Please watch this. "I want you to know that I've got a God who has been so good to me."
A Texas woman was driven off her land by a racist mob in 1939. More than eight decades later, she owns it again. cbsn.ws/48xZa4v
When Jesus met with the Samaritan woman, He crossed the lines between Jew and Samaritan, male and female, pure and impure. He ignored nationalism, racial prejudice, gender bias, and rules for clean and unclean.
If it’s clear and you well know it, do the right thing quickly. I’ve found that, the longer I wait, the cloudier the situation gets, the more the rationalizations to do otherwise mount and the less the Holy Spirit fills me. I don’t know if I’m right about this but, it seems to…
A total of 376 law enforcement officers were at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde. 19 students and two educators were still shot dead. At Covenant Christian school, there were armed staff members on the premises. Three 9 year olds and 3 adults were still shot dead. Today there a…
“Bad people break laws” is not a good argument against making laws. The Bible is full of admonishments to mitigate the effects of evil and to restrain the damage evil people can do by means of laws and the just ordering of society. Laws deter.
I’d like to speak to Evangelicals. If you are like me, you’ve spent most of your life being told that you have to vote Republican to be a good Christian. I understand if your convictions prevent you from voting for a Democrat. But let me suggest something: 1/10
Christian nationalism isn’t the way ahead for Jesus followers. Christian faithfulness is. It’s fidelity to Christ—not fidelity to notions of American Christianity or to any political party—that will bring light into this present darkness. The church is bride to no one but Christ.
This is not a Christian statement. Jesus repudiates this kind of thinking again and again.
Regular reminder that becoming a man is about growing out of boyhood, not rejecting womanhood. (Which might explain why folks who frame manhood as "not being women" often act in such childish ways.)
"Women must smile more" "Men must sing gruffly" "Homeschool your kids, but not too long or the sons will respect their mothers and that's matriarchal." Rules upon rules upon rules upon rules. Contrast: "Come to me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest."
It should mortify us all that while the President of the largest US evangelical denomination’s flagship seminary was at a Christian Nationalism conference wholeheartedly endorsing a political party, elected leaders of that very party were using immigrants as political footballs.
Psalm 39 was part of my Bible reading this AM and I spent a while meditating on v.7. “And now, what is my hope? Truly my hope is in you.” Thinking how we all have times of “and now, what?” Times when the path is upended. The plan didn’t materialize. Dreams crashed & crumbled.
Christianity should sound a lot less like “How can I protect my rights?” and a lot more like “How can I protect my neighbor?”
A Christianity that believes it needs a political party, president, legislation, and a nation to ensure its survival and enforce its values is a Christianity that dethrones Jesus as savior of the nations and promotes a belief that even Jesus needs a nation to be his savior.
I thought it was just my incredibly niche timeline of Southern Baptists thrown together with Anglicans ... but apparently not. David and Bathsheba are trending. A few points that I'm not hearing clearly enough: a 🧵1/
Believing this to be the leadership of the Spirit & as a Part 2 of sorts to yesterday's thread about discipling people on the values of Jesus, I'd like to make a statement on why I will no longer be forced into making statements. I am unfortunately not new to this game.
Listen to this slowly. Then listen again. @bobrobertsjr on @HolyPostPodcast with @SkyeJethani and @philvischer on how his love for people grew when he did this one thing.
It’s a fragile Jesus who needs weapons, an army, and political control to protect and enforce his will. It’s a powerful Jesus who lived the way of self-sacrificial love, served others, who was executed by religion colluding with corrupt political power and still defeated death!
My Bible reading this morning started with these words: “The time had come for the Lord to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind.” I just threw my head back with glee over the marvelousness, the unfathomable uniqueness, the wildness & wonder of God. I mean, he’d calendared it.
