There are, in the end, only two ways to read the Bible: Is it basically about me, or basically about Jesus? In other words, is it basically about what I must do or basically about what He has done?
Dear Church,
Jesus believed women.
Protected women.
Empowered women.
Honored women publicly.
Released the voice of women.
Confided in women.
Was funded by women.
Celebrated women by name.
Learned from women.
Respected women.
And spoke of women as examples to follow.
Your turn.
Grace can be pointed, but is not shrilll. The Spirit is tender, & only tenderness transforms. For us to keep hard-edged hope alive in such a time, our hearts actually have to get softer. We pray for & even bless our enemies, or we wither & die. It is just that stark.
The moment we dehumanize an enemy, we dehumanize ourselves. Prayer humanizes the face of our enemy, & in doing so makes us human too. Do you feel resistance to this message, even anger? I feel it too! Of course I don’t want to love my enemies-b/c I know doing so will change me.

@adam__beck @butes25 @TravisAdams6 @tj_therrien Ridiculous. Even with a no hitter if the twins play a ridic shift like that the O’s have every right to bunt it right there. Maybe even more of a right than a one hitter.
She said YES! And now Maddie and I both got us a ring 💍😎 can’t wait to marry my best friend! God is doing some amazing things and I can’t thank him enough!
Crazy misunderstanding— No players ever took a knee against the nat’l anthem. They took a knee in peaceful protest of police brutality. Do you read on the reg, or no? Anyway, you should apologize. ♥️ https://t.co/EanbpFT5Td
