The Anglos are hysterical about CRT. They however have lived the lie of Christian Nationalism and are exposing the substance of their hearts. This foolishness is based on a false sense of history. In the absence of truth, bigoted ideology like this prevails!

My father served during Vietnam, two tours. I served during the Iraq war, two tours. Our family legacy isn’t war, it’s service. Happy Veterans Day!

@pastordmack I find this to be very disingenuous coming from Tim Scott. Trump got loans, never paid them back, yet he supports him. Trump committed crimes and has yet to go to jail, but he supports him. AA’s have been over taxed and underrepresented. It’s a NO on Tim Scott.

Representation matters. It’s hard to want to be apart of an organization that doesn’t value making sure the organization looks like the people who serve. #SBC22 #SBC2022 #Anaheim

How is it that what’s happening in Ukraine is breaking Americans hearts but what’s happening in America isn’t moving them? Racism, nope. Nationalism, nope. Homelessness, nope. Human Trafficking, nope. School shootings, nope. Love begins at home and spreads abroad!

Just for the record, black pastors have always shown up with or without cameras present. We show up anytime there is hurt, pain, sorrow or joy. Pastors are always there when the community needs us most.

There are evangelicals who support Trump more than they support the Bible. The Bible says “do not lie”, Donald Trump tells a huge lie, his followers say nothing. Something is terribly wrong when you hold a man in higher esteem than the word of God!

Speaking truth always has a way of making the guilty speak. There is no need for private dialogue when the offense was spoken publicly. @pastordmack had no need to slander someone who openly acknowledged the desire for a less than colorful Christian nation.

@andrewtwalk You nor Mike Johnson are poster boys for Christianity. Neither of you model what Christianity is, what it represents or who it represents. What you call conservative is not conservatism, it’s white supremacy packaged in faulty political ideologies.

What we lost in Tulsa was the blueprint for financial independence in the black community. We lost legacy builders who knew how to get the entire community plugged in. We lost human lives, a generation of strong intelligent black men. #BlackWallStreet

White Evangelicals do not own Christianity. Having resources to produce beautiful arenas turned into sanctuaries does not give you ownership of the message of the gospel. Your interpretations, ideas, and rhetoric is just that.

@Brent_Hobbs That’s awesome but he seems to be speaking for the SBC. He seems to be sharing the thoughts of others still aligned with the SBC and the leadership should address it immediately.

Ice Cube wanted to lobby his way in under the cover of a plan for black ppl without talking to black people to get a plan. He wanted to do exactly what he was accusing other ppl of doing in the past. But now he’s big mad with Democrats.

He said at one point he was “embarrassed about the Bible”. He found it difficult to talk about slavery. Until someone showed him how to be openly bigoted, racially insensitive and completely unchristian. This is what some who define as Christian Nationalism. I call it plain old

Evangelicals do not have to accept, understand or respect the teaching/application of social justice. When they refuse it highlights the facts that they have never had a true encounter with Jesus Christ. It’s hard to understand oppression when you’ve always been the oppressor.

Lest we forget, over 500 children are at our border and will probably never see their birth parents again because of the ineptitude of the Trump administration. How can SBC pastors still support an administration that has failed at the one thing they champion? #missions

Dear Black SBC Members, Don’t compromise. Stand firm on the word of God and your convictions. You can both love God and call for justice. You can both love your brother and reject racism. Don’t wait for change, make change. If you’re staying, keep fighting. I’m praying for you.

@GarrettBartonMD @BenjaminSWatson The National Anthem wasn’t chosen by the nation. It was chosen my racist white men who owned black people. There is nothing garbage about the Black National Anthem. And at some point you’ll realize that black people don’t need validation from white people.

@TomBuck The wisdom is God is so high above our understanding. Stop trying to act as if you have more wisdom and understanding than the creator. His church will stand forever and it has nothing to do with gender!

@pastordmack It’s concerning that people who say they love God and follow the teaches of Jesus Christ could ever be apart of such an organization. This doesn’t even seem like Christian behavior.
