"Three possibilities for action that the church can take vis-a-vis the state [that misuses force]:
1st, questioning the state as to the legitimate state character of its actions..
2nd.. to bind up the wounds of the victims beneath the wheel...
3rd.. to fall within the spokes."

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Everyone should watch “won’t you be me neighbor”
Most of the moral messaging in children's television programming when I was a kid was utterly uncontroversial at the time, and would be attacked as woke indoctrination today.

A shopper at the grocery store last night was wearing a sweatshirt with what I googled to be a fascist white supremacist tagline about equality being for the "inferior".

"As far as we're concerned, your Jesus is contaminated"
Last night at church we watched "A Time for Burning" - a 1966 documentary commissioned by the Lutheran church that depicts the story of a congregation seeking to share ministry across racial lines in Omaha. In this clip, the Pastor visits a local barbershop.
