"...I encourage you this Easter to thank the Creator for coming to redeem all of His creation." We are grateful to learn from Corey Greaves of Mending Wings this Easter. He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed!

No, these aren’t Trump’s handcuffs. These tiny cuffs were used to restrain Native children who refused to “go quietly” into church run Indian boarding schools.
You would’ve known this — had they taught it to you in school.
The Bible: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation can separate us from the love of God”
Evangelicalism: Sin separates us from God
Some believe the threat to Christianity is Conservative Evangelicalism and others believe it's Progressive Liberalism but the real threat is non-discipleship to the words and ways of Jesus.
Evangelical religious leaders "need to retreat from politics and re-establish their authority over the religious field. They should focus on building the Kingdom instead of 'changing the culture'—because 'the culture' has already colonized their kingdom."

I really like how the Canadians I’ve been with this week refer to immigrants, refugees, & asylum seekers… as “newcomers.”
Simple. Kind. Neighborly.
We’re following a God we can’t see, for a lifetime we can’t measure,
to an eternity we can’t comprehend, because of grace we didn’t earn.
Faith isn’t a bunch of facts.
According to Jesus, we will be judged by how we cared for “the least of these.”
Did we welcome the stranger?
Did we feed the hungry?
Did we visit the incarcerated?
Did we care for the sick?
In the end, the true test of our faith is how it impacted the most vulnerable among us.
O God, in the course of this busy life, give us times of refreshment and peace; and grant that we may so use our leisure to rebuild our bodies and renew our minds, that our spirits may be opened to the goodness of your creation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
