Dear fellow Christians –
If you believe it is your job to bring about an Apocalypse and that “true patriots” are white supremacists – I believe you are sorely misguided. I also believe you must be reading a different New Testament than the one I’m reading. Here’s what I see in mine –
“Love your enemies. Bless them that curse you. Do good to them who despitefully use you and persecute you. Turn the other cheek. Feed the hungry. Help the oppressed. Pay your taxes – render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and unto God what belongs to God – God doesn’t need your money. In the same vein – it’s harder for a rich man to get into heaven than it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle – you can’t serve both God AND mammon. If you dwell in love, you dwell in God. If you don’t love, you don’t know God because God IS love. Blessed are the peacemakers. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Forgive. And forgive again. And keep forgiving. Heal.”
Thank you, Karen for all your wonderful blogs. All your posts regarding our political situations today are absolutely perfect! Yesterday’s poem “Even Now There’s Good” made me feel more positive because I pray that things will change.
Thank you so much, Carol, for taking the time to read my posts and taking the time to connect with me here. It means a lot to me. We’re all in this together. ❤
