Instead of measuring a church by its attendance & budget, here’s another idea: Let’s assess it by the quality of community life that disciples people to love well; a culture that equips individuals to have a 1st hand life w/God & a commitment to release people in their gifts.
When Christians say “Stop badmouthing the church”— 1) the church is not a concept but it’s a people, many wounded by its supposed leaders, & 2) not holding the church accountable is actually badmouthing the victims who have been hurt. Which means you’re badmouthing the church.
The church keeps feasting at the tables of power and privilege ... when Jesus is asking us to flip them. The tables that oppress the poor The tables that deny the outcast The tables that discard the sick FLIP.
Don't reduce MLK to an annual quote on social media. Live out the dream Seek first the Kingdom of God Confront evil Be a truth-teller Seek justice Advocate for the poor Pursue reconciliation Love your neighbors Forgive your enemies Live a committed life of peace, love, justice.
Nobody’s never wrong. But those who cannot admit they are wrong will set out to prove others wronger.
White people are in denial about what racism looks like/sounds like. Just because it’s prefaced with a giggle and followed with “I feel bad for saying that” doesn’t exempt you from being racist.

I am prolife to the marrow of my bones. I am prolife from conception to the grave &, therefore, I find no home in this 2 party system. But I am 100% positive as a follower of Jesus that, when I see His face, I want to have stood against injustice and stood up for the oppressed.
“Satan fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, he mocks our wisdom, but he trembles when we pray.” -Samuel Chadwick
For those who mistake inconvenience for oppression we pray to the Lord.
Jesus was not a white, American man. The U.S. flag is not a symbol for the Church or for Jesus. The National Anthem is not a holy hymn. Slavery was not a “necessary evil.” The oppressor even tries to control the response to oppression. The truth will make us free.
American Christianity has abandoned self-sacrifice and replaced it with a persecution complex that expects others to sacrifice-themselves for the sake of American Christianity.
For white Christians who deny systemic racism yet firmly believe homosexuality affects plate tectonics and weather patterns, we pray.
I’m wholly uninterested in a conversation about unity that’s not rooted in the unrelenting pursuit of racial justice.
For social distancing reasons I will henceforth be wearing hoop skirts
Yes, Christians, “God is in control.” No, Christians, that does not absolve you of responsibility, accountability, rolling up your sleeves, digging in your heels, and doing the hard work of healing and justice and grieving together.
