@erichoke At least the automatically deduct it. My partner worked at a church for years and they paid him so little we could barley afford to live. Then they threatened to fire him if he didn’t tithe.
If our Christianity makes nationalists feel comfortable and migrants feel unsafe, that is when we can be sure we are being discipled by someone other than Jesus.
Everything broken doesn't have to be completely fixed for us to be completely fine. We can be scared & brave & frail & unbelievably strong all in the same leap of faith. We can be hurt but we don't have to live hurt.
Broken is what people are. Beautiful is what God makes them.
