    I've had a surge of letters and messages from people sharing how much The Irresistible Revolution has meant to you. I just want to say -- thank you. It means so much. Some of you have been picking it up again and re-reading it, in light of the moment we're living in... and

    I just don’t understand Christians who refuse to wear a mask because they think God will protect us... but somehow they still need a gun.

    So grateful to my dear friend and sister Bishop Mariann Budde for bearing witness to the love and mercy and compassion of our God. This is what it looks like to speak the truth in love.

    Of course, I am troubled by Trump, but I am even more troubled by the Christians who defend him.

    There is something terribly wrong with the theology that we don’t need to wear masks because God will protect us... but we still need a gun.

    I am appalled by Trump. But I am even more appalled by the Christians who defend him.

    It’s the anniversary of the electric-chair execution of George Junius Stinney, Jr. in South Carolina in 1944. He was 14, weighed 95 lbs, and had to sit on his Bible for his head to reach the metal helmet of the electric chair. 70 years later, he was exonerated. Lord, have mercy.

    There are 120,000 US children waiting for an adoptive family. There are over 3,500 in Texas alone. The average wait for a child in foster care to be adopted is 3 years. Imagine if every pro-life Christian cared as much about life after birth as life before birth.

    Wouldn’t it be great if churches were the last places to reopen because of how obsessed we are with loving our neighbors and protecting the most vulnerable?

    If your theology does not make you more loving... get rid of your theology. And choose love.

    I just saw a billboard that said: “Only God and Donald Trump can save us.” Trump-evangelicalism is an idolatrous cult. Imagine the early Christians saying, “Only God and Caesar can save us.” Nope. Get behind me Satan. Jesus is Lord. Caesar is not.

    I wish Democrats did more to protect life before birth... And I wish Republicans did more to protect life after birth.

    Whoa. Powerful piece by Detroit artist Jonathan Harris, entitled “Critical Race Theory.”
