@RpsAgainstTrump Does he need to be convicted as an insurrectionist first?

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.

Raise your hand if this story actually surprised you. If so, I’d like to find the rock you’ve been hiding under. It must be mighty big.

@DerwinLGray Something’s haven’t changed, unfortunately…

[Tim Groves @TimGroves80]

Why??
Why is this continuing?
Why do we still celebrate and laud this man and his books and teachings? It’s absolutely despicable. Gods grace is for all - I am glad, because - I can’t even begin to wrap my mind around how to forgive this type of behavior. https://t.co/ti5sWF9HpD

Imagine your grandkids reading all your opinions on if you think a bunch of students are actually encountering God or if they are doing it wrong… while you sit on your sofa staring at your phone hoping someone likes your opinion on someone else experiencing revival💀💀💀 #AsburyRevival

What do you do when you’re late to the second service? You have an impromptu coffee date and go to third service instead! #shorelinecitychurch #HeavenToEarth #ButFirstCoffee @ Cultivar Coffee https://t.co/v8gbWOURtF

Many years ago when we were in our 20s, one of our dearest couple friends (still close) lost a preschooler to cancer. Nearly killed all of us in our circle. The fuller details of the last moments are too sacred for social media but I can’t get a part of it out of my mind this AM.

There is something both peaceful and cathartic about eating dinner around a fire. https://t.co/axHKyMcBeO

@MadDogCrawford @PastorMark Welp, he’s wrong. #SorryNotSorry If you haven’t, you should listen to #RiseAndFallOfMarsHill

@BrimstonedLLC @AnnaIPrimrose1 Damn, talk about weaponizing scripture…

[Tim Groves @TimGroves80]

@libsoftiktok Are we really judging based on appearance? I thought we were better than that as a society?

[Thomas Horrocks @thomaslhorrocks]

Jesus’s cleansing of the temple was far less about defending God’s honor than it was opposing the exploitation of the vulnerable by the religious establishment.

@wfaaweather Winter’s over. Time for spring, I guess.
