Amid an increasingly secular culture, many Christians are finding themselves in a precarious place.

Pastor Michael Anthony of Grace Fellowship in York, Pennsylvania, argues that it’s time for believers to stand up, regroup and “rediscover the divine equation of speaking the truth in love.”

Maybe we trade?” I get it; Handler is a comedian, but there are a number of reasons why there’s really nothing funny about her tweet.
