I truly fear for the soul of our country. Politicians talk about bringing God back into our lives, yet their actions suggest the opposite. As I reflect on faith and politics, I see a troubling pattern; people are forgetting the most important commandment—to love thy neighbor.
This commandment does not say, “Love thy neighbor if they look like you.” It does not say, “Love thy neighbor only if they are in your country legally.” It simply commands us to love our neighbor.
Another commandment warns us: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. And yet, many —have placed their worship elsewhere. Not in faith, not in kindness, but in their bank accounts, their stock portfolios, and their political victories.
This post is not about dissecting specific policies. It is about something deeper: Who are we as Americans? Who are we as human beings?
One day, we will all die. Our leaders will die. The only thing we leave behind is our legacy—the love and compassion we instill in our children, the way we treat others, and the words we speak.
When you are on your deathbed, you will not be saying, “I’m so proud I supported the end of birthright citizenship.” You will not be saying, “I’m glad we denied refuge to people fleeing for their lives.” You will not be celebrating that billionaires became richer while hardworking families lost everything.
One day will you question your actions on Earth? I urge you to do some deep soul-searching. Strip away the politics, the justifications, and the talking points.
Ask yourself one simple question: What would God do?
Because it’s not this.
