On #WorldWaterDay 💦 , a reminderthat #Flint still doesn't have clean water. The govt poisoned Flint's drinking water 5 years ago. Flint is a POC community, and the poisoning of their people is not a coincidence. Flint is just one of the many reasons why we need #ClimateJustice!
Glad the Mueller Report is out. If something is there fine. If not, then let’s move on. We need to get Trump and Trumpism out the old-fashioned way. We need to vote it out. This is the only final way to defeat it: vote it out at every opportunity
You can say "Jesus is Lord" or you can say "We have no king but Caesar." But you can't say both, Falwell.
.@JemeleHill brilliantly explained why Colin Kaepernick’s heroic gesture was so radical — and how his fellow players might have let him down — on the first episode of #Take On America (made with @Ozy)
Voter suppression continues! #stayalert
Voter registration applications for 53,000 people in Georgia, mostly black, are sitting on hold, reports @AP. The person in charge of voter registration is GOP Georgia Sec. of State Brian Kemp, who is running for governor against Stacey Abrams.
“We searched everywhere except where lawyers for the accused told us not to look. We didn’t find anything where we were allowed to look. So that proves there was nothing there.”
There's a lot at stake this November. If we stay home, critical issues that affect our families and communities get ignored. Today on #NationalVoterRegistrationDay, register to vote and then get to the polls on Nov. 6. Text WeAllVote to 97779 to get started. #WhenWeAllVote
My dad‘s 90th birthday rolls on – literally! Today he got to see a bus with his image on it, commissioned by a commissioner - @RodneyEllis. My dad is thrilled! @KirkWhalum @WheelerAvenueBC @HoustonMAAC @WALIPPTSU @abc13houston @ChauncyOnTV @tracyclemons
Today, Pastor Reginald W. Sharpe, Jr. was our guest preacher and to come celebrate the honor of the Moving Monuments bus from Commissioner Rodney Ellis, Rev. Jesse Jackson joined Pastor Lawson in worship as did Sis. Alison Leland, wife of the late Congressman Mickey Leland.
They may claim Christianity, but anyone who says of migrant children, “they aren’t America so we don’t owe them anything” or “it’s not like they’re our people” is not a disciple of Jesus.
#MeToo mattered. Don’t doubt it 1 second, you who’ve suffered. It mattered when Tarana Burke started it. It mattered today when Harvey Weinstein got charged. It’s slowly mattering in churches. Not in them all nor in all the ways we wish. But it’s mattering. Darling, you matter.
Sometimes we wait to run to Jesus thinking our sorrows and trials are too small. Thankful his invitation is simple: "in our time of need."
The quickest way to become discouraged by your own progress is to become consumed with someone else’s progress. Run your own race.
The anxiety this tweet has produced in some is telling. The black church is a witness to the feelings of the institutional white church. We are not going anywhere and we will not pretend that there is only one, race-neutral, way to proclaim the gospel or do church.
When you’ve been given an assignment, responding to every critic will ultimately leave you with no energy to fulfill the assignment. Stay on the wall.
The irony is that we ignore Jesus in order to serve Him. He’s standing over there watching us like, “Hey, you forgetting something? You can’t serve Me without Me. It takes Me for you to love Me. It takes Me for you to live for Me. You’re exhausted fighting battles I already won.”
He was meant to be enjoyed. Jesus, I mean. Meant to be the joy of our lives. Our soul’s delight. We fight about Him. Fight over Him. Wave our team banners. Beat each other bloody with our Bibles. Meanwhile there’s Jesus right there beside us, the joy of Heaven unenjoyed on earth.
When I see comments like “I don’t always [or don’t often] agree with Beth Moore” I want to reply “I don’t always agree with her either!” When you’ve been teaching & writing for 3 decades, inevitably there are things you’d no longer say or say that same way. We change & GROW BUT->
Above all, I miss having a literate president.
