[Diane Langberg, PhD @DianeLangberg]

We damage the dignity of others when we refuse to wait for them – whether they need to tie their own shoes or they are struggling to find words for the indescribable. We bestow honor on another when we consider him or her worth waiting for.

[Carlos A. Rodríguez @CarlosHappyNPO]

Jesus is the Prince Of Peace
Not your war mascot.

Reject all violence.
Follow Christ.

"God of Love, /we lift up Palestine and Israel — its people, its land, its creatures. /War is a monster that consumes everything in its path. /Peace is a gift shared at meals of memory with Christians, Muslims, and Jews." https://t.co/bruD1k6o2r

[John Dyer ⚡️ @johndyer]

Over the weekend, I taught on church history including John Wesley sending women to preach, and I was struck again by how his defense of this is such a radical departure from 1700 years of theology.

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

We can and we must stand against the violence of Hamas and against the violence of Israel and against the violence of the US… and still believe in freedom for Palestine. We cannot build a peaceful world by killing each other’s children. Violence only begets more violence.

And until every Palestinian and Israeli life is seen as equally precious and treated with mutual love and respect, there will not be peace in Israel.

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

Let’s grieve each Palestinian life lost.
And let’s grieve each Israeli life lost.
Every human being is equally precious and made in the image of God.

Let’s do all we can to work for peace, and for justice.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

The moment we Christians start looking for an authoritarian "strongman" to lead us is the moment we stop looking for the One who leads by washing feet, who rides a donkey instead of a warhorse and who tells his followers to put away their swords and take up their crosses instead.

What does it mean to truly accept others as Jesus did? Join us as we dissect love's enduring influence, from the early church to present day. #Acceptance #Love #Podcast https://t.co/crNjCRTk53

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

A theology rooted in fear results in hostility, aggression, and coercion towards others.

A theology rooted in love results in kindness, humility, and compassion towards others.

How we Christians treat others is the clearest indication of which theology we have.
