Rapture tells us to leave. Christ tells us to love. Where have you seen “stay and heal” in action, and what is one small Kin-dom practice you can begin this week?

No Rapture, No Cry: A Christopagan Response to Escapist Theology

Tradition is the spice of life. Too much and it ruins the taste, too little and everything is bland. The best thing is, they can be mixed into new combinations to refresh and enliven us to new experiences.

I don't understand people and movements who water themselves down to where they lose all flavor. We must celebrate our vibrant diversity and not homogenize everything down to gray mush.

00- Creation's Paths - Wisdom's Cry

Creation's Paths (usually Charlie) @creationspaths.com · 3d

The pain we feel in accepting others into our circle when they are different from ourselves is a flaw in our own compassion. Sharing a common goal is not the same as cosigning everyone's beliefs. We have to do the work. We have to repair the world.

Creation Spirituality begins right where you are: with your body, your breath, your story. It isn’t a doctrine. It’s a path you walk with your feet on the earth and your heart turned toward wonder.

If we have to abandon our core principles to be acceptable to others, no one has principles, only priorities.

I never meant to become a Creation Spirituality teacher. It started with a windy night in Oakland, a candle that wouldn’t stay lit, and two strangers who helped me hold the flame. That night changed how I saw prayer forever.

It is really difficult to work with other people in a community, because we all have our own wishes, goals, and ambitions. If we are not willing to focus on a common goal together, we will never accomplish our personal goals alone.

The theology of the rapture empowers those who wish harm to our communities. In this episode, we discuss the escapist theology of the rapture and the work it distracts us from, and the harm that makes people want to flee the Earth.

When the people in power resort to using the military, they admit their failure to understand and deal with a situation. Violence is always a failure in the system. It is up to us to show them a better way.

Chicago Tribune @chicagotribune.com · 6d

Appearing on ABC’s “This Week,” Gov. JB Pritzker said President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance’s ultimate goal is to bring in the National Guard to cities like Chicago to militarize the country’s Democratic-controlled enclaves as a form of political payback.

The federal government has emphasized the Guard’s mission would only be to protect federal immigration enforcement agents and property.
