The other day I wrote about the “He Gets Us” campaign. It is funded by the Servant Foundation. But I am told there are actually two. I identified the wrong one. It is not tied to the Oklahoma UMC, but to a donor directed foundation in Kansas with the same name. I updated the original piece and wanted to highlight it here too. I regret the error. I’m told it is one prominent evangelical family doing most of the funding as multiple denominations including my own Presbyterian Church in America have declined to participate.
If one rich family devoted to prayer and God believes they heard from the Lord to fund and operate “He Gets Us” campaign, then they are being obedient to God’s will. Some Christians do not hold that God speaks to us individually. I believe the Bible explicitly informs us He does and will always do so to “ears that hear.” Those who hear from God should seek Biblical consensus and counsel, but don’t require some kind of vote to do what they’re asked by the Lord. So the wise might say “this is a waste of money” but God’s work confounds the wise. I’m glad “He Gets Us” is running and I’m glad some Christians have ears to hear.
Erick, in a day and age where even mentioning the word Jesus gets people branded for cancellation (see Tony Dungy), prime time commercials that get people thinking about Him and His character are just fine by me. I applaud the effort, I do not condemn it.
They are all part of the same global ring of terrorism bent on the goal of deconstruction of the civilized western world. Their interests only align there. If they succeed they will fight each other for the spoils.
For the US, the head of the snake is the teachers union.
Give in to bullies and terrorists, you just incentivize them to bully and terrorize more. How have we forgotten that as a nation? “Millions for charity, not one penny for tribute!”
I was at a concert last night in Reynoldstown (east side of Atlanta) and these “activists” were handing out flyers for a protest they are having over the shooting. I was a bit worried the “Night of Rage” would show up there but thankfully did not.
I agree. To combat evil groups like this, the project needs to go forward. We've seen over the last 2-3 years what happens when you let the terrorists win.
That Shield is a nice little weapon. In the right hands. And obviously not for shooting at cops.
Kind of inconsistent for antifa-type terrorists to be using firearms when I'm sure they support unconstitutional Democrat legislation to disarm the rest of us.
The GBI on Instagram makes no mention of anything regarding this. Weird.
Thank you for updating us. I kinda hate Twitter, so....

The AJC headline today was “ Protests draw attention “ and “ No bodycam footage” ,
Not “ Would be assassin killed after attempt on the life of a cop clearing brush” ( the officer wore body armor because he wisely new it could happen)
I messaged this morning Bluestein and colleagues that AJC leftist leanings editorially and inflammatory headlines were societally harmful…….
Tonight I’m watching a cop car in flames. .. Go figure.

As Maximus Desimus Meridius said in Gladiator when confronted with the Germanic hordes:
“Unleash hell.”
The forest must be cleansed.
Never give in to these terrorists.
