When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.
“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14
Love is not just an emotion; it is action. It is the foundation of justice, the source of true strength, and the power that transforms hearts and societies.
As we strive to build the Beloved Community, let us ensure that love guides every word, decision, and action we take.

When we Christians find ourselves elevating kings and ignoring the voices of the prophets who are calling the kings out, that’s when we know we are reading the Bible incorrectly.
Or perhaps, that’s when we know we aren’t actually reading the Bible at all.
@thealfordplea@thomaslhorrocks He was actually replying to your response.
So a rich businessman isn't a part of the ruling class? Nevermind. Don't answer that. If you think only one party is guilty and not the other, then there's no point in continuing the conversation.
@thealfordplea@thomaslhorrocks Where does Thomas suggest it's trump?
And literally the point of the cartoon is that a small ruling class is taking "cookies" from the dispossessed so don't fall for the scapegoating. Look at the plates.
Interesting how it's always "vote according to Biblical values!" until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.
I propose we move from “you can’t be a true Christian if you vote for ________”
to…
You can’t be a true Christian if you don’t follow the Sermon on the Mount.
Trump's defenders say he's not referring to a firing squad. Does that make his remarks acceptable?
Not even close. Even if he "only" wanted his opponent — whom he calls "very dumb" and also wants to put in front of a military commission — to be at the receiving end of hostile fire, we’re confronting inexcusably malicious political language. https://t.co/PmWZqpJLnA
