Why I Love the Clintons

I imagine that those who read my blog are intrigued by the title of this post. Mayhaps that is why you are reading it right now. For the most part, my readers would be conservative Christians who disagree with many views of the Clintons. However, there is something wrong with this scenario. Think about it - Christians fascinated by another Christian proclaiming to love the despicable (at least, that's how most of us think of them). Sure, I intentionally chose the title of this post to try and "trap" you. But, did it work? If not, then great! But, if you were one of the millions (or couple) of people who were so fascinated by why a conservative Christian might love a liberal non-Christian (despite who they may be), then my little snare worked. The body of Christ has drawn too many lines in the sand where Scripture doesn't. In fact, sometimes beyond where Scripture does. One of those lines is how we think about people different than us, despicable people, lying, cheating, stealing, prideful, Clinton-type people. The love of Christ should surprise anyone except a Christian. After all, we are the very ones who know personally the amount of forgiveness that Christ has poured out onto us. It covers us head to toe, drenching our sinful garments. Remembering our own sinfulness should keep us humble, should keep us loving. Even people so wicked as the Clintons. It is always good to keep in mind the saying, "But for the grace of God, there go I."
