Instead of being named Immanuel, which means "God with us," it could have been other names with other meanings:
"God against us."
"God opposed to us."
"God mad at us."
But no, it was Immanuel: "God with us."

@SamJuneGozo No

Don't be so quick to jump to the celebration of His resurrection. Take time to pray, reflect, and lament. Remember, there is no Resurrection without Crucifixion; No Easter Sunday without Passion Friday; No empty tomb without the Cross.

“Trauma damages but does not define us” - @JenniferJillS

[Jon Remitera @JonRemitera]

@JenniferJillS The short answer is yes and it also violates the image of God. Submission is always born out of love, not hierarchal obligation

The right relationship always leads to the right rules, but the right rules doesn’t always lead to the right relationship.

The demonization of one thing often requires the deification of something else. If the Bible does not condemn something then neither should we. If God always agrees with you—liking what you like and hating what you hate—there’s a good chance your God is YOU!

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Christianity should feel like, “my love for others continues to deepen,” not “my beliefs are more correct than anyone else’s.”

When we have a clear sense of where we're going, we can be more flexible in how we get there.

[Jon Remitera @JonRemitera]

I’m interested to know how my fellow SDAs would respond to this? 🤔

[Carey Nieuwhof @cnieuwhof]

Are you known for what you're for, or what you're against?

[Jon Remitera @JonRemitera]

@SamJuneGozo I think I can understand that 😊

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

We American Christians will always be tempted to allow our own freedom, liberty, rights, and comfort to dictate how we exercise loving our neighbor.

Jesus will keep asking us to allow the love of neighbor to dictate how we exercise our own freedom, liberty, rights, and comfort.
