@shotheekwe Congratulations!

@Sassafrass_84 How do you know he was an illegal? Many Americans have different heritages. By the way they are not called illegals. They are called undocumented.

@MatthewSoerens It’s awesome!

If you paid $1 in federal income taxes, you paid more than:

Amazon in 2017-2018
AT&T in 2021
Target in 2022
T-Mobile in 2018-2020 & 2022
Dish Network in 2020 & 2022

We can no longer tolerate a rigged tax code that allows corporations to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

Before we can expect to see the lives of others changed, we must become more credible Christians first. People are not attracted to arrogance, anger, hypocrisy and judgement - nor are they attracted to a religion in which its adherents don’t practice their own beliefs.

@hitefield @ShaneClaiborne Our evangelical faith is doomed then.

@Fweedom5 @JoeBiden We are trying to move forward not backward. Take your blinders off

@LeadingReport Who has ever heard of the Leading Report? When The NY Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, or the LA Times writes about it - then let’s talk. For now this is propaganda

For hundreds of years, Jewish people have been the victims of horrific violence. That historic backdrop of pain and trauma does not justify the crushing apartheid policies they’ve imposed on Gaza and the West Bank for over 50 years… but it does help explain it.

For decades the Palestinians have endured daily doses of terror, discrimination and abuse from the State of Israel. That does not by any means justify the violence of Hamas… but it does help explain it.

The current violence of both Hamas and the State of Israel create the conditions for more violence, adding fuel to an already combustible fire.
For many people the evil we are seeing daily by both the State of Israel and Hamas makes more killing justifiable. But violence only leads to more violence. Hatred begets more hatred. We cannot build a better future by killing each other’s families.

Jesus was right - if we live by the sword we die by the sword. Violence is a dead end. Love is the only way forward, even the audacious love for our enemies.

Love requires treating the person on the other side of the wall as nothing short of sacred, a child of God made in the image of God.

Killing babies is terrorism, whether it is done with bombs or with guns or knives - it is evil. Violence is always evil, no matter what flag it’s wrapped up in. Let us continue to work for peace… and do all we can to interrupt the war… and grieve every life lost… and commit ourselves to building a world where every person is sacred.

@Sallyroberts @ShaneClaiborne Did Jesus kill even when they were about to kill him?

These 2 things motivate most of the dysfunction in our world - the fear of poverty-not having enough, and the lust for wealth- the need to have more. These two tendencies motivate crime, violence and a survival of the fittest mentality. They lead to inequity and injustice. 1/

@JamesMartinSJ I agree so why don’t you become a Protestant so you can perform gay marriage?

This is the final statement of Michael Tisius who was executed tonight in Missouri. Take a minute to read it.

The death penalty doesn’t heal the wounds of violence. It just mirrors the violence & creates new wounds. It’s time to stop killing to try to show that killing is wrong.

Jesus called us to feed the hungry so it is especially significant that a Christian Organization - World Vision - is the World Food Program’s largest implementing partner. Proud of World Vision’s excellence in putting faith into action.

[Erik Reed @ErikReed]

Churches be like:

We’re looking for a pastor. He needs a masters degree, doctorate preferable. Must be a great leader with organization skills and ability to cast vision. Must be a dynamic communicator, but able to counsel. Able to build and lead a team.

Pray for 16-year-old Ralph Yarl in Kansas City, MO.

Shot in the head, for accidentally ringing the wrong doorbell. Then shot again.

Pray for healing. And for justice. #RalphYarl
