Jesus’s WAY—his model of self-sacrificial life and love—is the TRUTH over and above the lies of empire (aka. the world) and provides LIFE for the body and soul.
This is what it means that Jesus is the Way, Truth and Life in John 14. It’s not about Christian supremacy or how to get to heaven.

I can’t believe my beautiful baby boy is 5 today. He’s such a kind, thoughtful, smart, brave, determined, and loving kid. I can’t wait to see how he shakes up this world.

Make no mistake America, we are not the good guys.
We are the Axis powers not the Allies.
We are the Empire not the Rebellion.
We are Mordor, not Gondor.
If we want to truly be great, we need to resist evil with love and empathy. Fight back, not with violence, but with goodness.

While the hypocrisy is expected, it’s still maddening to see all the violent offenders at J6 be pardoned regardless of what they did to the capitol police.

On this Inauguration Day, which also falls on MLKJ day, we must never forget the hell that white supremacy has, and still is putting people through.
We must never go back.

Not only did Trump start this whole TikTok ban thing when he was president, but it was his Supreme Court who saw it through. Now he’s pretending to be its savior and his followers are buying it hook, line, and sinker. Genuinely, how are Americans so forgetful?

Dear Christian, just a reminder that being “woke” is a compliment. It means you are aware of social injustice and speak up for the marginalized, just like Jesus.
Claiming to be anti-woke is simply another way of saying you are anti-Christ.

There is no limit to the concern one must feel for the suffering of human beings, that indifference to evil is worse than evil itself, that in a free society, some are guilty, but all are responsible.

When your “freedom” only comes at the expense of someone else’s, it’s not truly freedom; just ignorance of the oppression you’re causing.
