Racism is not a difference of opinion.
It is psychological, systemic, spiritual, and physical violence.
From @BleacherReport: @BubbaWallace was overcome with emotion after his fellow @NASCAR drivers pushed his car to the front at Talladega.
“. . . the church cannot make meaningful progress toward racial justice without sustained, intentional efforts to acknowledge black women, our powerful witness, and our contributions to the body of Christ.” —Kathryn Freeman (@KathrynAnnette) https://t.co/rd73JLiI7w
Take a breath, family.
It is traumatizing to be living through a global pandemic and living through the viciousness of racism at the same time.
Racism, alone, is a tragic reality.
Let’s remember each other.
Let’s work for justice, which is both proactive and responsive.
This is very important to me. I’m not proud of what I’m about to say. I bought a treadmill so I wouldn’t have to jog outside in my neighborhood. In my life I’ve been harassed more times then I can remember & I really just wanted a space to run freely...
His name is #AhmadArbery.
Say his name - out loud.
To our children.
To our grandchildren.
To our neighbors.
In our churches.
To your social media followers.
And out of respect for his mourning mother. 😢
We can’t ignore this. It’s wrong & devastating.
"You are a letter from Christ . . . written not with ink but with the Spirit, not on stone but on tablets of human hearts.” 2 Corinthians 3:3
The letter: you. Your lives.
The writer: the Holy Spirit. On behalf of Christ.
The tablet: your hearts.
Spirit>heart>life>impact.
look what @PaulsPiano did & said!
TX & NYC: making music across a divide. Cross-cultural caring is what we need to get through this crisis. Create art with someone who you think is on "the other side" & tag it #RedBlueUnites. There is no “other side.” We are all Americans.
@ThabitiAnyabwil Wow! This is like a letter that was written in the Bible by a disciple to a broken church. You’re words drip with the Holy Spirit and his conviction. May we all learn from your leadership. May the Lord continue to lean on you as you lead us, I pray! Seriously. Lead us. ❤️
@RobertIger During our court proceeding in Los Angeles, I made the point in my @vidangel testimony that where I come from, people talk before they sue each other. We’ve tried to talk many times, and Disney has been unwilling to join in a conversation. https://t.co/EFQ5rMos29
Jesus was not a white, American man.
The U.S. flag is not a symbol for the Church or for Christ.
The National Anthem is not a Christian hymn.
“And He [Jesus] began to teach and say to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’?”
