In the honor of forthright honesty: I neither watched nor listened to the DNC speeches. What I have heard was from listening to NPR.
The strain of questioning on the Diane Rhem Show revolved around, "Does Hillary really support Obama?" You have to admit it would be hard to be a full throated supporter of someone who just trounced your decades old dream. Nevertheless, she seems to be willing to support him in the cause of supporting the DNC platform and ideals.
The lesson:
In the life of the church we cannot always support Bro______ or Sister________. But, like Hillary with her beloved Democrats, we Christians can in the name of unity and for the love of the church that Jesus purchased with His blood, minimize conflicts. We do this by keeping our eye on the greater prize. That prize is being a faithful servant who loves the church and serves Jesus through the church.
If Hillary refused to support Obama that would probably be a large enough fracture to doom the Democrats hope of regaining the White House. If Christians in the local church refuse to support one another, that will be a large enough fracture to doom the hope of our influencing our communities for Christ.
A Bible lesson from Hillary, who would have thought?
