We follow a refugee Christ.
We worship a God who became flesh on the margins.
When systems separate families, terrorize communities, and take lives, faith demands clarity—not neutrality.
Abolish ICE.

Put it on your sign.

These words from Jesus’ second coming in Matthew 25 should be the cornerstone of our “end times” theology. - @benjamincremer.bsky.social

Buckle up. I think some of you need a reminder: it’s not trans women or trans men that are harming people in the restrooms they use that align with their gender identity - both inside and out. Actual predators will find a way to harm people of all ages if they went to in whatever means they can. /1

“We have to stop attributing the evil actions of humans to a loving God” - @zachwlambert.bsky.social

This. Church, let’s do [so much] better.
Photo of social media post by Zach W. Lambert that says: Everything doesn’t happen for a divine reason. God isn’t orchestrating every earthly event. There are really hard things happening all around us, and I know we want to comfort those who are hurting, but please resist the urge to respond to tragedy with trite platitudes like... “This is all a part of God’s plan.” “Nothing happens outside of God’s will.” “Everything is orchestrated by God for his glory.” These aren’t helpful and they also aren’t true. God is not omnicausal. I believe God is omnipotent, but claiming that God causes all human actions, including evil, is a perversion of sovereignty and incompatible with God’s core characteristic of love. From the opening pages of Genesis we see God allowing humans to make our own choices and go our own way. In doing so, we have often given into the influence of evil and chosen to hurt ourselves, others, and God’s creation. A good deity cannot cause evil. If a deity causes evil, then it is not good. To put it simply: God is either omnibenevolent or omnicausal, but God cannot be both. This doesn’t mean God isn’t working in the brokenness and it doesn’t mean God isn’t redeeming the pain. God doesn’t orchestrate every event, but he does do two things: 1. Enters into the suffering with us through Jesus. 2. Defeats evil with sacrificial love and ultimately repairs the brokenness caused by it. In difficult times like these, let’s place our hope in those truths.

Pro tip: “God is in control” isn’t comforting or relieving to people who have/expect to be harmed by an event/situation. It lacks empathy and is dismissive of their pain/anguish. That is the same as saying “everything happens for a reason” to someone when their child dies of cancer. WWJD? Not that.

The USA has never been a Christian Nation. We are generations of indigenous peoples, immigrants, and those who were enslaved by force w/ diverse cultures, faiths. It is [past] time for churches to ACT, not just pray: to stand up for justice for the “least of these,” to redeem the Christian Church.
A graphic with a quote from Stephen Colbert that says: If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it.”
