this past week president obama passed a health care bill that many thought was impossible...it was a huge triumph for his administration and for the democratic party...i was on twitter when the votes came in and watched some celebrate and others mourn...
for those that know me...you know that i was raised in a home that was the perfect portrait of all things pentecostal, conservative, and republican...while my views do lean more toward the conservative side...i truly do not like to go around spouting that i am a republican...or a pentecostal for that matter...i am first and foremost a follower of Jesus and i am also very much pro-life...so, these usually determine who i vote for...
in the days following the passing of the health care bill...i was surprised and quite honestly appalled at the behavior of not only those against the bill but also those who claim to be christians...shouting obscenities, calling people horrible names, putting together a “hit list” of states and senators that we should “attack”? seriously? is this where fear has led you? i don’t get it...and it’s not ok...
in this world, you WILL have trouble...you WILL disagree...you WILL get angry...there WILL be injustice...things WILL be unfair...but NONE of these give you a free pass to act like an idiot...you are still expected to walk in LOVE & respect...and you are expected to PRAY...
the bottom line is that people are scared...our country is NOT in a great place right now...but regardless of who the president is...what bills pass...and what rush says on his radio show...God is still God...He’s still in charge...and He asks that we not fear...that we trust Him and that we continue to love each other...there is no “love thy neighbor as long as they agree with you” scripture...
the bible is clear that as the time approaches for Jesus to return...things will get worse...be careful who you throw your faith and trust upon...and be sure that you are found bearing fruit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control...even when you DISAGREE...
when all around is sinking sand...You will stand...the great I AM...
