Durrell Watkins“’Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you something to eat, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and cloth you?
When did we see you ill or in prison and come to visit you?’
And the Human One will answer, ‘Whatever you did for the so-called least, you did for me.’”
JOIN ME IN THE SPIRIT OF PRAYER: Let us dwell together in peace; and let us not be instruments of our own or of others’ oppression; and now, may god’s word be spoken, may only God’s word be heard. Amen.
Limiting freedoms in the name of freedom of religion, and diminishing and oppressing people in the name of God is as much, and sometimes more, the Christian story than is…
blessed are the merciful, love your neighbor, put away your sword, and give all you can to the poor.
That’s why we say every Sunday and have done for 17 years – Sunshine Cathedral is a different kind of church.
God is love, and love, loves. Show us love loving. That’s what we want. Not narrow interpretations of scripture, not reciting creeds, not scaring people with afterlife threats that are as cruel as they are inconsistent with divine Love.
No, just love. Learn to love out loud, to love consistently, to love boldly, Let love love. Don’t love theology, let love be your theology and then you can’t go wrong.
