I like theology, LA sports, music (esp guitars). But to quote Dom Toretto, the most important thing is ‘family.’

Trump's attacks on birthright citizenship are grounded in the same racist tropes that defended the slavery of Black Americans & the incarceration of Japanese Americans. We need more leaders like Representative Jayapal to speak out so we don't repeat the darkest chapters of American history. ⬇️

Attacking birthright citizenship while lifting travel restrictions for two men under investigation for human trafficking is par for the course for this administration.
In a country that had not, as the prophet Jeremiah put it, “forgotten how to blush,” this abomination would shock every conscience. We are long past that point. God have mercy.

Apparently people are doing sing-alongs to songs at screenings of Wicked. I find that so annoying when it happens. I remember one time I went to a movie revival and everyone was singing-along to Singing In The Rain. It ruined A Clockwork Orange for me.

One of the first individuals I remember who practiced what we now call ‘deconstruction’ (esp for a white evangelicals). But unlike most deconstruction today which only tears down, Tony aimed to reconstruct our faith towards loving the marginalized. Share your favorite quotes/stories below.
Tony Campolo, sociologist and famed Red Letter Christian, has died
(RNS) — Known as a powerful evangelist and social justice preacher, Campolo had long advocated that Christian faith can transform the world — and people’s everyday lives.

Very next verse, “So that all people on the Earth will be blessed you.” The purpose of the land is to be a blessing and reflect God’s goodness to others. Also, lack of social justice results in Israel being exiled to Babylon - ie they’re removed from the land for not following social justice
Mike Huckabee succinctly lays out his approach to dealing with Israel as Trump's ambassador: "I believe the scripture. Genesis 12: Those who bless Israel will be blessed, those who curse Israel will be cursed. I want to be on the blessing side, not the curse side."
