When spin is more important than truth and
winning is more important than loving,
when circling the wagons is more important than loving the enemy, then
we have failed to be Christ followers—
Christ,
who did not consider his reputation something to defend,
who did not fight back against mockery and misinformation,
who did not power-over his political foes, but rather
submitted, came under,
to the point of death. If I am a Christ-follower, that is the path I should choose.
Lord, help.
