“This illustrates the problem I am referring to. Phil Johnson was able to identify some of the most popular online self-proclaimed Christian nationalist figures as representative of the movement, but if anything, they are liabilities for the guys Sean McGowan mentioned who are trying to make a difference in the ecclesiastical debate. For the record, I did critique the sermon but also noted that Johnson was encouraging Christians to vote, which for me was positive.”
(Jon Harris) I am frequently asked to weigh in on the ever-shifting fault lines in the debate over “Christian Nationalism.” I would to explain why I am more reticent to do so at this point. Continue reading
3 For we have wasted enough time participating in the desires of the Gentiles, having proceeded in licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties and unlawful idolatry. 4 Wherein they think it strange you are not running with them into the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. 1 Peter 4:3-4 (translated from the NA28 Greek text to English)
“Panentheism is gradually being legitimized by the Roman Catholic church and some evangelical leaders. Within Evangelicalism, it is coming in through the Roman Catholic mystical practice of Contemplative prayer and panentheism, in which Fr. Richard Rohr and the Enneagram are deeply rooted. “Shepherds” have been using the Enneagram as a nine-week sermon series, as well as for counseling, “discipleship,” and other “spiritual formation” programs.”

They gather at city council meetings because these places allow a mostly unchurched crowd to fulfill its desire for community, meaning, and a mission that church once provided.”
“Desronvil introduced himself as the “lone juror” and urged, “I know the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels… the ones that can’t speak for themselves, the ones that can’t defend themselves, and the ones that can’t fight the battles.” He was referring, of course, to Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (8 months).” 
“In the face of all this, Congress does what it usually does: nothing. Plenty of pandering and bickering. This amuses the killers in Beijing. They are busy figuring out how to maximize their power by developing AI. Maybe they will ramp up the Wuhan lab for some experiments.”
“We’ve all seen the tearful pastor standing before his congregation, claiming he’s been led astray. Whether he’s admitting to an affair, gambling, or misusing church money, the appeal to forgiveness can help him get a second chance, sometimes even a third. That’s where blind loyalty gets in the way of common sense.”
“The simplicity of the mind of Christ is also why the world calls the Spirit’s revelation foolishness. When the unbeliever hears the simple message of the gospel and discovers it is God’s wisdom, how often does he respond in a rage, rejecting the cross as folly because it is straightforward?
