Had the privilege of taking part in a workshop on understanding & writing laments in the style of the psalms.
Noted that our laments reflect our theology. What the psalmists & prophets grieved reflect God's heart.
How does what we grieve and what do not grieve reflect our hearts? 💔

I've changed the way I relate to my kids (young Millennial & Gen Z) because the world they're entering as adults is vastly different from what me & my wife (GenX) entered.
We have to change the way we think about finances, jobs/careers, relationships, and faith in order to better care for them.

This 🧵 is gold. It is laughable, and yet it's also depressing. This is a real trial in a real federal court.🥪💥 😅😭💀
Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.
Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.
'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

We grew up poor. I don't know how we would've managed without government assistance.
My parents both worked hard but struggled to make ends meet without help.
Please see the shared humanity & imago Dei in people needing assistance.
Don't let your hearts be hardened toward your neighbors.💛

The sin of the sluggard is seeking prosperity by another's labor.
He mocks God by refusing to eat by the sweat of his brow.
Scripture also speaks of the poor in the land. Their poverty is not a moral failure or a sin.
God's care for the poor is wisely not linked to morality tests.📜💛

Saddened at the devastation caused by hurricane Melissa.
The death toll, the destruction of livelihoods and communities is crushing. Exhausted at the thought of relief work and rebuilding.
Lord, be near, esp through your people. Stir up in us compassion and empathy. Keep our hearts soft.

Per Torah, good laws are righteous & just (Deut 4:5-8).
Laws serve the care, protection, & thriving of humanity - all humanity.
Laws serve people, not the other way around.
Laws used for the exercise of power or discrimination are not righteous or just. Believers should work to change such laws.

Mavs are lost on offense & weak on defense.
The Kidd no PG offense is stagnant & disorganized.
D was supposed to be a strength, but the Spurs & Wiz seemed pretty comfortable scoring on them.
Not too early to worry.

Those who think the Bible rigidly teaches obedience to human laws misunderstand God's heart.
God's law reveals his character & care/love for humanity.
When a law is unjust, the LORD changes it (Num 27).
We should not obey unjust laws or human agendas counter to Jesus' way. (Acts 4). 📜

When blessings overflow, thanksgiving is organic and natural.
In hard seasons, it takes intentional reflection to see all the ways in which God is loving, faithful, kind, good, and gracious.
God is always there with me. Jesus is the friend who carries me through. These truths keep me anchored.⚓

While many Christians can articulate a theologically-informed view of who the Spirit is and what he does, many don't allow him to actually do what he has been sent to do.
Much of our power/control issues is rooted in desiring to change & control people and thus usurping the Spirit's role.

Meritocracy is the subtle poison that prevents many American Christians from fully embracing the depths of grace, mercy, and love.
We can discuss these in the abstract & feign wonder, but the way we address sin & treat others tells an uncomfortable truth about a thirst for judgment & condemnation.
