@BillOReilly Your opinion is meaningless!

[Soong-Chan Rah @profrah]

Do white evangelicals who demonize critical race theory actually know what it is?

[Xavier Piña @drxpina]

@DudeInTheLou That’s what grieves my heart...not being able to engage in that type of conversation. So it’s sometimes better to part ways. It is not right to dehumanize and destroy with language.

#RootedCCDA @iamccda - As a first time attendee to CCDA, I feel compelled to remind all of us about the essence of reconciliation as envisioned by Dr. John Perkins. Reconciliation seeks to restore into right relationship not to destroy or devalue others. LOVE!

[Xavier Piña @drxpina]

@DudeInTheLou Again...it is their choice. It is based on their instanding of reconciliation and their desire for right relationship. If folks are unwilling to reconcile there is no commitment to make things right. All involved miss the opportunity for healing at that moment.

[Xavier Piña @drxpina]

@DudeInTheLou It is their responsibility when power is now used to not enter into a reconciliatory process for right relationship.

[Xavier Piña @drxpina]

@DudeInTheLou Correct it is understood. Jesus calls us to live a more excellent way. To negate and not be willing to engage in reconciliation for right relationship becomes an oppressive process as well. It creates more victims.

[Xavier Piña @drxpina]

@DudeInTheLou That’s understandable. I take to heart that we are agents of reconciliation. That’s not a passive role nor is it something to impose on others. However the conviction is that folks are in right relationship.

[Xavier Piña @drxpina]

@DudeInTheLou That’s understandable. Folks need to be committed to wanting to resolve the matter in reconciliation. I pray that in our pursuit of biblical justice we do not create additional victims through the dehumanization of others. Amen!

[Xavier Piña @drxpina]

@DudeInTheLou Amen!

[Xavier Piña @drxpina]

@DudeInTheLou I really enjoyed the conversation. Thank you Sir!

[Xavier Piña @drxpina]

@DudeInTheLou So reconciliation not only benefits me...it benefits us. We are the body of Christ. Folks need to be willing and there are times a mediator is needed. However the result of genuine reconciliation leads to true healing for all involved.

[Xavier Piña @drxpina]

@DudeInTheLou That’s not me being he center...that’s me challenging ourselves that reconciliation is a healing process for all.

[Xavier Piña @drxpina]

@DudeInTheLou I think we reflect more the kingdom of God when we are in right relationship with each other.

[Xavier Piña @drxpina]

@DudeInTheLou What keeps you from commenting on that? Should that be our work as Christians that people be in right relationship with God and in right relationship with other?

[Xavier Piña @drxpina]

@DudeInTheLou No Sir! We all benefit when folks are in right relationship. How can you not be in agreement with being in right relationship.
