evangelicals believe that salvation is by faith alone until LGBTQ people have that exact faith

[Mason Mennenga @masonmennenga]

just a reminder that many evangelicals only support israel because they think it will make jesus come back to save them

I'm in a class for chaplaincy. Each week, one of us does a devotion/meditation. I incorporate music in mine because it's played a large part in my formation. This week I played The Rainbow Connection sung by @KermitTheFrog and did a blessing by @KatecBowler That feels right.

I just watched my last sermon and resignation announcement from over a year ago. I forgot how much I love to preach. I am sad now.

Amen and amen!

🗣️ PEOPLE —

We do not have a functioning democracy

We do not have functioning political parties

We do not have an actual presidential contest occurring

We have fascists leading both parties

We have billionaires setting the agenda

We will not resolve this simply by voting

Everywhere. All at once.

i held an atlas in my lap

and whispered

@JoyceBloss I think it was to feel in control and also to prove they were right about God. They needed certainty about their faith. In turn, they missed out on the mystery of the Divine.

I grew up in an end times church. At least once a year, the giant charts and maps would make an appearance so we could do an in-depth study. But I don't remember ever hearing a sermon on justice for the marginalized. My childhood church failed me.

[Fr. Joash P. Thomas @JoashPThomas]

Reminder:

Obsessing over end times tribulation & hell is a luxury - one that people living under oppression (their everyday hell) do not have.

There’s a good reason why western evangelicals are more susceptible to this.

I had a gastric sleeve procedure 2 days ago and am now on full liquids. I discovered cream of bacon soup. If I find the person who created this for @Campbells, I will have zero hesitation kissing them.

@ErinMHarding Question: Does the smoke machine cloud that vision?

@kkdumez So much word salad!

@baptist_news As a Baptist who has written for Baptist News, I am shocked, upset, and disappointed not that you chose to write about @jamesmacdonald, but that you allowed him to paint himself as the victim. Might I suggest a follow-up article with @reachjulieroys?

I have chased my calling to be a pastor to 2 different churches in 2 different states to find myself as an outsider. I don't know what to do with this info. I see others thriving in their pastoral call and am jealous/resentful. I can't help but feel defective.

@ryanbrymer @masonmennenga Not to be confused with the "We affirm the Baptiat Faith and Medsage of 1963" folk.

@RevSarahLocke I love Hagar but I might love Tamar more.
