  • From Jesus, Justice & Joash, The Beatitudes and Empire

    The empires of this earth go out of their way to oppress those who don’t fit in. They oppress those on the margins.&10;&10;But the kingdom of God that is already but not yet fully here, the kingdom of God that Jesus will fully establish on earth upon his return, the kingdom of God stands opposed to the empires of this earth – by bringing comfort to those who are oppressed." &10;

  • “It’s especially important to remember that people love hating their enemies — they love that more than anything. So the worst thing you could do to them, as far as they’re concerned, is to diminish their hatreds. To those of us who don’t happen to share those hatreds, their behavior might look like wearying, pointless repetition. But from the inside, those hatreds are the primary instrument of myth confirmation. They give security, and people want security. I can’t blame them for that, but I sure wish they chose different means to that end. I have no influence in the matter, though.”

    And for my reflection, because I fail at these so often:

    “Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

    “Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

  • As the future is to fear, the ones gather&10;into the many who must be killed&10;unendingly, at endless expenditure&10;of death for life, of money for death,&10;of weapons for money. And the economy&10;grows unendingly, a faith to borrow&10;unendingly against, as the future is to fear&10;-Wendell Berry
