Do justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly.

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

I’m reminded of what Dr. King said after four little girls were murdered in an Alabama church: “we must be concerned not merely about who murdered them, but about the system, the way of life, the philosophy which produced the murderer.”

History has its eyes on you.

[Kaitlin B Curtice @KaitlinCurtice]

When the brokenness of the world makes you tired, run to the forest.
Remember how small you are.
Watch leaves change.
Listen to acorns fall from the heights.
Let the wind and the water talk to you about what it means to heal.
Let The Creator show you benevolent, secret places.

@LandryRev I believe you’ve been hacked by your two year old. 😂

Talk about living in the upside down: many churches find peacemaking “controversial,” plain talk on race “too political,” caring for God’s creation “liberal.” This is the fruit of a people who have been told that calling Jesus Lord matters only to your soul, not to your world.

[Rachel Held Evans (1981-2019) @rachelheldevans]

This is why, “preach the gospel, but stay out of politics” is an inherently contradictory demand. The gospel isn’t partisan, but it is deeply and profoundly political. https://t.co/hzfL8invj0

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

In case anyone has forgotten:

Child abuse is a sin.
Sexual abuse is a sin.
Sexual harassment is a sin.
Racism, and white supremacy, is a sin.
Jesus asks us to welcome the stranger.
Jesus asks us to love the poor.

There are indeed two sides to these issues:

Good and evil.

The Bible on "thoughts and prayers" when accompanied by inaction. https://t.co/V1DebdthTE

It's tragic that we've normalized violence & mass shooting in our country. This is not normal. This is not okay. Be sad but also be angry.

[Eugene Cho @EugeneCho]

We grieve 4 Sutherland Springs. As we lift them in our thoughts/prayers, we need the moral courage to do something to prevent this insanity.

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

As you battle the beast, be careful not to become the beast.
Don't let the haters make you hate.
When they give you hell, give them heaven.

[Richard Rohr @RichardRohrOFM]

If you can face your mortality and let go of your small self early on, you'll experience #heaven here & now. https://t.co/rZ0n9XwtEM

When I always ask God for something BIG and important to do, I am rejecting the life God has given to me
