Christians, If someone wishes you “HAPPY HOLIDAYS,” simply say “Happy Holidays to you as well.” If someone wishes you “MERRY CHRISTMAS,” simply say “Merry Christmas to you as well.” Don’t weaponize words. Be kind.
@danwhitejr Outside America, it’s similar. Nationalism always bends Christianity away from Jesus.
When Jesus said, “Make disciples of all nations” - he wasn’t saying, “Win converts so that their souls would be saved for a future heaven.” He was saying, “Win people over to my way of living who live lives that reflect the justice of God - on earth as it is in heaven.”

“To see your brothers, sisters and neighbours as chalices of grace and vessels of the Holy Spirit is to participate in the great mercy of our Lord Jesus.” —Lazar
The service the Lord requires is not done in any church. He will not say to you, "You never went to church; depart from me, I do not know you." But he will say, "Inasmuch as you never helped one of my Father's children, you have done nothing for me."
Christianity reveals Jesus when it pursues the power of love. Christianity betrays Jesus when it pursues the love of power.
In low theologies, hell is invariably the deepest truth, and the love of God is not so deep as hell.
@AdamPage85 Yes: Letter From Birmingham Jail. Christians are more like Christ when we advocate for the rights of others rather than our own.
Nationalism keeps telling us Christians to take up our swords and make our nation "Christian" by any means necessary. Jesus keeps calling us Christians to take up our crosses and be like him, serving the world through grace, humility, compassion, and self sacrificial love.
When Elijah was depressed, exhausted, and weary of life, what did God first do? He sent an angel to deliver the prophet a meal (1 Kings 19). -Nothing extraordinary. -Nothing really theological. Just a tangible expression of love and mercy to a deeply troubled soul. A valuable…
Our first task in approaching other people, another culture, is to take off our shoes. For the place we are approaching is holy. Else, we may find ourselves treading on people’s dreams. More serious still, we may forget that God was there before we ever arrived. -Max Warren
The Remarkable Spread of Christianity in the First Hundred Years One of the most remarkable facts about Christianity is the speed by which it spread over the Roman world. Think about it: in about AD 25, all we see is an oddball preacher in the Judean desert and his slightly…
"This is a book that many of us have been waiting for for a long time—a collection of Alvin Kimel's mature theological musings on divine love, human freedom, hell, and universal restoration." ~ Robin Parry amzn.to/3o0Ei3X
If your theology of Christian living wouldn't work in AD 312, it might need an adjustment.
Better is one day in the company of those bullied by Christians but loved by Jesus than thousands in the company of those wielding Scripture to harm the weak and defenseless. - David Gushee (@dpgushee)
The Aaronic or Priestly blessing is one of the most ancient benedictions in the world (Numbers 6:24-26). It has been spoken over the people of God for millennia. In many churches, including my own, these words conclude every Sunday service as our pastor speaks them over us. The…
Christians are to persuade by love, witness, Spirit, reason, rhetoric, and, if need be, by martyrdom; but never by force. Thus a healthy and faithful Christianity neither wants nor seeks the power of the state for the purpose of advancing the kingdom of Christ.
The Kingdom of God is presence in communion. “Wherever I have encounters of grace with the other, that’s the Kingdom of God.” @bradjersak

Walter Brueggemann’s latest. (2023) After a lifetime of total immersion in the Hebrew Scriptures, Walter Brueggemann has basically turned into a modern day Hebrew prophet—a contemporary irascible Amos who doesn’t suffer fools gladly. And I’m here for it! 😎
Read rightly the Bible as a whole is an inspired and reliable guide into the divine. But if we only read the Bible analytically, we’ll never actually encounter God in the text. To encounter God the Bible needs to be read sacramentally. And this is an art mostly lost in modernity.
@Kdubtru @KarstenBoomer2B I think you should brush up on the classic understanding of the Gospel (Hint: it’s not a specific atonement theory that reformed Christian’s treat as the gospel. *It Is* the life/death/resurrection & teachings of Jesus…the Gospels are actually a great place to find the Gospel)
No one was more vocal about why Christians should never be given positions of political power than Jesus was. Proving, once again, that Christians are the last people to care about anything Jesus actually said.
