Dear Humans,
Behold, a church in Dallas hath done something glorious.
This is divine art. This is good trouble.
GOD BLESS THIS CHURCH!
1. Faith By Works
Republican Governor Greg Abbott recently ordered cities in Texas to remove all rainbow crosswalks as part of his “war on woke.”
Oak Lawn United Methodist Church in Dallas didn’t argue.
Instead, they simply picked up their paintbrushes and turned their church’s exterior into a rainbow Pride flag.
What’s Abbot gonna do about it? Declare war on churches? Ban all the colors of the rainbow? Tax paint? He can go to hell.
“Silence in the face of harm always sides with the oppressor.”
— Rev. Rachel Griffin-Allison“Painting our steps in the colors of the rainbow is a visible witness to the gospel we preach, that every person is created in the image of God and worthy of safety, dignity, and belonging.”
— Rev. Rachel Griffin-Allison
Reverend Griffin-Allison is right. Faith in Christ isn’t about discrimination.
It’s about helping the stranger.
It’s about loving your neighbor.
It’s about standing with a people who’ve been pushed down forever and saying, “You belong.”
Bless them for doing this, seriously.
2. Smite Time
And now, here’s some recent clapback SMITES I find spiritually nourishing.
3. Your Daily Reviews Of God Are In:
When new paid subscribers sign up, they leave the kindest messages explaining why they supported me.
The following fresh review came in yesterday. These always make My day. Thank you for reading, laughing, and being the best part of this community.
“I enjoy your Letters God! Who could be better than the Almighty with your wisdom and wit in times such as these! “ - Kathy
Together we’re proving that truth and laughter still matter. So if you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it.
Until midnight tonight, an annual subscription to Letters from God is 20% off. Join us, stand tall, and refuse to let them silence us.
Now go forth and cause some righteous trouble.
Love,
God












Imagine being so filled with hate that you don’t like rainbows. Those steps look so inviting! Not just to the LGBTQ community, but to everyone. Isn’t that a good thing for a church? Hell, I’m an atheist and I’d like to run up and down those steps.
Reminds me of the song we sang on retreats:
Jesus Loves the little children,
They are precious in his sight
Red, and yellow, black and white
Jesus Loves the little children.
It's sad that they are demonizing "Woke". Will be greatful to see the end of their torturing of peacemakers. ✌🏼
