A timely message from @esaumccaulley that all #Christians should consider.
This quoted post is unavailable.
How do people in churches perceive Ruth, the #foreigner? When I read the book that bears her name, I notice that she is often referred to as a foreigner. Christians should not dehumanize others or reduce them to labels like 'foreigner' or '#immigrant.' Say her name—Ruth.
When Christians excuse the sins of people from past generations by saying, “They were people of their time,” I wonder if they realize they are highlighting those people’s failure to be people of the Word.
Wait! Do you mean to tell me that the #GulfOfMexico is older than the United States?!
Officiant: O Lord, guide those who govern us;
People: And lead us in the way of justice and truth.
When people oppose justice, I question whether they pray such bold prayers or read the Psalms.
How do you live out your faith if you profess to be a Christian?

“When hatred serves as a dimension of self-realization, the illusion of righteousness is easy to create.”

Too many people are running around asking, “Who is my neighbor” instead of following #Jesus’s instructions to go be a neighbor.
See Luke 10:25-37
The seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.”
Rev 11:15
No earthly government’s practices totally reflect the heart of God.
When people understand this, they will stop trying to fit #Christianity into a partisan box.

Today on 🎙️HP 655, we explore ordo amoris & why we can't pick & choose certain parts of Christianity to support our politics and ignore the rest.
“To love such an enemy requires reconciliation, the will to re-establish a relationship. It involves confession of error and a seeking to be restored to one’s former place.”

What is reconciliation without repentance?
“During times of [conflict] hatred becomes quite respectable, even though it has to masquerade often under the guise of patriotism.”

Well, that will hit you right between the eyes when you take a look around.
"It cannot be denied that too often the weight of the Christian movement has been on the side of the strong and the powerful and against the weak and oppressed—this, despite the gospel."

OK. Go ahead and have the conversations, but I have one request. If you are going to paint a group of people as unqualified to have certain #jobs, please hide your lack of #qualifications by using some tool to compensate for your horrendous #spelling and #grammar.
The Hebrews did not try to bar the Hellenists from managing the situation for fear of #retaliation. They didn't even reserve spots for qualified Hebrews. If only #Christians didn't assume qualifications based on factors beyond people's control (e.g., race or gender).
Luke makes a note that the early #church grew. I wonder if #Christians who demand cultural #conformity or #domination ever considered that embracing #diversity might be a church growth strategy of biblical proportions.
