Side note: It was 37 office referrals and over 100 lunch detentions in case you were wondering. According to my sources at the middle school, no one has ever come close to to those numbers. I'm the Wayne Gretzky of middle school troublemakers. No one is catching that record.

Beware of Christians who literalize the words of Revelation about burning suns and seven-headed dragons, but spiritualize the words of Jesus about helping the poor, oppressed, and marginalized.

If you didn’t speak up for George, Breonna and Ahmaud… If you stayed quiet about Keenan, Trayvon, Kalief, Alton, Stephon, Tamir, Sandra, Elijah, Botham, Jordan, Philando and so many more… Then please don’t quote Dr. King this weekend. Actually read and listen to him instead.

I’m going to prioritize love. Above doctrine and dogma. Above theology and ideology. I’m going to prioritize love. Because Jesus didn’t say his followers would be known by their beliefs. He said we would be known by our love.

Churches who say “everyone is welcome!” but have invisible restrictions on women and LGBTQ+ folks (baptism, membership, marriage, leadership, etc.) are actually much more damaging than churches who are up front about their exclusion.

- Alone with the Samaritan woman at the well. - Alone with the woman caught in adultery after her accusers leave. - Alone with Mary Magdalene outside the tomb. Jesus was really bad at following the Billy Graham rule.

I can think of very few things God hates more than casually preying upon vulnerable folks to make a political statement. Immigrants are human beings, made in the image of God, who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, especially by people claiming to be Christians.
