Election Week Is a Love Test

Every two years we get fired up about who’s winning and who’s losing, and it gets easy to turn the other side into the enemy. But heaven isn’t in turmoil. Jesus is still reigning as King. So the most important question this week isn’t how your candidate did. It’s how well you’re loving the people who voted the other way.

In this message, preached earlier this year, we start with a blunt question: on a scale of one to ten, how well do you actually love? Not warm feelings, but love lived out in your relationships, your money, your work, and your reactions to difficult people.

We build everything on Jesus’ two greatest commandments: love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. That includes your neighbor with the opposite yard sign. If the world knows us more for criticism than compassion, we’ve missed the point.

Then we get practical: how love covers a multitude of sins, what it means to pre-forgive, how to love when you don’t feel it, and why time is the truest measure of love.

Press play, share it with a friend from across the aisle, and ask yourself: who needs your time and forgiveness this week?

Praying for you,

Pastor Ed
