It was Christianity, not the Democratic or Republican Party, that shaped Western civilization. It was the teaching of Jesus, not the planks of our current political platforms, that laid the foundation for our modern sense of justice, fairness, and dignity. Throughout our very short history as a nation, both of our current parties have gotten it wrong. During our short history as a nation, multiple parties turned out the lights because their party was over. During our short history, political leaders from both parties have fallen short morally and fallen short in their leadership. So why would followers of the King who did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life for the men and women in the party you dislike, prioritize allegiance to and allow ourselves to be divided by the promises of lesser kings? Why would we allow a political view to divide us from a living, breathing you? A you for whom Christ died? For Jesus followers, a you is always more important than a political view.
