Dru Hill never gave us the other 2 steps

I grew up in white evangelicalism. They taught me that: - we’re all equal in Christ - anyone is welcome at church - we should uplift the oppressed - every religion deserves freedom - the words of Jesus must be taken seriously But when I planted a church centered on these

Even in a country that calls itself Christian, true Christianity still stands out.

It’s heartbreaking when the death toll of Palestinians—especially children and women—is minimized because the numbers are supposedly inflated. I mean, how many “legitimate” reports of deaths are required before compassion is given towards those who suffer?

One of the biggest ways we Christians communicate that we aren’t interested in following Jesus is when we allow a politician to convince us to fear, despise, and demonize our neighbors rather than love them.

“The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you. They are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor. They don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct.

NDAs have no place in the church. In fact, if your church uses an NDA, that's a clear sign to get out of there ASAP.

In the face of brutal oppression (slavery, jim crow, the lynching tree, segregation) the Black church has consistently clung to the love of Christ rather than the hatred of its oppressors. This love ethic has made it one of the greatest voices for justice and freedom in our world

Pay increases for teachers should always be a winning bipartisan issue. Our teachers are true heroes, grossly underpaid and under appreciated for molding and nurturing our youth.

“The way of the Christian leader is not the way of upward mobility in which our world has invested so much, but the way of downward mobility ending on the cross.” ~Henri Nouwen, In the Name of Jesus

The Bible is more communal than individual. Jesus teaches us to pray "Our Father" not "My Father." Paul uses the phrase, "our Lord" 53 times, & "my Lord" only 1 time. "Jesus is my personal savior" is not found in Scripture. We are the people of God. We belong to each other.

In the same way that Christians see pornography as a treacherous act that doesn’t cause violence, we need to view taming our tongue as a serious discipline in this social media age. Both steal and kill in ways beyond our comprehension.
