You cannot carry a gun while carrying the cross of Jesus. The narrow way of Jesus requires us to disarm ourselves & reject the idolatry of violence.

For any of my LGBTQ+ siblings out there who might be longing for God's love: There are a lot of people out there trying to separate you from God because of who you are. Just remember, they are part of the "anything else in all creation," and they can't take God's love from you.

“No one cares about your special interest—” I do. Tell me all about how chickens are descended from dinosaurs and how certain figs are made from the remains of dead wasps. Life is so strange and the world is so huge and we have so much to learn, but only so much time.

In every majority-Christian nation, the systems are set up to ensure those with the most resources receive the most care and support. We're so accustomed to this that we may even consider it "natural." But this is not how Christian sacred texts want social orders designed...

and if my only “career goal” is to drink mulled claret and eat strawberries with friends, reading French books in translation while the mist rises slowly over Oxford? what then?

If your struggle for liberation stops at your own, you aren't fighting for liberation you are fighting to be included among the oppressors and your place there will always depend on their seeing you as useful to the oppression of others.

This is just an example of how much we can change someone's life if we pool our resources together. I know we can make this happen.

“When male pastors call on us to recover something called ‘biblical manhood’ I suspect they're not thinking of the silent, loyal Joseph submitting himself humbly to his wife’s God-given calling.” - Michael Frost 🖼️ by Matt Chinworth

Today, let us remember Martin Luther King as he TRULY was: A Black radical anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, revolutionary Christian internationalist who was deemed an enemy of the State and assassinated for his radical work. Just about everything else is a lie.

Literally me, watching the final episode of Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1. 💘😍🤗🥰💖 #BRIDGERTON #polin

Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord have mercy. Father, remind us that we are all made in your image. Jesus, who took the brunt of this world's violence on yourself, be with us now. Spirit, prick the consciences of the bloodthirsty.

Christian nationalism: “Fight!” Christ: “Blessed are the peacemakers” Christian nationalism: “America First!” Christ: “for God so loved the world” Christian nationalism: “mass deportation!” Christ: “Welcome the stranger” Christian nationalism: “U.S.” Christ: “Us”

Walz is an incredible choice by VP Harris. I'm so energized by this ticket and I didn't think I could be more excited for Harris than I already was. I Just donated right now and I'm so excited to work to get these two elected.

It’s always “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the +3,000 verses about using wealth in ways that prioritize the poor, the immigrant, the vulnerable, the indebted, and the oppressed.

This message is one of the most important ones that I can be sharing right now as a Christian. There is nothing right about Christian Nationalism. It is a cancer on our society and a perversion in every way of the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.

This thread is such a good and important read right now. Anyone who is more concerned with the idea of being too merciful instead of too oppressive is missing the standard set by Jesus who told us to "be merciful as your Father is merciful." (Luke 6:36)

I know so many atheists who are so much more Christlike than any MAGA member. Because atheism does't require rejecting the actual teachings of Jesus. MAGA does.
