Your friendly neighborhood pastor here to remind you that the rapture is not, in fact, a Biblical doctrine.
It’s more or less a 19th century Anglo-American invention
Justifying war through a blatantly false reading and heretical misuse of the text of Revelation isn’t a great look, my siblings in Christ.
Another Gulf war, huh?
i hate that the early 90s and 00s are back in style
Once again, the actions of Scouting are shameful and in violation of the Oath and Law.
Once again, my Eagle has become a badge of shame.
Thanks, fascists.
These robot bastards can pry the em dash from my cold, dead hands
Fairly certain i’ve spent more time thinking about HVAC systems in the 15 months i’ve served as a pastor here than in the 7 1/2 years i was an intern architect.
The fundamental choice has not been as stark since World War II: democracy and freedom, or dictatorship and tyranny.
Trump and his sycophants are siding with the latter. The rest of us must loudly, proudly, and boldly proclaim our allegiance to the former.
May God, and one day the world, forgive us our sins.
My continuing ed week:
Epiphany.
May your year be bright.
You know, assuming we get to have one.
Just saw Wake Up Dead Man.
Loved it.
Also, that song gets me every time.
Saw a tiger poop yesterday.
Pretty apt conclusion for 2025.
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Four pounds of back bacon
Three French Toasts
Two turtlenecks.
And a beer. In a tree.
i feel so behind this Advent, what with 3 services barreling down at me between now and Xmas.
i haven’t even watched Christmas Vacation yet.
i have no words as evil has yet again struck from Brown to Bondi.
Lord, in your mercy

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.
Have any of you ever made a liturgical banner in worship before?
If so, what materials did you use? How did it go? Anything you would do differently in retrospect?
Asking for a future me
i just read the comments.
i genuinely feel sorry for a lot of people.
a happy and blessed trans awareness week everyone!
and to those who don’t think being trans should be a thing, bless your hearts and may God have mercy upon you.
This administration hates actual Christianity

Well, I’m sure the democrats will learn a valuable lesson today and build from this momentum and carry that forward in their strategy.

The world's 10 richest people (nearly all from the U.S.) are collectively $500 billion richer this year thanks to growth in stocks tied to AI.
Meanwhile, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and electricity.
AI is making the rich even richer while everyone else pays the price.
I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.
I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.
and knowing that my siblings in faith from all over the city are doing just the same.
This is what evangelism is supposed to look like. Doing good, showing love, and being helpers for no other reason than because we are should be.
We are commanded to be.
And, so often, we really aren’t. 3/3
