When I feel hopeless, I remember: this is what the wicked want; tricked into believing I am powerless. It doesn’t immediately change our conditions, but it infuriates me—renews commitment to fight. A different world isn’t just possible, it’s rising. And they’re scared as hell.

@austinchanning It really is. Exhausting. But we're still here.
Love is love is love is love. This message from the Gospel Coalition is not love, and it's not good news.
This is a real quote from The Gospel Coalition. My love for Alejandro is “strong emotions” and “affections.” Not love.
@TylerKrumland Grateful that Love Wins. So sorry that you (and we) were put through that and continue to unpack and heal. Blessings on you and your husband and your marriage.

When you quote'n the Bible to prove your point but ain't read the Bible...

Stare in the face what some of you are saying: MY RIGHTS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR LIFE. SORRY, NOT SORRY. If you’re not going to get vaccinated, for the love of God, PUT ON A MASK IN PUBLIC PLACES WITH VULNERABLE PEOPLE. Go ahead & unfollow me. I don’t care. FOLLOW JESUS.

For all our Jesus-talk, where on the ever loving earth is our Jesus-walk? If you are not a Christian, I’m not talking to you. But if you are, Jesus wasn’t playing when he called us to a whole different ethic from the world. We’re not loud mouth boasters. We’re servants. We SERVE.
Affirming Network of CBF retweeted
If we are in Christ, it is unconscionable for us to in any way politicize this virus. What on earth are we doing??? Our sides are not more important than lives. We are Jesus people called to serve sacrificially. For the love of God, we gotta love our neighbors. Even our enemies!

Absolutely unacceptable. Cruel, inhumane, evil. @POTUS and @VP and @GregAbbott_TX, this is a scourge on your watch. Shut it down and protect these children.
@naaho Thank you, we will! @DerekLHenson @revbburton
The Affirming Network Coordinating Council celebrates Pride Month by announcing the creation of the Rev. Dr. Frank Tupper Scholarship fund to honor the legacy and devotion of Dr. Tupper's advocacy for LGBTQ persons in the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. (1/2)
Celebrating with you!
It's been a busy couple of weeks. So much more to come. This is part two of a two day series: heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/202…
Powerful thread. Staying and advocating for change is painful, but so is leaving. It's not a simple decision. Either way, we support and stand with you.
"why don't you just leave your church if it's unaffirming??" I know this is said with the best intentions, and I've even said it before. but it's damn hard to leave a faith tradition, a community, and a greater church body that you've come to love. there's so much grief.(thread)
