A curious new community of mutual learning, focusing on spirituality, connection, and the beatitude way.
Only a warped theology that has God rejoicing at sending people to hell, instead of Jesus giving his life to liberate everyone, could rejoice in the Salvadoran concentration camp: m.youtube.com/watch?v=iJkL...

“We stand for Christian Nationalism, which is an ally of National Socialism. In Italy it is called Fascism, in Germany National Socialism, and in South Africa Christian Nationalism.” John Vorster, Afrikaner politician, during WW2. Cited in The Message, by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

We were promised a re-boot of The Office. Instead we got the current US administration, filled with characters from the Office (Michael, Dwight, Kevin, Creed, Angela, Ryan, Phyllis) but none of the warmth, charm, competency or basic human decency.

So essentially the British Office.

That prison in El Salvador is a working definition of Hell. “Abandon all hope ye who enter here…”

You can see why a certain demographic are really thrilled about it.

Reading the book of Jonah again. Reminded that Jonah was commanded to warn a people who would later destroy his nation.

He didn’t want to because he knew God would have mercy on them if they repented.

God’s mercy is scandalous. If it applies to us, it also applies to our enemy.

Lord have mercy

I suspect Jesus cares less about the Signal thread than he does about his beloved children who were bombed to death, and whose deaths were celebrated by emojis and idolatrous American yeehaw pride.

Fatty Bolger is the Porkins of the LOTR universe.

Plays a vital but underrated role;

Seems like a nice fellow;

Has a body-shaming nickname;

Is relatable.

I feel bad again for Nikola Tesla.

Bonhoeffer published Life Together, a book about authentic discipleship, in Germany, 1939.
Bulgakov published Jacob’s Ladder, a book on angels, in 1929 following his exile from Russia.
We need to think about how to live faithfully in the midst of these (sadly precedented, and presidented) times.

There is no level of depravity he won’t sink to, and none that his followers will not openly endorse.

He is anti-Christ in every meaningful way.

He is a man of lawlessness. True Christ-followers must separate themselves from him, resist him, and pray for his soul.

As Jesus famously said:

“Fight! Fight! Fight!”

Followed by a *Roman salute.*
