TEACHING WOMEN TO GRACEFULLY DEFEND THE CHRISTIAN FAITH AND BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW.
React with Love
Regardless of where you stand when it comes to the results of the US Presidential election, it’s undeniable that we are a country divided, plagued with the ugliness and tension that comes from division.
Some are elated, some are disheartened. Many are in shocked disbelief (good or bad), while others find themselves in enraged denial. But this pep talk is not about politics, not even a little bit. It’s about leaning in and loving on people.
Not just people who agree with us, but also those who don’t. It’s about listening with an ear to understand and having empathy even when we don’t have agreement. Because we can choose to live with division. We can choose to live separated by politics, race, economics and creed. Or we can look beyond what makes us different and embrace what makes us the same… our humanity. At the most basic level we share our humanity with every man, woman and child on the planet. But we easily forget our common bond.
My encouragement to you today, as we stare down a new week, is to remember that regardless of where we stand and regardless of what we hold dear we have a choice. We have a choice and an opportunity to treat one another with love and kindness. We have the choice to not let disagreement lead to fractured division. We have a choice to not let differing opinions lead to condemnation. We have a choice for our reaction in every situation to be one rooted in love.
React with love this week. Respond with love. Even when it’s not easy. Even when it’s not your instinctive reaction. You won’t regret it.

Apologists and apologetics are often heard as big words that inspire images of older men in tweed jackets, sitting by fireplaces, smoking pipes. Are you picturing C.S. Lewis yet? But the truth is that everyone is an apologist and has an apologetic for something. That includes you, whether you realize it or not. An apologist […]

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits."
Matthew 7:15-20 ESV
