Geeky and over-caffeinated pastor, husband, and father who radically loves Jesus, listens to loud music, and occasionall enjoys making things on my anvil.

If I had a nickel for everytime I was called a "woke pastor" for literally quoting scripture. Caring for the poor, dignity for immigrants, crossing racial divisions - all of these are supremely BIBLICAL. To claim anything else is to deny the very word of God. IDK 'bout you, but I'd rather be "woke"

So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
—John 13:14
Choosing to serve others helps me love them.
When I serve the very ones I would prefer to quietly despise, serving causes me to know them, and knowing them changes…most everything.

Regardless of where she lands in the larger scope of orthodoxy, I want to make clear that Bishop Budde's apeal during the service WAS absolutley biblical. Regardless of what she has said elsewhere, an appeal to mercy is not the same as a justification of sin, regardless of the crime.

Christian leaders, teachers, and shepherds, the responsibility lies with us. Regardless of political persuasion, what Gospel are we teaching when mercy is viewed as offensive?
If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Practice kindness and tolerance wherever you go with whoever you meet. Each of us alone can't make an impact, but each of us together can. Start where you are.
