Do we want a Pope Rome or a Caesar Rome? More tomorrow on 🎙️Holy Post 725.

@dalepartridge A helpful reminder. https://t.co/pXZE4ady40

Diversity is American. It isn’t a threat to our faith or our country; it's central to America’s story and identity. And as Christians, the call to love our neighbors as ourselves is neither optional nor conditional.

Racist. Deranged. Humiliating to our country. The fact that we have decided to pretend to this is normal every day is a moral abomination. Have we any shame?

And every day an entire generation is being told it is “Christian” to support this. God have mercy on us.

@MarriottIntl ATL Marquis seems deceptive and possibly greedy. At check-in they charge your card, (a hold) for the entire cost of your stay plus possible incidentals -- before your head ever hits a pillow. What ever happened to paying for your stay at check out?

For years, this administration has tried to train us to fear immigrants, to adopt a zero-sum worldview, and to believe that we cannot afford to extend hospitality.

But Christians don't operate from scarcity. Christians seek to include, not push out. Christians reject a spirit of fear, and Christians insist on solutions that honor the humanity of our neighbors. This is who we are and what we stand for as followers of Jesus.

Christians don't turn the other cheek because it's pragmatic. We turn the other cheek because we're principled, and committed to the way of Jesus regardless of outcomes. @skyejethani on 🎙️The SkyePod

@HolyPost_Media @SkyeJethani So true

[David French @DavidAFrench]

"Partisanship is poisonous to the church. Neither party’s political platform truly embodies the teachings of the New Testament. Each party has its moral strengths and weaknesses, which is why you can find Christians and people of every faith and no faith on both sides of the political aisle.

But when partisanship becomes part of your identity — much less part of your faith — it has a pernicious effect: It causes you to highlight the deficiencies of the other side while tempting you to rationalize or minimize the injustices on your own. Partisanship makes hypocrites of us all. I know it made a hypocrite of me on my worst partisan days.

The approach that Pope Leo takes, by contrast, puts virtue outside and above politics. His declarations are the living embodiment of Martin Luther King Jr.’s admonition that the church 'is not to be the master or the servant of the state, but the conscience of the state.'" https://t.co/5oeNMCvJgs

@dalepartridge Any human can be an instrument of human blessing, just like not all Christians automatically bring blessing. Common Grace shapes our understanding of these things. And likewise the avoidance of Christian nationalism protects the church from getting caught up in power and control

I thought one of the lessons we all agreed on from 1933-1939 was that you don't achieve lasting peace by sacrificing land to dictators with imperialist ambitions and expecting them to hold up their end of the 'peace' deal? Or was I mistaken in that perception?

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

We want the warhorse.
Jesus rides a donkey.

We want the eagle.
The Holy Spirit descends as a dove.

We want to take up swords.
Jesus takes up a cross.

We want the roaring lion.
God comes as a slaughtered lamb.

We keep trying to arm God.
God keeps trying to disarm us.
