It's telling that we read the story of Jesus feeding thousands with some bread and a couple of fish and think "wow, Jesus does cool miracles." And not recognize it as a lesson about sharing communal resources to ensure no one goes hungry.

Peter, James, and John, fishermen, were looked at in this same way in ancient Roman-controlled Palestine (Judea/Judah, Samaria, Galilee) by the powers that be. Jesus emboldened them. Empowered them. Gave them dignity. We are to do the same.

"We're not a democracy, we're a #constitutional #republic." An attempt to sound smart, but in reality, ignorant. Knowing a constitutional republic is a representative #DEMOCRACY is basic middle school social studies.

Franklin Graham sold out Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. Do not follow such "leaders" that cast their lot for power.

THREAD: Mr. Jeffress is showing us a classic example of idolatry. It's not the job of a preacher to make a leader "feel good." A preacher does not work for nor answer to the president or any leader. Their job is to preach God's truth with preferential treatment for the marginalized.

I've never understood the flex of "hard work." I don't value it. I value honest work. Quality work. Authentic work. Honorable work. Fair work. Righteous work. I value creative work. Smart work. Efficient work. I don't value hard work. Hard work doesn't define character.

When we see narratives that blame the most vulnerable people for problems caused by the most powerful, I think it’s important to remember that this viral spread of misinfo is a more pervasive version of what the powerful have always done to defend themselves, with tech they steered in this direction

Yes, it's nature. But it's getting worse due to industrialization. John Dominic Crossan's take on God's earthly judgment, the wages of #sin is #death. It's not #God punishing us, it's simple "natural" consequences for our actions. . #lafires #helene #wildfire

We look for people who are poor through their own fault, and then claim we are willing to help the "worthy poor," but not the rest. Conveniently, we then conclude that the worthy poor are just a few, and that therefore no radical action is needed. - Justo González

(2/2) The poor throughout the world know that all of these, rather than providing an escape from their problems, generally have made them worse. The hope of the poor is grounded rather in the intolerability of the present situation. - Ignatio Ellacuría

(1/2) The hope is the poor is not grounded on general human kindness, nor in the goodwill of the powerful, nor in the dynamics of development. . .
