I’ve lived long enough to know what I want out of life. My aim is to live & love in imitation of Jesus. Though I daily fail, I’m resolute in the pursuit. It is not that I do not care what you think or what that looks like to you. It’s that I care incomparably more what He thinks.
“No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
"Few things are more holy or worshipful than helping others and working towards providing humanity with justice, peace, reconciliation, equity, safety, and empowerment." https://t.co/Qhc7AalBSA via @sojourners#socialjustice
"The easiest thing to do is throw a rock. It's a lot harder to create a stained glass window. I used to get upset at the people who threw rocks but now I'd rather spend my time building the stained glass windows." - Jon

It’s the responsibility of the people of Jesus to take the stand of Jesus. Always. Despite the cost. We plant our feet where He’d plant His. The Gospels reveal what He was like. Our job in this world is to be like Him in this world. Social Justice Warriors? No. Actual CHRISTIANS.
It is not biblical to treat migrants and refugees like animals.
It is not biblical to take children away from their parents.
It is not biblical to ignore the needs of the stranger.
It is not biblical to enforce unjust laws.
Do not use the Bible to justify sin. https://t.co/oApfyC9wJV
People of all races, religions and nationalities work at Sanofi every day to improve the lives of people around the world. While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication.
Why on God’s green earth are we expending untold energy still defending ourselves when we could just repent of placing trust in man to save & champion us, defend our principles & meanwhile keep us privileged & empowered instead of trusting God to help us?How hard is it to repent?
I'm no more attached to the label "progressive" than I am to "evangelical".
I am attached to Jesus.
I know both progressives and evangelicals committed to Jesus. And I know both evangelicals and progressives who aren't.
