Now the green blade riseth, from the buried grain...
Love has come again, like wheat that springeth green.
Holding out hope for the renewal of love, compassion, and civic responsibility in the American church.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.
Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause for all their problems, rather than the people in the most powerful positions in their country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead.

Today, a federal judge blocked a Texas mandate to post the Ten Commandments in classrooms from taking effect in a few school districts.
Faith isn’t something the government can force on kids in a classroom. This ruling is temporary as the legal battle continues.

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."
