Lord, your will be done. We ask for strength and compassion as we resist and stand with " The least of these". We need your protection and seek your wisdom and clarity. Help us reach out with compassion, conviction and connection. Amen. Jim, thank you for blessing us with your book, "The False White Gospel" I heard you speak in Mpls last summer and Mt 25:31-46 lives in my heart.
"living and active, sharper than a scalpal:...praying that God's word, spoken in season by seasoned politicians will cut through the cancer of retribution, greed, deceit and profound lack of empathy that plagues "all the President's men" (and I do mean mostly men)
My prayers for and deepest gratitude to everyone who demonstrated here. I have been stunned by the support for and silence of the faith community in regards to Donald Trump. Do they care about a life only up until a child's birth? And only in America? This budget will certainly not make America great again, unless one has a very demoralized definition of great.
Thank you for your witness. As an outsider looking on, I wonder why your DC actions are not joined with the actions of other faith leaders on Moral Mondays? It looks like a divisive thing—is there a difference in values or in strategy?
Jim, why not redirect the focus on not just the outcome of the misinterpreted teaching of Jesus by the ministers that espouse Christian Nationalism. Look at the source of this calamity openly and seek to help heal the consequences by encouraging the drive for missionary work to be redirected to such churches that have been mesmerized by the character of Donald Trump, who while he is the President, underneath the wool is the anti-Christ, alive and well in America.
So good to read of this gathering and powerful proclamation of Matt 25. We in Australia are with you in spirit and prayer.

This scripture from Matthew is often quoted when social conscious is being battered. However, the last verse is usually skipped.
Matthew 25:46 NLT
"And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life."
Thank you for speaking the word of God to those in power. I have added my prayers to yours from a distance.
