Y’all remember Hoarders?

That show about people hoarding food, clothes, dolls, even animals.

We rightly see someone with 200 rabbits in their apartment and think, “they have a problem.”

So here’s my question: Why don’t we look at people who hoard wealth the same way?

@nathan_knight It’s a separate language for a people group in Ghana, it’s not the Kenya country! I thought they were talking about Kenya too at first, but the gentleman from Ghana who wrote the verse clarified the difference.

GOD IS SO GOOD! Witnessed the very first time John 14:6 being written in the Kenyen language!! #passion2022

How did you reach an isolated tribe in the jungle?

Elizabeth Elliot: With time and effort to learn their language and culture so as to communicate.

How do you reach people in a city?

Church planter: With time and effort to learn their language and culture so as to communicate.

Based on what I read in Scripture and what I’ve experienced throughout my life, I just can’t imagine a scenario where I meet Jesus face to face and he says…

“You loved people too boldly, you showed people too much grace, and you welcomed too many people into the Church.”

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

When we see others as the enemy, we risk becoming what we hate.

When we oppress others, we end up oppressing ourselves.

All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others.

- Desmond Tutu

The well-known preacher, Will Willimon was asked to summarize the gospel in 7 words or less. His response:

“God refuses to be God without us.”

Amen.

Lots of fascinating reversals in the Bible.

The woman (Eve) comes out of Adam in Genesis.

The 2nd Adam (Jesus) comes out of the woman (Mary) in the Gospels.

Pastors are not CEOs.
Churches are not corporations.
Members of the community are not investors.

We are shepherds.
We are a new family.
We are a community of servants.

[Carlos A. Rodríguez @CarlosHappyNPO]

Stop worshipping centrism.

Jesus spoke good news TO THE POOR.

Healing FOR THE BROKEN.

Releasing OF THE CAPTIVE.

Welcoming THE STRANGER.

Learning FROM THE OTHER.

Feeding THE HUNGRY.

Caring FOR THE LEAST.

Jesus took sides.
We should too.

[Michael J. Rhodes @michaeljrhodes]

When we sing the Top 25 Worship Songs, we don’t ask God anything. By contrast, prick the Psalter & it bleeds w/ the cries of the oppressed, pleading for God to act

Why, O Lord, do you stand far off?... In arrogance the wicked persecute the poor

Ps10:1-2
