I came to pray.

I saw a 1,000 year old tree last week, and could not help but thank God for creating this marvelous and resilient world. It would be an act of evangelism to future generations to ensure they encounter ancient trees. Yes, plant churches, but plant some trees too.

My 12 year old son is officially hooked on @davidbazan and Pedro the Lion records. He's learning as many songs as he can on guitar and I couldn't be happier. The next generation is gonna be ok I think.

Is that insect called 'Europe?'

Today was the first commencement where students that I taught graduated. It was incredibly meaningful to witness, celebrate with them and meet their families.

@Franklin_Graham @ShaneClaiborne @realDonaldTrump At this point we are dealing with wolves in wolves clothing.

I believe this is known as “toxic empathy.”

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

The resurrection declares that Jesus is victorious not only over death, but over every power that produces it.

Therefore, faithful Christian witness resists the forces of death, living instead in anticipation of the world being made new in Christ.

Jesus to his disciples today:

I’m 62 years old, I live in Tampa, I eat corn and beef everyday, I always have a titleist hat on, and Iran is the biggest threat to my freedom

Billy Graham: Follow Jesus!

Franklin Graham: Join me in supporting Kid Rock to own the libs this Sunday night.

I found myself telling a friend that despite the turmoil of these times "today was a good day". And it's so very true. We are still allowed to have joy in the midst of it all. Seeing old friends. My daughters bday. Must always hold onto love in the midst of injustice and sorrow.

You have a moral duty & spiritual responsibility to speak out against this growing evil.

For you to stay silent is to be complicit.
Your silence will be a deafening cacophony that echoes throughout history.

The world is watching & listening, especially the younger generation.

Dear Christians & pastors, especially those who've used the sacred name of God (in vain) to support, enable, excuse, & justify the current Administration & it's cruel tactics (looking at you, white evangelicals!):

[Jason Alfonse Fileta @fileta]

from "holding their noses" to vote for Trump to boldly/proudly defending state sponsored killings, bald faced racism and violence in a few short years. What a disgusting, fragile and flawed witness these so called Christian leaders have been.

[Jason Alfonse Fileta @fileta]

I remember, as a child, being warned about the "slippery slope" of belief and ethics from Christian leaders. "If you believe in evolution you'll be denying the resurrection soon after" etc. I never actually saw that warning play out...until the very same kinds of Christians went

@ekaputrat Congratulations professor!

[B.W. Carlin @BaileyCarlin]

To all the MAGA folks out there, it’s still not too late to decide this is all wrong. It’s fine to admit enough is enough.

[Jason Alfonse Fileta @fileta]

If only we had a book, or even better a collection of books and correspondence telling us how the early Christians navigated living under a hostile imperial power addicted to power, greed and violence.

@CoreyJMahler Ten seconds scrolling your timeline is causing me to rethink my doubts about hell being eternal conscious torment.
