Choosing Sides By Bishop Julius C. Trimble
Choosing Sides By Bishop Julius C. Trimble
It seems as though we are always being asked to choose sides. Left or right, a day person or a night owl, a progressive or conservative. A free thinker or a person of deep religious faith. Are you a patriotic American or a critic of this democratic experiment? Are you a Jesus only person?
What is you ethnicity,race,preferred pronouns? It is as if all of the advertising, and platforms and people influencers are trying to divide us into two groups; “Insiders and outsiders”
Or maybe we are all expected to strive to in the “On top group verses the bottom always struggling.
I wrote a poem several years ago entitled “Bumper Sticker Truth.”
I vowed never to be one of those persons with bumperstikers all over their vehicles. “No bumper stikers for me. Then one day I saw a car with this bumper sticker; “Human-Kind” be both.
What are the choices you feel you are being forced to make? Pray for discernment and grace from God!
