Jim, I am going to share this in The Fellowship of Confessing Christians Substack newsletter. You always speak prophetic words at the most crucial of times. I first heard you speak back in the 80s in the basement of a Detroit church. Not many years ago I heard you speak at the Jubilee Community in Asheville. I now live in Louisville. If you're ever coming here, I want to be present. And, if so, I would cherish conducting an interview with you. Peace be with you, my brother in Christ.
The Bitter Southerner website has some excellent t-shirts and flags with sayings like, “Have Mercy” and “Abide No Hatred” that I believe are perfect for Christians who care about social justice. Maybe better than wearing anything with “that man’s” name on it!
This, sadly, is typical of the myth believing that has inculcated humanity through the desire of the powerful to control the masses.
It is nonsense.
There is no evidence whatsoever for any of the 18000 or so gods that humanity has constructed during its history. Even if any or all of them did exist, let alone the monotheist 'God' referred to so often and taken for granted by the gullible and ignorant, the majority and particularly that 'one God' would be some of the worst models for a sound, equitable, just and moral society where peace exists for all.
The sort of nonsense expounded in this article is part of the conditioning that perpetuates division, hatred and conflict within humanity.
It is time that human beings matured and rejected such juvenile and puerile fantasies and their propagation, let alone the funding and wealth of those who lead and thrive from the hierarchies they have formed to harness the gullibility, of hurting, harmed, simple-minded or simply unintelligent who can neither think rationally nor reason for themselves.
Well said Jim. I have felt like part of or Lenten disciplines must also be fasting from Apathy. The more we wring our hands in despair, the more things we care about will be eroded.
Excellent scripture for these times we're in! It's time to organize churches and denominations to march for Matthew 25!!!

Yes; it is time to fast, pray, and return to Jesus.
This Lenten message reminds me again who Jesus served and what we as his followers are called to do as witnesses to his gospel.
"More than just policy differences or political arguments, our obedience to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is at stake here."
I couldn't agree more...
We need tee shirts with something like “A Christian against trumpism” or “A follower of Christ not following trump.”

Thank you. 🙏🏼
Totally in agreement; as I said in my last post, it is now becoming Lent in the time of Ahab.....
