Sermon excerpt
I’m not personally fond of debating … but I AM all for knowing what you believe—in politics as well as in faith and theology. “For freedom Christ has set us free” so we are free, and even encouraged, to share our faith with others. So I’m (grudgingly) willing to debate when it’s necessary and helpful and useful because I think things like believing in something and knowing WHY you believe it is critical.
But can we please do it with just a little more kindness than I’ve been hearing? Can we please just say why we’re not planning to vote for a particular candidate without assassinating his or her character in the process? Or better yet, don’t even worry so much about the other candidate; just stick to talking about what you like about your candidate!
I can just feel people’s hearts becoming harder and harder as the rhetoric gets more negative and divisive. This world does not need more hardened hearts; it needs hearts which are tender and loving and joyful and peaceful and patient. And kind. Can we please have a little bit more kindness in the way we treat each other when we’re exchanging ideas and opinions, especially when things get a little heated, as they so often do?
