"Where you stand depends on where you sit." - Rufus Miles
In our recent message series "ONE - Faith|Politics|Unity", we looked at how we can DISAGREE politically, BUT LOVE unconditionally.
A key to being able to do that is to seek to understand.
Keep in mind, seeking to understand doesn't mean you are going to agree on an issue, it's simply a matter of trying to understand why someone's view on an issue differs from yours.
The societal current today seems to be "Agreement = Love, Disagreement = Hate". In Christ, it's supposed to be different.
Political agreement is NOT the determining factor on whether we are to love. In fact, Jesus gave us the commandment to "love one another, as I have loved you."
Seeking to understand involves asking questions, about finding out where someone "sits". It's about building relationships. It's about valuing PEOPLE OVER POLITICS.
