Today, for the first time ever, I wrote to my district's council member asking that they increase the grant pool for the non-profit arts organizations in Duval County. It's a small gesture, but I'm determined to do more.
It's crazy. I was never interested in politics because I heard, "Politicians are all crooked." "We should be pushing Christ's mission not promoting political agendas." I never realized how important it is to be a Christian who's politically active (seeks social justice).
As believers, being "in the world and not of the world" does not mean we shouldn't care for the world. It means that we should actively see and reach the world with the mind of Christ.

This little light of mine, I want to let it shine but there are ill winds that blow no good that daily seek to snuff it out. Seeking God to be my windscreen.
Stop calling your churches refuges or your God a refuge if you dehumanize refugees.
Stop singing songs about adoption & being a child of God if you canโt extend the same grace to immigrants & asylees.
The churchโs hypocrisy is evident in the disconnect of our rhetoric & praxis.
