"Christians only have one savior, and his ministry was characterized by love, forgiveness, and mercy—traits that are in short supply as Trump continues to brutalize Iran," writes @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social

People were surprised by Trump's post of himself as Jesus, but they shouldn't have been. He has a long history of presenting himself as a messiah. Check out my latest for @sojo.net :

A quick look at all the *OTHER* times President Trump has likened himself to Jesus, by @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social via @sojo.net : sojo.net/articles/opi...
“We must see through the lie that war could ever be moral, that it could ever bring liberation or prosperity. The results of war are clearly seen in the ruins of a girls school in Iran.”

Most important exhibit in the museum better be how Mayor Thompson was a collaborator with a concentration camp, sent her police to brutalize clergy/protesters (me & others) to make sure the torture center could do its evil unimpeded, & lied about us being out-of-towners & violent. Truly disgusting!
YASSSSSSSSS!!!!!

My latest on the Iran War for @sojo.net: "If we are serious about caring for the welfare of the Iranian people, then our first task is to stop killing them...Scripture reminds us that war is not a tool of redemption but a moral failure that needs redemption and repentance."
"Is the state right or is God right?"
Nice piece on the Sanctuary Movement in @rns.org that I contributed to. “I don’t think what I’m doing is illegal,” Woolf says. “What I’m doing is moral, and that’s more important than what the state has to say. And sometimes you just have to pick: Is the state right or is God right?"

A Theology of protest: Orthodoxy cares for any person regardless of their origin. As long as we preach Jesus, this we will practice. Refugees and migrants are Christ today. We teach this Christ … We will be held accountable, if we do not receive Him. — Bishop Ignatios of Dimitriados and Almyros
My latest for @rns.org on protest:
"Protest is not just about responding to the world’s pain, but also about the personal pain of dehumanization, whether it is witnessed or experienced directly. If we are to meet these two types of pain, religious leaders cannot only improvise acts of resistance."
This really hits:
"A robust theology of protest knows that what the state can do to you is not as scary as what silence will reduce you to."

Also related...and I wrote "dehumanizing" in my previous post before I saw this commentary by @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social
Our theology today must be lived, not just talked about.
It's an exciting day for @annapiela.bsky.social and I because someone wrote an organic review of our book in @baptistnews.com calling our book a "needed resource" - check it out!

Humbled to be chosen by Harvard Divinity School, my alma mater, to be awarded the Gomes Honor this year.
@baptistnews.com hitting it out of the park today! Deeply grateful for this interview with @annapiela.bsky.social and I about our new book.
“Islamophobia is one expression of the ongoing attacks on our pluralistic democracy, and we’re really at an inflection point..."

Ever thought that God might be arbitrary? Here's my in depth article about it.
“It is unfair to expect perfection from our leaders. But when our leaders govern from avarice, militarization, and dehumanization, they make it impossible to trust that they are operating in our best interests.”

This week, in the shadow of the Iran War, @annapiela.bsky.social and I gathered 30 Christian leaders from Chicagoland for our Christians Challenging Islamophobia Conference. This work is so important right now, and Christians have to find their voice evanstonroundtable.com/2026/03/03/c...

Kristi Noem's press office issued a statement telling me to "get a grip and seek help" back in December. Now that she's out of a job, it's my turn to give some advice. Get ready - you will be held accountable by the American people and by God. Repentance will be received well by God at least.
