@autonerdery did you see Jim & James today? #WCT

I’m trying to craft words to describe my distaste for having the American Flag and Christian Flag displayed in my church’s sanctuary but said words keep devolving into unintelligible sounds of rage.

Gore laughed Lehman out of the room and told him to hit the road. So Lehman did, scurrying over to Geneva, where he turned his batshit ideas into the #WIPOCopyrightTreaty (#WCT) and the #WIPOPerformancesAndPhonogramsTreaty (#WPPT).

Happy St Patrick’s Day!

If you’re interested in learning about St Patrick’s extraordinary story, with pirates, a daring escape, a love of enemies, & surprisingly no green 🍺, check out this short message:

Isaiah 58 reminds us what fasting should be - not to follow a rule and give up some food and then still exploit your workers, but "to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free and break every yoke
... to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter, when you see the naked, to clothe them."

It fascinates me that few will simply consider that God has given us words in writing of the evil one, evil angels, evil men, holy men, holy angels, and God Himself, and that all need be taken as such.

Gospel words

without Gospel actions

come from a dead gospel

Social justice is embodying the righteousness of the Kingdom of God.

That through our lives & by our prayers we might see God’s Kingdom come & God’s will be done here on earth as it is in heaven.

It’s following Jesus’ example of loving our neighbors where they are.

When Jesus returns, He will “judge all people according to their deeds.”

What do you think of this statement?

Does it sound right to you?

(From a highly respected theologian—whom I happen to agree with 😮)

Happy Tuesday morning prayer time!

That means it’s time for my dedicated Tuesday morning prayers to start my work-week!

How can I pray for you? 🙏

The problem with the Christian faith is that, historically, we tend to create a Jesus that looks just like us:

•hating the same people we hate
•loving the same people we love
•interpreting scripture the same way we interpret scripture
•blessing us (& not “them”)

#wcm #WeirdChristianMastodon #wct #WeirdChristianTwitter #FollowingJesus #Christianity #religion

In scripture, we see that Jesus loved children so much that He gave them His time & full attention.

Jesus still loves children so much that He gives them His time & full attention.

What might change if we began planning our Sunday community worship time with this in mind?

‘You’ve had a difficult journey.
You must be tired & dirty.
Let me wash your feet.
The banquet’s ready.’

-Theologian Kosuke Koyama
(imagining what Jesus says to those who see Him upon death)

#wcm #WeirdChristianMastodon #wct #WeirdChristianTwitter

Love the sinner, hate the sin—not from Jesus.

Love the sinner, hate your own sin—this feels closer.

Love the sinner, repent of your own sin—even closer.

Love your neighbor as yourself. Deny yourself, pick up your cross, & follow me.—100% yes! Jesus actually said this.

#wct #WeirdChristianTwitter #wcm

May we see guns
beaten into plowshares.

May we learn violence no more
but practice peacemaking.

May we learn hatred no more
but be transformed by Love.

Come, Lord Jesus,
hear our prayer.

#MontereyPark #wct #WeirdChristianTwitter #Anabaptist #Mennonite #Christian

How we love—embodying the love of Jesus—IS our true theology. Our actions tell the truth about what we really believe.

#wct #WeirdChristianTwitter

Today is a good day for our actions
to prayerfully embody
Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
& Self-Control
