“O God, it is hard to take in or understand what those created in your image do to one another in these disjointed days.”

Oppression is literally a crushing of the image of God in humans. To say or do nothing when power is abused is to contribute to the defacing of God’s image in others. In other words, it is to join with the enemy of God who sought to destroy that same image.

"We can no longer send thoughts and prayers or likes on Instagram. We have to literally do something. I want to call people to action. The next generation doesn’t want to hear what we have to say, but wants to see what we’re going to do."

We want the warhorse.
Jesus rides a donkey.
We want the eagle.
The Holy Spirit descends as a dove.
We want to take up swords.
Jesus takes up a cross.
We want the roaring lion.
God comes as a slaughtered lamb.
We keep trying to arm God.
God keeps trying to disarm us.

A lot of conservative Xians would be shocked at the degree to which materialism, greed, & economic malpractice/injustice are condemned in Scripture.
The unbalanced way different types of sin are addressed is painfully inconsistent & damaging. More socio-cultural than theological.

Christian churches are not as a rule, model communities of good behavior.
They are, rather, [to be] places where human misbehavior is brought out in the open, faced, and dealt with.

Reflecting on this contrarian but fascinating idea from Henri Nouwen:
“The Christian way of life does not take away our loneliness; it protects and cherishes it as a precious gift.”
I wonder how it could alter things for us if we believed loneliness had a gift element to it

No matter how you vote, you are welcome in our church. I just ask that you would commit to see politics thru Jesus & not Jesus thru your politics; that you would be curious about why your brothers & sisters see things differently.
And that you would live humble, prayerful lives.
