I appreciate your courageous expression o...Melissa,<br />I appreciate your courageous expression of the word of God. Nowadays, it seems that there is a strong push by a conservative Christian political movement to do what seems to be in our best interest on many things, connecting these views with Christianity. However, the words of Christ were revolutionary and did not appear to always be in the best interest of the followers. Of course we know that they are in our best interest in the long run, but it is easy to doubt that in the short run. I think it takes courage for you to strongly advocate for these things when there are many Christians so vehemently opposed to them. However, your interpretations of these Scriptures are difficult to deny. As many of Christ's teachings, they do not answer all of the specific questions that we may have but they certainly give principles for us to prayerfully consider as we make difficult decisions. Thank you for challenging us to look to Christ rather than our human logic for what is the right way to go. May God bless you as you continue to advocate for His will, no matter what the consequences.David Wheelernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480547809031696136.post-23403637561547215312015-11-27T13:22:03.410-06:002015-11-27T13:22:03.410-06:00Thanks, Talena.

If only more people would see the mission field around them every day, but especially at this moment in history.<br /><br />Wonderfully well said, Melissa.talenawintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15244501196825514501noreply@blogger.com
