#lectionarypreachers - how are you unpacking enemy love for your congregation this Sunday? (Luke 6:27-38)

@aclu.org are you going to update the mobile justice app from Android users? I can't download it from the play store

I appreciate this, but weak men can do plenty of lasting damage.

The must of old
book tickled my
nose, provoking a
sneeze which never
came; all my senses
absorbed by page.
I'm transported to
a different time and
place, but I'm still the
same. My mind swims,
my soul drowns in
the wave of yesteryear
washing over me.

" As this broken bread was once scattered on the mountains, and after it had been brought together became one, so may thy Church be gathered together from the ends of the earth unto thy kingdom; for thine is the glory, and the power, through Jesus Christ, forever." -Didache, 9.4.

Youth Pastor voice:

Hey kids have you heard of ChatGPT? Well, I'm here to tell you about ChatGOD! You can talk to him about anything, anytime and he holds all the answers!

Y'all, I am a spiritual director. So I got to ask the question, "Where do you see God?"

I took my 8-yr-old autistic son outside to catch his bus. Two women in my neighborhood were walking their dogs. They've never spoken to me even to say hi. "Can your house look any shittier? What a good neighbor you are!" I'm so angry at these 'good neighbors.' Admittedly, my yard looks terrible.

Andrea Tisher is here! My bingo card is nearly full!

That's fair, I might not be paying attention to him, but I have seen him demur from some of the crazier MAGA folk.

These aren't my theological go-to-guys but I feel Kidd and Miller have been consistently critical of Trump, and Walker has at least been lackluster in his praise. I think without Dobbs, he wouldn't have much to say about him at all. I would hardly call them Trump supporters. Am I missing something?

If I could put threads on the blue sky I'd sew a new horizon. There are things I like about both and things I dislike. I hate that you can't share videos here. I hate the search feature on threads. I hate that all the twitter refugees are not in the same place.

I'm not really trying to drag up an old debate but I must test this platform:

David really did rape Bathsheba.

For real, David raped Bathsheba.

X (the unknown variable formerly known as Twitter) has problems which is why I found my way here. But for all it chaotic evilness, it is still better than Facebook.

The brand of evangelicalism that formed me stressed right teaching. But my most recent romp through the Catholic Epistles suggests the warning against false teaching, was by-in-large, about those who abandoned Jesus' way of love. In many ways, the false teachers were us.

I never got to finish my sermon and I woke up shortly after that.

3/3

This was a dream, it is also a parable.

And he just smiled at me like he was high and said, "I managed to get done my little part, early." When he finished I got up to resume my sermon, but they never turned my mic back on and despite my protests dimmed the lights and started playing a video on the big screen. 2/3
