Yet another tragic theological error of Christian history has been the elevation of penal substitutionary atonement to the level of "the gospel." It's not the gospel: there is no description of euangelion or kerygma in the NT that clearly and directly includes penal substitutionary atonement. ➡️

Just received this latest book by Greg Boyd (and Scott Boren) and it's good. Real good. "God Looks like Jesus" is short and concise that argues that God looks... like... Jesus. Entirely. Completely. If you're all, "Yah but whutbout...?" then read this and you'll see.

She needs to listen to @malcolmgladwell.bsky.social “Revisionist History” episode “The Joe Rogan Intervention”. In fact, everyone should listen to this.

"There are many differed Jesuses being proclaimed out there. Make sure your Jesus is the Jesus of the Gospels, the one who taught that the greatest commandment is to love God by loving one's neighbour as if their needs are our own—& who then lived what he taught." @mwpahl.bsky.social

I read that @theatlantic.com article on the #Antisocial Century by @dkthomp.bsky.social (linked in first comment). Holy smokes. As a pastor I felt I had something to offer in response so sent this to my community. It’s almost 10 mins but hopefully worth a watch: youtu.be/kWxngzO_YtQ?...

#CraigCardiff's song "Safe Here" is apt for this moment for both Canadians and Americans: "This is my country, this is your country too There are so many things we need to change It'd be too easy to let it overwhelm us It'd be too easy to let things stay the same" Listen: youtu.be/qYVdC4LKSsM

The Temple was for US, not Him. We're the ones who wanted the world to see how great and powerful our god is (re: how great and powerful *we* are). It's weird how I've never heard this take before--neither via formal or informal study--so thanks for this perspective! 2/2

.@skyejethani.bsky.social - your devo this AM on Solomon's Temple not being a God-blessed/ordained project was fantastic. And it made so much sense in light of how we understand power/notoriety through the lens of Jesus in the NT. He was quite content to reside in a tent... of course he was. 1/2

Lecrae didn't drop it off.... nor did Derek Minor... or Trip Lee. I hear Reach Records is a neo-reformed record label. Propaganda did, though. But I doubt he ever drank that koolaid anyway.
