Renovation of the Heart As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by Go...

We withdraw from someone when we regard their well-being and goodness as matters of indifference to us, or perhaps go so far as to despise them. We "don't care."

Bonhoeffer's sentence of death was almost certainly by decree of Hitler himself, as were the death sentences of Oster and Dohnanyi. Even Hitler must have known that all was lost for him and for Germany, and that killing others made no particular sense,...

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

It is high time we broke with our theologically based restraint towards the state's actions--which, after all, is only fear. "Speak out for those who cannot speak." Who in the church today realizes that this is the very least that the Bible requires of us?

In public he [Hitler] often made comments that made him sound pro-church or pro-Christian, but there can be no question that he said these things cynically for political gain. In private, he possessed an unblemished record of statements against Christianity and Christians.

The Bonhoeffers saw through Hitler from the beginning, but no one believed his reign would last as long as it did. Surely the Nazis would have their moment, perhaps even a long moment, but then it would be gone.

It's hard not seeing parallels reading share.libbyapp.com/title/599209 about Dietrich Bonhoeffer. While giving a previously planned philosophical speech against the FΓΌhrer Principle, 2 days after Hitler is elected chancellor, the broadcast is mysteriously cut short. Dietrich never mentions Hitler.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

This is a beautiful new locker room at St Pius in Kansas City. They are a private religious school that accepts taxpayer vouchers for partial tuition.

Anyway, the kids at the public school down the road from me learn to run track when they go to track meets β€” they don’t have a track of their own.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

They [the Nazis] would brilliantly co-opt the conservatives and the Christian churches, and, when they had the power to do so, they would turn on them too.

In the early part of this summer [1945 after the end of WWII in Europe] , the ghastly news of the death camps emerged along with the unfathomable atrocities that the Nazis had visited upon their victims in the hellish outposts of their short-lived empire.
