Good Morning, God,
Lord, the headlines have been about the owner of a fast-food restaurant business - and a very successful business, at that - sharing his views on how running his business in what he believes to be the Christian way and living his life, especially his marriage, in a Christian way, has blessed both. Part of the business success is being closed on Sundays, and his marriage success is believing that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman 'til death they do part.
Now, Lord, he is being castigated for taking this view of the Christian faith and Christian marriage. There have been calls to boycott the business. Towns are considering not giving a license for the business to operate. The epithets are being hurled against him, all because he expressed his own view of how his faith calls him to live.
Lord, may we all respect each other's viewpoints more than this. May we not be strident in our voicings, but seek to understand one another out of care and concern.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
