May our fasting this season be the kind that pleases God: not one of mere self-denial, but one of self-giving. Not one of empty words, but of bold action. May we be reflectors of God's way, bringing healing to a world in need of justice, mercy, and love. #lent2025 @christianchurchdoc.bsky.social

It is a call to embody the gospel, to stand with the marginalized, and to resist any system—religious or political—that denies the image of God in another.

in a thunderous manner. When justice is corrupted, the vulnerable are cast aside, and the safety nets are defunded, we are called to repair the breach (Isaiah 58:12). The Lenten journey is not merely a private reflection but a public reorientation toward God’s justice.

I refuse to let my children grow up in a MAGA occupied America.
Freedom is leaving the doctor not worried how it will be covered, it's life without active shooter drills, it's freedom of and FROM religion, it's life without snitching on one's neighbors, it's free speech without retaliation

Freedom is the generational work of cooperation (government) & stable institutions. Freedom is not ONLY personal liberties/limited government. It's creative and communal. MAGA seeks to dismantle that cooperation- that freedom. The US can only be free by de-occupying our culture of MAGA.

He made free use of the Christian vocabulary, talked about the blessing of the Almighty. . . he showed his tattered bible . . .and declared that he drew the strength for his great work from the Word of God." Helmut Thielicke

When a president waves the Bible for the camera look for the cloven hoof.
