Why Intentionally Hurt People?

As people of faith, we strive to live according to Jesus' teachings. As such, none of us is perfect, and we make mistakes. However, here in America, some people are purposely making a daily mistake. What is that mistake, you ask?


Weaponizing their Christian faith to hurt the vulnerable.


Here's a partial list of policies that the  current administration in the White House has used to hurt the vulnerable:


* Cuts to USAID and SNAP, taking food from the mouths of people in need, both domestic and abroad.

* Taking migrants, both documented and undocumented, off the streets, detaining and deporting them without due process by ICE and CBP.


There are numerous other examples, but the point is this - one cannot do these things to people AND call themselves followers of Jesus.


Jesus never said to starve people and deport your neighbors in His name.

"Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions." Proverbs 18:5

Leviticus 19:33-34

"When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."

"Forgiveness"

We all sin; none of us is perfect.


The Bible shares many stories of individuals who fall short of God's Word, learn from their mistakes, and find forgiveness. One of the most instructive tales is that of David.


2 Samuel 11 recounts the story of David, Bathsheba, and Uriah. David committed three offenses: sin, transgression, and inequity. He sinned by committing adultery. The transgression occurred when he got Uriah drunk in an attempt to cover up the resulting pregnancy. Lastly, he moved into inequity by deliberately arranging for Uriah’s death on the battlefield, fully trying to conceal his first sin.


How does this story conclude? David confessed his sin, then ASKED God for forgiveness (Psalm 51). Although David suffered consequences for his actions, God forgave him. 


Once we ask for forgiveness, we will often find that a weight has been lifted from our shoulders. It is important to note that if the other person does not forgive us, that should not concern us.


We must remember that if we have wronged someone, we should not try to explain away or justify our actions. Instead, we should seek forgiveness from the aggrieved party to initiate the healing process. Just as God forgave David, He will extend the same grace to us!

 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

"Still, I Rise" by Maya Angelou

Read Maya Angelou's acclaimed poem here; https://poets.org/poem/still-i-rise?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzqbLmdnm9gIVRhvUAR1t3ghtEAAYASAAEgJWqfD_BwE: 

New York City and Quality of Life issues

ICE detained a seven-year-old immigrant and her family in NYC. What does Mayor Adams have to say?

The actions of ICE have long been out of hand. Detain and separate a family, including a seven-year-old? Why?! What crime or quality of life issue does this solve? Emma Lazarus's poem, "The New Colossus," is nothing more than a joke at this point. We ARE NOT supposed to treat people like this! Detaining and deporting people without due process is not what followers of Jesus would do! Read the article; the link is on the right.

Pastor Mark has a question for us:

What is the new thing God seeks to do with AND through you in 2025?

"Take off your religious blindfold; It keeps you from seeing the light of the Gospel!" - Rev. Mark L. Chapman.
