Before travelling to East Timor, I went to a bank to exchange euros for US dollars. The clerk said to me:
‘Are you going to spend Christmas or New Year's Eve in Times Square?’
‘No,’ I replied, ‘there probably isn't room for the Baby Jesus to be born there.’ I'm going to spend Christmas a few metres from the Tíbar rubbish dump, on which many families still depend, with many boys and girls who need to be sent to school so that one day they can try to break out of the cycle of poverty.
She swallowed hard and wished me a good trip.

13-01-2022 CALL TO ACTION 🐓🦠 Wat hebben Oxfam, World Vision en Feed The Children met elkaar gemeen? Ze doneren dieren aan mensen in landen waar honger en/of armoede heerst. Goed bedoeld, maar het effect is tegenovergesteld 😮 Het houden van dieren zorgt voor het ontstaan & de verspreiding van ziekten. Wanneer je een dier doneert, doe je mogelijk zelfs een vogelgriepuitbraak, een slachthuis, een jeugdtrauma, een klimaatcrisis of een ziekte cadeau. Wij roepen daarom op tot #stopanimalgifting ❗️🚨 Hoe kan JIJ helpen? 💪 1️⃣ Ga naar StopAnimalGifting.org 2️⃣ Onderteken en stuur een brief aan deze organisaties 3️⃣ Onderteken de petitie brief 4️⃣ Deel deze campagne op social media! Waarom? 🤔 1. De dieren zijn een risico voor uitbraak van zoonoses zoals bijvoorbeeld de vogelgriep. 2. Volgens Greenpeace wordt 80% van de wereldwijde ontbossing veroorzaakt door het houden van dieren of het verbouwen van veevoer. 3. Door ontbossing komen mensen en gedomesticeerde dieren steeds vaker in contact met wilde dieren, wat een extra risico op pandemieën veroorzaakt! 4. Het doneren van dieren zorgt voor een extra last. Je moet immers zorgen voor extra voer en water in gebieden waar dat sowieso al schaars is. 5. Veeteelt vervuilt ons water, verzuurt de bodem en vervuilt de lucht die we inademen. 6. Elk dier draagt bij aan de methaanuitstoot die de wereldwijde temperatuurstijgingen versnelt. 7. Je kunt ziekten zoals diabetes en hartaandoeningen doneren. 8. Daarnaast is elk dier een levend wezen wat pijn en angst voelt. Het past daarom niet in een ethische, rechtvaardige wereld. De ‘Stop Animal Gifting’ campagne van @animalsavenederland heeft als doel om mensen en organisaties bewust te maken en te motiveren om te stoppen met het doneren van dieren, en in plaats daarvan plantaardige alternatieven te doneren. 🌎💙 P.s. Wat kan je wél doneren? ✅ een boom✅ een fruitboomgaard✅ zaden voor moestuinen✅ een gemeenschapstuin✅ waterirrigatie #stopanimalgifting #fightpoverty #stopclimatechange

10-01-2022 !!!CALL TO ACTION!!! OXFAM, WORLD VISION + FEED THE CHILDREN: STOP ANIMAL GIFTING + SAVE THE CLIMATE! 6 Reasons to Stop Animal Gifting: > You could be gifting diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. >You could be gifting a forest fire, bird flu outbreak or childhood trauma. > Every animal gift contributes to the methane emergency which is accelerating global temperature rises. > Animal agriculture contaminates our water, acidifies the soil and pollutes the air we breathe. > According to Greenpeace, 80% of global deforestation is caused by farming animals or growing crops to feed them. And very importantly we must not forget: an animal is an individual, a sentient being who didn't get a say in this. !!!How YOU can help to demand the charities to stop Animal Gifting and transition to plantbased gifts!!! • visit www.StopAnimalGifting.org • sign the (automatic) letter to the charities • sign the petition letter to them (link in the bio) Please also share our social media posts/tweets tagging the respective organizations to spread the message! The Stop Animal Gifting campaign aims to encourage people and organizations to stop gifting animals and instead gift compassionate, plant-based alternatives. We want to encourage development organizations and aid charities to implement plant-based projects to help alleviate poverty and tackle the climate, ocean and biodiversity crisis. Thanks so much for your support! #stopanimalgifting #fightpoverty #stopclimatechange #stoptheecologicalcrisis

urges states to act after Congress passes harmful cuts hurting families & social workers. Protect Medicaid, SNAP & vital programs. We’ll keep fighting for policies that meet basic needs & dignity for all.

Thomas Scott co-founded the Church Missionary Society. Britain exceled at adultery, luxury, and debauchery, and shed innocent blood around the world for greed.

He wrote a widely used bible commentary. Today, would we find it untoward for a preacher to bring up national sins (involving guns or $)?

How can you refrain from adultery, luxury, and debauchery, especially as drives demands that harm people in other countries?

"I fear we [Britain] have immensely out-done them [ancient Israel] in shedding innocent blood, in oppressing the poor, the fatherless, and the widow; and in every species of detestable injustice, prompted by insatiable avarice, and protected from human vengeance, (as it is greatly suspected) by shameless bribery and venality. In pride, adultery, luxury, and all debauchery, their guilt bears, I apprehend, no proportion to ours."

William Jay, English Congregationalist, writes on Jesus’ ascension. Jesus feels for us, and Jesus displays his gentleness through the relief of wants through His followers.

Some don’t preach a gentle Jesus. Others might see the harshness of Christians and view this as an indication of Christ’s character. Again, Jay says the gentle nature of Christ shown in gentleness of us.

How can you be more gentle to those in need?

"Though He is passed into the heavens. He is touched with the feeling of our infirmities. His gentleness is now displayed in four things. First - in relieving our wants. How harshly are many treated, when they apply to their fellow-creatures for succour !..."
