CHRIST-LIKE EMAILS

I lay awake a long time last night thinking about the plethora of political Emails that are making the rounds these days.

Please understand that I am NOT happy with the political climate of our country. Nor am I in sympathy with our political leaders. I've also done my share of forwarding many of the political Emails in the past.

Lately, however, I've been a little more selective in which political Emails I forward. It bothers me that so many of them make sarcastic and disparaging remarks about our leaders. Some are quite rude even though they have a modicum of truth to them! Some are even hilarious. But I have to stop and ask myself if I am acting Christlike by disseminating such comments.

Maybe the question we should ask ourselves is: What would Jesus do? I know what Paul did in Acts 23:5 "Then said Paul, I knew not, brethren, that he was the high priest; for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people." Should we do any less?

I hope and expect to see a drastic political change Nov. 2nd. In the meantime I will continue to pray for the powers that be -- that God will speak to them, will move upon their hearts, will guide them and even move through them in spite of themselves for the sake of His people Who love the Lord and want His continued blessing upon this great land of ours.

And I will also continue to send out political Emails that are educational eye-openers, but not the trashy ones that degrade and lambast our leaders in Washington, DC.

Remember -- God is still in control and knows what is going on. He sees the whole picture where you and I see only the here and now.

Let's spend our time praying for this great country and its leaders.

The word "Christian" means "a little Christ." When people look at us who bear that name, do they see "a little Christ" in all we say and do including our Emails?
