a real question from a child to their parent: “When David killed Goliath, God was sad, right?” It’s wisdom I continue to chew over years later.

Our actions tell the truth about what we believe. The followers of Jesus will embody the Christlike characteristics of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, & self-control.

I was a pastor for over 10 years. I am a Christian…. & let me just say that i no longer put a lot of stock in what someone tells me their beliefs are. I care more about your behavior than your beliefs. A person’s behavior will tell me what they ACTUALLY believe, rather than 1/

I have come to this conclusion again and again: it's always been this way. There's Empire Christianity and there's Christianity that tries to follow the Gospels.

Much of what calls itself “Christianity” is entirely anti-Christ—actively working against the loving, narrow way of Jesus.

“Christian” as a term basically has no meaning. It’s just an adjective that’s tossed around without any required verbs. What we verb tells the truth about what adjectives truly describe our character. May we verb like Jesus.

I have met many amazing saints from a wide variety of backgrounds, denominations, and experiences. Their faith in Jesus shines out of them, with the evidence of the Holy Spirit in the fruit of their lives. They embody the empathy of Jesus that would-be-pastors call “sin.”

When it looks, walks, and talks like Caesar ... it is antiChrist.

Christian Nationalism in One Sentence: "I want a Christian nation where Christ rules and Christian morality/ethics are supreme ... and I'll kill, deport, imprison, and hurt anyone who gets in my way to have it!" When it looks, walks, and talks like Caesar ... it isn't Christ.

“Jesus suffering injustice with humanity in order to deliver humanity from the injustice we author is the foundation of the gospel.”
Trey Ferguson@PastorTrey05Oct 26
The injustice of crucifixion is the point. God does not author injustice. Jesus suffering injustice with humanity in order to deliver humanity from the injustice we author is the foundation of the gospel. Defeating that injustice once & for all in the resurrection is the fruit.

Insofar as death in general is the result of sin, Christ suffered a consequence he did not merit. But the crucifixion was an *INjustice* Bad explanations of the atonement lead to distortions of God's character, which leads to Christians holding a warped definition of "justice."

Our character—our actions—show the truth about what we actually believe. It doesn’t matter what we say we believe when our actions tell another story. Following Jesus produces lives of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, & self-control.

Happy Sunday, friends! Looking for a Jesus-centered message? Here’s what I shared last week: • What is “church?” • What was the first church like? • What can we learn from them? The First Church - Acts 2:36-47 youtu.be/7IOvyWkkkS4

"Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights & withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the orphan." -Isaiah 10:1-2

Vote to abolish ICE. Vote to stand up to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Vote to reject the economic war being waged against Canada. Vote to reject the bombing of children. Vote to reject the antichrist “Christian Nationalism” movement. Vote like Jesus is watching.

There has never been a war that met Augustine’s just war criteria. Also, the only just war is a war waged by Jesus. And he didn’t.

Reminder: All true Biblical literalists will look like pirates. Or at least that’s what Jesus says.

It is through Jesus that we understand the Scriptures more fully. Jesus is the fullest revelation of God. No-one has ever seen God, but Christ who is himself God has made him known. It is through Christ that we most fully discover what God is like. ~ @JosiahHawthorne

Replying to @theshepherd2018 @TimAAmor
There’s no world in which the adjective “Christian” can effectively modify a noun like “nationalist” while also referring to following Jesus of Nazareth. It’s sorta like how awesome/awful & terrific/terrifying used to be synonyms til they grew to mean somethin totally different.

“Christian” as a term has become entirely void of any meaningful connection to knowing and following Jesus. And, honestly, it’s been that way for a long time.
