All Life Matters!

Galatians 3:28 – “Now, in Christ, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Greek, a slave or free, male or female. You are all the same in Christ Jesus.”

    As more marches are planned and more legislations are challenged about police brutality and citizen interaction; one thing must remain at the forefront of all discussion – all life matters.  While I am a vocal supporter of voting our conscience, I am also even more outspoken about praying in the spirit for those vying for leadership positions.  Only God knows the hearts of men and we can only trust what they say will actually manifest itself when they take positions of power.  Our scripture today reminds us that it does not matter about background, origin, race or gender, we are all the same in Christ therefore we must treat everyone as Christ did.  

     An important concern is that we speak up to those who do not know the love of Christ and introduce them to his glory.  The best sermon is not being preachy from on a soapbox or wagging a critical finger in the face of someone who may not practice a particular faith-walk but to live your life in a way that everyone can ‘see’ the Christ in you.  Live and love in a way that shows those around you that all life matters and that Christ died to save us all.

     Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a power-packed GREAT day! Don’t be distracted; stay focused on your purpose! Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
