@scottsauls It’s definitely a challenge beyond human strength. The most challenging part of 1 Cor 13:5 is the “keep no record of wrongs.” I am grateful to receive this love but sure is difficult to give.
Christian patriotism does not have to devolve into Christian nationalism. It’s time to take the word “patriot” back from the right-wing conspiracist and fanatical Trumpist, and July 4th is a good time to start. My Sunday essay: https://t.co/w2OdsDovGq
