It seems to me that a lot of people don’t realize that “conservative” and “liberal” don’t mean the same things when referring to theology rather than politics.
No matter how you feel about election results, the job of the church has not changed today.
We believe in and preach the gospel.
We hope in the Resurrection.
We love our neighbors.
We cultivate a colony of life in a world of death.
On earth as it is in Heaven.
The danger of idolatry isn’t that in crafting a lesser image of the divine, we change GOD.
The danger is that we change OURSELVES.
If unchecked, idolatry chains us and we inevitably take on the worst characteristics of the image we crafted.
I highly doubt the DNC will learn from this. Just as it didn't learn from 2016. They will blame racism and misogyny, which is real and true, but they will not take responsibility for faults or make needed changes.
When I worry about my children, their future, and what kind of world I brought them into, I have so many doubts. But, I recall some people of faith telling me that I brought my babies in with love and am raising them with love and that this world always benefits from more love.❤���
@nienna121 I'm happy you did that! I had babies those same years. Had a virtual shower in 2020 and a small diaper shower in 2022. I was blessed with wonderful gifts, but I did feel like I missed out on some celebration. I'm glad you celebrated!
Let nothing disturb you.
Let nothing frighten you.
All things are passing away.
God never changes.
Patient endurance will obtain all things.
Whoever has God lacks for nothing at all;
God alone is enough.
--Teresa of Avila
