Judas gave into despair judas gave into despair judas gave into despair. Peter denied and repented. The prodigal came home. The prostitute fell at His feet. The publican was justified. At the 11th hour the thief confessed His kingship. Fall get up fall get up. It’s ok it’s ok. It can be ok.
My sister and Robbie were never able to have the time together they both so longed for, and deserved. And which, ever since, I've… Ever since I've always felt I prevented. So, in the book, I wanted to give Robbie and Cecilia what they lost out on in life. I'd like to think this isn't weakness or evasion, but a final act of kindness. I gave them their happiness.
Atonement (2007) dir. Joe Wright
By our faith in the redeemer of the world we are called, as Christians, to form the vanguard of the non-violent army of peace.
Bernhard Häring, quoted in Daniel Izuzquiza, Rooted in Jesus Christ: Toward a Radical Ecclesiology
cant pray my way out of it but i can pray my way through it thats how this works
Every time I have ever found God it has been from a group of outsiders.
Every picture of God that has ever looks like him has been made by people who never saw a Jesus that looked like themselves
I have never felt more at home than when listening to a gay person talk about God. I have never understood someone better than the lesbian Catholics who love to veil, or the transgender episcoples who see their transition as an opportunity to share in God's creation, or anyone who found God and then carved their own way to him.
When I sit in chapel, and the worship music feels like noise, I know there is a hymn being sung with a shaking voice that sounds just like Christ calling out for his father. When I see lessons written in script, I know there are sheets of construction paper printed in stock fonts on a family's kitchen table sent home from Sunday school teaching the same. When I get a hand out with Bible verses bought from Amazon, I know that someone has written the same verse in craft glue and collage and their blood.
I think God is present the most when the process of finding him is distinctly human; because I think he knows us, and makes the way he finds us human.
Sleepy Jesus commissions
Science and religion aren't enemies or "two sides of the same coin" they're girlfriends making out with tongue
Christian transphobia is so funny sometimes
Surely no one in the bible ever changes their name and identity to live a more fulfilling life
a flag 4 trans folks who are also Christian :]
