One of the major threats to authentic Christian faith is American nationalism trying to camouflage itself as Christianity.
@ShaneClaiborne What about the White Supremacy and Structural Racism that drives that American Nationalism?
@ShaneClaiborne Not liking the 2nd Commandment Violations in this thread :(
@ShaneClaiborne There is nothing in the Bible about America. Nor is there anything in the constitution about America as a Christian nation.
@ShaneClaiborne Very true. Another massive threat is when we quietly conspire to ignore some of Jesus’ most unpopular teachings about working for God/Love INSTEAD OF money/mammon (Lk. 16:13-14) & about LITERALLY forsaking possessions & redistributing that wealth to the poor of the world.
@ShaneClaiborne That has ALWAYS been a problem, unfortunately.
@ShaneClaiborne Christianity is not party-political. It's an alternative. It's kingdom oriented. It's the opposite of power. Vote for the party that aligns most with kingdom values and be a good citizen but focus on living like Jesus.
@ShaneClaiborne This is a whole sermon in one tweet.
