A quotation from The Bible

Wine is very life to humans
   if taken in moderation.
What is life to one who is without wine?
   It has been created to make people happy.
Wine drunk at the proper time and in moderation
   is rejoicing of heart and gladness of soul.
   
[ἔφισον ζωῆς οἶνος ἀνθρώποις,
   ἐὰν πίνῃς αὐτὸν ἐν μέτρῳ αὐτοῦ.
τίς ζωὴ ἐλασσουμένῳ οἴνῳ;
   καὶ αὐτὸς ἔκτισται εἰς εὐφροσύνην ἀνθρώποις.
ἀγαλλίαμα καρδίας καὶ εὐφροσύνη ψυχῆς
   οἶνος πινόμενος ἐν καιρῷ αὐτάρκης·]

A quotation from The Bible

A hasty quarrel sparks a fire,
   and hasty conflict sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will flame up,
   and if you spit on it, it will go out;
   nonetheless, both come out
   of your mouth.
 
[ἔρις κατασπευδομένη ἐκκαίει πῦρ,
καὶ μάχη κατασπεύδουσα ἐκχέει αἷμα.
ἐὰν φυσήσῃς εἰς σπινθῆρα, ἐκκαήσεται,
καὶ ἐὰν πτύσῃς ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν, σβεσθήσεται·
καὶ ἀμφότερα ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου ἐκπορεύεται.]

Isaiah, Chapter 3

This chapter shows a stark prophetic judgment against Jerusalem & Judah. It’s centered on the total collapse of civic order, leadership, & social stability as a consequence of national rebellion. God announces the removal of ALL societal pillars (including essential food supplies, wise elders, skilled judges, & military defenders), leaving the nation to be governed by the immature & incompetent. The chapter ends with a direct rebuke of the haughty “daughters of Zion,” whose arrogant displays of extreme wealth & luxury will be replaced by public humiliation, captivity, & desolation, leaving the once proud capital stripped of its glory & sitting ruined on the ground. Let’s get into it!

See now, the Lord, the Lord Almighty, is about to take from Jerusalem & Judah bout supply & support: all supplies of food & all supplies of water, the hero & warrior, the judge & prophet, the soothsayer & elder, the captain of 50 & man of rank, the counselor, skilled craftsmen & clever enchanter.

I’ll make boys their officials; mere kids will govern them. People will oppress each other. Man against man, neighbor against neighbor. The young will rise up against the old, the base against the honorable.

A man will seize one of his brothers at his dad’s home, & say, “You’ve a cloak, you be our leader. Take charge of this heap of ruins!” But that day, he’ll cry out, “I’ve no remedy. I’ve no food or clothing in my house. Don’t make me the leader of the people.”

Jerusalem staggers; Judah is falling. Their words & deeds are against the Lord, defying his glorious presence. The look on their faces testifies against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to them! They’ve brought disaster upon themselves.

Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they’ll enjoy the fruit of their deeds. Woe to the wicked! They’ll be paid back for what their hands have done. Youths oppress my people, women rule over them. O my people, your guides lead you astray. They turn you from the path.

The Lord takes his place in court. He rises to judge the people. The Lord enters into judgment against the elders & leaders of his people. “It’s you who have ruined my vineyard. The plunder from the poor is in your houses. What do you mean by crushing my people & grinding the faces of the poor?” declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.

The Lord says, “The women of Zion are haughty, walking along with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes, tripping along with mincing steps, with ornaments jingling on their ankles. Therefore, the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion. The Lord will make their scalps bald.”

In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles & headbands & crescent necklaces, the earrings & bracelets & veils, the headdresses & ankle chains & sashes, the perfume bottles & charms, the signet rings & nose rings, the fine robes & the capes & cloaks, the purses & mirrors, & the linen garments & tiaras & shawls.

Instead of fragrance, there will be a stench. Instead of a sash, a rope. Instead of well-dressed hair, baldness. Instead of beauty, branding. Your men will fall by the sword, your warriors in battle. The gates of Zion will lament & mourn; destitute, she’ll sit on the ground.

