I don’t know who needs to hear this but my dude @WallingTaylor just said “empathy is not efficient” and also it’s me, I needed to hear that.

Christians can hold different views and still hold each other in high regard. @WallingTaylor @hillschurchtx this morning.

We’ve only ever seen NBA players boycott a game ONCE. It was an exhibition game in 1961 and Bill Russell with a handful of other Celtics sat out in protest of racial injustice.. the fact we are still doing this 50 years later for the SAME THING should be incredibly telling.

Hey folks,
My new book Beautiful Resistance comes out today. I hope it challenges and inspires you to a deeper and more compelling discipleship in these challenging times. amazon.com/Beautiful-Resista…

My homie @WallingTaylor can preach his booty off! He uses his platform and voice to biblically champion social justice and speaks against systematic/social inequalities, all for the sake of multi-ethnic equality. He can’t stop talking about this book! Time to pick it up!

Jesus is not the means to something.
Jesus is the great Someone.
He is not the means to some ends.
He is the end.
He is the treasure, the crown jewel of our faith. Him we preach!

In times of chaos, @DerwinLGray says Christians should remember that "peacemaking is not avoiding conflict ...Peacemaking looks like going to the cross. We enter into conflicts with hopes of reconciliation." relevantmagazine.com/life5/d…

Hey, white people:
Have your parents ever sat down with you and specifically talked to you, at length, about race? I'm not talking about cursory mentions or their cumulative comments, but had a serious, intentional discussion.
Also, retweet this.
I'm tryna see something.

You’ll go crazy if you spend all your time analyzing the depths of evil without gazing at the beauty of God.

I come back to this 2001 quote from South African bishop, Peter Storey, often.
My goodness.

My heart breaks to witness yet another senseless loss of life. As believers in Christ, we must band together across racial lines to ensure justice is righteously served and a new environment for safety, equity and healing can be established. #icantbreathe

These are unprecedented times for us.
But the church has endured plagues, wars, poverty, & oppression for generations.
We pray psalms written in caves.
We preach letters penned in prison.
We cling to truths revealed in the wilderness.
New circumstance, same God.
He's got us.

If you are so tired of hearing about racism, imagine how tired people must be of experiencing it.

Ahmaud Arbery.
Say his name. Know his face.
If his story surprises you, read up. Educate yourself. The 2020s are not as far from 1950s as you might think, and this understanding should unleash a fiery outrage in us all.
Lord, have mercy.

Almost half of the New Testament is comprised of letters written by a man who wasn't allowed to go anywhere. He was either in prison or under house arrest. We're fed by the fruit of that season in his life.
Taylor Walling retweeted
Can we doubt that the present barrenness of the church’s life is God’s judgment on us for the way in which we have dishonored the Holy Spirit? What hope have we of its removal till we learn in our thinking and our praying and our practice to honor the Holy Spirit?
