"The evangelical church has replaced spiritual formation with doctrinal conformity, and in so doing has lost the heart of the Gospel and the character of Christ." -Rondall Reynoso

The evangelical church has replaced spiritual formation with doctrinal conformity, and in so doing has lost the heart of the Gospel and the character of Christ.

(1/5) Once again I am sick. This latest murder by the GOP Secret Police is beyond unimaginable. I’ve watched three videos so far. Two from different angles and one from shortly before the shooting. It is clear that the government agent was the aggressor.

The greatest indictment of the American evangelical church that I have seen is that we are more upset about the disruption of our ability to sign praise songs on Sunday morning than we are about the abuse and killing of other bearers of the Imago Dei by the government.
