When I hear people refer to “the prayer movement”, “the worship movement” or the “fasting movement” - it makes me wonder how we got here… to the place in the Church that this isn’t just normal behavior and values of “The Jesus Movement” aka- “The Church”!
When the greatest pain of your life is “How much more of God can I have,” then you won’t be that enamored when open doors and opportunities come your way and you won’t be that destroyed when the tribulations of this life come your way.
My father died of Covid alone in a hospital. I had to say goodbye to him over a phone. Trump got a joyride to sooth his desperate need for attention, while endangering the lives of the Secret Service people in the car with him. To hell with him and all who enable him.
Enough is enough. The President commutes the sentence of a man who is lying and withholding information on his behalf, convicted by a jury of his peers. The shining light of democracy is in danger. Vote in November.
Amazon and Whole Foods stand to profit enormously from COVID-19. The absolute least they can do is strengthen their paid sick and family leave policies to keep their workers and customers safe.

I’m glad this impeachment trial happened because what became apprent is not only Trump’s corruption but the GOP and by connection white Christianity. Christian Morality and the rule of law in this country are finally being exposed as the fraudulent enterprise that it is
So the @realDonaldTrump defense is now whatever @realDonaldTrump does or wants to do is in the public interest, but this only applies to @realDonaldTrump and no other future or former president ... stunning, simply stunning ...
No idea if #Patriots actually cheated this time & don't really care.
But do know there is a massive market devoted to attributing the #Patriots 2-decade dominance to cheating rather than acknowledging that they're by far the hardest-working & smartest org. in pro football.
Trump canceled his Denmark trip, because Obama was going to visit shortly after. Trump didn’t want visuals of him being booed, and Obama being cheered. Trump’s jealous because Obama’s respected and loved everywhere. Trump’s an abomination and an international laughingstock. Sad.
In Texas, you can be fired for being gay. You can be denied a home for being gay. You can be barred from adopting a child who needs a loving family because you're gay. Discrimination is an urgent issue in our state. Discrimination against Chick-fil-A is not.
Last night, all but 4 Republican members of Congress endorsed this racist authoritarianism as America’s future. History wasn’t kind to slave owners, segregationists or those who turned back the St. Louis. She won’t be kind to him either.
“SEND HER BACK, SEND HER BACK,” is ugly. It’s ignorant. It’s dangerous. And it’s un-American.
It’s flat out bigotry. And every Republican should condemn this bigotry immediately. Stop this now.
The President of the United States this morning telling brown-skinned Americans to “go back to where they came from” should piss off ALL Americans.
But it won’t. And that’s a shame. A damn shame.
The jealousy and bitterness of the rest of the country is on full display with everybody telling Boston fans to quit whining over blatantly have game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals stolen from us. Like you wouldn’t complain. We were robbed, mugged and violated in broad daylight
We should pray for our country, our leaders, and for Trump. But we must also resist every tweet & policy that betrays Jesus & the poor.
We are to be prophets of the resistance, not the chaplains of the empire.
The Church is the conscience of the State, not its servant.
I'm running for president because a great nation is judged not by how many billionaires and nuclear weapons it has, but by how it treats the most vulnerable – the elderly, the children, our veterans, the sick and the poor.
Weakest “Hot Take” ?!? “The game was decided by a coin flip. The NFL needs to change the OT rules”. That game was decided by the greatest QB and HC in NFL history imposing their will on the Chiefs in OT. We have seen this before from the Pats
Old enough to remember the time in 2018 when Trump/Ryan/McConnell shut down the government because we couldn’t afford $3.4B for health care for low-income kids. But please, lecture us about how spending $5B on an ineffective wall is in our national interest. #TrumpShutdown
