The Christmas Season with all the fullness of family and friends is almost over. The last hurrah will come on New Years Day with yet another family food fest! My only hope for 2016 is a kinder, gentler American. One in which we lean on God's truth concerning the foreigners who live with us and those who are living in abject hell elsewhere in the world. A land that returns to her roots of welcoming with open arms all people to her soil as she did to our own families so many years ago. I want us to have empathy for other cultures and realize that it is up to God, not us, to judge. Paul tells us we are only to judge those who claim Christianity as their religion not those who do not.
Maybe it is that time...that time to silence the hatred, prejudice and profiling that is so rampant in so many Christians today.
God will not be mocked....make no mistake... when we try to play God it comes with His reprisal.
Read the Scriptures and then base your life on His word made flesh, Jesus Christ. And what did Jesus say would fulfill the Gospels? To love God above any person, place or thing and to love others with the same love we give to those closest to us.
Be blessed!
