The Call (Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29)
Love extended to one who requires mercy creates the opportunity to see light in the other, and to feel it in your own. And that energy brings the healing wholeness of both body and soul.
Call to Worship, by Darrell Black
Confess Yahweh, because he is good,
because his commitment is permanent.
Yisrael is pleased to say,
“His commitment is permanent”…
Open the faithful gateways to me;
when I come through them, I shall confess Yahweh.
This is Yahweh’s gateway;
faithful people come through it.
I will confess you because you…

Isaiah 28: Six Slinky Chapters
The following six chapters, Isaiah 28-33, are like a Slinky, or an eagle in the updraft. In a series of sermons, Isaiah gives a woe, then a promise and call to faith, then he wheels back to the woe, and again to a promise and call to faith. #Isaiah28
Lessons of a Slinky
Did you ever play with a Slinky? When I was a child, Slinkies were coils of wire (they are now made of plastic) that look like a large spring. When I placed one end on a step and the other end on the next step down, the Slinky goes down the rest of the steps on its own―somehow the tension in the coils makes it move. Or have you ever watched an eagle, or an osprey wheel in an…

Kind of insane how much y'all hate queer, disabled, mentally ill adults. Especially Black and brown ones.
All this "adults who like X are creepy/ gross/disgusting" is just an excuse to hurt the most systemically vulnerable people and shame them into compliance. Shaming doesn't work on comfortable white people with stable jobs and social lives and the money to buy luxury items– they can just log off and go to a fondue party. So you just go for the people with the least socio-economic protection who depend on online communities and congratulate yourselves on your "activism" and social conscience. Even when your collateral includes people from the same minorities you're "defending".
Western leftism operates on conditional humanity and respectability politics. "We'll give a fuck about you...as long as you behave only in ways we find palatable." When we point out that punitive forms of social control always take us out first and in larger numbers, we're given to understand in no uncertain terms that we are in fact acceptable collateral in your personal social justice hero quests to "punch Nazis", "fuck the US government" and "eat the rich". All just a bunch of hyperindividualistic neoliberals resentful of being robbed of white privilege rooting around the social justice closet for cudgels that suit you.
#''no ethical consumption under capitalism EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE PERSONAL MASS-PRODUCED AXE I NEED TO GRIND''#if I see that Chick-fil-A post one more time#also shut up about Harry Potter for Christ's sake#you're not going to shame people out of loving the third most read book in existence that's the cornerstone of a billion childhoods#in countries where only 10% of the population have internet access#MAYBE there's something fundamentally wrong with that approach#meanwhile if we ever tell you to stop memeing for five secs about a serious political issue impacting us#y'all scream and cry and throw up#y'all are nothing but a bunch of performative ghouls out to hurt people#ableism#ageism#western leftists#white queers#anti radfem#anti-communist#capitalism#neoliberalism#identity politics#global south#disability#mental illness#racism#anti blackness#classism#queerphobia#punitive justice#social justice#knee of huss

By the LORD has this been done; it is wonderful in our eyes.
This is the day the LORD has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it.
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD;

