@newfoundglory “For now we’ll say goodbye.
We know it’s not the last time.”

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15).

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

It's such a harmful Christian theology that looks at wars and famine and says, "This might be the fulfillment of End Times prophecies!" and "Jesus might be retuning soon!" instead of "look at how much people are suffering” and “how can we stop this injustice?"

“The world is full of cruelty, often born from fear and ignorance, which wounds the hearts of many. Yet, in the face of such pain, we are called to respond with compassion and love, reflecting the heart of Jesus.”

Before you were born, God showed you your entire life, from the beginning to the end, until the moment of your death, and you chose to live this life. You probably found something worth living for.

A theology that ends in lovelessness cannot be Christian.

The great Alan Watts born on this day in 1915.

“For unless one is able to live fully in the present, the future is a hoax. There is no point whatever in making plans for a future which you will never be able to enjoy.

When your plans mature, you will still be living for some other future beyond. You will never, never be able to sit back with full contentment and say, “Now, I’ve arrived!”

Your entire education has deprived you of this capacity because it was preparing you for the future, instead of showing you how to be alive now.”

Richard Hays (one of the world’s leading New Testament scholars) passed away yesterday. His final book, The Widening of God’s Mercy, came out just a few months ago.

In this book, he details how his mind changed on LGBTQ+ inclusion and affirmation after building relationships with queer Christians and studying the Bible alongside affirming scholars. He also apologizes for his previously non-affirming stance.

I was with him in October at an LGBTQ+ Christian conference where he reiterated his repentance and asked for forgiveness to a room filled with hundreds of queer people. Through tears, a young man shouted “thank you, Dr. Hays! We forgive you!!” It was a powerful moment that I’ll never forget.

In his late 70s and with failing health, Dr. Hays could have easily chosen never to address his changing belief publicly or correct his earlier work. I’m so grateful he chose this brave path instead. I believe Richard is with Jesus now and hearing those beautiful words from his Savior, “well done, my good and faithful servant.”

[Kelly Latimore Icons @KLICONS]

The Holy Family is still among us here and now, in the faces of the refugee, the immigrant, the oppressed, the stranger, the unhoused, the sick and poor. “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” ~Matthew 25:35

Merry Christmas
