While
Jerram Barrs was here over the weekend, I asked him
(among many other things!): How should we respond to
those who are trafficking in Gospel-denying fear
about political matters?
Part of his response was to point out how disrespectful talking about President Obama and others as some Christians do is-- not simply of our president, but of other Christians who have faced real threat and persecution.
This is such a key point. This video underscores it:

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
