When going through the TSA Pre-Check™️metal detector, I like to take a strong single step through and then make a firm but not aggressive stop, looking the TSA agent in the eyes. #NeverBeenFrisked.

Hey friends, my son is about to go on his first mission trip and is looking for a few more financial supporters. We can cover the gap if needed, but I think it'd be fun for him to see broader Christian support:

For me, "self care" is naming my files in a way that considers all the words my future self might search for.

I agree with Ryrie on a future place for Israel, but disagree that we can know this country is a fulfillment. Still, it’s tragic that his view made it’s way to Sunday schools as “unconditional support for any action of Israel”.

In 1969, Charles Ryrie of @dallasseminary wrote about wars in Palestine for @CTmagazine, “the State of Israel is not relieved of its obligation to act responsibly in the community of nations”

@dianabutlerbass @audreyassad @Theboyonabike @prof_gabriele @JonathanMerritt It pains me to see how so much of the (non)tradition in which I was raised (community/Bible church) has been overtaken by ideas deeply opposed to the gospel of Jesus Christ, but I take heart knowing that there are bright spots of change and resistance 7/.

@dianabutlerbass @audreyassad @Theboyonabike @prof_gabriele @JonathanMerritt By this, I'm not attempting to defend dispensationalism as correct, only to point out that the actual form differs from the politicized/folk versions, similar to how actual Christianity differs from today's power hungry anti-immigrant/woman nationalism with a Christian veneer. 6/.

@dianabutlerbass @audreyassad @Theboyonabike @prof_gabriele @JonathanMerritt (c) it does not support Israeli aggression and occupation, (d) it longs for the peace that Jesus promises, not war and violence, (e) its hope is centered on the final return of Jesus and his resurrection, not intervening events (or fancy charts) 5/.

@dianabutlerbass @audreyassad @Theboyonabike @prof_gabriele @JonathanMerritt Yes, actual dispensationalism includes a place for "Israel" in the future, but (a) it distinguishes between the current country and a future believing Israel that has turned to Christ, (b) it does not claim that the current state is the one spoken of in the scriptures 4/.

@dianabutlerbass @audreyassad @Theboyonabike @prof_gabriele @JonathanMerritt I also want to point out while attending and working at a seminary that teaches dispensationalism, I did not encounter the ideas and attitudes about Israel, Armageddon, war, etc. being promoted by nationalist-evangelicals. 3/.
