People always overthink this stuff. Everything I did when I was on the earth was oriented around a very clear goal, to usher in the kingdom of my father (John 6:38) As I taught my disciples to pray: ‘let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven’. In heaven people aren’t sick. That’s why I...
I told my followers that my kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36). I also told them to render what is the president’s to the president and to God what is God’s.l (Matthew 22:21). I have my own agenda and I’m not remotely phased by who’s in office. My agenda still moves forward. I guarantee I...
Actually Jesus is recorded to have healed Peter’s, wife’s mother ( Matthew 8:14). He certainly gave no prohibition on marriage. He celebrated weddings. As far as Jesus goes, he didn’t plan on being in this world very long. And as it turns out he was right since he ended up being executed around...
There really are lots of issues to talk about, like health care, social security, the national debt, etc, besides how fascist or communist each side is
The availabile major news channels are openly campaigning for one party or another. The right has one channel, and left has like 3 or 4, and they each run the exact same material. It’s like watching a election coverage nonstop. Wasn’t there a time when we only had to do this once every 4 years...
MLK: we must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools
He’s talking about shifting how we define the people around us by using a more inclusive definition
The difference between MLK and too many of our so called justice warriors is that he worked under the assumption that there was a conscience that needed to be stirred to make change. In that way he actually assumed the best about those whose minds he was trying to change. And his tactics...
To the person that asked about quantifying results. We can absolutely quantify but calculating how much actual time and money we spend lifting the burdens of marginalized groups. Angry rants really don’t accomplish that. I’m talking about practical ways we can actually make an impact on real...
The reality is that there are actual warriors on both sides of the political ailse and in between that are willing to suffer for the needs of others. They often don’t get any praise at all from their peers, theyre not celebrated but work in anonymity. When we assume those who don’t vote like we...
I have no doubt MLK inspired members of the clan to do some self evaluation. How do you like people to approach you when they call you out for something? Would you feel inspired to change if they just kept telling of what scumbag and waste of humanity you are? One must first identify with his...
