I remember a pastor preaching a sermon that had nothing to do with Washington.
No politicians were mentioned.
No political party was attacked.
No election was discussed.
Instead, the pastor opened the Bible and said:
“Love your neighbor.”
Then he talked about the widow.
The orphan.
The prisoner.
The hungry.
The lonely.
The forgotten.
He reminded us that following Jesus wasn’t about winning arguments.
It was about becoming more like Christ.
People walked out of that church talking about what Jesus had said.
Not what a politician had tweeted.
Not what Congress had done.
Not what political battle was coming next.
Just Jesus.
I miss those sermons.
I miss a Christianity that didn’t need a political enemy to feel spiritually alive. ~OC
