Martin Luther, 16th-century reformer, on Psalm 1:2's meditating day and night: "Thou shalt not kill" isn't merely prohibition, it's the positive duty of kindness and gentleness toward neighbour. Today this gets rebranded as "biblical manhood," where duty runs only to one's household, and Christian counseling rehearses grievances against entire classes of people so we can watch their demise more comfortably. A bold reworking of "meditate on the law of the Lord."

David Chytraeus, the Lutheran theologian, reads 1 John with unnerving clarity: to refuse love is already a kind of death. Christ’s self-giving redefines what life looks like, and when we seal our hearts against need, we quietly deny that love lives in us at all. Love, then, must become concrete—truth taking flesh in action.
How can you show love?

"Why I wrote EcoActivist Testament," a >2 minute video. In this video you will see this octogenarian (me) worshiping with nature at our old farmhouse in the western mountains of Maine.
If you are a faith-driven #ecoactivist, I wrote this for you. If you are sometimes on the verge of despair, wondering "why bother!?" I wrote this for you.
