Living Larger Than The Times

Last Friday night, for the first time in my life, I attended a Jewish Shabbat service at the invitation of Rabbi Daniel Lapin. It was a wonderful experience and lovely to learn about some of the traditions and requirements that come from the root of my own Christian faith. Of course, the very next morning, a man who claims to be a Christian entered a different synagogue a few hundred miles away and murdered 11 people. My friends, to be a Christian is to actively engage and love all people – people from different walks of life, ethnicities, and religions. There is certainly no sanction for antisemitism or the denigration of any people groups. I hope you’ll join me in a desire to live larger than our times, beyond narrow politics and narrow viewpoints. The world needs this now more than ever.
