Whether we like it or not, we're constantly being discipled by something. If your news network of choice is making it easier for you to identify your enemies and harder to love them - it's time to turn it off.

Jesus says, “I was a foreigner (often translated “stranger” in Bibles - but it’s the same Greek word!) and you did not invite me in.” It may be time to reflect on whether our immigration policies have been shaped by Christ or shaped by fear. Substack: open.substack.com/pub/josiahmarr…

To the privileged, divisiveness is the greatest sin. To the oppressed, divisiveness is a reality.

When we think political power is necessary to advance the Gospel, our Gospel has been hijacked. When we think the Gospel fits neatly into an American political party, our Gospel is too small. When we think the Gospel has nothing to say about politics, our Gospel is hollow.

Unanswered prayer doesn’t mean God isn’t listening. Unanswered prayer is an invitation to, yet again, draw near to your Father who loves you.

Jesus, forgive us for trying to find seats at tables you would have flipped. Forgive us for flipping tables when we should have been inviting our enemies to sit at them with us. Forgive us for not knowing the difference, Lord.

I used to think the Romans killed Jesus because they mistakenly saw him as a political threat. Now I think the Romans killed Jesus because they RIGHTFULLY saw him as a political threat. It wasn’t the threat they expected, but when Jesus is King, it means Caesar is not.

Why is it always the same people who say they want the US to be a “Christian nation” who also say it should be the church’s job to take care of the poor, not the government’s? 🤷‍♂️

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad because great is your reward in heaven. - Jesus
