As you start this week, remember that 1 in 3 #youngpeople have one or fewer adults in their life they feel they can trust. A simple phone call to check in, a text message, a letter can all make a difference.

If our good theology keeps producing bad behavior, it’s not as good as we thought it was.

Alongside by @DrewHillNC brought me to tears taster than any other book I can think of. 13 pages in and the chapter prayer got to me.

Don't make unity an idol.

Sometimes God's truth and righteousness require you to pick a side.

[Thomas Horrocks @thomaslhorrocks]

As a Christian pastor who studies and teaches the Bible professionally, I can confidently say that firing tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of peaceful protestors in order to take a photo holding a Bible in front of a church is absolutely antithetical to the way of Jesus.

[J. A. Medders @drmedders]

When that Bible says to not use the Lord’s name in vain—this is what it means.

Looting is wrong

AND

Blaming the wrong people for looting is wrong

AND

Using the wrongness of looting to drown out discussions about what preceded the looting is wrong

AND

Reducing discussions about race & riots to the same old "left vs right" talking points is wrong.

Here is a gift to white people who insist they know what Martin Luther King Jr. would have said.

A thread

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

“If you, as a White person, would be happy to receive the same treatment that our Black citizens do in this society, please stand.”

[Thabiti Anyabwile @ThabitiAnyabwil]

We have reached the point where we not only have to protest police misconduct but also have to police our protests against the misconduct of usurpers who do not represent us.

Tamir Rice’s murderer isn’t in jail, Mike Brown’s murderer isn’t in jail, Trayvon Martin’s murderer isn’t in jail, Eric Garner’s murderer isn’t in jail, Sandra Bland’s murderers aren’t in jail, Philando Castile’s murder isn’t in jail

[Thomas Horrocks @thomaslhorrocks]

Until we’re as angry about the conditions that led to these riots as we are about the riots themselves, we’ll continue to miss the point and mistake the symptom for the disease.

Riots are just the symptom.

Systemic racial injustice is the disease.

[Clayton King @Clayton_king]

Young Pastors...

Be very careful that in your attempt to be authentic and real, you don’t give permission to your people to feel fine about their sin and call that “grace”

God PARDONS sin or He PUNISHES sin.

What he does not ever do is CONDONE SIN.

[Daniel Beaulieu @danielpbeaulieu]

In my short experience, it’s much more difficult to convince someone to do something different than it is to convince someone to do something specific that’s different. People don’t like having their boundaries moved before they know where they’re being moved to.

@officialmattsny Props to the guy teeing up all the balls that quickly too. I swear when I tee up it looks like my first day with hands. Baby giraffes are more coordinated.

“Then Peter opened his mouth and said: ‘In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.’”

I have a hope in death that shapes my life.
Psalm 16:8-10

[Jeremy Treat @JeremyTreat5]

These are unprecedented times for us.

But the church has endured plagues, wars, poverty, & oppression for generations.

We pray psalms written in caves.
We preach letters penned in prison.
We cling to truths revealed in the wilderness.

New circumstance, same God.

He's got us.
