Christian theology is not simply about thinking a certain way, but living as people formed in the way of love, justice, and humility.

[Holy Post Media @HolyPost_Media]

It’s entirely possible to know the truth & have sound theology, yet work against the Kingdom of God. The true sign of belonging to Jesus is the fruit of the Spirit manifested in our lives. From @skyejethani's article "The Land of Small Men" (https://t.co/2bSi6jSxqO)

[Rich Stearns @RichStearns]

To those who want America to be a Christian nation-some advice: STOP spewing anger and judgment, stop weaponizing politics. And START helping the poor, welcoming the stranger, serving others and acting with compassion, empathy and integrity. In other words-act more like Jesus.

[Holy Post Media @HolyPost_Media]

Empathy is not toxic. It's what leads us to see the humanity in others & advocate on behalf of their dignity.

"This idea that seeing things from the perspective of the oppressed is going to lead you always to moral  danger instead of moral  insight to me runs counter to the history of the Black Church and counter to what we see in the Bible." @esaumccaulley 🎙️The Esau McCaulley Podcast

Here’s a few signs that Christians might be caught in the grip of Culture Wars

[The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center @TheKingCenter]

“Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial” #SundayWithKing #MLK

This is good 💯

Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital.
“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...
They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports...
It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.
A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar...
In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist...
A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care...
A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor...
It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.
The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.
A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.
This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.
Do not criticize your body too much.
Do not complain excessively.
Do not lose sleep over bills.
Make sure to hug your loved ones.
Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.
Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.
You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect...
Listen, perfection does not exist.
A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.
Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.
So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.
Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.
Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.
Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!
And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.”
—Pope Francis

“The white man’s dollar is his god…the appeal to the white man’s pocket has ever been more effectual than all the appeals ever made to his conscience.”

Saint Ida B. Wells is one of our great historical anti-Mammon warriors.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

We want the warhorse.
Jesus rides a donkey.

We want the eagle.
The Holy Spirit descends as a dove.

We want to take up swords.
Jesus takes up a cross.

We want the roaring lion.
God comes as a slaughtered lamb.

We keep trying to arm God.
God keeps trying to disarm us.

[Holy Post Media @HolyPost_Media]

If we say we want to help people and then oppose legislation that will do so, maybe we just don't actually want to help people. @philvischer

Today on 🎙️Holy Post 656, we unpack the defunding of USAID and whether the White House's claims of waste & fraud are legitimate.

[Holy Post Media @HolyPost_Media]

Bishop Mariann Budde gave us a masterclass in holding political leaders to account. In her sermon at the National Cathedral, she didn't prescribe policy, but proclaimed what Christians believe & called for those values to be upheld. More of this! @kaitlynschiess 🎙️Holy Post 654

“Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them, and the social conditions that cripple them is a dry-as-dust religion.” #MLK

Faith that ignores injustice is empty. Let’s confront the systems that create poverty, inequality, and suffering. It’s time to move beyond words and take action to transform our communities.

Faith in action! Make sure you join us this King Holiday Observance, January 7–20, 2025, as we push the needle forward with #MissionPossible: Protecting Freedom, Justice, and Democracy in the Spirit of #Nonviolence365. Through dynamic events, thought-provoking conversations, and community engagement, we will honor the legacy and work to build a more just and equitable world.

The degree to which we love our enemies indicates the true measure of our spiritual maturity.

I think a mature Christian is someone who is very difficult to offend.
