John 17 - so great! Jesus prays for the holiness of his people, the unity of his people, the protection of his people, the mission of his people, & the safe arrival of his people in glory. I have exactly zero confidence in our ability today but total confidence in Jesus' prayers.

When Christ called his first apostles they were "casting their nets" and "mending their nets" (Matt 4). Both casting and mending are the essential work of ministry - seeking to bring people to faith and seeing the broken and torn restored/equipped. Let’s grow churches doing both.

The only type of Protestant Christianity that is substantially growing? Non-denoms I have a theory as to why: Non-denoms thrive on the declining institutional trust in the U.S. I test that theory in a new post today - and there's something there. www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/is-distrus...

Unity in the Church is * Historical - one with the Apostles in the Faith (Jn 17) * Spiritual - “of the Spirit” (Ephesians 4) * Personal - we can “dwell together in unity” in the household of God (Ps 133) With Jesus, let us pray and strive for this unity today as a witness to his love.

Looking at the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5, I can't help observing that any notion of holiness that makes us less loving, less kind, less joyful, less patient, less peaceful, etc. is, well... mistaken. Holiness is love on fire not condescension on ice.

The dreams God gives will take us to places we could not imagine being but only by asking of us sacrifices we could not have imagined making. The word we've been given to hold on to is a word that tests the soul until the promise finds fulfillment.

"I will arise and go to my father..." The words of the Prodigal are the waking words of us all every day. We head for those waiting arms because we know that - somehow - the love there is greater than the sin and brokenness of where we've been. My friend, mercy is new every morning. Rejoice.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Pentecost made the Church visible and public, irrevocably so. Christian Faith while personal is never private, never merely 'mine'. It is communal and confessional, vocal and visible. There is no permit for carrying a concealed faith.

God did not ask Adam & Eve, "Where are you?" because he didn't know where they were, but because they needed to hear his merciful voice calling them out of shame and hiding. He still calls. The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost and he longs for us to come home.
