I have had a dialog with two gentlemen on the subject of a follower of Christ and being part of the political world. As I have been challenged and my study of Scripture, my attitude and actions are far different than in years past. I am doing now with other what I wish other would have done with me long ago. One man clearly twists Scripture to fit his objectives. I’m sorry, this is exactly what your dad did on his thrashing of Matthew 19:8. It was disgusting, and to run is a cowardly act, as this other gentleman has done. However, to my great joy, one man remains at the table and is in serious dialog. Of the three, he is the only one who is following the model in Gen 32, the model of the elect. Yes those are hard terms, but is it not what the Scripture says? It remains my desire to reconcile with your dad before one of us goes to our grave. I remain willing. He clearly is not, but I still live in hope. Our kids need to know that. I love you!
