Who warned you to escape from the angry judgment that is coming soon? Produce fruit that shows you have changed your hearts and lives. And don\\u2019t even think about saying to yourselves, Abraham is our father. I tell you that God is able to raise up Abraham\\u2019s children from these stones. The ax is already at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that doesn\\u2019t produce good fruit will be chopped down and tossed into the fire.\\u201d\\nThe crowds asked him, \\u201cWhat then should we do?\\u201d\\nHe answered, \\u201cWhoever has two shirts must share with the one who has none, and whoever has food must do the same.\\u201d\\nEven tax collectors came to be baptized. They said to him, \\u201cTeacher, what should we do?\\u201d\\nHe replied, \\u201cCollect no more than you are authorized to collect.\\u201d\\nSoldiers asked, \\u201cWhat about us? What should we do?\\u201d\\nHe answered, \\u201cDon\\u2019t cheat or harass anyone, and be satisfied with your pay.\\u201d\\nPhoto by\\xa0Tim Marshall\\xa0\\nThe post How to escape angry judgement \\u2013 Luke 3:7-14 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
