 Beyond the Walls: How American Christians Can Transform Society Through Christ's Inclusive Love

As a believer in God Almighty and an American, I write this to put into perspective what American Christians need to do here in the United States to promote and expand the love of Christ. I do not have a degree in theology; I have the Bible. If the Bible is the inspired word of God, we Christians have FAILED in living the RED words from God.

We American Christians tend to think we are God’s chosen people. Guess what, ALL people on God’s created Earth are God’s chosen people. “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:10. This says it all. The previous verses in Luke 19:5-9 clearly show ALL people are God’s children.

It's crucial to remember that Jesus' message was one of inclusivity and compassion. He reached out to those on the margins of society, offering them hope and redemption. As We American  Christians, we MUST emulate this behavior. We must extend our love and compassion OUTSIDE the confines of our churches and social circles to encompass all of humanity.

In our current social and political climate, it's easy to become insular and defensive. However, the true test of the Christian faith lies in our ability to love unconditionally, just as Christ did. This means advocating for the marginalized, standing up against injustice, and being a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. It means showing kindness and empathy in our daily interactions and striving to understand and support those who are different from us.

Moreover, we must be careful not to confuse patriotism with religious duty. While it is important to love and serve our country, our primary allegiance should be to the teachings of Christ. This means that our actions and policies should reflect His love and compassion, rather than a desire for power or dominance.

American Christians have a profound responsibility to live out the teachings of Jesus in their everyday lives. This means embracing all people as God's chosen, promoting love and justice, and ensuring that our actions reflect the inclusive and compassionate nature of Christ's teachings. Only then can we truly expand the love of Christ and fulfill God's mission as His followers.

 Communication The other day, I was listening to a podcast from the Lincoln Project. Rick Wilson was interviewing Adam Frisch, the candidate for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, and they were discussing the importance of speaking to voters with dignity. This got me thinking—what does it truly mean to communicate with dignity? More importantly, how does one ensure that the person receiving that respect understands they are being treated with dignity? Webster defines dignity as “formal reserve or seriousness of manner, appearance, or language,” while respect is defined as “a relation or reference to a particular thing or situation.” Mr. Frisch pointed out that voters don’t like being talked down to, and he’s absolutely right. However, if simply pointing out misinformation or correcting a false belief is perceived as condescending, then our country is in deeper trouble than we realize. Consider this: how does one respectfully engage with someone who insists that Democrats cann...

  Faith and Judgment There is a time for everything under the heavens. Life ebbs and flows in seasons, each with its own purpose and meaning. As Ecclesiastes so poetically reminds Christians, there is “a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot.” These words reflect the rhythm of existence—joy and sorrow, building and tearing down, peace and conflict—all woven into the fabric of our humanity. While these seasons may seem random or even burdensome at times, the Scripture assures us that God has made everything beautiful in its time. Yet, as finite beings, we cannot fully fathom the vastness of God's plan, for He has set eternity in Christian hearts while veiling the full scope of His work. This truth sustains me. It reminds me that life on Earth, with all its toils and trials, has meaning far beyond what Christians can perceive. Christians are called to embrace the gifts of God: to find joy in our labor, to eat, drink, and live in satisfaction, for the...

  DEMOCRATIC PARTY part 2 Earlier, I wrote a blog discussing the future of the Democratic Party, with a focus on reshaping its nominating process. In that piece, I emphasized the need for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to reduce the number of delegates at the nominating convention and raise the percentage of delegates required to secure the presidential nomination. While I still believe these changes are necessary, I now think they shouldn’t be the first priority. After further consideration, I believe the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) top priority should be reorganizing its leadership structure. Currently, the DNC's officers include a Chairperson, five Vice Chairpersons, a Treasurer, a Secretary, and a National Finance Chairperson. To strengthen the party, no Chairperson position should be held by someone currently in elected office. Additionally, instead of having five Vice Chairpersons, the DNC should adopt a regional structure, with Regional Chairpersons re...