#DailyDevotion Jesus Is The Rejected Chief Cornerstone
#DailyDevotion Jesus Is The Rejected Chief Cornerstone
Psalm 118 21(Inside:) I thank You, for You have answered me and have become my Deliverer.
Having passed through the Gate of Righteousness in the Tabernacle/Temple area, David gives thanks because his prayers have been heard and He has become his Deliverer. I do find it interesting that this Psalm gets intensely Messianic at this point. The following verses are quoted often in the New Testament, by Jesus, by His apostles and some parts are shouted out by the people to Jesus.
22The Stone the builders rejected has become the Cornerstone. 23The LORD has done this, and we think it is wonderful.
When Jesus tells the parable of the wicked tenants in Matthew 21 and Mark 12 Jesus brings this passage out as an interpretive key. Jesus is the Stone the builders rejected. The builders here being the rulers of Israel. They rejected Him outright before Pilate when they said, “We have no king but Caesar.” Stone in Hebrew here is Eben (from whence we get Ebenezer). Jacob anointed a stone at Bethel and said this pillar will be God's house. It is where the LORD affirmed His covenant with Abraham to Jacob. The LORD wrote His commandments on stone.
He Himself is the Stone, the Rock, Israel's leaders, the builders rejected. Peter testifies as such in Acts 4 when on trial and again in 1 Peter 2. In 1 Peter 2 Jesus is the living stone upon which God's Temple is built. This refers back to Genesis when Jacob anoints the stone and says it will be God's house. We are the living stones set to Jesus, the chief cornerstone in God's Temple. The LORD, God the Father, has done this and we do indeed think it is wonderful.
24The LORD made this day; let us rejoice and be glad in Him. 25O LORD, please save. Lord, please give us success. 26Blessed is He Who comes in the LORD's name. We bless You in the LORD's temple. 27The LORD is God, and He gives us light. March in festive procession with branches up to the horns of the altar.
Here we see the fulfillment of this passage as Jesus enters Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. The crowds, the children were shouting, “Hosanna, Hosanna, blessed is He who comes in the LORD's name.” The LORD certainly made this day in which He came in our human flesh to establish His kingdom on earth. The foundation was not laid down by might but by humility. Jesus humbled Himself to suffer and die to answer the prayers of those singing praise on that day. He hosannaed them by His death on the cross and His victory over death and the grave. Jesus is the LORD who is God. He is our Light and our Life. Jesus came in the LORD's name to save us and for that He deserves every blessing and thanksgiving.
28You are my God, and I thank You; My God, I honor You highly. 29Thank the LORD because He is good and merciful forever!
Jesus is our God and we indeed should thank Him and honor Him highly. We do this first by believing who He is and what He has done for us. We do it by confessing who He is and what He has done for us. We honor, thank and praise Him by living lives worthy of Him. The Pslam closes as it begins, “Thank the LORD because He is good and merciful forever!” Indeed, thank the LORD Jesus Christ for He is God and is merciful forever.
Heavenly Father, we do give You thanks and praise for sending Jesus to be the Stone the builders rejected, that through this rejection He would become for us the chief cornerstone of our salvation and we would through faith in Him become living stones of Your holy Temple. Preserve us in this faith unto life everlasting. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

ISAIAH 28:1-29
”What sorrow awaits the proud city of Samaria— the glorious crown of the drunks of Israel. It sits at the head of a fertile valley, but its glorious beauty will fade like a flower. It is the pride of a people brought down by wine. For the Lord will send a mighty army against it. Like a mighty hailstorm and a torrential rain, they will burst upon it like a surging flood and smash it to the ground.…

Living Stones (1 Peter 2:4-10)
Peter, who was named “Rock” by the Lord himself, wanted his audience to know that they, too, are known by God as rocks, as precious living stones.
As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says:

jesus said “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.” and i think this means that virginity is a dumb concept because a penis going into you cannot change you or defile you. now childbirth on the other hand,
#the last sentence is a joke! but the first part is not#virginity is fake#and the church is fucking stupid for being so obsessed with it#no scratch that#the church is a malicious power-hungry demon out to force people to submit to it#and it capitalized on misogyny for two thousand years to do it#by making everyone even women afraid of women's sexuality#making sexuality the cornerstone of christian faith made us forget about Jesus christ#the ACTUAL LITERAL *Cornerstone* of christian faith#who by the way was famously asexual#not in terms of sexuality but literally just. the Man did not fuck. did not want to. was not here for that.#and he cared way more about fucking up capitalists and helping the oppressed than he did whether or not you had sex#wait hold on ur telling me the church is corrupt?#yes. but from a feminist socialist catholic perspective NOT a protestant perspective#i'd like to be very clear about that#catholic shit#thanks for your time

Family--A Cornerstone
Family…the nucleus of the world.
How can we love people across the
globe when we can not get along
with our family? Let us look at
our values in the relationships
closest to us. Do we practice
compassion, patience, affection
with our family members? Do we
forgive and also ask for forgiveness?
Is integrity–I say, I do, a cornerstone
of our system of values? Unconditional
