The Bible contains within itself the logical coherence needed to free us from the very systems that derive their supposed authority therefrom.

If social media has taught us anything it’s:

Nobody needs an audience, but everyone needs a community.

I worship the Spirit, not the Law.

If following the Spirit departs from the Law, then the Law must change.

What About Us? β€” Pew Pew HQ The Earliest Christian Attitudes to Military Service If you've spent any time in church as a soldier, veteran, or military family member, you've probably felt it. That moment when the conversation...

When soldiers asked John the Baptist "What about us?"β€”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.

If civilians feel betrayed, imagine how you’d feel if you gave years of your life to this project and watched others die for it. You might just… give up. Maybe that’s why so may #veterans are committing suicide, not just bc combat trauma.

A Call to Christians in a Crisis of Faith and Democracy | Stand for Justice & Faith β€” Act Now Join Christians in resisting the rise of authoritarianism, defending democracy, and living out faith through justice, compassion, and biblical principles in challenging times.

The latest #SocialGospel movement claims Bonhoeffer's mantle but won't bear it's weight. He spoke of a the need for a religionless Christianity, but what @wilsonhartgrove.bsky.social and @shaneclaiborne.bsky.social are trying to build is little more than another Christless religion.

πŸ˜‡ Lent 1 Writing the Wake of War

Penitence has been co-opted by cultural pressures that actively harm people, particularly women navigating body image and #veterans carrying unprocessed moral injury.
The real call of Lent is to quiet the noise, listen to the still voice within, and stop giving up on yourself.

The serpent in Genesis 3 is "phronimos" (discerning) and appears to be the only creature in the garden that is. Naturally, the snake feels alone.

Temptation isn't seduction toward destruction. It's a serpentine appeal from a feeling of isolation.

In 2020 I was pitching #GruntGod β€” #veterans and faith, an underserved market. My agent submitted to #StanGundry, SVP at Zondervan. He questioned whether my Zondervan credits were real. Called it "a curious situation." Rejected the proposal. (He's rejected every vet-author I've spoken to...)

Ten years after the towers fell, I stood on a stage in my dogtag "chains" and told a room what war does to a person. @shaneclaiborne.bsky.social assembled that event. To evoke my experience, I cite Genesis, Cain, "A burden too great to bear." Typical sob story for a typical progressive audience.

The institutional math by @oregonstate.edu is insidiously simple: uphold an unlawful ban against a #veteran who publicly names overt bias, celebrate and reward the #BlueFalcons serving the institution's preferred narrative.

Dividing a federally protected class is the new "separate but equal."

Exodus 24:12a (LXX) depicts God as the spatial interior of the encounter, with the mountain as the architectural envelope.
Moses πŸ† "enters" God the way a priest enters the πŸ‘ sanctuary.

At Sinai, YHWH recedes from public access to become an intimate partner with Humanity. #TheFightinWord

Trump Turns Civil Rights Champion in Manic Posting Spree Less than two weeks after posting a racist video of the Obamas, the president shared a dozen photos showing him with civil rights icon Jesse Jackson.

It should come as no surprise that Trump praised Jackson (to insult Obama); both of them prioritized appearance and media exposure over the risks and responsibility of the work itself.

Game knows game.
