The name of this blog, Swinging from the Vine, was inspired by John 15 (specifically verse 5) “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
It seems pretty clear to me that God calls those with power to take intentional steps to be responsible with that power - often, relinquishing it to accomplish justice.
Why is it so shocking to so many straight, white, Christian men that they are the people of power in America and Godly equity demands that they take intentional steps toward justice - which will most definitely call them step aside to lift up the other.
