When I run errands, I listen to Christian radio. A few days ago I was listening to Chris Fabry and he was speaking about a commitment he made four years ago when Obama was re-elected.
I was touched by his humility and his desire to be pleasing to the Lord with his actions, his thoughts and his words.
So I researched to see if I might be able to find what he said on the internet and I found his commitment on his blog.
I thought we could all here do the same for those who like or don't like trump. What do you think? Is he correct in what he said? Is it something we should do? Why or why not?
Chris Fabry's Oath of Office
Will you respect the office of the President and the man who is charged by our country and by God to lead us?
Will you pray for this man and daily ask God not only for protection, but also for wisdom to lead our free nation?
Will you commit to repent of pre-judging him on things you've heard, on rumors you've been sent by email?
Will you pray for his wife in her new role? For his daughters who will be in the spotlight like never before?
Will you give him an opportunity to make decisions without vilifying him personally?
And when you disagree with a policy, when you believe he is going the wrong direction, will you speak the truth in love, will you be unlike those who have taken the opportunity to tear President Bush down at seemingly every turn?
To support, means to love. And agreeing with everything a person says when they are wrong is not loving. But to disagree in a way that shows dignity to that other person, while at the same time pointing out the truth, is what support means
