Today reminds me of the time I was at Clemson the day of the Emanuel Nine martyrdom down in Charleston.

I walked up to an older black gentleman who was watching a speech by MLK Jr. on youtube. I asked him why.

He said, "I want to remember to respond with love, not hate."

Never forgotten that.

Juneteenth is not a “black holiday.”

Juneteenth is an AMERICAN holiday.

It commemorates the day that America, slowly, began to right its most heinous wrong.

The Trump administration conceded in a court filing Monday that it mistakenly deported a Maryland father to El Salvador “because of an administrative error” and argued it could not return him because he’s now in Salvadoran custody.

The story of Ruth is driven by God’s care for vulnerable people.

What if God’s people decided to drive Ruth back to her own land?

What if Boaz was insensitive to the plight of sojourners & vulnerable women in his field?

What if the town withheld care for the poor, the sojourner, and the elderly?

Post a warning

The Church might be the only community of people that establishes its credibility in the world by routinely and fearlessly confessing and repenting of sin.

And we lose our credibility by refusing to name our sins.

No - is it good? 🤨

In order that we may not be condemned as thieves by God, we must endeavor, as far as possible… that our neighbor’s advantage should be promoted no less than our own.

John Calvin, The Eighth Commandment

Praying for you now. The Holy Spirit will lead you.

God himself taught us how to pray.

“The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this: that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever; but you, O [Yahweh], are on high forever.” (Psalm 92:6-8 ESV)

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.

If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”

— Desmond Tutu

I have never been so embarrassed to be an American.

"The definition of righteous people is that they disadvantage themselves to advantage others.

The wicked are willing to disadvantage the community in order to advantage themselves."

~Bruce Waltke in his commentary on the Book of Proverbs

“A man who lies habitually becomes a lie, and it is increasingly impossible for him to know when he is lying and when he is not.” —Howard Thurman
