Theology 101: My great fear is not that heresy will be preached from our pulpits, but that nobody in the church will notice.

I am a Light Supremacist. I believe:
• that the Light is greater than the Darkness.
• that God, who is Light (1 John 1:5), and the Father of Lights (James 1:17), and who alone dwells in unapproachable Light (1 Timothy 6:16), is the plenarily supreme Being.
• that Man, in his natural state, loves Darkness rather than Light (John 3:19).
• that Christ, the Light of the world (John 8:12), is the only way to the Father (John 14:6).
• that God has given us His Word, the unfolding of which gives Light (Psalm 119:130), and by the illuminating aid of His Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:12-14), is a Light to our path (Psalm 119:105).
• that Christians are called to be Light in the world (Matthew 5:14–16).
• and that it follows that if and when it is appropriate to compare nations, cultures, and individuals, they should first and foremost be measured by whether they love the Light, hide from it, or try to overcome it.

Joshua 2: "Rahab the prostitute"
Matthew 1: "Rahab, the grandmother of the Messiah."
God has the redemptive capability to change labels and rewrite stories for his purposes and our better.

I mentioned that my garage door was making a sound.
An American immediately said, "I got a guy."
He did not ask what the sound was. He did not ask what kind of door. He produced a guy on the basis of the word garage.
I asked who the guy was.
He said, "Just a guy."
He did not have a company name. He had a first name and a phone number in his phone saved as "Mike Garage."
That is the contact name. Mike Garage. As though Garage is his surname. As though there is a family.
I asked how he found this guy.
"My brother-in-law used him."
I asked if the brother-in-law was satisfied.
He thought about it. Then he said, "He's still standing."
The house is still standing. That is the entire review.
Inside I said: THEY DO NOT KEEP RECORDS. THEY KEEP LOYALTIES.
I called Mike Garage. He answered from inside a vehicle. There was wind. He said he could come Tuesday between eleven and four.
Between eleven and four. A window of five hours. In my country this would be a scandal. Here it is generous. He gave me a window at all. Some guys do not give you a window. Some guys say "Tuesday" and that is the whole appointment.
He came at 1:40.
He fixed it in twenty minutes. He charged me less than I expected and he did not take a card, only cash or an app I had never heard of.
Before leaving he looked at my water heater, which I had not mentioned, and said, "That's gonna go."
I asked when.
"Couple years."
I asked what I should do.
He said, "I'll give you a guy."
He gave me a guy. Mike Garage has a guy. The guy has a guy. There is a network beneath this country made entirely of men named after their function, and none of them advertise, and all of them are busy.
Inside I said: THERE IS A SECOND NATION HERE. IT HAS NO SIGNS. IT IS ENTERED ONLY BY INTRODUCTION.
I have been given four guys since.
I have a guy for trees.
I did not know I needed a guy for trees.
I have trees now, apparently. They are my responsibility. A man named Rick told me so and then left.

Lewis on how to know how strong the wind is blowing:
"No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good. A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. After all, you find out the strength of the German army by fighting against it, not by giving in. You find out the strength of a wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later."

Replying to @JillFilipovic
"He has a history of poor decision-making, but does that matter for one of the nation's premier decision-making jobs?"

This is a baffling tweet, because it says twice that Platner has “a history of bad decision-making,” and then confirms that that bad decision-making causes all sorts of other problems, and then concludes that this would not matter for . . . a member of the U.S. Senate.
The Graham Platner story is landing because it confirms a bunch of his critics’ prior concerns: unvetted, history of poor decision-making, the kind of light misogyny that tends to go along with male bad decision-making. Those are all problems! But it’s worth asking if they’re problems that should be disqualifying for a senate seat and I think the answer to that is no.
