God the Father gave his only Son so that we might live. Since we believe in a triune God that means he gave himself. Just like this man and so many others. 🙌

Happy Father’s Day to him. His sacrifices were an investment in your success. ❤️

The prosperity gospel, explained: Why Joel Osteen believes that prayer can make you rich https://t.co/FrayyXYtqy

"as the prosperity gospel came into being. It started — like the “work ethic” Max Weber described — as a way to justify why, during the Gilded Age, some people were rich and others poor...

Instead of blaming structural inequality, Conwell and those like him blamed the perceived failures of the individual."

I’m sure I’m gonna get replies from nonbelievers but I’d like to ask my Christian followers out there: Why don’t we as a church explicitly address White Supremacy and racism on Sundays? Why don’t we engage the truths of America and how it’s values are antithetical to the Gospel?

[Saint Stephens Episcopal @ststephensferg]

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

Peace Prayer of Saint Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
