If you feel like you are on the wrong side of history...



If you are starting to feel as if you’re on the wrong side of history, it's ok; just get on the right side.  Join the resistance.

I know many good, smart people who voted for Trump because they wanted change, they didn’t like Hillary, they figured he’d change once he took office, or they always vote republican no matter what.

And I know some of these good, smart people must be looking at this week thinking, “Oh, wow, this isn’t really what I thought it was going to be.  Better keep my head down and my mouth shut.”

If you are feeling like you need to cocoon in, resist.  Keep your eyes up.  Stay alert.  Resist the tactics of lies (i.e. crowd sizes and illegal votes) to confuse you on reality.  Resist the tactics of fear mongering to turn you against others because of religion or ethnicity.  If your moral compass is getting confused, the tactics are working.  Resist.

Good, smart people: if you need a way out, simply say your vote was a misunderstanding.  It's true.  And it's fine.  It doesn’t matter.  This is going to be an all-hands on deck effort.  Joining the resistance isn’t a slam against the republican party.  Over time, you will see more and more republicans join the resistance with you.  In fact, the only way to get your party back is by joining the resistance.  Look at the character of the republicans who are and will be leading the way in resistance--it speaks volumes.

Friends, if you are embarrassed to tout the “successes” of the person you voted for… or if he is confusing you about what’s right or wrong… or if he is making you question reality… or worst of all, if your support of him is making you think and act contrary to your Christian faith… then it probably means you are on the wrong side of history.  There's time to get on the right side.  Join the resistance. 

 The Son of Man’s Arrival will be like that: Two men will be working in the field—one will be taken, one left behind; two women will be grinding at the mill—one will be taken, one left behind. So stay awake, alert. You have no idea what day your Master will show up. But you do know this: You know that if the homeowner had known what time of night the burglar would arrive, he would have been there with his dogs to prevent the break-in. Be vigilant just like that. You have no idea when the Son of Man is going to show up.  Matthew 24:39-44

Why I think Christian Nationalism is bad for Christianity. By Kelly Lamon

My daughter, a first-time voter, said to me, “Mom, it feels really important to me that Kamala Harris wins the election.”   I replied, “I feel the same way.”   Plenty of pundits and talking heads are outlining why: the policies on her website, women’s rights, empowerment of the middle class, her message about lifting people up.   But I want to talk about a different reason.   As I Christian pastor, I’m concerned about the future of Christianity in the US due to the uprising of Christian nationalism since Trumpism took root.   It’s no surprise that as a pastor, I believe that faith really matters.   I can cite scientific research about the healing power of spirituality, point you to stories of individual transformation, and highlight the positive impact of religion on society.   Heck, I've devoted my life to sharing this good news.  But  I am also astutely aware of the damage that faithful people can do: oppression, manipulation, coercio...

Tragedy and Grace

This is written with permission of the daughter of Sha-Von.   Last year, my church started a journey of more actively pursuing racial justice.   After so much struggle in the Twin Cities, we could not turn our eyes away any longer.   As a step in this journey, the staff and executive team was asked to make progress in our ability to adapt to diverse cultures, backgrounds, and experiences, and to understand more deeply the biases operating in us.   I remember meeting one-on-one with our consultant.   I found myself saying to him over and over, “I feel as if I know what I need to do in my head, but I don’t intentionally create space and time to interact with the diversity around me.   I’m scared.   I'm a  perfectionist.   And I can’t be perfect at this.   I’m worried that my interactions could create harm.   I don’t want to be that person.   So I just withdraw.”   That was last spring.   And I didn’t make an...

Was Jesus Polarizing?

Was Jesus a polarizing figure? My church will do a worship series on polarization during Lent.   Wish us luck!   People are already asking me, “Are you really going to ask me to interact with others whose views are so off course that they would become violent?”   That response is incredibly telling of the dynamics at play within our society—that people automatically go to the extreme without seeing the rest.   The goal of this series is to investigate whether the life of Jesus teaches us anything about polarization. I’ve been doing some scriptural research.   And I got to tell you: it’s been a tough day.   You know when you are reading a novel and you prescribe a personality, tone of voice, and temperament to a character?   It’s almost like you can hear their voice in your head as you are reading dialogue.   The author of the story, of course, plants all the seeds through their character development, but ultimately the reader’s own lens giv...
