Little mercies: cooped up writing a paper I should’ve completed long ago, but the whole kitchen staff at this coffee shop is speaking Spanish and it reminds me why I’m doing school to begin with ❤️💕🙏 #thankful
With great sadness we mourn the loss of TGC co-founder Timothy Keller, 72, who died today, more than three years after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Timothy J. Keller, husband, father, grandfather, mentor, friend, pastor, and scholar died this morning at home. Dad waited until he was alone with Mom. She kissed him on the forehead and he breathed his last breath. We take comfort in some of his last words...
"How prescient and poignant then that at the heart of the Christian faith lies the historic testimony of women. The gospel of Jesus Christ requires us to believe the word of women. The Easter message itself—“Christ is risen!”—is the testimony of women."

Other elements may vary but I believe to my bones this is the bottom line in every situation where a Christian leader has lived in gross hypocrisy, carrying on a double life, for years on end:
They are out of fellowship with Jesus. Period. YOU CANNOT SUSTAIN THAT IN FELLOWSHIP.
What I’m trying to say to you is this: be brave. This is about human decency. Dignity. Fairness. Rightness. JUSTICE. Toughen up and accept you’re going to be disliked for something. Make it something that counts. Let’s be the generation the intimidators can’t silence or tire out.
“You’re a liberal!” (Lib’s even better)
Actually I’m a Jesus follower called to a gospel way too generous, glorious, graceful & everlasting to fit in the self serving confines of 2 parties.
“You’ve been brainwashed.” My brain needed washing of anyway unlike the way of Christ.
Fellow whites who want Black Americans & PoC to receive equal justice & for egregious white supremacy to be dismantled, speak up. Don’t be fragile. You know what’s right. Expect:
“You’re causing division!” Eye roll. “What about abortion??” I’m pro-ALL-life, conception to coffin.
I've officially finished my first poetry project! Many women lent me their stories so that I could make this collective piece- thank you to each of you! Any and all feedback welcomed :) https://t.co/ZbS2qHYavi
