In this moment, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that our very lives may depend on our ability to regain our willingness to talk and listen to one another. Charlie Kirk’s certainly did. https://t.co/SVkmkR0DHr
We’ll never forget the lives we lost on September 11, 2001. Let’s continue to honor their memories, and the courage of our first responders who put themselves in harm’s way.
“Do you feel the world is broken?
We do.
Do you feel the shadows deepen?
We do.
But do you know that all the dark won't stop the light from getting through?
We do.
Do you wish that you could see it all made new?
We do.”
As a Christian, I am deeply troubled by Trump. But I’m even more troubled by the Christians who support him.
If you decided to come up with a worldview that is the direct opposite of the Gospel of Jesus, you couldn’t do much better than Trump.
Jesus blesses the peacemakers.
Trump blesses the warmakers.
Jesus blesses the poor.
Trump blesses the rich.
Jesus blesses the meek.
Trump blesses the strong.
Jesus welcomes refugees.
Trump deports them.
Follow Jesus. Not Trump.
Seeing a member of my local congregation share a video of a room full of people singing How Great Thou Art, following the victory of a rapist and convicted felon, has to be the single most disgusting sense of Christian Nationalism I’ve experienced personally.
