Thomas Merton said, “The Devil makes many disciples by preaching against sin.”

In other words, by becoming solely focused on abstaining from sin, we live a crushing moralism, which robs us from enjoying God.

@PatMcc59 @Ikefmiller Children following in their parents’ career path is hardly unique to pastors. I think of family farms in Wisconsin passed down generation to generation. Hardly an easy career path. They more often would say its a calling. To your point, nepotism is hardly always pure... Ha!

I can’t recall a season when I have felt the level of pastoral urgency to call people to radically follow Jesus.

Both Christians and non-Christians alike.

But especially Christians.

The church is not to be found at the “center” of a left/right political world. The church is to be a species of its own kind, confounding left, right, and middle, and finding its identity from the “center” of God’s life.”

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

The level of power we hold must be commensurate with the level of inner work we have done (and are doing). Otherwise we destroy people & ourselves.

This is why there's so many tragedies of leadership in our world.

There is little congruence between our inner and outer lives.

We long for justice to run like a mighty river but more often than not, it begins with a trickle. Be that trickle. Do your part. Start where you’re at. Listen to the pain around you. Grow in empathy. Be a good neighbor. Seek justice. Love kindness. Walk humbly.

@kateshellnutt @CTmagazine That we we’ll miss the moment by focusing on self preservation.

Pray prayers that do more than change circumstances. Pray prayers that change you.
