Party National Conventions: Getting a bunch of people together, run your opponents into the ground, and build up pride in your own men and women.
The more I watch the Republican convention, the more I realize how antithetical American politics is to a Christian worldview.
I’d expect backbiting, pride-pushing antics from those who know not the Kingdom of God — within which the last is first and the first is last and opponents are blessed — but how messed up is American Christianity when we see even professed Christians on a national stage blatantly shirking so many of the Christ’s teachings…
…and how easily have I allowed myself to slip into the same mindset throughout this presidential campaign season.

Nice perspective. I confess I too find myself in debates with cutting comments and harsh tones. Still, I believe the future of our country as we know it is at stake in the next election.

It is easy to take pot shots at the other side, until we remember Jesus died for the sins of the other side and….ours. We can disagree without being dishonoring.