A quotation from The Bible

When a sieve is shaken, the refuse appears;
   so does a person’s waste when he speaks.
The kiln tests the potter’s vessels,
   and the test of a person is in his conversation.
Its fruit discloses the cultivation of a tree;
   so does speech the thoughts of the human mind.
Do not praise anyone before he speaks,
   for this is the way people are tested.
   
[Ἐν σείσματι κοσκίνου διαμένει κοπρία,
   οὕτως σκύβαλα ἀνθρώπου ἐν λογισμῷ αὐτοῦ.
σκεύη κεραμέως δοκιμάζει κάμινος,
   καὶ πειρασμὸς ἀνθρώπου ἐν διαλογισμῷ αὐτοῦ.
γεώργιον ξύλου ἐκφαίνει ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ,
   οὕτως λόγος ἐνθυμήματος καρδίας ἀνθρώπου.
πρὸ λογισμοῦ μὴ ἐπαινέσῃς ἄνδρα·
   οὗτος γὰρ πειρασμὸς ἀνθρώπων]

Calling Out the Church Is an Act of Witness

“Why are you calling the church out and making them look so bad?” someone asked me after I preached about the church’s lack of justice. “The people you’re preaching to probably don’t even need to hear that message. You were likely just preaching to the choir and calling out rare extremists.”

I always feel a bit gaslighted when people tell me this. I wish I had screenshotted all of the insane posts I saw from Christians I knew during the pandemic. The “rare” extremists are apparently many of my friends. I grew up with them. I played at their houses. They taught me who Jesus was. And now that they had been socially and politically provoked, I was observing in them an unimaginable behavior I didn’t know they were capable of.

To some extent, I need to speak out on these issues for evangelistic reasons, as the world needs to see a pastor address such behavior. Unbelievers think that the “rare” extremist is what Christianity looks like because they have seen the same posts I have. I also need to speak out to save myself. If I allow this kind of stuff to go on without saying anything, then I become complacent—and I can’t handle that. People need to know that Christians aren’t all like that. They need to know that Jesus looks different than what’s being presented to them.

To represent God wrongly is what it means to take the Lord’s name in vain, and it was such a big deal to God that he made it one of the Ten Commandments. In the Old Testament, the Israelites bore the name of Yahweh just by being Israelites. Wherever they went and whatever they did, they were to be a specific representation of the name Yahweh. They were to have the character of Yahweh, do justice like Yahweh, farm like Yahweh, party like Yahweh, and take care of the oppressed like Yahweh. They failed over and over and over again until Yahweh eventually divorced his abusive wife, Israel. They had not done a good job of portraying Yahweh to the world, and they had taken his name in vain through their misrepresentation. Christians do the same thing.

So why do I speak about justice to a world that doesn’t always want to hear about it?

I speak because someone has to bear witness to it.

A quotation from The Bible

Talk not much with a fool, and go not to him that hath no understanding: beware of him, lest thou have trouble, and thou shalt never be defiled with his fooleries: depart from him, and thou shalt find rest, and never be disquieted with madness.
 
[μετὰ ἄφρονος μὴ πληθύνῃς λόγον
καὶ πρὸς ἀσύνετον μὴ πορεύου·
φύλαξαι ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα μὴ κόπον ἔχῃς
καὶ οὐ μὴ μολυνθῇς ἐν τῷ ἐντιναγμῷ αὐτοῦ·
ἔκκλινον ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ εὑρήσεις ἀνάπαυσιν
καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀκηδιάσῃς ἐν τῇ ἀπονοίᾳ αὐτοῦ.]

A quotation from The Bible

Don’t abandon old friends,
      because newer ones are not their equals.
   New friends are like new wine;
      when wine ages,
      you will drink it with good cheer.
   
[Μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς φίλον ἀρχαῖον,

A quotation from The Bible

Some people are thought to be wise because they don’t talk much; others are disliked because they talk too much. Some people keep quiet because they don’t have anything to say; others keep quiet because they know the right time to speak. A wise person will not speak until the right moment, but a bragging fool doesn’t know when that time is.
 
[ἔστιν σιωπῶν εὑρισκόμενος σοφός,
καὶ ἔστιν μισητὸς ἀπὸ πολλῆς λαλιᾶς.
ἔστιν σιωπῶν, οὐ γὰρ ἔχει ἀπόκρισιν,
καὶ ἔστιν σιωπῶν εἰδὼς καιρόν.
ἄνθρωπος σοφὸς σιγήσει ἕως καιροῦ,
ὁ δὲ λαπιστὴς καὶ ἄφρων ὑπερβήσεται καιρόν.]

A quotation from The Bible

BELOVED: My love is fresh and ruddy,
      to be known among ten thousand.
   His head is golden, purest gold,
      his locks are palm fronds
      and black as the raven.
   His eyes are like doves
      beside the water-courses,
      bathing themselves in milk,
      perching on a fountain-rim.
   His cheeks are beds of spices,
      banks sweetly scented.
   His lips are lilies,
      distilling pure myrrh.
   His hands are golden, rounded,
      set with jewels of Tarshish.
   His belly a block of ivory
      covered with sapphires.
   His legs are alabaster columns
      set in sockets of pure gold.
   His appearance is that of Lebanon,
      unrivaled as the cedars.
   His conversation is sweetness itself,
      he is altogether lovable.

How fair and pleasant you are,
   O loved one, delectable maiden!
You are stately as a palm tree,
   and your breasts are like its clusters.
I said, “I will climb the palm tree
   and lay hold of its branches.”
O may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
   and the scent of your breath like apples,
and your kisses like the best wine
   that goes down smoothly,
   gliding over lips and teeth.

Conservative #protestants believe that liberal Protestants believe that anything goes theologically and sin is okay. Liberal Protestants believe that conservatives are too much in bed with the #GOP and have forgotten #Jesus ' command to love one another in a sea of #oldtestament legalism. I just want to find a #church that studies the #bible, does acts of #charity in the community, and won't kill me for believing in #evolution or that #lgbt people deserve love not hate. Is this possible?

Perhaps the reason why it took 4,000 years from Adam's fall to the birth of #Jesus #Christ is because it took that long for a person who was sinless enough to survive carrying to term and giving birth to #God . Maybe the whole #OldTestament is the story of God's long breeding experiment to create #Mary just so #Jesus could be born.

I mean, #adultery is just as punishable by death according to the #OldTestament as #homosexuality is but you don't see #Christian #pastors today inciting #hate #mobs about #divorced people infiltrating our schools and promoting the #secondmarriage agenda to your children. I mean, the #Catholics still care if you've divorced and remarried but we've largely lost this #culturewar. Why can't we stop the hate rhetoric and talk about #God 's #love instead?

A quotation from The Bible

Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
   as a seal upon thine arm:
   for love is strong as death;
   jealousy is cruel as the grave:
   the coals thereof are coals of fire,
   which hath a most vehement flame.
Many waters cannot quench love,
   neither can the floods drown it:
   if a man would give all the substance of his house for love,
   it would utterly be contemned.

A quotation from The Bible

Ah, you are fair, my darling,
Ah, you are fair,
With your dove-like eyes!
And you, my beloved, are handsome,
Beautiful indeed!
Our couch is in a bower;
Cedars are the beams of our house,
Cypresses the rafters.

הִנְּךָ֨ יָפֶ֤ה דוֹדִי֙ אַ֣ף נָעִ֔ים אַף־עַרְשֵׂ֖נוּ רַעֲנָנָֽה׃
קֹר֤וֹת בָּתֵּ֙ינוּ֙ אֲרָזִ֔ים (רחיטנו) [רַהִיטֵ֖נוּ] בְּרוֹתִֽים׃
