How I Got Over is the AND Campaign’s new docuseries about the role a devout faith in the authority of Scripture played in the history of the Black Church. Premieres February 13th. #BHM
There’s a stark difference between biblical Christianity & Christianity that’s merely a brand of conservatism or progressivism.
The former is rooted in the Bible & controlled by Gospel imperatives. The latter seeks ideological ends & uses the Bible as a secondary source.
Our sister @JackieHillPerry is a blessing to the Church and an inspiration to the AND Campaign. She consistently goes into the public square and upholds the authority of Scripture with grace and courage.
It’s ridiculous for Christians to attack her over silly political grudges.
Christians, you can identify with a political party without allowing the party to become part of your identity.
If you feel the need to defend your party everytime the other side makes a critique, you probably have an unhealthy relationship with the party.
#NewChristianPolitics
The problem isn’t that Christians are in political parties, it’s that we’ve allowed the parties to frame the issues for us and create a false dichotomy.
We’ve split the Gospel in our public witness, placing social justice on one side and moral truth on the other.

🚨WRONG! This would devastate churches, mosques & temples that house immigrants, feed the poor, educate children, visit the sick (&) love LGBTQ people even when they disagree with them. This is why we can’t leave the far left unchecked to focus solely on Trump. #AND2020
Beto O’Rourke on religious institutions losing tax-exempt status for opposing same-sex marriage: "There can be no reward, no benefit, no tax break for anyone ... that denies the full human rights and the full civil rights of every single one of us" #EqualityTownHall
Politicians should primarily be seen as public servants rather than leaders. They’re to be respected and encouraged but not idolized.
Don’t treat them like celebrities. When you act like a fan, you’re less likely to hold them accountable. -@JustinEGiboney
#AhmaudArbery’s murder doesn’t happen in a society that recognizes the human dignity of all people, all races at all times. This shouldn’t have happened and we’re all responsible to make it stop.

The AND Campaign speaks for Christians in progressive spaces who still believe in the sanctity of life and the Christian sexual ethic.
(&)
Christians in conservative spaces who love our immigrants neighbors and demand racial justice.
#AND2020
The AND Campaign speaks for Christians who refuse to surrender their compassion to conservatism or surrender their convictions to progressivism.
Do you have the love to protect your neighbor (&) the boldness to stand firm on timeless doctrine even when pop culture disagrees?
The AND Campaign isn’t against Christian participation in political parties.
We’re against Christians placing their identities and faith in political parties. We’re against replacing the Compassion (&) Conviction of the Gospel with flawed political ideology. #AND2020
Regardless of which party you affiliate with, Christians should commit to the following:
I will hold Republicans accountable when they disregard immigrants or the poor.
I will hold Democrats accountable when they disregard the unborn or undermine religious liberty.

Many of us are looking for a theology that justifies our thoughts, inclinations, desires and cultural preferences without any demand for personal transformation.
We’ll likely find it b/c there are always false teachers ready to accommodate us, but it certainly won’t be biblical.
“The American theology that shows people how to get to heaven, but does not teach them how to live with their neighbor on earth is inadequate and thoroughly unbiblical.” -@CharlieDates
