Ending prayers with "In Jesus's name" doesn't mean anything if the content of the prayer doesn't reflect Jesus's character.

Seems pretty clear to me that a US soldier and his wife deceived and manipulated an Afghan couple and kidnapped their baby. This story is horrifying, and I just really hope the Afghan couple gets their baby back!!! apnews.com/article/afghan-ba…

If they talk about Jesus, but look nothing like Jesus, they are using Jesus, not following Jesus.

Without repentance, “reconciliation” is manipulation.
Without accountability, “forgiveness” is marketing.
Without justice, “unity” is crowd control.

Kindness matters—but kindness does not equal justice.
Civility counts—but civility is not the humane response to injustice, justice is.
Love is essential—but love is not a passive, weeping bystander. Love puts in work.

I don’t usually be up in mediocre Christianity’s business, BUT I need it to be known that millions of people over generations understood that slavery was wrong… it was THOSE WHO WERE ENSLAVED. Not to mention the tons of writings of enslavers who knew it was a moral evil.

The crisis w/the US church has almost nothing to do w/being liberal or conservative; it has to do w/giving up the faith & discipline of our baptism & settling for a common, generic US identity that is part patriotism, part consumerism, part violence & part affluence

One of the great scandals of the gospels is this:
God is free to show mercy to those we deem are outside the bounds of receiving it.

In Tennessee, a small predominately Black town is poised to get a huge economic boost from the construction of a big Ford factory. Then the state government gave them an ultimatum: dissolve your town charter, or we will seize control of your finances. tennesseelookout.com/2022/03…

Public Service Announcement for now and for all time:
GOOGLING TO CONFIRM YOUR ASSUMPTIONS IS NOT RESEARCH!

Stare in the face what some of you are saying:
MY RIGHTS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR LIFE. SORRY, NOT SORRY.
If you’re not going to get vaccinated, for the love of God, PUT ON A MASK IN PUBLIC PLACES WITH VULNERABLE PEOPLE.
Go ahead & unfollow me. I don’t care. FOLLOW JESUS.

If we are in Christ, it is unconscionable for us to in any way politicize this virus. What on earth are we doing??? Our sides are not more important than lives. We are Jesus people called to serve sacrificially. For the love of God, we gotta love our neighbors. Even our enemies!

It is impossible to be increasing in our love for God and simultaneously increasing in our contempt for others. When our speech is saturated with contempt, our hearts are revealed.
