Jesus laying down his life out of love for the world rather than using all cosmic and political power to force the world to obey him will forever be the greatest critique of any Christian movement that seeks to secure power in order to ensure that others conform to their will.

Notice how it's always "America was founded on Christian principles!" until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

When we Christians become more concerned about being too empathetic and too compassionate than we are about being too judgmental and too severe, we need a grand reversal.

Jesus’ harshest words in the gospels were directed towards the authoritarians, not the gentle or the meek.

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.

If our Christianity causes us to say, “see how God can use King David even when he did horrid things!” to justify people in power we like instead of “Where is the prophet Nathan of our time who has been sent by God to call King David out for all his horrid actions?!” we need new theology.

Bright light will always banish the dark...pass it on 🧡

"Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes"

On the "other" platform, I didn't do much other than "like" tweets, cause I didn't want to attract the attention of bots or invite drama into my space.
BUT I do care about having sincere dialogue with others about how we solve problems and make the world a better place. Hoping for bluer skies here
