Christians united or divided: 2020 Election
Well well well. The 2020 Presidential Election was as sick as the Coronavirus. I mean red states, blue states, and county by county showdowns. These last 4+ years have ripped our country apart. People have drawn battle lines between family, friends, and coworkers. But in the church? YES EVEN IN THE CHURCH!!! Its been said the most segregated hour is on Sunday morning. I've never dealt with an evangelical and I can't imagine that they'd welcome a Pentecostal in their midst. My friends are mainly Democratic with a sprinkle of republicans but we don't argue. Points are made and shared, but never judged. We know each other personally and respect each others individuality. But social media is a beast. People have made hate groups, fake news, and robot trolls all to sway folks away from facts. Literally, the network news has to fact check everything due the prevalence of misinformation. Sermons have become politically charged and members are weaponized. The current administration has yet to concede, and followers are being fleeced to fund this failed effort. The world is watching the destruction of the United States of America. Are we ready to rebuild? Who will reach across the divide? Can we just be purple? All the election coverage showed close races as purple until a clear winner was projected. But can we get along? Will we get back to "nnormal"? Do me a favor...check on your Christian friends. They put on a brave face even when they're crumbling inside. Let's release the hostility and embrace the vulnerability. Be that safe place for folks to return to the real world. Let's move forward. Let's live our best life. The purple life. Please share your comments below. Thanks for stopping by. Take Care and God Bless!!!
