When we Christians interpret the Bible with an unforgiving literalism towards our fellow citizens, yet interpret it with graciousness towards our preferred politicians, that’s when we can be certain we are just using it to leverage our own power rather than to love others.
@tylerbraun I remember being skeptical of him about 20 years ago, like a tree that grew REALLY fast but didn't sink deep roots. I think he realized that when he burned out and has turned the other direction. I think he's faithfully leaning into what God has given him.
@richvillodas Good Friday: "Service of Darkness." Seven dramatic readings through John 18-19, seven candles snuffed after each reading, service ends in silence. A few hymns placed between readings
Easter Sunday: John 20:24-29 - The Resurrection Matters.
Without a lot of inner-work/self-reflection through therapy and spiritual direction to recognize our dark sides, this happens more often than we care to admit in our own walk with Jesus.
When Grace worked at Wheaton she heard a prof complaining about young people drinking coffee at church. “I don’t like it,” he said. “And you know what? God doesn’t like it either.”
Coffee debate aside, it blows my mind how easily people move from I don’t like it—so God doesn’t.
@timkellernyc, outside of the Holy Spirit, you did more to shape my faith and character in my through your faithfulness to the Gospel. I appreciate your commitment to Jesus and your love for your neighbors.
See you soon, brother.
@colebrownpdx Unfortunately, most of the English media is giving him a pass... when they did not give a pass to Sancho/Saka/Rashford for missing PKs in the Euros... in fact, they got raked over racist abuse coals
The inconsistency is blatant and horrifying
I’ve been reading and following @GrantWahl’s footy coverage for almost two decades. His death is a HUGE loss for the footy world, and I’m deeply saddened by this tragedy. Praying for his family and I pray no foul play was afoot
Generous of spirit, a peerless journalist, #grantwahl did more to inform and explain and celebrate the beautiful game than any other American. Ever. Full stop. His loss is incalculable to our profession. Prayers for his family.
