Just yappin’ about justice doesn’t mean a person and/or his/her church is actually engaged in the work of (measurable results) justice. How easily people assign credibility to words today w/o actually examining the work or fruit. #smh

@MatthewSoerens is keeping up the good work of encouraging American church-attendees to respond to strangers (ie immigrants) like Jesus suggested when he told his disciples the story about a Good Samaritan’s response to a hijacked and beaten foreigner.

ICE wants everyone, regardless of immigration status, to feel safe and unafraid to get the #COVID19vaccine—to protect themselves, their families, and their communities. ICE will NOT conduct immigration enforcement at COVID-19 vaccine sites. Learn more: xsm.link/l1kt4c

On the tragedy of Christians being publicly cruel to each other. Beth Moore adheres to Baptist doctrine, including re gender. But when she “erred” in calling out sex abuse in the church & politics, cruelty somehow became a virtue.

I am thinking a lot about how the desire to *predict* is rooted in the desire to have *control* (authority without vulnerability).
And how different it is to *predict* than to *promise* or to *hope,* which always entail vulnerability.

My heart is heavy tonight after a day along the border. There are amazing people doing all they can to respond with Christ-like compassion here in El Paso--the Church at its best. But there's also so much human suffering converging here, exacerbated by US policies in some cases – at Texas, USA

One observation after sweating for 3 weeks in Europe this summer: it is much easier to think climate change is fake when living with A/C everywhere we go (car, house, Walmart). We just turn down the thermostat and POOF—no problem. #privilege

The book of Esther is about a misogynistic, inept king with racist advisors who gets played by a Jewish orphan. --@rachelheldevans
