It grieves me to watch the body of Christ divide itself over issues that, while important, are not ultimate. I've also seen how politics has increasingly infiltrated and divided the Church and how the enemy uses opposing views to keep many Christians distracted and focused on the wrong issues. We need more people with the ability to have level-headed conversations regardless of their positions so that we can come to intelligent conclusions about how to navigate a world that, from every side, opposes the will of God. We indeed need to love our neighbors as an outworking of our love for God.
I'm almost done with Beth Moore's new memoir (HIGHLY recommend), and I'm listening to the audio version before I read the hardcover, which I also ordered. And you can hear both her love for Jesus and her love for people and the pain of rejection in her voice. But she is also writing out many of the very things I have felt myself.
I applaud your conviction to remain true to your core values. We are the sane ones who can see through the big lies. The power mongers try to deflect and spin issues with the sole purpose of remaining in power. It is all about power and money to those that lie to the public. There are many politicians who are honest and true to their oath of office, it is up to us to vote them into office, it is not hard for me to figure out who they are. They have the same core values as you and I.
You aren’t the crazy one ! You’re the one asking the hard questions in a time when it’s needed most. I honor you and see you living the questions and sitting with feelings you would rather avoid🙏🏼♥️
Your voice certainly does need to be heard because you speak with grace and truth. You have done your homework, listening to many voices (not least the Holy Spirit's). But you speak with the gentleness of love. Please keep speaking.

I just wish there were more of those people running for EVERY office, including city council.
You're not crazy, and I really appreciate your view as a Christian. It's the most empathetic, loving, open-minded stance to take.
It's how I'm trying to best live my faith.

It's always nice to know I'm not alone ❤️
You are not 🌻

Ah, thanks 😊

Thank you. I wish being human wasn't so hard sometimes.
It sounds like your voice is needed now more than ever
