Today is a day of lament. A day for repentance. A day for listening. A day for truth.

Church and society as a whole -- but especially church. Something about Jesus telling the disciples not to keep the children away...

Having children feel safe & welcome as full participants as part of our churches on Sunday morning is more important than an adult’s preference for things that cater to them. We’re the adults. They’re the kids. Let’s stop throwing our selfish, self-serving tantrums.

🔥🔥Looking for your hot takes!!!🔥🔥 This Sunday I’m preaching on Mark 9:14-29, where Jesus heals a possessed boy and the father famously says to Jesus, “I do believe; help me to overcome my unbelief!” What’s stands out to you in this story?

As a pastor, we get all kinds of phone calls & emails from orgs looking for our support & participation. Just took a call from the Billy Graham org. Made sure the lady wrote down “Jesus and John Wayne” by Dr Du Mez @kkdumez.bsky.social. She said she’d check it out.

The church for much of its history has been quite happy to think of Jesus has having all authority in heaven, but has yet to work out what it might mean that He already possesses all authority in earth. ~N. T. Wright & Michael F. Bird “Jesus and the Powers”

White evangelicals are baptized into a faith which doesn't speak to the poor and marginalized but to the self important. If the Love God and Love Others as yourself is the byword of christianity, their politics is pro-God and anti-Others They can be very generous, provided it's on their conditions+

This is a rebellion. Hope is a holy act of resistance. Loving our neighbours as ourselves isn’t just following the Jesus way—it’s active rebellion against the selfish amorality of Empire. I rebel.

Abolish ICE. As an organization, it is evil to its core. It cannot be reformed. But let justice roll down like waters, & righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. & abolish ICE.

On changing the name of Lake Ontario: “He has no love for our mother earth. He typifies the conquest spirit of Andrew Jackson. Erase the Indigenous peoples, mine & pillage ‘til resources are gone & then move on.” Richard Zane Smith via @ict-news.bsky.social

Lake Ontario as a name has been used on European maps for at least 139 years before before the United States first existed. And it was used by the First Nations peoples for long, long before that. But sure, pretend like you can rename it.

It’s been a minute… This morning I’ll be preaching for the first time since May 17th… the longest I’ve gone without preaching in over a decade. I don’t usually use much for notes, but thought that I could use some training wheels to help me find the groove again.

In Matthew 19:8, Jesus points out that some of the scriptures have been shaped by the hardened hearts of humans & that, when that happens, they do not reflect the intention & love of God. @pastortrey05.com

Every single decision made about Sunday worship should have children in mind. Jesus’s church community will be one that echoes His, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Pay attention, you wealthy people! Weep & moan over the miseries coming upon you. Your riches have rotted. Moths have destroyed your clothes. Your gold & silver have rusted, & their rust will be evidence against you. It will eat your flesh like fire. ~Jacob (Jesus’s brother)

“Jesus warned against mistaking the work of God’s Holy Spirit for the work of the devil. There is equal danger the other way round when people suppose they are working for God, while unthinkingly serving the powers.” ~N. T. Wright & Michael F. Bird “Jesus and the Powers”

To truly remember & honor those who have lost their lives to the violence of war, we must actively work for peace. Peacemaking is not passive, but it is love in action. For violence is never overcome by violence (this merely begets more violence). Violence is overcome by love.

Today is Pentecost—the day which commemorates the coming of the Holy Spirit on the first disciples of Jesus. It recalls the founding of the Christian Church. It’s a reminder of the fire that still burns inside of us, enabling us be the loving people Jesus has called us to be!

The homily is not being "political" when it points out political, social, & economic sins. It is simply the word of God becoming incarnate in our reality, which often reflects not God's reign but sin. -St. Oscar Romero

For the followers of Jesus, we are a part of a community of priests. We all serve our neighbours as pastors, preachers, evangelists, deacons, elders, etc as a part of Christ’s body. Such roles are not decided by men, but have already been decided by Holy Spirit.

A good deal of the New Testament, following directly from the teaching & example of Jesus Himself, is about the radical definition of power. Power in weakness. Power through humble service. Power—& indeed victory—through self-sacrifice. ~N. T. Wright & Michael F. Bird

American leaders are rededicating the country to the god of America: A god of power, affluence, violence, whiteness, war, bigotry, empire, & oppression. They serve a god who is the antithesis of Jesus.
