaselli, @joe_rigney, @RevKevDeYoung and the 2005 version of Russ Moore to address contrasting articles by @aaron_renn and @DennyBurk. Fun times 😎.

In which erstwhile conservative, David French, hires a transgender male to be an author for The Dispatch. French also used Jessica’s (née Brian’s) preferred pronouns (“she/her”) in a recent interview for The NY Times. All of this is insane.
This is great news for The Dispatch. Nobody is better on fiscal policy than Jessica. Jessica and I recently had a great conversation about the grim realities of the federal budget on The Opinions podcast (link in next tweet).

“Following her ordination she oversaw communion and then preached a sermon the next week to the whole congregation.” —@Protestia . For anyone who has been following Meyer’s trajectory, this is not surprising. But it’s still sad.
Pastor Jason Mayer, the guy who succeeded John Piper at Bethlehem Baptist Church but then resigned a decade later, is now a egalitarian, ordaining a female minister while explaining how rough women have it in the church. Story at

This reminds me of something @douglaswils once wrote:. “The [Muslims] know what they are doing, and they are doing it with all their might. The secular West does not know what it is doing, and is doing it halfheartedly. But the choice is — as always — Christ or chaos.”.
🚨FLASHBACK: Imam Mohammad Tawhidi explains why radical Muslims consistently align with and vote for the Left—they see liberals as naïve and easily manipulated. In contrast, they fear conservatives, who stand by firm principles and are much harder to influence.
