JUST BECAUSE I'M A LIBERAL ...
Brothers and Sisters, may I share something that's been on my mind for quite a while? Just because I'm a liberal doesn't mean I'm not a Christian, because I am. Born again and spirit-filled, it is my true identity and shapes my life, my decisions and where I fall on the spectrum. I am unafraid and unashamed to declare, "Jesus is Lord," and I pray my actions affirm my words. Just because I'm a liberal and a Christian, doesn't mean that I don't love and respect those who are different than I am, rather in religion or politics or because of country of origin or native language. I do, because my faith informs how I see others -- created in the image of God, given divine worth by our Creator. To judge a person for who and what they are and not accept them is to, in my book, to call God a liar. Just because I'm a Christian who happens to be a liberal, doesn't mean I don't love my country or care about the community where I live. God
