The reformation alterpeice. On the right is the pastor (Martin Luther in this case) with his left finger on the text and his right finger pointed at Christ crucified. (The primary calling of a pastor.) On the left the congregation looks to Christ as he is preached from the Word. – at Burbank, CA

We don’t need the Holy Spirit to help us hate our enemies. We will need Him if we’re ever going to love them, though.
Jesus teaches that after the Resurrection of the dead reality will be single and sexless. Marriage is a temporary ordinance. What are the implications for singleness? A church and culture obsessed with sex and gender? Overly romantic views of marriage? Purity culture? Patriarchy?
Someone asked me if I believe every person of the current administration is a bad actor. My answer is "I don't know." But I will say that good people working in an evil, racist, facist system can still do evil things. Real Christians can and will do evil in an evil system.
I can accept that an evil man who is surrounded by evil people is running this country. I can even accept that are doing evil things that cannot be stopped because of power dynamics. What I will never accept is that so called "Christians" support this evil regime with glee.

Reminder:
Undocumented Immigrants, Migrants, and Asylum-Seekers are humans who deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and kindness. They’re not “illegal aliens” who deserve to be treated like vicious criminals.

Unpopular opinion: You should be more devoted to showing up to church on time than you are to making it to your mon-fri job. Too many people who would never miss work have no problem going to church 60% of the time.

Senate Republicans just sold out the sick and the hungry to cut taxes for the rich and the powerful.
What would Jesus do about this “Big Beautiful Bill”?
I think he would flip over the tables of injustice and call on us to do the same.

Many good Christian colleges out there, but a straightforwardly secular school with a good RUF/local church can often be as good or better than some publicly Christian universities for cultivating faith. FWIW

War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons! May nations chart their futures with works of peace, not with violence and bloodstained conflicts!
There are 91 million people in Iran. Almost a million of them are underground Christians.

Yes, there are “No kings” in the United States of America.
There is only one true King over all the Earth:
Jesus.
When pro-life people realize this, then undocumented immigrants, migrants, and asylum-seekers become people to love, not problems to solve. 🙌

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.
We will hold this administration accountable.
Leviticus 19:33-34 When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
And who is my neighbor?
Luke 10:25-37
