Jesus had harsh words for those in power who allowed hunger and poverty to thrive. To those who allow such suffering, Jesus said: “Depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” (Matthew 25:40-41 NRSV) www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMQBwuQ7/ #SnapBenefits

🚨 Breaking News: Portland Rallies Against Donald Trump. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTM2MkKe9/ #portland #portlandoregon

Donald Trump is terrified that Portland’s commitment to democracy, diversity and the common good will ultimately defeat the MAGA movement. He’s right. #Portland will not just surrender, Mr. Trump. More: www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2025...

Hello from Portland. This is Rev. Dr. Chuck Currie with a message for ICE Agents who follow Jesus and consider themselves people of faith. My message: Resign. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMdMW79J/ #iceraids

I agree with U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley. The United States should recognize a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel. Now. (cont.)

Nineteen years ago this week, I was ordained as a minister in the United Church of Christ. I’m thankful for the opportunity to serve God in this way. For 38 years, I’ve been blessed to work as an activist, educator, and minister. #BeBoldBeBraveBeCourageous

Here’s what is happening: the government is trying to silence opponents of the white Christian nationalism that #CharlieKirk embodied. There has never been a time more important to be outspoken against white Christian nationalism, a false Gospel rooted in white supremacy. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMJMgSCL/

FOX News must fire Brian Kilmeade. Last week, on-air, FOX News host Brian Kilmeade called for the mass extermination of people suffering from homelessness and addiction. “Just kill ‘em,” he said.

Why are Trump and other MAGA politicians so obsessed with #Portland? He knows Portlanders will never bend the knee. Portland will not just surrender, Mr. Trump. Read my new op-ed in The Oregonian/OregonLive: www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2025...

Reminder: Sen. Mike Lee’s Twitter posts following the murder of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband were so offensive it set off debate at the global headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Lee’s tradition) and he eventually took them down. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Update: I am saddened that gun violence in the United States has taken another life. My prayers are with Charlie Kirk’s family, and with all those working to end gun violence.

Our response to MAGA should be non-violent. The ballot box is our greatest weapon. We have to break the cycle of violence in the US. I am praying for Charlie Kirk, as Jesus taught us to pray for our enemies. My prayer is for his health, & that God use this moment to soften all our hearts.

Why is Donald Trump so obsessed with #Portland? He knows Portlanders will never bend the knee. Today he said: “When we go there — if we go to Portland, we’re going to wipe them out.” Living in Portland, Trump said, is “like living in hell." (Cont.)

Dear Immigration And Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents: Many of you are good people. Some of strong faith. You are tasked now not with enforcing US law, but with abusing the #humanrights of others. Honor your love of country. Resign your positions. This is a hard ask, but a moral one. #ICERaids

Open Letter to #Portland leaders on #DonaldTrump: I write with deep concern over the possibility that President Donald Trump may well send federal troops to Portland. Portlanders and other Americans must do everything in our power to defend democracy. chuckcurrie.blogs.com/chuck_currie...

Nobody tell him where we keep this. 🖖 #IDIC

Donald Trump’s faith advisor, Paula White, recently said that “to say no to President Trump would be saying no to God.” Has a more idolatrous statement ever been made? Too many worship Donald Trump, replacing Jesus, the Prince of Peace, with Trump… Follow Jesus. Reject Trump.

Whenever I hear Donald Trump or a MAGA acolyte like Marjorie Taylor Greene claim that #God is on their side, I am reminded of what President Abraham Lincoln once said: "Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right." Amen!

In Alaska, Donald Trump failed the cause of freedom and democracy. 🇺🇸🇺🇦

No troops in American streets!

It is time for all good people of faith to repair the sin-sick soul of the nation. That requires fighting racism; bigotry in all forms, rejecting policies that harm God’s creation ― the earth itself ― while loving our neighbors, welcoming the stranger, and working to end poverty.

We have a #Jesus problem in America.

Donald Trump is busy cutting housing assistance, food, and health care for children- all while building a new $200 million ballroom at The White House for himself. Instead of saying "let them eat cake," Trump's message to hungry children and their families seems to be "let them dance."

1000 year floods. Explosive wildfire seasons. Record heat. These are all the result of human-caused climate change. God calls us to be stewards of Creation. To place profit, comfort, and ease above that call is nothing short of sin. We must repent.

Don’t have time for church? Here’s your social media sized #sermon for Sunday: What do you mean by crushing my people, by grinding the face of the poor? says the Lord God of hosts. -Isaiah 3:13-15 NRSV Peace be with you. July 6, 2025

“There are three kinds of patriots, two bad, one good. The bad ones are the uncritical lovers and the loveless critics. Good patriots carry on a lover’s quarrel with their country, a reflection of God’s lover’s quarrel with all the world.” - The Rev. William Sloane Coffin #July4th

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. - Joshua 1:9 (NRSV)

Call your House member - the number is (202) 224-3121 - and tell them to vote against Donald Trump’s big, beautiful betrayal. What we need instead is a moral budget.

Celebrating 10 Years Of Marriage Equality! Ten years ago, marriage equality came to the United States. Now, the Southern Baptist Convention and its MAGA allies in Congress are attempting to rip apart families by ending marriage equality.

Please join me in praying that the cease-fire between Israel and Iran holds. Ultimately, for peace to exist, diplomacy is the only path forward.

The fact that Andrew Cuomo is a leading candidate for mayor shows how damaged the Democratic Party is in New York City and across the country. His record of inappropriate contact with women should be disqualifying. I hope NYC voters make a better choice that honors that great city.

Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war. - Psalm 120: 6-7 (NRSV) In a world awash with war and violence, remember the words of Jesus: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” (cont.)

I’m so thankful for all of the people here and across the country rallying against Donald Trump at the #NoKingsDay rallies. NDonald Trump doesn't want to Make America Great Again. He’s trying to turn back the clock to 1860, and we cannot go back. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjt2NggL/

Heading out soon for the #Portland #NoKings protest. I’m a Christian minister ordained to preach and teach the Gospel of Jesus. The ongoing attacks on democracy, on those living in poverty, on women, and on immigrants must end. The MAGA movement must give way to the Beloved Community movement!

1. May God bless and keep Senator Alex Padilla. Today, he showed the courage we need from every member of Congress. Forced to his knees by Trump’s ICE, Senator Padilla stood tall today for a more just America.

Dear Members of the U.S. Armed Forces and federal law enforcement, including ICE Agents: Do not obey illegal or immoral orders. If you are a person of faith, know that Donald Trump’s policies and actions are incompatible with the teachings of Jesus. (cont.)

In the aftermath of yesterday’s terror attack in Boulder, my timelines on social media are filled with… silence. Where are the statements from our mainline / progressive Christian denominations, churches, clergy and lay leaders?
