Husband to @TheLadyCarp , dad to @jclairecarp and Cole. The Son of Man came to serve not to be served. We should do the same.

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

Peace, friends.

You are loved.

These are difficult days.

But Jesus is still King.

And you are loved.

@ShaneClaiborne I could think of a lot better ways to spend $9500 if I had it. 😏

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

..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. ⁦@esaumccaulley⁩ https://t.co/ZZBCWOXcoq

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.

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.

[drew 🙏🏻🇪🇹🇸🇻🇺🇦🇦🇫🇲🇲🇺🇸🌏🙏🏻 @DrewCarpenter]

@SenBobCasey How about dumping the filibuster to reduce the easy access to and ridiculous proliferation of guns?
NRA backed politicians aren’t going to budge no matter the death toll so get it done w/out them. Pass quality voting rights legislation while you’re at it. Thanks

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

“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

What are you praying about today? https://t.co/r1QwnL6LfO

[drew 🙏🏻🇪🇹🇸🇻🇺🇦🇦🇫🇲🇲🇺🇸🌏🙏🏻 @DrewCarpenter]

““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.

"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.”
