I was speaking to one of my teenage daughters the other day who was telling me about a conflict she was having with her step mom. It comes to naturally to resist, to defend, decry and protest.
It’s times like that I have to set aside my “mama bear” instincts and put my kids well being first. I suggested my daughter respond to the conflict with kindness and generosity (I would help her with the latter).
I think it is a little funny we were having that conversation so close to #PalmSunday . People thought Jesus was going to strong arm His kingdom come - but that isn’t how God works. Those who live by the sword, die by the sword.
🧵 Hey Nashville, for those of you preparing your hearts to shout “Hosanna” today and don’t feel much like dancing around the church waving your little palm branch. 1/5
“Hosanna, God Save Us,” is a political rally cry. It’s coming from oppressed Jews desperately wanting to kick their Roman tyrants out of Israel. As the people shout, Jesus never appears too interested in their celebrations but he never chastises or abandons them. 2/5
They think Jesus is headed to the temple to grab power but Jesus is headed to the cross to die to the powers. He’s headed to do something about our suffering, to empathize with humanity and bring us to oneness with the creator. 3/5
Could you not stay awake one hour? Could you not stay woke? You were woke when it was cool but silent when the term was bastardized & became the newest way to say the N-word. When defund the police was too woke, a lot of folk went back to sleep. Could you not stay woke? #Sermon

[THREAD] Ever wonder why we wave Palms in church on Palm Sunday? Here’s some historical and theological perspective: 
The Palms we wave and the “Hosannas” we shout speak to our real human desire for liberation but also our human propensity to control the means of salvation.
150 yrs prior to Jesus, Judas Maccabeeus led the Jewish people to victory over the Seluecid dynasty. After leading them to victory, the crowds celebrated by waving palm branches.
Gospel: The Passion narratives on #PalmSunday remind us that Jesus understands us not only because he is divine and knows all things, but because he is human and experienced all things, including physical pain. Know that you can turn to Jesus with any and all of your problems...

As you can see, it appears as if the Cross is on Calvary, with the two thieves flanking Jesus....

Your purpose is what you've found that is worth living for and worth dying for.

Your purpose is what you've found that is worth living for and worth dying for.
Dying on the cross was not Jesus' purpose but a gateway to fulfilling His purpose.
There are some life experiences we need to go through in fulfilling purpose and you can't pray yourself out of it.

The life we live is a journey and there are many stops. Some stops are good in themselves but are not relevant to our journey.
In life's journey, there will be a period of anonymity, period of training, period of labour, period of adversity and period of reigning.

Blessed Palm Sunday.
Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

They replied, “The Lord needs it.”
They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road.

I've preached on #PalmSunday 10-12 times over the years. Every time I preach a version of same sermon: we must confront the anti-Semitism and anti-Judaism in our world, the Gospels, our Holy Week liturgies, and call out the anti-Judaism in our own world. 1/
We must call out overt elements: the Jewish people were not responsible for the death of Jesus. Crucifixion is a Roman punishment imposed by Roman authority. Even 60 years after Nostra Aetate, this has to be said again and again 2/
But we also need to name more pernicious anti-Judaisms. Like this one: OT God is a "vengeful God" and NT God "a god of love and forgiveness." This is eisegetical nonsense, (also: Marcionism) and reinforces supersessionism, that somehow Christianity replaces and fixes Judaism 3/

Naturally, many a time, man looks at outward appearances to draw conclusions, whereas our Lord, looks inwardly, beneath the surface. (John 7:24).
Not everything in life is of equal unit, Most times, we focus on things that are not very important.

Don't live with the intention of proving anything to anyone, You are not here for popularity sake, but you are here on a mission(To please the one who sent you).

Your popularity does not really matter, what matters is what heaven says about you.

@tracesoffaith 1) After I started to Listen to @amygrant 's music, in 1985. And, I began to listen to #ChristianRadio , regularly. BUT, then, 17 years later; a teaching colleague of mine invited me to "Give This #BibleStudy a try." The teacher was a lady I had Only known from listening to @KSBJ

Well, as I Listened to the First Session, I was beginning to #FallInLove w/ the "Biblical #Jesus "; but, I didn't
Last night, Pelosi sent a letter to the Dem Caucus saying they must “double down on the down-payment we made in the CARES Act by passing a CARES 2 package..CARES 2 must go further in assisting small businesses including farmers, extending and strengthening unemployment benefits
2-"& giving families additional direct payments..provide the desperately needed resources for our state & local govt's, hospitals, community health centers, health systems & health workers, first responders & other providers on the frontlines of this crisis.”
3-Pelosi said she's looking for House action on this Phase 4 bill 'later this month'. Word is she's drafting it now, & that since she's 'backed off infrastructure' the GOP are amenable to moving fwd with Phase 4. #70days #PalmSunday #SundayThoughts
Christians around the world are celebrating #PalmSunday today. The Scripture records that as Jesus made His entry into Jerusalem, crowds welcomed Him, waving branches of palm trees. That was a royal welcome—yet just a few days later, they would cry out for Him to be crucified.
The last book of the Bible—Revelation—tells us there will be another time when people wave palm branches to honor & praise Him. That occasion will precede not His crucifixion, but His worship by saints & angels.
The Book of Revelation says, “…a great multitude that no one could number...from all tribes & peoples & languages, standing before the throne...w/palm branches in their hands, & crying out w/a loud voice, ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne...’” (Rev. 7:9-10)
For the theological record, the “blood of Jesus” is not a magical talisman. Jesus bled because he was a victim, fully human, of political violence. His own blood did not stop his own suffering & death.
Christian theology insists that thru his death, Jesus gathered all suffering to himself - in a cosmic act of redemptive love. To stop all pain, not to spread it. The blood represents all of that suffering - violence, injustice, death.
That doesn’t mean it is magic. It means that Jesus - who is also fully God - knows human suffering - even pain has been gathered into the heart of the Divine.
It's another beautiful #swotsunday morning, we wish everyone a wonderful #PalmSunday & #GameofThrones weekend.

#SundayThoughts #SundayMorning #BrexitDay #BrexitDelay #brexitdirectaction #Brexitcast
The word #Brexit is simply an acronym for Britain exit. The United Kingdom consist of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. The UK became a member of the European Union (EU) in 1973, but wanted to backout after only two years of its membership.
However, the majority of those that participated in the referendum voted for the UK to remain as a member of the union.
The recent agitation for Brexit led to another voting process taking place across the UK.

Jesus was guiltless but was crucified between two thieves. One criticized him while the other spoke for him. Even in an unlikely place someone spoke out for Jesus.
