If a pastor believes that a book on how Christian men and women can be friends causes a man to commit adultery, that pastor shouldn't be a pastor. If you can't minister to the women in your congregation because you view the as threats, you're not a shepherd. You're a wolf.

I will never ever get over the fact that the people who told us when we were kids (rightly) that Bill Clinton’s predatory sexual misconduct & lies were a disqualifying abuse of power+

A nerdy thread 🧵 for historians and geographers who love Texas. #texasforever
The Texas Triangle , between Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio, contains 75% of Texans. Why? What's special about that triangle?

The Gospel Coalition literally made a theological article out of the Dick in a Box song, this is how bad things have gotten.

We often riff about Mary as being under some kind of social pressure for being pregnant (she would have been carrying a known bastard, this is shameful, etc) but I’m struck by the fact that the only character in the Gospels who ever expresses any kind of disquiet over sexual

This is exactly it. Everywhere I go I get asked "why don't we take this seriously?" No one ever wants the answer I give every time. "Because we do not actually think it's that bad." That's it. That's the real reason. It doesn't matter if it's the church, sports, school....

Christians can participate in political parties, but those groups should never frame our moral outlook or be the masters of our social action. Too many believers have outsourced their public witness to ideologies made with human hands. (&)

Hispanic Civil Rights Movement is often overlooked or ignored in Texas public schools. @Uvalde_CISD and the city of #Uvalde should look to memorialize this civil rights event on school grounds even while it looks to raze the school building.
Before the school shooting, Uvalde was known for a 1970 Hispanic student walkout. Its aging participants fear its spirit and memory are fading. Residents told us the history of the walkout isn’t taught in local schools. bit.ly/3OfEJPF
