HAPPY TRANSGENDER AWARENESS MONTH IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST As this month goes forward, I want to take the time to help reflect on this month as well as explain why I have been vocal about this issue lately and why I think Christians need to start. As Transgender people are growing up in this world as people made in His image, we must consider the rise in discrimination and violence raised against transgender people. Especially on a systemic level. Several anti-trans bills have been pushed and passed by the administration we are currently under while the influence of transphobia has shaped the world, especially in America, of encouraging a culture of death. Especially by suicide. God knows the ways and paths we take and He made for us, especially for transgender people. “You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.” Psalms 139:2-3 He even made us without error or mistake. “For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes beheld my unformed substance. In your book were written all the days that were formed for me, when none of them as yet existed.” Psalms 139:13-16 We recognize that in Jesus Christ, we are not separated or divided by identities, but wear the same body which is Christ. “As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is no longer Jew or Greek; there is no longer slave or free; there is no longer male and female, for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise.” Galatians 3:27-29 We need to help preach not just a mere love of God to transgender people, but an inclusive message that shows God wants them as they are: being transgender and not feeling the need to reject who they are. I am speaking more about this recently as in my prayer and fasting, I feel the Holy Spirit and hear the message that convicts me that transgender folk need to be preached a correct message as opposed to the false message promoted today by the devil which teaches transphobia. The fruits of the bad tree teach & encourage suicide while the good tree teaches and promotes life. It would be much better to choose Jesus, who is the Way of Life. Not just life on earth, but life eternally in Christ! So, let’s dedicate this month to showing love in the name of Jesus Christ transgender people by letting them know God loves them as transgender. He does not despise them or think their transgender identity is false or sinful. Furthermore, let’s take a page from the evangelicals in preaching repentance, telling transphobes to repent of their sinful transphobia which leads to path of destruction and many go into it. Preach love, live peace and let Christ’s Light shine within you. Amen.

Yes He does

Something to consider that I’ve only just discovered recently. Facts. 👇🏻

Because this Muslim is not a bigot like other right wing Muslims or Christians. Just like many gay people voted for a Christian in Texas.

“Like many in the modern age, we distinguish ourselves from our medieval and ancient ancestors by refusing to accept “justice” as an eschatological category. We long for justice here-and-now, and our anxiety about oppression and inequality is not soothed by a promise that all things will be settled in the hereafter. We are not unlike Jesus in this way, for Jesus’ ministry, while ultimately cosmic, involved the healing and restoration of individuals who suffered from disease and religious and imperial oppression. However, if we neglect the cosmic, universal, and eschatological aspects of Jesus’ incarnation, death, and resurrection, we risk proclaiming our own stories instead of God’s story.” For more, check out the article in full: earthandaltarmag.com/posts/a…

BROTHER GIVE US A WORD (A daily devotion from the Society of St. John The Evangelist) Narrow Gate Jesus says that throughout our lives there will always be two roads which we can take: the easy one which takes us through a wide gate, and the hard one which takes us through the narrow gate. It is this second road, although hard, which ultimately leads to life. Jesus is holding out for us a choice. You must choose! Br. Geoffrey Tristram, SSJE

It’s not election deception, except to people who can’t read and wish to be lazy voters.

Just reading this sort of unchrist like reaction and I can only think of one thing “You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns or figs from thistles? In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:16-20 “Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21 Food for thought

The writing was on the wall for the republicans to listen, but they couldn’t bother to do that and coward republicans cheered on decisions based on vibes instead of legitimate policies or actions in favor of democracy or the people. As a former Republican, I find it hilarious that the ones I’m seeing that are crying “what went wrong? Why did they vote for the democrats?” are just somehow unaware of all the actions done and the consequences brought on by Republicans as well as the complaints by other republicans being ignored by these same ignorant ones. Time for you to wake up. Or perhaps, get woke? Idk

Texas went blue because people were fed up with nonsense campaign ads without much promises and people blaming democrats for Texas’ problems when republicans were in control most of the time. I know it’s bad when several republican family members of mine as well as friends in the Texas area seem to want to turn blue just because they can’t trust republicans anymore. Plus, the failed attempts by Paxton to sabotage Talarico kinda sealed their doom.
