Weighing In

I am not an arguer.

I try to stay out of debates.

I really do.

I would have made a lousy attorney.

I am a problem solver.

I assess.

I analyze.

I step back.

I question.

I think.

And then,

I plan.

I look and see what needs to be done to fix, amend, solve.

And if you are not solving the problem with me, then we are done talking.

Because I am not an arguer.

Sometimes that gets me into trouble.

Most of the time it gets me out of it.

But...

I can stay silent no longer.

I admire those who stand up for their convictions.

I want to be more courageous that way.

Yet, I feel that lately, those of us claiming to be 

believers and followers

Have become sorely misguided.

When did 

Following Christ

Living our faith

turn into

Venom

and 

Political Debates

?

What happened to seeking the lost?

Compassionate eyes?

Sharing the Gospel?

Last time I checked, no one was brought to the foot of the cross, arms reaching for our Savior, from a political tirade on Facebook.

Support Chick Fil A.

Or Don't.

I could.not.care.less.

But it's time to quit spewing venom in the faces of those we see as lost

And get out there

And find them

Quit your political self-righteousness.

Because if we really, really see others as lost,

We should be more concerned about the saving of their souls

Than we are of decisions made in Washington 

or anywhere else.

Focus, people.

Time is short.

Which is more important?

Politics?

or 

Souls?
