Anyone struggling with the political/ religion tie ins?

This seems much higher lately than anytime I can recall [I'm 60ish]

For me it is easy. Trump is the opposite of a real Christian and he is making a mockery out of God.

What? A1 if a president SA someone, they shouldn’t be president. He didn’t even apologize. Not Christian behavior for sure.

Personally, I’m not struggling now but in the past I was concerned. I started praying and studying scripture.

Christ led me to understand that all of this was foretold, and it has to happen before Christ returns. Keep his commandments and build the kingdom. That is his command….i always say (to myself) if they persecuted Jesus Christ himself and he was the son, then what should I expect?

For your encouragement: Psalms 46

Nations are in uproar,kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

The Lord Almighty is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth.

He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire.

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”

Thank you!! What a great encouraging post.

Yeah, I feel like politics should avoid religion altogether and I'm frankly annoyed when I see very corrupt politicians trying to manipulate religious people into voting for them. I guess this happens on both sides because the dems try and manipulate people into thinking they're the ones for social justice (its own kind of religion). But still, I think we separated church and state for a reason

Let us pray…
For your encouragement:

Matt.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

It is important to know that political qualifications are not necessarily biblical qualifications. Of course, we should eagerly and aggressively support biblically sound candidates. But we also need to support the best candidate, foibles, sins, and all.

Does anyone know how to make their resume look more manager like? My resume shows:

Expecting to hear if I got the job by Tuesday but have an interview the same day. How do I ask for time to think it over if I get an offer and how do I get the interview people to possibly speed it up so I can decide between the 2? I don't want to accept and then decline a few days later.. 😩

Putting together a wedding weekend itinerary and have been dealing with a frustrating level of questions from some random in-laws who are known for stirring the pot. Would it be rude to say “please contact x with any questions. Kindly do not direct questions to the bride unless there is an emergency”? What is a better way to say this?
