"Jesus said 'Whatever you do to the least of these my brothers, you've done it to me.' This is what I've come to think. That if I want to identify fully w/ Jesus, who I claim to be my Savior & Lord, the best way that I can do that is to identify with the poor."

This piece by
@esaumccaulley
, is worthy of reflection.
"...it’s fine for us to debate the strengths and weaknesses of theories like CRT. No theory is above reproach. But that debate cannot be used to wish away the more pressing question of justice for the oppressed...
Well done

Only in the context of racial injustice are we told to articulate the plan of salvation exclusively. When marriages are struggling, we don’t just preach the gospel to couples. We give them practical tools to love one another."

I was today years old when I learned that Urakami (Northern Nagasaki) housed thousands of Christians during the 1600-1800s ban on Christianity. In 1925 it was home to the largest cathedral in East Asia.
It was destroyed in 1945 by atomic bomb.

Purveyors of American Christian Nationalism often argue that the ends justify the means. One of the most effective means, in their eyes, is the use of hostile, vulgar, and dehumanizing rhetoric sprinkled with god talk.
We need missionaries to reach this people group!
I can’t tell which is more bizarre—the fact that Trump said “bullshit” in the very same sentence that he said he wouldn’t say that word in front of children, or the fact that the crowd chanted “bullshit” afterward.

Agreed.
Christian Nationalism started with Peter in Gethsemane.
While Jesus was reaching towards his cross, Peter reached for his sword.
