Riley Gaines

So to all faculty, all staff, the entire student body. And in this email, she said, we are so proud of our brave students for handling Riley Gaines in the manner that they did. We know how deeply traumatic her presence is on this campus. And so here's some counseling resources for you all. You know, take the day off of school. Just know that we see you. We love you.

We hear you and we stand with you. No mention of, of course, the condemnation of violence, violence against women for that matter. No mention of the value in upholding free speech. No, of course not. I could tell story after story after story of being spit on, of people throwing glass bottles at me, pouring drinks on me for hours.

But again, that shift that we've seen, and to, I mean, to be very clear, from the beginning, the support has been tenfold compared to the negative. But you compare three years ago to now, a lot of the support at the beginning was in privacy or in secrecy or in direct messages or done through winks or whispers. That has totally shifted now.

People are so much more bold in saying men cannot become women.

Well, precisely like Jesus did. I think we have. I did for a long time. I knew Jesus, of course, was filled with grace. I knew he was filled with truth. But I believed in my mind he was 50% grace and 50% truth. That is not the truth. He is 100% grace and 100% truth at all times. Let's actually compare something like the bishop that we saw. Bishop is a stretch.

That service that President Trump got walked into, I believe whoever walked him into that service serves to lose their job. But did you see the female bishop who was very, very quick to speak of God's grace like any progressive pastor is?

Admittedly, as a Christian, there wasn't a whole lot she said that I disagreed with from the standpoint of understanding and knowing that we have a God who loves all. But what that bishop left out, what our culture tends to leave out, but what the Bible does not leave out is what happens next in the story. I think of stories like 1 John, right?

The adulterous woman who was sentenced to be stoned and the soldiers appear, they're ready to throw and Jesus shows up and he says, you know, those without sin cast the first stone. That is his perfect display of grace, 100% grace. But again, what the he gets us commercial. Did you watch that during the Super Bowl?

They depict people washing the feet of sinners, these Christ-like figures washing the feet of sinners outside of Planned Parenthoods or abortion clinics. Again, that is biblically accurate. But you know what the commercial left out? You know what the bishop left out? What our culture tends to leave out is what happens next. Because then Jesus says, now go and sin no more.

And as Christians, that is how we are called to lead. And admittedly, I struggle with the grace portion. It's hard for me to sometimes put myself in another person's shoes, especially on a topic so simple like this one. So I understand there are certainly ways that I can grow, that I can mature in my relationship with Christ. But that is how we should respond as Christians.
