Folks,
I ask you to take a hard, honest look at some of the comments here, and ask yourselves: “Is this in keeping with the pastoral remarks our president elect made at the convention?” Referring to those with whom we disagree as a “cancer”?
This is wrong, and this is not the kind of rhetoric that will help improve any (cw-insert 'my') situation, but only put up further walls and barriers for communication, and make it even easier for people to write you making these comments as right-wing nutso fanatics.
Consider if these kinds of comments honor Christ and His Gospel. Take it to the Lord Christ and ask him to guide your actions and your words. I must do that all the time, and much of that time is spent confessing where I have fallen far short of the mark.
In your anger, sin not.
And anger of man, does not accomplish the righteousness of God.
PTM
