So If The World Hates Us, We

When The Church Takes Affairs Of The State More Seriously Than They Do Jesus, Pax Romana Becomes Its Gospel And The President Becomes The Son Of God.

Sometimes Our Tunnel Vision Is Limited To What We See Outside Our Window. Until Racial Injustice Becomes Personal Then I Don't Think It Moves Us In Our Gut.

When You Look At The Bible, And I Read The Bible Very Seriously, For A Lot Of My Life, I Believed The Bible Ordained The Death Penalty, And The Bible Seemed To Be Very Clear About That. But The More I Look, The More Troubled I Became Because It's Not That Simple. In The Bible, There's Some 30 Death-worth Crimes, Like Working On The Sabbath, Or Disrespecting Your Parents. Are We That Fundamental That We Should Bring Back That Death Penalty?

We Are Faithful Not To The Triumphant Golden Eagle (ironically, Also An Imperial Symbol Of Power In Rome) But To The Slaughtered Lamb.

The Church Is A Place Where Broken People Can Fall In Love With A Beautiful God.
