Soon the first of the #BasicJesusSkills series will be published. The first skill we will talk about? Loving your enemies. In the meantime, here's a Rewind Wednesday post from last year. It's more about the Kingdom than elections, but thought it might be interesting among the polarized responses to the President's speech last night. Here's a quote from the linked article:
We can’t expect everyone to understand or agree with what we believe. We should expect opposition and adversity. But let us be castigated and mocked for our love - not for our gloating, pride, and arrogance.
And let us not become partners with Herod or Caesar as if they will rescue us from evil.
Let us be mocked for being too patient. Too kind. Lacking any and all envy. Unwilling to brag or be arrogant. Never rude or self-serving. Keeping no checklist of being wronged. Not easily angered or resentful. Not glad about injustice to anyone but rejoicing only in truth.
Bearing all things. Believing all things. Hoping all things.

✌🏼Jesus and Election Day
Today is Election Day here in Texas. But this post isn’t about an earthly election. There are plenty of debates out there about that kind of election.
