Today is my 10th Ordiversary! #pcusa #ordination #PastorLife #TheyHaventBroughOutThePitchforksYet

The constitutional crisis is here and people don't care because it only affects incarcerated trans women so far. This is many things. One of those things is an absolute condemnation of the Evangelical Church to whom Christ will say on that day "Depart from me; I never knew you".

This is what we're doing for #Lent this year www.targetfast.org

Good morning, beloved. The middle ground is not holy ground. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

good to know the trump administration is going to stop trying to prop up their agenda with appeals to a "judeo-christian heritage"

A confession suitable for this Ash Wednesday, written by Howard Thurman (many decades ago):

This is a brutal Ash Wednesday. Destruction and evil are all around. If anyone tells me that I came from ash & will return to it, I may laugh at them. Or cry & not stop. I hope I don’t hit the priest. Because - read the room people - we’re in ash up to our knees. open.substack.com/pub/dianabut...

(b/c i'm foolish, i jumped over to x and saw this exchange a dude had with #PhilVischer) Oh, the irony of abortion abolitionists protesting against the gov't forcing them to do something against their will that we know, statistically, will reduce abortions... +

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. And this - a total condemnation of MAGA, Musk, and Trumpism - is the Hebrew Bible reading from the lectionary:

More old favorite #punk songs - G.O.P. by #Crashdog The specific references in this song are definitely dated to the '90's, but sadly, the message and sentiment is just as needed, true, and relevant as ever youtu.be/-J33uAAePhU?...

revisiting some old favorite #punk albums and forgot how much of a banger "Casualty of War" by #TheBlamed is. youtu.be/oktOK-vszGo?...

What Kind of Christianity: A History of Slavery and Anti-Black Racism in the Presbyterian Church "Yoo debunks the myth that White Presbyterians wouldn't have known the brutal details of slavery, arguing the practices were common knowledge. Ignorance was no excuse because ignorance was implausible."

On this day in 1804, New Jersey appeased the state's enslavers by passing a "gradual emancipation" law that delayed the end of slavery for decades.

Sorting through a box of old tapes from the basement. So now the question isn't "WILL I listen to sucky music today?", but it's "In what way shall I deliver sucky music to my ears?" #fif #IUsedToListenToFiveIronFrenzy @fiveironfrenzy.bsky.social

White Southern Presbyterians and the scars from the fight for racial justice In the fight for racial justice, some White pastors spoke boldly and paid the price. Others chose silence. Their choices shaped the church. Their scars tell the story, writes William Yoo. #BlackHistory #RacialJustice

Imagine being so bad at Sunday school that the pope yelled at you personally

A woman painted to worship music at Trump's inauguration ball. So I added audio from the Ten Commandments and it.... works a little too well 🫠

Have to confess I LOVE that we've had both Bishop Budde speaking truth in love to power in a church with Trump right there in the church; AND Kendrick Lamar doing THAT halftime performance/subversive work of art with Trump also right there in the stadium. Trump has had to sit through both.

Repentance is not a prerequisite for salvation. Repentance is the only legitimate response to salvation. I do not try to follow Jesus to get saved. I try to follow Jesus because I’ve been saved. God graciously offers salvation freely. But OUR journey lies in our response.

Literally the definition of ethnic cleansing

MAGA-fication of the #church literally has christians wanting and choosing (needing?) to identify with the villains in the bible it would be funny if it wasn't absolutely heartbreaking.

“To all the hungry, you locked the doors You sunk the thirsty before their boats make the shores To every stranger, you closed the gates Your new gospel: Spitting venom black with hate.” #FiveIronFrenzy music.youtube.com/watch?v=v9Ze...

Gonna listen to some #BadReligion this morning in honor of all the bad religion being spouted by those in power these days
