We must strive to hold ourselves accountable to practice forgiveness and reconciliation. Our mutual love for one another is how the world will see who Jesus is.
Guys...this is just crazy.
I live in Chicago with my wife and 3 little kiddos. Two boys. The first is named Leo. The second is August after St. Augustine.
The new Pope. From Chicago. An Augustinian. Chooses the name Leo.
God is fun.
35 years ago tonight, a food chemist from Illinois named Clark Wilhelm Griswold put down a $7,500 deposit for installation of an in-ground swimming pool while assuming his upcoming Christmas bonus would cover the rest.
@David_Fairchild #6…sheesh.
If ever I believe that accomplishing Jesus’ mission requires the use of the devil’s armory—I am wrong. Every. Single. Time.

If your political affiliation is causing you to dislike and dehumanize those in another political party, this is not the way of Christ. It is actually anti-Christ.
To fellow pastors who are leading politically diverse churches:
•Some people will be upset no matter what you say or choose not to say.
•Manage your own emotional functioning.
•Lean on friends for support.
•Listen for Jesus’s voice.
•Model curiosity.
You’re not alone.
