His hometown neighbors knew the vengeance of God. They were waiting to find out whether Christ was going to invoke it out loud, whether he was there to muster them to service. He didn't. And they tried to throw him off a cliff.

When "Jesus" stands up in Nazareth and reads from Isaiah — "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor" — he stops in the middle of a sentence. But Isaiah 61 continues: "...and the day of vengeance of our God."

Extracting the moral weight of a Black #veteran’s embodied experience while silencing the voice of the community that actually bore that cost — that’s not progressive solidarity, that’s the oldest trick in the book. #GIJustice is MIA because @sojo.net only pretends to believe in Christ

Excuse me, @kyleiboshi.bsky.social, maybe national @nbcnews.com has an interest in your local affiliate's bungling of #CivilRights protections for #MilitaryFamilies... 🤷 I dunno, maybe not. #GIJustice should be a national, if not a local, priority. But maybe not.

Anti-military #bias should have no place in Oregon, right @lauragunderson.bsky.social? #GIJustice is MIA because civilians control the media, but not their emotions about #veterans and #MilitaryFamikies.

When soldiers asked John the Baptist "What about us?"—they weren't asking permission to quit. They were asking how to serve faithfully. He answered them. Joshua+ (AKA #Jesus ) baptized them. The New Testament never told them to choose. pewpewhq.com/trng/what-ab...

Wilfred Owen thought "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" was The old Lie, but I know of of an even older one; Semper solus eras The old Liar wants you to believe nobody likes you, that you were always alone. The oldest lie, evil itself, isn't patriotism. It's isolation. #PunchyLittleProverb

For two thousand years, #CivilianTheology has scrubbed the military context out of the #Christmas story. We've turned the Incarnation into something safe, something domesticated. But #Advent tells a different story — if you're willing to read it without civilian bias. youtube.com/shorts/7yFNr...
