I heard Tim Keller
@timkellernyc
preach for the first time in NYC back in the mid 1990's. That was a life-shaping moment for me as I saw what a minister can and ought to be. That moment is the basis for my tribute to him:

Our public discourse is full of religious zeal, but it’s spiritually impoverished. People need grace but receive condemnation. Genuine Friendship is replaced by factions. And too many of us withhold empathy so we can be sure that you receive our judgment.

"If an Evangelical critiques Christians—even a theologically orthodox Evangelical who has been part of American Christian culture his or her entire life—then that’s betrayal. And traitors are the ultimate outsiders."
@DavidAFrench
The bond with a corrupt leader often begins with something good—a good education, a message that changed your life, an unforgettable summer at camp—but the good thing can warp into too much trust, tribalism, and ultimately angry willful blindness:
