The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

On 2 Chronicles 7:14…

“My people who are called by My name” = Israel and the Church
“humble themselves” = take blame, not cast it
“pray and seek My face” = acknowledge God alone as Savior, redeemer, purifier, reward
“turn from their wicked ways” = do justice and righteousness
‭‭

WATCH: Pope Leo says he has 'no fear' of the Trump administration U.S.-born Pope Leo XIV pushed back Monday on President Donald Trump’s broadside against him over the U.S.-Israel war in Iran, telling reporters that the Vatican’s appeals for peace and reconciliation ...

This is what righteousness looks like

“I'm not afraid of the Trump administration or of speaking out loudly about the message of the Gospel, which is what the church works for."

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today.
One for the history books

Well put. As democracy, the people of our nation share complicity.
Heartbreaking.
May justice roll down.

This is what it looks like to take God's name in vain. And on Easter weekend at that. 😡

I'm afraid I may have met recently...

God the Son endured the darkness for us.

I am grateful for this word in a world that feels very, very dark right now.

He knew the full weight of human awfulness, stupidity, twisted evil, and frailty because he bore the consequence for it.

Take heart.

May the Lord gift you with a sense of his presence and restore and refresh you.
You are a gift to so many of us. 🙏

#MorningPrayer
Keep us, Lord Jesus,
from the temptation
to sell the gift of your peace
for the price of the
approval and adulation
of those who pursue the goals
of power and prestige,
of personal gain and greed.
Set our hearts on
the prize of your kingdom,
the light of your love.

Do you own all these books, or have you access to an incredible library?
I have no budget for these, sadly, but wish they were more readily available.

The irony is not lost on us.

#MorningPrayer
Give us faith, Lord Jesus;
faith not in our own power,
nor in the material strength
we can wield,
not in the platforms
or personalities of others,
but faith in your promises,
faith in your kingdom,
faith in the hope you share,
and the peace you bring,
in your love.

“I think that if God forgives us we must forgive ourselves. Otherwise, it is almost like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him”

Interesting, and I see his point. Thank you!

Jim Acosta testified before Congress today warning that a pending merger could hand CNN to Trump-aligned billionaires. He’s never stopped speaking truth to power, even when it cost him. We’re grateful someone is still saying it out loud.

So far the war on Iran has cost $25 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Jeff Bezos is worth $220 billion.

After building that fortune from overworking and exploiting his own workers, Bezos is now developing a fund to acquire manufacturing companies and automate them.

Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?

Why the aversion? Theological, or political grounds?

But yes, he's criminally stupid.

Are you sure this is a real post? I'm not.
I loathe AI.

Amazing mashup of Steve Goodman and Tolkien... Thank you!

Appalling.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

DJT is unfit on every level.
Our country (though far from perfect) deserves better.
