Yes! We need to talk.

Over the last few months Black people, asylum seeking people, young people, queer people and trans people and women people—all of these people made in God’s image have endured and absorbed unending assaults against their ability to flourish in Florida. It has felt like a steady stream of punches coming from deranged bullies. It has been stunning—terrorizing—haunting.

Then, today Social Studies text book publishers revealed that they are taking out all mentions of race from their textbooks—even from the story of Rosa Parks. 😵

This is not a culture war. This is a war against the image of God on earth.

We MUST talk about Florida’s war on God—now.

Holy God, Please be with President Carter in his 1

Holy God, Please be with President Carter in his 11th hour. Be with him close. Be with his family. Be with his friends and colleagues.

In this hour, while President Carter is still with us, we thank him for his service to our nation and to the ones Jesus called “the least of these” throughout the world.

And Thank you, sir, for your Bible studies. The Word of God in your Baptist heart led you to protect the separation of church and state, to champion the dignity and empowerment of women, and to empower the impoverished.

Your faithfulness to the peaceable kin-dom of God led you to show us glimpses of possible peace in the Middle East through the Camp David Accords. And to condemn the modern-day colonization of the Palestinian people.

It has been a joy and an honor to work with your team @thecartercenter. They carry your work forward, sir. They carry it well.

Thank you for your witness, dear brother. Thank you.

Well done.

((Deep bow))

Florida governor #desantis banning AP African American Studies from Florida’s public schools

College Board dropping several seminal Black authors from their curriculum

Several criminal and civil court cases coming to a head against the former president of the US and his aids. Presenting proof of conspiracy to defraud Americans by stealing the 2020 election

And in the context of several recent studies and polls revealing white evangelicals are more loyal to their whiteness than to Jesus.

In this context, Asbury University is experiencing what some have characterized “a revival.”

So, what’s going on?

Let’s talk about how we can discern if it’s revival or … something else.
