When the church trades its towel for a throne, it forgets its Savior. Christ’s kingdom isn’t built on control but on the cross—where greatness is measured by humility, not dominance. (John 18:36 / Mark 10:45) #FaithOverFactions #KingdomNotEmpire #ServantLeadership

When the church defends the rich instead of lifting the poor, it betrays the gospel. Real faith isn’t measured by what we keep but by what we give. The early believers shared all so none lacked. (James 5:1-3 / Acts 4:32-35) #FaithOverFactions #KingdomEconomy
Righteousness doesn’t stay silent when others suffer. Scripture says, “Speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves.” Advocacy isn’t politics—it’s discipleship in motion. (Proverbs 31:8-9 / Isaiah 1:17)

Forgiveness isn’t weakness—it’s how freedom fights back. Let go of bitterness and forgive as Christ forgave you. Every release breaks the cycle hate depends on. (Ephesians 4:31-32 / Colossians 3:13)

A broken coffee maker. A hundred dollars. And a whisper from God: “If you have a hundred bucks for a coffee machine, you have a hundred bucks for the food bank.”

Righteousness isn’t solo—it’s shared. Don’t walk alone when God gave us each other. The early believers gathered daily, breaking bread and building faith. Fellowship fuels endurance and multiplies grace. (Hebrews 10:24-25 / Acts 2:46-47)

#EchoesOfRighteousness #LifeTogether
Peacemakers don’t wait for quiet—they build it. A gentle word turns away wrath, and love steps into the gap. Real strength isn’t in shouting louder but in healing what hate has broken. (Proverbs 15:1 / Matthew 5:9)

#EchoesOfRighteousness #FaithInAction #Peacemakers
Righteousness echoes through open hands. Jesus said treasure fades, but hearts shaped by giving never run dry. God loves a cheerful giver—because generosity is worship in motion. (Matthew 6:19-21 / 2 Corinthians 9:7)

#EchoesOfRighteousness #KingdomGenerosity
Righteousness doesn’t walk past need—it kneels beside it. The Samaritan didn’t just feel compassion; he acted. Love that moves changes lives. (Luke 10:31-34)

#EchoesOfRighteousness #FaithInAction #CompassionThatHeals
When the church preaches doom, it forgets the resurrection. The God of hope fills us with joy and peace as we trust Him. Christ is our living hope—the empty tomb still speaks louder than despair. (Romans 15:13 / 1 Peter 1:3)
When the church divides into tribes and ideologies, it forgets who holds it together. Christ isn’t divided. The Spirit calls us to unity that outlives opinion and peace that outlasts pride. (1 Corinthians 1:10-13 / Ephesians 4:3)

#FaithOverFactions #OneBody
When the church blesses greed and calls it prosperity, it betrays the gospel. God’s economy runs on compassion, not competition. The Spirit’s first miracle was shared abundance, not private gain. (Proverbs 14:31 / Acts 2:44-45)

#FaithOverFactions #KingdomEconomy
When the church exalts celebrity preachers, it forgets who the body belongs to. Christ isn’t divided. He alone is the head who holds it all together. True leadership isn’t about fame—it’s about following Him. (1 Corinthians 1:12-13 / Colossians 1:18)

Those folks aren't what they claim, Some of us love and welcome our LBGTQ+ brothers and sisters. Unfortunatly, Bigotry is a religion.

Today is #GlobalFertilizerDay, but here’s the truth:

Chemical fertilizers poison our food system, deplete our soil, pollute water & air, while tying global food prices to fossil fuel markets.

A few corporations profit. The rest of us pay the price.

When the church neglects creation, it forgets its first calling—to tend and keep the garden. The earth mourns when greed rules, but caring for creation is worship in action. The earth is the Lord’s, not ours to exploit. (Jeremiah 12:4 / Genesis 2:15)

When the church ties the cross to a flag, it trades heaven’s kingdom for an earthly one. Our citizenship is in heaven, not a party. We’re called to seek the good of all people and build peace, not power. (Philippians 3:20 / Jeremiah 29:7)

When the church shames sinners while hiding its own sin, it forgets the mercy that saved it. Jesus said, remove the plank from your eye first. Repentance isn’t humiliation—it’s healing. Pride hides; grace restores. (Matthew 7:5 / Luke 18:13-14)

When the church turns ministry into merchandise, it loses its mission. Christ drove out the profiteers and said, “Freely you’ve received; freely give.” The gospel was never meant to be sold—it was meant to be shared. (Matthew 21:12-13 / Matthew 10:8)

#FaithOverFactions #FreelyGiven
When the church stays silent before oppression, it sides with the strong, not the Savior. God calls His people to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him—because justice isn’t politics, it’s the reflection of His heart. (Isaiah 10:1-2 / Micah 6:8)
