Help us Jesus, To live as if you died yesterday, we’re raised today, and coming tomorrow. Take captive our imaginations. And replicate yourself in us, That we might glorify you in all the world - Michael Frost Alan Hirsch #ReJesus

Well I guess I’m gonna stay in spite of The Elon Musk purchase. Please forgive my earlier and somewhat hasty tweet regarding the matter. Part of what makes twitter fun is when you don’t delete the posts you wish you never sent.

"The goal of a Christian life becomes not enlightenment but wholeness – an acceptance of this complicated and muddled bundle of experiences as a possible theater for God’s creative work.” -Rowan Williams, The Wound of Knowledge

““There is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked.”” Isaiah 48:22 NRSV Continue to pray for peace in areas where there is none. Lift up those who pursue it. Be a peacemaker at home, work and play.

“You grew weary from your many wanderings, but you did not say, “It is useless.” You found your desire rekindled, and so you did not weaken.” Isaiah 57:10 NRSV We chase to next dopamine hit when we know it doesn’t last. God save us.

“Although our iniquities testify against us, act, O Lord, for your name's sake; our apostasies indeed are many, and we have sinned against you.” Jeremiah 14:7 NRSV bible.com/bible/2016/jer…

C’mon church, instead of controlling others and helping yourself, do the reverse.

These “pro-life” politicians are killing us. Pro-birth is not pro-life. Life doesn’t begin at conception and end at birth. You can’t be pro-life and ignore gun violence. It is the #1 cause of death for our kids… after they are born.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. Pharma buys off Congress. No action on drug prices. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

..some Christians can’t bring themselves to support gun reforms _the same reason they can’t battle racism beyond condemning individual racists. They have a deficient doctrine of sin & evil, limiting it to the individual. ⁦Esau McCaulley⁩ nytimes.com/2022/06/10/opi…

Love to see this. “They will not need to take wood out of the field or cut down any trees in the forests, for they will make their fires of the weapons; they will despoil those who despoiled them, and plunder those who plundered them, says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 39:10 NRSV

Peace, friends. You are loved. These are difficult days. But Jesus is still King. And you are loved.

I was thinking about this passage today. it has something to say to us. “As Jesus came near and saw the city, he wept over it, saying, “If you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.” Luke 19:41-42
