Jesus Loves Trump AND Obama

The Bible is pretty clear when it says to love everyone, so why have we decided politicians are not included?

Hey Christians, can we talk abut something for a minute? Just us.

Now, when I say Christians, I am not specifying republican or democrat, black or white, man or woman. I mean those after God's own heart because that is all that really matters here.

In light of what our country has been going through this last year, I think we all need a reminder of who we are and how big our God is.

Galatians 5 says, "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other."

I understand that we all make mistakes. We are human after all. But as Christians, we are held to a higher standard than the rest of the world. Therefore, as cliche as it is, I urge you to think, 'what would Jesus do?" next time you think about getting on Facebook and bashing one of our presidents.

I am not saying you have to agree with everything they say or do, and I highly encourage you to vote and advocate for change. However, you absolutely MUST do everything out of love.

Donald Trump and Barack Obama are both God's creation and are fearfully and wonderfully made in his image, and He loves them more than you could ever imagine. His love for them is unconditionally and everlasting. No matter their beliefs or their choices, their heavenly Father still loves them.

Now, I don't care who you voted for. Pray for Donald Trump and everyone else in Washington because they are leading our country now, and that is a big job for anyone. If God can create America, He can take care of it.

God has a big beautiful plan for America, so it is time we start praying about it more than we post about it and trust our God.

Now, let's go out there and love people they way we have been called to and maybe we will make a difference in the Kingdom.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
