Every single thing to come has turned into ashes
'Cause it's all over, it's not meant to be
So I'll say words I don't believe
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
You were bigger than the whole sky
You were more than just a short time
'Cause it's all over, it's not meant to be
So I'll say words I don't believe
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
You were bigger than the whole sky
You were more than just a short time

Christians are to persuade by love, witness, Spirit, reason, rhetoric, and, if need be, by martyrdom; but never by force.
The church does not need, should not have, and must not covet the sword of Caesar.

John the Baptist drinks no wine, because he’s not the one who brings the party, he only prepares the way. The party begins when Jesus turns the water to wine at the wedding feast of Cana.
John is Advent; Jesus is Christmas.

Christ however is so powerful that he invites his subjects to become more and more like him. He does not become less king, less powerful the more we are like him—quite the contrary. Christ’s rule is most fully realized when we are as much like our king as possible, as close to him as possible. ⚓️

Christ as king appears himself before the counterfeit power of Rome; Caesar can only send his representative. This is because Caesar’s power is premised on being utterly unlike his subjects. This is why he can have no rival and must execute apparent rivals. It is power over, a zero sum game.

Jesus' contemporaries found Jesus' empathy toward sinners to be pretty toxic.

To the Diner’s who have ears to hear, let them hear!
Dear Diner:
Just be a diner. Don’t renovate to try to look fancier or sexier or like something you’re not. Just be a diner. We love you for it, and we sometimes need a break from the “it” restaurants. Extra points for linoleum tabletops, vinyl booths, good coffee, and the definitive burger deluxe.

There’s nothing Christ-like about nationalism.
It is the opposite direction of the way of Jesus.
Call your nationalism “Christian” all you want—it has nothing to do with Jesus’s teaching and lived out example.
