When we look at the Christian life, we can approach it in one of two ways. We can either think, "I have to attain to a standard that has been set before me," or we can say, "All I need to live this life is in Christ."

We’ve all heard it said, or maybe even said ourselves, “Don’t bring up religion or politics, it will only end in an argument.” There has probably never been a year (at least in my lifetime) where that was truer than this year. The political discourse hasn’t been this acrimonious since the Lincoln-Douglas debates. The Hillary-Donald debates could top them though.
