Building Spiritual Bridges between old & young, church & community, America & Africa.

W/the craziness and chaos @ the National, State, and Municipal levels, it’s all the more imperative we do what we can at the local,/neighborhood level. Nehemiah could not control geopolitics of his day. But, that did not stop him from building up his community (see Nehemiah 1-8).

Recently, I’ve reached out 2 some at the other of the religious/political spectrum. And, my experience confirms there is no real desire 4 honest, constructive dialogue about how to move towards a better, more inclusive 4 every1, not simply the fans of MAGMA. Hard 2 hope 4 change!

[Anthony Trufant @TRUEBC]

“MAGMA’’s desire 2 return 2 better times rest on revisionist history, which highlights historic privilege of some, but ignores it came at the expense of others, who are yet exploited & dehumanization of others. Until we do so, we can’t have a real constructive convo.

@SteveDeaceShow @theblaze I’ve questioned if we can refrain from shouting down & demeaning the opposition. Instead, can we learn to listen respectfully, openly? God, I believe, has ways for us work through the chaos & bitterness which currently paralyzes the US & further divides Christians.

[Anthony Trufant @TRUEBC]

@SteveDeaceShow @theblaze I detect the sincerity & decency in your commentary. So, I ask: How do we reclaim our unique space in the public square, where believers of varying stripes & views model what it means to demonstrate kingdom values and practices, not simply pushing a particular party line?

[Anthony Trufant @TRUEBC]

@SteveDeaceShow @theblaze I’m a Christian, & I’ve been disappointed w/how Christians, especially Evangelicals, have failed to call out practices, comments, & policies which are hurtful, immoral, &/or unChristian. Will we ever insist on & model higher standards for public discourse & seek common ground?

[Anthony Trufant @TRUEBC]

@SteveDeaceShow @theblaze I share some of your frustration w/how the political spectrum frames arguments. Admittedly, if you don’t agree w/ a point, you are demonized. Yet, I defer on your point that it’s only the Left which is intolerant, inflexible. The Right is, too, which is rarely acknowledged.

Whether we admit it or not, some of us lust after love itself. We lost after everyone/thing, except the God who loves us. Rev. Pam Saxton
