The Choices We Make, Make Our Lives
Thinking About ...
Is America Truly A Christian Nation?
Constitutionally, the answer is “NO.”
Americans are not ruled by religious law. Christianity, however, is the religious choice for seven out of 10 Americans.
Overwhelmingly, our local and state leaders claim to be Christians.
Nationally, most of our U.S. senators and representatives present themselves as Christians.
Sadly, we don’t “see Jesus” among many of them.
Love: Compassion In Action
We must wonder: Why all the hate? Where has love and compassion gone?
Those who practice hate through bullying, belittling, insulting; those who teach hate, revel in hate, must also answer to God.
Those who applaud, stand beside the bullies and the abusers will also answer to God.
For we are not born to hate. We are taught to hate.
Thoughts About Love
In our lifetimes we come to know self-love, family love, friendship love, romantic love, husband-wife love, love for the children born of that love.
Hopefully, we come to know God’s love. Hopefully, we come to know neighborly love.
Hopefully, we come to know that love just grows and grows and grows. There is more than enough for all.
Hopefully, we choose to live by The Golden Rule that we respect others as we wish to be respected; we treat others as we wish to be treated. Jesus used the words: “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.”” — Matthew 7:12
Our Beautiful World
Northern Lights
Love is patient, love is kind {and} is not jealous; love does not brag {and} is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong {suffered,} does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-7 / NASB
