Finishing up @kevinwhector's excellent book in a beautiful spot, and being encouraged to think about the practices we inherit from our fellow Christians and the wisdom they contain. Definitely something I will sit with for a while!
With Roe v. Wade potentially being overturned, many are talking about the need of Christians to step up and help women and children. I've been a single mother, and here are some ways I think you can help single parents and women facing unplanned pregnancies: 1/
Here are three things that need to be addressed immediately: 1. Unpaid maternity leave. Compare the US with every other modernized country and think about the options a single mom actually has if she is having a baby.
This is the money point in this excellent thread re J&JW and its recent (continuing) critics. Du Mez isn't claiming to disprove any theological tenets by showing their social entanglement—but her book means we should probably check our work a few times.
1) The responses to this show the limitations of Twitter for theological engagement: no context, no nuance… Bavinck actively campaigned against poverty for explicitly Christian reasons & said the OT was written from the perspective of the oppressed. He even said (to much
The Christian life is not meant to only be a growth in being less legalistic, less "law-ish," as it is often portrayed, but also a growth in constructive holiness!
It really is imperative that this generation of Jesus followers distinguish between legalism and the spiritual disciplines. I keep reading currently published books that talk about nearness to God & I’m like, “Yes!!!” I get so encouraged and built up in my spirit & then they get
Yes. Start by realizing that the vast majority of survivors were forced into public disclosures because no one they told privately, would do the right thing. Realize that public advocates do this at significant cost to themselves because almost no one else will. (thread)

If the hungry man does not attain to faith, then the guilt falls on those who refused him bread. —Bonhoeffer
Easter *is* the reality, and that the awesome structures of pomp and power are in the process of disintegration at the moment of their greatest strength. --Bayard Rustin
Whenever we are reluctant to assist the poor, let us place before our eyes the Son of God, to whom it would be base sacrilege to refuse any thing. John Calvin
"God has promised to give to his Son the heathen for his inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for his possession: and in that promise this land is included. Christianity shall one day have sway even in Negro-hating America..." -- Francis Grimke
Both the Christ, and also just as much his disciples after him as the prophets before him, invariably took sides *against* those who were powerful and living in luxury, and *for* the suffering and oppressed. —Abraham Kuyper
Jesus is not safely confined in the first century. He is our contemporary, proclaiming release to the captives and rebelling against all who silently accept the structures of injustice. James Cone
The place of the church is not in the seats of the establishment but in the marching columns of the protesters who contend that as Jesus was crucified outside the wall of the city, so the place of the Christian must always be on the side of its victims.
