I wondered what, if anything, I would say yesterday about the assassination attempt that took place Saturday afternoon.  I elected not to bring it up either in my announcements or message.  But I just want to repeat what I said a week ago before this event took place.  And it is just as true this week as it was last week.  The book of James (as well as many other places in the Bible) tells us that if we want to live according to the royal law in scripture, we need to Love our neighbor as ourselves.  This means not spewing hatred and vitriol toward others.  Many people on both sides of the aisle are treating this election as the end of the world depending on who gets elected as our next president.  Loving each other is farthest from our mind.  As Christians, this should never be the case.  Love and respect other opinions and do not demonize someone because they disagree with you.  Honor them as you would want to be honored.  Love them as you would want to be loved.  And show them that Christ lives in you!
