No, That’s Not the Interpretation
Scripture informs how I spend my money, where we live, how we are raising our daughter, my vocation, how I love my husband and how my family interacts with our neighbors. Scripture is the driving force for how I vote and how I engage with our government.
Because of the centrality of scripture in my life, when someone twists the bible to defend unjust laws, I cannot keep silent.
Thankful for an Invitation
I’m glad President Trump made derogatory comments about Haiti, El Salvador and African countries. His comments are a line in the sand that forces Christians to take a stand. God is clear about is command to love all people. When he made man and woman, he said that he “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” All people – from all countries – are made in God’s image. When we chose to denigrate God’s people, we are choosing to denigrate God.
