I think that we can move toward fulfilling the goal of loving our neighbor if we move past partisan labels, which is incredibly difficult in our society. This doesn't mean we can't challenge the government's policies (in fact, I believe we should when they don't have loving our neighbor in mind), but it does mean valuing our fellow brothers and sisters as children of God. And if we do that in small acts every day, perhaps we can make it a habit.<br /><br />@ Niclolas Fiedler: Thank you. I know it's a tough subject to take. I hope that in raising awareness of this ugly story, folks can pressure the government to care for the people instead of party bickering.revlaurabarclayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180037981858218328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640030144185444897.post-86554237388404012542009-11-18T12:45:48.868-05:002009-11-18T12:45:48.868-05:00Great, I was doing alright today until I read this...Great, I was doing alright today until I read this.

One wonders how much love there is in either the moderates or conservatives for each other as the result is the desire to triumph. Having spend two years in the Greek on I Cors.13 and having faced the problem of our inability to respond with the kind of agape love required by that pericope, it seems to me that we ought to give attention to our need to see the Lord' face for help in dealing with our miserable failure to really care for any one oter than our own sorry nd sordid selves. Still there is the fact that, since Jesus loved us unconditionally, we might be thus empowered to love others unconditionally.Dr. James Willinghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508460179827823148noreply@blogger.com
