I Am the Problem

If I think my political party has a monopoly on God’s will, I might be the problem.

If I have more fear for my country than faith in my God, I might be the problem.

If I want the law enforced against my enemies while it pardons my friends, I might be the problem.

If I call my team to arms and then condemn those who take up arms against me, I might be the problem.

If I use scripture to justify someone’s behaviors while ignoring the scripture that condemns them, I might be the problem.

If I think God wants to save America more than all its citizens, I might be the problem.

If I think God wants me to stand against the sinfulness of others but not the sinfulness within myself, I might be the problem.

If I think America needs laws regulating Christian righteousness but not Christian charity, I might be the problem.

If I call out the sins of the world while ignoring the sins of the church, I might be the problem.

If I think God desires us to change the culture more than seeking to change hearts, I might be the problem.

If I spend more energy calling out the hate of others than showing the love of Christ,

I am the problem.
