Growing up, I was always taught about "wolves in sheep's clothing"... but tbh I don't feel like they're even in sheep's clothing anymore.

For a “Christian” to join ICE, they would have to deny Jesus, take up their crucifying tools, and follow hateful men.

Joining ICE is antichrist.

Admittedly, maybe we all popped the bubbly slightly prematurely.

Better to give them hope.

Least stressful playoff loss of my lifetime at least. That was a heck of a rocket from Judge.

Get your brooms out—it’s Yankee sweepin’ time! 🧹 🧹 🧹 ⚾️

The NY sports media is going to simultaneously combust from the collective schadenfreude.

Christian nonviolence is not a strategy to rid the world of violence, but rather the way Christians must live in a world of violence... faithful followers of Christ in a world of war cannot imagine being anything else than nonviolent.

"The power of Christ's love rallies us not to pride that defends nations or ideological purity but to compassion for those who are suffering—regardless of national identity or political affiliation."

Listen, you rich people, weep & wail because of the misery that is coming on you.

Your wealth has rotted, & moths have eaten your clothes.

The corrosion of your gold & silver will testify against you & eat your flesh like fire.

You have hoarded wealth in the last days.

How about my Blue Jays?

It’s going so well that I almost feel sorry for the Yankees and their fans.

Almost.

“There is only one Christian nation in the world.

That nation is called the ekklesia—or, church.

It is multicultural, borderless, & weaponless. & it is the primary context in which God is at work to reconcile humans to God and humans to one another.

AMEN.”

“Brothers & sisters, the good news is not that Jesus is making America great again.

Instead, the good news is that Jesus—the Lord of peace—is at work to create a global fellowship of Christ followers who love their neighbors rather than lord power over them. “

If you’re unable to get out to an in person gathering but would still like to check out a message/sermon this morning, I’ve been going through Genesis with our community.

The Jesus in the Gospels is clearly very, very different from this white American knock-off version.

I think noting the different cultures is helpful.

Even in Canada, where things are very, very different than in the USA, we still get the heavy echoes of Americanisms into our surrounding culture.

I hope the gentleman reconsidered his “anti-woke” claim.

I mean… following the propaganda means letting that into their hearts… so… they sound exactly like the kind of people I’d expect them to be.

🤷

Unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying.

I’ve never met anyone who uses “woke” in the pejorative that wasn’t exactly the kind of person you’d expect them to be.

I’ve been there the whole time—just that X has greatly reduced their reach.

Over on the Bad Place, it feels like Rocketman just turned my Twitter back on, because suddenly people are coming out of the woodwork to let me know I’m a heretic again.

I was getting worried that I’d lost the narrow, radical, heretical way of Jesus.
