I read tales of heroes. I try to do the right thing. Life is hard and confusing, but I believe that this world is not all there is.

Le scandale, c’est ensuite que l’Église cherche à se servir du pouvoir politique pour assurer sa propre autorité, pour obtenir des avantages. Jacques Ellul, « La subversion du christianisme » #livres

This is one of the most shameful things I've seen in my life. Zelensky and the Ukrainian people are fighting for their lives, and MAGA is all up in its feelings because no one is allowed to disrespect Trump. He can be grotesque, but everyone else has to genuflect. Pathetic.

This “Trump Gaza” AI video is so sick and anti-Christian I don’t have the words for it.

Our chief task in times of darkness and difficulty is to cling to faith, hope, and love. For the danger is that, in our efforts to confront the evils in this world, we too will be overtaken by anger, hate, and fear. Whatever else we lose, we must not lose faith, hope, and love.

Au Chapitre V 👇🏼 Jacques Ellul propose une analyse de la manière dont l’éthique chrétienne a été pour ainsi dire renversée par l’influence (parfois imitation directe, parfois imitation inverse) de l’Islam. C’est au moins vraiment intrigant 🤔 « Food for thought ! » #livres

I am very sorry to hear that Pope Francis is in critical condition. I believe his influence has been most positive in 3 areas: - Reminding Christians of Christ’s command to care for the poor - Reminding us of the need to love ALL our neighbors - Providing comfort to us all during the Covid pandemic

En defendant que l’Apôtre Paul n’était pas misogyne et que la Bible n’est pas antiféministe, Jacques Ellul a proposé ici 👇🏼 une vision biblique de la femme que, à vrai dire, m’a beaucoup touchée. (Douglas Wilson et ses disciples ne pourraient jamais écrire une chose pareille !) #livres

Bien que je ne sois pas totalement d’accord avec tous les points théologiques de Jacques Ellul, je profite de la lecture de ce livre-ci 👇🏼simplement parce que, en tant que chrétien réformée, je sais que la foi peut être subvertie. www.editionslatableronde.fr/la-subversio... #livres

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld  is a standard MCU adventure, nothing out of the extraordinary, normal popcorn blockbuster to watch with your kids, but for me it was really cool to see Sam Wilson superheroing as Captain America—I hope he gets more solo movies on the big screen.

When I am too engrossed in political news (of any kind), I feel it rots my brain and darkens my mood. So I curate the news I consume to highlight 1) what I need to know for my daily life, and 2) what I need to know to love my neighbor. Otherwise, I try to focus on truth, beauty, and goodness.
