I have a fundamental mistrust of any church that uses background stirring music during sermons. They're attempting to hijack an emotional pathway to convince you of the spirituality of the sermon. True Godly spirit doesn't require constant musical support to reach you. If it doesn't, chances are it's contrived.
Stop deciding for people when they get to show up for you. If I can celebrate with you when life is good, give me the chance to stand by you when life is hard too. That’s part of intimacy, that’s part of partnership❤️
Imagine our disabled brothers and sisters reading your tweets, are you insinuating that their parents made a mistake birthing them?
Because if you follow your logic truthfully, this is where it eventually leads to.
Guys, we need to be careful.
Is it A LOT of work to care for a person with DS? Yes
Is that good enough reason to end a human life? No
What then should we do? Build churches, families and communities that share the burden of care and make life more bearable for those facing significant challenges.
The Christian answer has never been to eliminate the vulnerable because caring for them is costly. The Christian answer has been to bear one another’s burdens.
When Christians remained behind to care for the sick during plagues, they were not choosing the easiest path. They were choosing love.
So what we need is not fewer people who require care, but stronger communities willing to share the burden of care.
