“The world is constantly trying to label us and categorize us. This makes sense, because God instilled in each of us a desire to be known, understood, and loved. Labels can foster a sense of belonging, connectedness, and purpose. This is why we often embrace them with pride. Whether as Philly fans, Americans, Latinos, feminists, pro-life advocates, or others, labels can be an important aspect of our lives. While it’s acceptable to take pride in these labels, we must be vigilant not to let them overshadow our fundamental identity as followers of Jesus. Holding any identity more closely than our identity in Christ prevents us from experiencing the fullness of unity with God and his church. Therefore, we must be prepared to relinquish any identity that conflicts with our true identity in Christ.”

“As a pastor, I am not interested in telling you who to vote for in an earthly election. Your ultimate vote belongs to Jesus. That issue was settled when you became a Christian. However, I am deeply passionate about Christians accurately representing the heart of Jesus, especially in the way we treat one another and interact with those outside the faith. After all, as comes up over and over in the book, each human being—no matter who they vote for—is created in the image and likeness of God.”
