“The political rulers of Rome were not satisfied with political titles; they wanted religious titles, even theological ones. They weren’t satisfied with being presidents; they wanted to be popes.”

C. S. Lewis: Oh no, my dear boy. That is not the center of Christian morality. You have merely subdued the animalistic part of you. Now you must face the devilish part. And be warned, your tempter would gladly trade the lizard of lust for the Great Sin of spiritual pride.

Ash Wednesday is not a day to manufacture guilt. It’s a day to recognize our brokenness, frailty, and trust in God’s love.
It’s a day to freely come before God and declare, “I am human, I am dust, and I am loved.”

I prefer John Adams from his Oration at Braintree in the Spring of 1772: “The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty. A government of laws, and not of men.”
That was American—not this.

I’m not trying to make some political statement w/ this post, so please don’t bring on the partisan vitriol. Please, Father, help me become a man with “gravity of soul — mass of presence.” And thank you for the quiet, humble, “heavy” men who have influenced me along the way.
Why have so many insecure and unserious men been elevated to lead us? How do more of us cultivate souls with real mass? @skyejethani shares his post-inauguration thoughts: holypost.com/post/the-land-o…

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.”
- Jesus
The world (system) will hate Christians. But it’s important to discern the reason.
Do they hate us because we follow the way of Jesus, or do they hate us because we live contrary to him?
