Notes on the early church from “Letter to Diognetus”

Doesn’t sound very Christian Nationalist of them.

Please put “champion for the undervalued and vulnerable, to the point it irked some religious folk” on my tombstone.

“Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them… the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Happy Remembrance Day, Oskar Schindler - a man who showed the power of clinging to decency and compassion in an unspeakably inhumane culture.

That recipe can lead ordinary people to perform extraordinary heroism - like saving 1200+ lives.

May our faith create the same kind of action.

“What is it to be a companion of Jesus today? It is to engage, under the standard of the cross, in the crucial struggle of our time: the struggle for faith and that struggle for justice which it includes.”

“When we are really honest with ourselves we must admit that our lives are all that really belong to us. So it is how we use our lives that determines what kind of men we are…I am convinced that the truest active courage, the strongest act of manliness is to sacrifice ourselves for others”

“Christ seeks from us deeds not words. Devotion [is]not sentimental but practical. If the Christian faith has no power to restore or recreate the human will,leading it to deeds of unselfish service,then it stands self-condemned”

“Each one according to his means should take care to be at one with everyone else, for the more on is united to his neighbor, the more he is united with God.”

On this day in 1831 a mere stone’s throw from where I live, Nat Turner led a slave revolt that lasted 4 days, killing 55 in the process.

He did it because slavery was bad.

May we have the same spine and courage when fragile folks in power try to pretend otherwise.

My wife and I have wildly different life expectancies due to her degenerative conditions, so the song “If We Were Vampires” has long been special to us.

But it had proved elusive as a muse… until this month.

On this day in 1943, Franz Jägerstätter was beheaded in prison after conscientiously objecting to fighting for Hitler.

“Christ too, demands a public confession of our faith, just as the Führer does from his followers.”

Give us courage to confess your name,
And go with you against the grain.

“Those with whom Jesus identified himself are regarded by society as misfits. Jesus is that person who is hungry. Jesus is that person who is confused&naked. Wouldn’t it be extraordinary if we all discovered that? The face of the world would be changed”

“Today our prime educational objective must be to form men-for-others… men who cannot conceive of love of God which does not include love for the least of their neighbors; men completely convinced that love of God which does not issue in justice for men is a farce.”

Much love to Jon Bellion for the album “Father Figure,” and for “Don’t Shoot” specifically. It plays like an anthem for parents & advocates of special needs, non verbal kids like my son. I love it so much that I made this oil painting on a 24x36 canvas to celebrate the song & my 👦🏾

“It is a bigger miracle to eject a passion from your own body than it is to eject an evil spirit from another’s body. It is a bigger miracle to be patient and refrain from anger than it is to control the demons which fly through the air.”
