“I am convinced that many of the theological battles on Twitter are motivated not by a love for theology after all but by self-glory.

If you find pleasure in the battle and you love the kill, it’s probably not God’s glory that’s driving you, because He is slow to anger and lavish in love.

I think the toxic reactivity - often toward other Christians - on social media is a constant warning to us that the kingdom of self does a good job of masquerading at the Kingdom of God. Perhaps as we post, it is not God we are serving after all.”

A paraphrased page from @paultrippquotes book “Reactivity”

There were two images of Paul Tripp going around Twitter last week; one of him wearing a scarf and a page from his book. I’m no expert but the statement in the page contrasted against people making fun of him for wearing a scarf; that’s irony right? 🤔

There’s no shame in deleting tweets after all. You don’t even have to tell anyone; if you searched your motivations and found them wanting just make the tweets disappear. It’s amazing to me how many people who claim the work of Christ show up on Twitter to do battle.

Note: I was super excited about my layered scarf for this one so I included a video of it. You wouldn’t believe how much time I spent checking that thing on and off. 😅
