“It cannot be denied that too often the weight of the Christian movement has been on the side of the strong and the powerful and against the weak and oppressed—this, despite the gospel.”

-- Howard Thurman, Jesus and the Disinherited, 1949

"But the word, what was it? Not for the proud, not for the mighty, the dominant, aggressive cornerers
of the groans and struggles of the sweating masses. There is no future for the proud, only a past. The gaze of the powerful must always focus on yesterday."

"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it."

Don't merely exist in the moment.

What makes you come alive today?

Lean into it. That's where your impact grows.

A Prayer by Howard Thurman, 1951

#HowardThurman

"As the sea gull lays in the wind current, / So I lay myself into the spirit of God."
December 3, 2025 at 4:07 AM
“War and the threat of war has covered us with heavy shadows,
Making the days big with forebodings—
The nights crowded with frenzied dreams and restless churnings.
We do not know how to do what we know to do.
We do not know how to be what we know to be.”

Howard Thurman, "Love or Perish"

#HowardThurman #love

"Our only responsibility is to love. Whether we are loved back, whether love becomes productive in ways that we can measure -- this is not our business. The nature of love, is to love!"

Howard Thurman, "Reconciliation", 1963

#HowardThurman #love

"There is nothing outside ourselves -- no circumstance, no condition, no vicissitude -- that can ultimately separate us from the love of God or of one another. And we pour out our gratitude to God that this is so!"

Happy birthday Howard Thurman !
Did you know that he wrote “Jesus and the Disinherited,” a book partly inspired by Gandhi’s approach and response to oppression via acts of radical nonviolence?

Reposting in honor of Howard Thurman's birthday (November 18, 1899). #HowardThurman
Yes, it’s my book, but now’s a good time to revisit #HowardThurman’s insights about social action to oppose discrimination & oppression, build compassion & community, & not be consumed, like MAGA/Trump, with hatred that ultimately destroys oneself & community: www.paulistpress.com/Products/569...

There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.
