Breaking news. Today Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the opening of a new religious affairs office at the so-called Department of War. What could go wrong… In reality, Hegseth is not opening a religious affairs office. Instead, it’s a center for the promotion of white Christian nationalism.

Christian minister here. Charlie Kirk was not a martyr for Christ. Christians should reject Charlie Kirk’s teachings because his teachings reject Jesus, the Prince of Peace, for the false gospel of white Christian nationalism.

Want to make America great? Feed the hungry, house those who are homeless, welcome immigrants and strangers, and serve those Jesus called the least of these. #MAGA

No one is trying to cancel Christianity. Christians have a place of historic privilege in the United States, and rarely face true discrimination or bigotry. What is under “attack” is the false Gospel of white Christian nationalism, a theology rooted in white supremacy.

If you are taking advice from Franklin Graham on how to vote as a Christian this fall, you’ll get lost. He says to vote based on “Biblical principles.” But Graham’s principles aren’t from the Bible; they come from Donald Trump. #franklingraham #donaldtrump #falsegospel #maga #election2026

As the midterms approach, as we get ready to face another campaign in the battle for the soul of America, we know this much to be true. Donald Trump is terrified of the Gospels.

Jesus welcomed everyone to the table. We should offer the same radical hospitality in our churches and communities. Welcome the stranger. Welcome the immigrant. Welcome the widow and orphan. Welcome children. Offer an extravagant welcome to all those on the margins. This is how to follow Jesus.

Dear Regal: As a minister in the United Church of Christ, I am writing to Regal Theatres to demand that you immediately stop showing the war.gov promotional spot that appears before movies. The video is a propaganda video. Nothing more, nothing less.

Too many Christians see their faith as a license to discriminate when God calls us to love our neighbors and to welcome strangers. If your faith leads you to hate, you’ve missed the essence of Jesus. #christian #progressivechristianity #maga #unitedchurchofchrist #jesus

Bible Verses Donald Trump Will Never Speak… When Donald Trump reads Scripture as part of the "#AmericaReadsTheBible" event, we know there are certain passages that he will never speak aloud. Truth be told, Donald Trump is terrified of the liberating message offered by Jesus & the Hebrew Prophets.

Churches across the globe mark today as #EarthDaySunday. We are called to be stewards of Creation, not exploiters of it. In abandoning that responsibility, we have created a world not in God’s image, but rather a world fueled by greed and filled with raging fires and rising oceans. ⬇️🌎 #EarthDay

Do you know what is 1000% worse than depicting yourself as Jesus? Cutting food assistance for children and their families, building an economy for the super-rich on the backs of low-income men and women, and fighting a war of choice that brings more chaos, death, & violence every day.

GOD V DONALD TRUMP

War crimes are crimes against God, for we are all God’s children and peace is God’s greatest hope for humanity. In the battle between God and Donald Trump, be a peacemaker.

He shall judge between the nations and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation; neither shall they learn war any more. - Isaiah 2:4 NRSVUE

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again...

This is the Jesus of Easter. #easter #jesus #holyweek #unitedchurchofchrist #christian
Jesus was born a Jew in Roman-occupied Bethlehem. As a child, his family fled to Egypt as political refugees. After he returned, Jesus offered bread and wine to neighbors and strangers- as he preached a message of liberation from oppression and captivity. Jesus taught that love is the Greatest Commandment and practiced radical non-violence in defiance of the Roman Empire. He took sides, placing himself with those oppressed and living in poverty. Welcomed into Jerusalem by the Jewish people, he was put to death by the Roman Empire as a state criminal. Yet death could not contain him. A woman was the first to preach his story. This is the Jesus of Easter.

Religious bigotry is anti-American. In a sea of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, Christians must stand with our cousins in faith. We are called to love our neighbors and to welcome strangers.

Jesus tells us that: “Blessed are the peacemakers…” Pete Hegseth has a different view. He invokes Scripture repeatedly in support of war and death. Jesus taught: “Blessed are the merciful.” Hegseth boasts that the U.S. is beating Iran “decisively, devastatingly and without mercy.”

BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS NO WAR WITH IRAN The people of #Iran deserve to be free-free from a radical theocracy and from foreign interference. That said, it is the people of Iran who must bring about change, not the United States Armed Forces. Blessed are the peacemakers.

Note: Appeals to “precedent” are confusing here, since several non-politicians have lied in honor at the Capitol — including Rev. Billy Graham. The list below is from the House’s own website on the topic: history.house.gov/Institution/...
One of the sources told CNN that the decision to reject the request to lie in honor - which had been made on behalf of Jackson's family - was in keeping with precedent and was not political. The source said that requests for
conservative political activist Charlie Kirk and former Vice President Dick Cheney were also denied, and that the general practice is for presidents, select military officials and select government officials to lie in honor. It was last done for former President Jimmy Carter.Individuals Who Have Lain in Honor in the Capitol Rotunda

Please continue to protest the mass deportations undertaken by the Trump administration. These deportations are cruel and rooted, not in law, but in xenophobia. We must remain nonviolent as Trump seeks to create a crisis in #Portland that would justify deploying more unneeded troops to our city.

Release ALL the Epstein files! 

1%

As of January 6, 2025, only 1% of the Epstein files have been released. That's it. TIME reports: "More than two weeks after the deadline for the release of all files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, top Department of Justice officials have disclosed that more than 99% percent of the materials have not yet been made public."

Fueled by white Christian nationalism and a belief held by many right-wing Christians that God ordained Trump to be president, the #January6th attack was more insidious and dangerous than 9/11 because it was led by a defeated president and undertaken by American citizens.
