After months of punditry and political ads that have you seeing cross-eyed, November 6th is upon us. At this moment of truth, what should a Christian do? It goes without saying—make sure you exercise your right to vote! But don’t leave it at that. You'd have to be living on a remote desert island not to know there will be many challenges facing our nation and the church in America (and worldwide) in the next few years; so now is a good time to think about what our role as believers should be both individually and corporately.

If she doesn’t go through this process, I’m not sure she can truly say “from her heart” she has truly forgiven. (Matthew 18:32-35) But forgiveness can be a challenge because the hurt may still resonate, and the emotions and fears combine to add confusion as to what true forgiveness looks like.
