Do you know who heaven’s true heroes are? Women who still trust Christ despite being abused and threatened by a rich, powerful, and famous man claiming Christ’s name.
December 21st. Winter solstice. The darkest day of the year.
Every day of the fall has been getting darker towards today.
But tomorrow?
It starts getting lighter. In tiny tiny increments. But light is coming. It doesn't get any darker than today.
Light is coming.
Imma say this one more time for the people in the back:
Just because you are over the pandemic, that does not mean the pandemic is over. Please wear your mask.
“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say "It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem." Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.”
God knows all that is going on in and around you. He is with you. He will not abandon you, even when it feels like you are overcome by storms, Hold fast to Him. He will get you through it.
Reading a Facebook thread where teachers are taking away or banning graphic novels in their classrooms. Please remember that graphic novels are real books. Honoring student choice is so important. You never know who will become a reader when given the opportunity.
Christianity will have power. Not because of a politician but a risen Person. Our religion is rooted in power, yes, but the power of love, hope, justice, grace, liberation, joy, and community. But it loses all power when rooted in fear, oppression, dehumanization, and control.
Our political, cultural and ideological perspective starts with Christian Orthodoxy (&) Orthopraxy. Neither conservatism nor progressivism is the master of our public witness. #ANDCampaign
