God is Calling…

Go up to Gilead and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt; In vain you will use many medicines; You shall not be cured. The nations have heard of your shame, And your cry has filled the land; For the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty; They both have fallen together.
Jeremiah 46:11-12 NKJV

Pandemics.
Protests.
God is calling…

Workers are worried, concerned about dying
Big money don’t care, the stock market is climbing

Liberty stands there with tears in her eyes
Acknowledging Justice has never been blind

This land that once welcomed has shuttered her door
Tariffs leave farmers desperate for more

Big Brother is watching us up from the Cloud
Systemic injustice, dead man on the ground

Stuck at crossroads, a wasted way station
In need of a Healer, our weak wounded nation

 

“…one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

 

God is calling us to Him.

God is calling us to Pray.

God is calling us to love one another.

    Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21 NKJV

What Say You?

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
George Santayana

“People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them.”
James Baldwin

“It [Democracy] is a great word, whose history, I suppose, remains unwritten, because that history has yet to be enacted”
Anthony Whitman

“History, despite its wrenching pain,
Cannot be unlived, but if faced
With courage, need not be lived again.”
Maya Angelou

“The use of language is all we have to pit against death and silence.”
Joyce Carol Oates

 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’  This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

 If you consider yourself a Christian and rationalize racism and hatred, please do us all a favor and stop calling yourself a Christian.  If we truly are one nation under God, it is time for the silent majority to speak up…
