...the most flawed people in the Bible were called by God into His service for His glory and He alone will raise up and equip those He calls for these tasks.
He called Saul of Tarsus, a brutal man who hunted down and murdered Christians in an attempt to exterminate the faith, while Saul was on the road to Damascus. Saul, whose reputation as “the wolf who stalked the lambs” preceded him around the known world, was turned into one of the most important figures in the post-apostolic period, one of the greatest of the faith. God called David, He called Judah, through a line of the some of the most corrupt and sinful men in Biblical history came Jesus. To argue that people cannot be used is to deny the omnipotence of God. As my pastor once said, “God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called.”
Dana has a new book out next week, titled “Grace Canceled: How Outrage is Destroying Lives, Ending Debate, and Endangering Democracy,” I discuss the death of redemption and nuance, social justice warriorism in the church, and Trump and faith.
She writes in the Federalist,
Buttigieg believes everyone else’s sin is up for discussion — except his own. He cites Trump’s behavior, but what of Pete’s? Scripture is explicitly clear on the topic of sin and that everyone sins — and thank goodness for grace and forgiveness.Read more here.
Buttigieg likes to say, “God doesn’t have a political party,” which is correct. But God did give commandments to uphold, commandments which conflict with policies such as late-term, post-birth, and partial-birth abortion, policies Buttigieg and his party are trying to normalize as mainstream Christian doctrine while passing judgment on the manner in which Trump tweets. If Buttigieg’s “positions are informed by his faith,” as he so often says, you wouldn’t know it.
Buttigieg can cite Scripture, but does he follow it? He forgets that “It is not those who hear the law who are righteous but those who obey the law that will be declared righteous.”
