Jesus didn’t disparage other religions. Christians shouldn’t either.

Jesus: Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no. Trump: Gasoline prices will drop like a rock.

Idolatry on full display in America, professed “Christian Nation” by so many, goes to show how few (any?) within this regime and those who support it actually try to live an authentic Jesus-led life.

Obviously it’s idolatry to suggest he is some kind of god, but it’s also idolatry—arguably the actual sin of the golden calf—to suggest God stands with him.

Our theology ought to make us better neighbors, not worse.

Jesus never asked us to have flawless on-paper theology. He asked us to have perfect real-world love. As in complete love, not withheld from those we’ve decided are unfit to receive grace.

If the way of Jesus was faithfulness—even to the cruel cross designed to intimidate and shame—then churches have no business measuring their success by numbers. A congregation of 5 may well be healthier than a congregation of 5,000.

Scott Jennings is the embodiment of the MAGA movement as a whole. The real demons come out when they know they’re losing.

Preparing to facilitate an honor walk for a deceased patient who is donating their organs. A sobering moment reminding me that many people are fundamentally good and will go great lengths to love even strangers. May God grant them and their family peace.

The supremacist courts of the earth may conspire to defend the status quo but higher courts in heaven will always fight to seek justice for the marginalized and underrepresented.

Words have a variety of meanings. King Charles is not the sort of king the president would like to be. Jesus is not the sort of king the president remotely comprehends. We Christians should seek the kingdom that protects everyone, not just a ballroom of political insiders.

Toxic Christianity teaches us to wage endless culture wars against our perceived societal enemies. Jesus teaches us to love across boundaries so that even our cultural enemies become neighbors.

This so-called Christian administration—with their lies and denials—has conditioned us to believe nothing and trust no one. Further evidence that Christian Nationalism could not be more distant from Jesus and the way of truth.

👋 Hi I’m a minister and interfaith hospital chaplain who was raised fundamentalist evangelical Christian. I deconstructed and now my faith is messy but authentic (and life-giving). I still identify as Christian but if I had to choose I’d rather be called a good human.

Now he has a phony blue pool to match his phony Christianity.

When you ask complementarians to show you where the Bible says women can’t be pastors

I would say the vast majority of Christians who insist homosexuality is inherently wrong refuse to study affirming/queer theology. And not just randos on the internet, pastors and teachers who claim to be Bible experts. Their certainty is based on zero research.

This man is gonna have me singing is his damn choir before it's all said and done, because Hallelujah!

Probably wouldn’t expect to hear this from a Christian pastor but some people should really stop reading the Bible. They should just put it on the shelf and not touch it until they’ve learned some basic human decency. Scripture isn’t meant to enable moral mediocrity.

To my evangelical sisters and brothers who are finally seeing Trump for the conman he has always been: please don’t stop at repenting of your stupidity. Repent also of your misogyny and racism. Otherwise you will wind up voting for the next antichrist as well.

This guy doesn't get enough credit for being chill AF. He has the surgeon's hands of personalities.

Jesus didn’t measure faithfulness by our ability to tack on Bible verses to every other sentence. That kind of Christianity is easy to fake. Jesus measured faithfulness by our humble acts of service, authentic love of neighbor.

Shout out to Justin for being open-minded and cool AF

Shout out to the Vietnamese speaking Buddhist nun who answered my late night call on behalf of a grieving family. The peace and comfort you provided were invaluable 🙏

God has many names. Allah is one of them.

Some hyper Reformed Christians have been bullying me for being an interfaith chaplain. Coincidentally the only time I’ve witnessed overt religious abuse in the hospital involved a Reformed patient who was convinced—despite his faith in God—he was a reprobate destined for hell.

He ain't lying. I hate most religious folks, but I'll be damned if this guy doesn't exceed my every expectation. It's almost like being a good person is contagious.

👋 I’m a Protestant Christian minister and interfaith chaplain working for a Catholic hospital w/ relatively large Jewish and Buddhist patient populations. Also some of my closest friends are atheist and agnostic. I’m a living testament to the blessings of religious pluralism 😉

Friendly reminder that AI art wastes energy and water. Using it to dunk on our joke of a president doesn’t make it any more ethical.

Oh, so you're saying the real Jesus *isn't* an eighty-year-old convicted felon, pedophile and rapist?

All this time Republicans could have just repealed Obamacare and replaced it with Trump’s magical Doctor Jesus hands.

This has been a week of good things happening to good people and bad guys getting what they deserve. Almost like the world is microdosing justice.

Jesus Christ is The Prince of Peace.

Christians aren’t called to wage wars or win elections. We’re called to emulate Jesus with authentic love of neighbor, small acts of peace and justice that plant seeds of reconciliation and renewal.

From pastors to politicians—Republican or Democrat—any person credibly accused of sexual assault is unfit for leadership. This really shouldn’t be controversial.

I don’t believe the pope speaks for God by default, but I do think God is speaking through this pope as he denounces war and greed. And the fact that so many conservative Christians are rejecting his message just tells you how far they’ve fallen away from Jesus.

As a hospital chaplain I see a lot of patients with altered mental status. Honestly—in my non-doctor opinion—he doesn’t have dementia, he’s just a really bad person.

Christian nationalism does not hesitate to lie, threaten, and coerce to manipulate its desired outcomes. It is diametrically opposed to the way of Jesus.

Lmao Omg

Come on you guys, the Trump administration threatening the Vatican is just art of the deal 3D Christianity.

In the book of Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar becomes so pridefully obsessed with his own power that he goes insane and effectively devolves into a beast. Just sharing this for no particular reason wink cough nudge.

I don’t need the president to be a man of faith, I just wish less Christians pretended he is what a man of faith looks like.

The only real evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the transformed lives of his followers. We can preach and sing “He Lives,” but unless and until we show the world self-denying love and new creation faith we are merely a crazy cult with unsubstantiated truth claims.

There is nothing holy about war. Leave God out of it.

Our Protestant Good Friday service is starting soon. Catholics welcome!

Dear Justin, Thank you for pointing out the difference between a poser and a real Christian.

Dear Paula White, Jesus was guilty of no crime but faced the ultimate punishment. Trump is guilty of all sorts of crimes yet perpetually evades consequences. These two are not the same. In reality, they are the opposite.

Met a Nigerian man working two full time jobs in the U.S. so he can fund the building of a church back home. I disagreed with much of his theology, but his passion was infectious and he spoke of EMPATHY and COMPASSION for others because these things are fruits of the Spirit.

Lmao
