Jesus's gospel is love right here & now.
If it doesn't look and feel like love, it's not.
Greed kills without remorse.

We've heard of prison without due process before. We called Hitler's Concentration Camps, Russia's Gulags. Ours were Internment Camps.

It is far easier to blame a scapegoat than do the much harder work of holding those in power accountable.
White on black text that reads, "It will always baffle me how easily people will believe that the poor, the sick, the marginalized, and the immigrant are the cause of all their problems, rather than people in the most powerful positions in our country who refuse to fix problems and exploit them instead."

What's the point of having a powerful military and defense budget if we won't do the minimum to provide a safety net for the nation?
What's there to defend?
What are we protecting?
Billionaires can hire their own security.

"Sorry the church hurt you. There's no excuse. We abandoned the way of God."

The primary responsibility of the Christian Church is to represent God as revealed in Jesus. We have made an abominable mess of that.

God loves you.
That's what Jesus came to say.
