@jovial_cynic Its an entirely different framework... justice as setting things right rather than punishment.

[Trey Ferguson @PastorTrey05]

How we talk about God matters. Not only for our proclamation, but for the ethics we embody.

A god whose justice is violence will lead us to construct a violent world.

A God who vanquishes death with life will lead us to construct a world where violence itself is vanquished.

[Trey Ferguson @PastorTrey05]

Jesus is the center of our faith.

Reconciliation is the center of our work.

We will overcome evil with good, darkness with light, and love with hate.

[Trey Ferguson @PastorTrey05]

Good morning, beloved.

Living is for giving.

Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

[Merinda Leach @MerindaLeach]

@jovial_cynic Yes! And he would have found hope there! God has not forsaked the suffering one.... Psalm 22:24 For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.

[Trey Ferguson @PastorTrey05]

Good morning, beloved.

Take a look in the mirror.

You’re looking at a masterpiece.

Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

[Trey Ferguson @PastorTrey05]

Good morning, beloved.

It’s not what you do that makes you worthy of love.

You’re worthy of love because of who you are.

You’re worthy of love just because you are.

Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

[Trey Ferguson @PastorTrey05]

Good morning, beloved.

Darkness can never extinguish light.

It’s always the other way around.

Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

[Trey Ferguson @PastorTrey05]

Actually… the Bible DOES have welfare programs.

Every 7 yrs, skip the ROI & let the poor eat. (Ex 23:10)

Don’t harvest your entire field so that poor people & immigrants can eat. (Lev 19:9-10)

Sell your belongings for mutual aid (Acts 2:44-45)

this Valentine's Day, get your girl what she really wants: in place of a Dark Lord, make her a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Dawn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love her and despair!

But Lord, how should I treat [fill in the blank]?

@SeanBerube4 This is one of my most favorite books, been re-reading it every few years since high school.

@DavidBanicaRO There's an Orthodox podcast I listen to where one of the fathers stated this as exactly what should be understood and my whole brain exploded.

“We can begin a whole new year together,” said Frog. “We will skip through the meadows and run through the woods. In the evenings we will sit right here on this porch and count the stars.”

“You can count them,” said Toad. “I’m going back to bed.”
