Reflections From Sunday Evening

This morning I shared about our church being a polling place on Tuesday.  Ballot booths were set along the wall where our prayer boards are.  I thought that was appropriate.  In keeping with the tenor of the times the results of this election are being applauded in some circles and deeply criticized in others.  Some are jubilant while others are distressed.  So what do we do?
I point you back to what we talked about last week.  Regardless of what candidate is elected, what party prevails or what platform is adopted we do not trust in those results.  We trust in God.  We are people of FAITH.
As people of faith we have a responsibility.  Regardless of whether you are happy or sad about the outcomes Christians have the responsibility of being agents of reconciliation.  We are those God expects to heal divisions.  We are uniquely positioned to be the people of God in turbulent times and watch God work through His Church.
Of all people we are the people who have hope.  Share the hope of Christ and make a difference.
On another note...
Did you see that Chiefs game today?  Who woulda thought?
On yet another note...
We draw nearer the opening of our building.  The entrance is impressive.
It's been a good day.  I hope you've had a good day too.
