If you adhere to being a Disciple of the Christ, who is Jesus, then how do you take a principled stand against the things being wrought by Trump and still maintain a loving heart and attitude towards him and his supporters. In the following passage from 1 Peter 4 we are admonished that love covers a multitude of sins and to be hospitable.
1 Peter 4 7 And the end of all things has drawn-near. Therefore be sound-minded and be sober in your prayers— 8 above all, having fervent love for each other, because love covers a multitude of sins; 9 being hospitable to one another without grumbling; 10 as each received a grace-gift, ministering it to each other as good stewards of the diversified grace of God
And I think on these words and I do try to understand how to actually put that into action, it weighs heavy on my heart because I have seen how conservatism has twisted the words of God, I have personally felt the wrath and disdain that can come from believing that everyone is my neighbor. I see myself growing angry and I try to check myself but I am the least of the Disciples in this world, young and immature in my faith, still crawling. I cry out to God for understanding and I am reminded that Jesus referred to Pharisees and Sadducees as vipers and threw the money-changers out of the temple. God admonishes me at every turn that love, justice, mercy, and forgiveness are his ways, a parent does not simply allow their child to do wrong but provides correction and instruction which is in accordance with sowing love and knowledge. In Proverbs 1:7 it says The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. But I see my tongue as harsh and lack faith that I am one to provide instruction or impart wisdom.
