IL Church: Go Out to Dinner and Talk About Politics with Love

October 19, 2020 by Staff

(ChurchLeaders) Stateline Church in Rockford, Illinois, is challenging its members to have political conversations over dinner with people who have different views than they do. The church gave away $50 gift cards in order to support local restaurants and encourage believers to have discussions where they show Jesus’ love instead of tearing others down. 

“If you are a Christ-follower,” said lead pastor Gregg Giamalva, “why would you want to tear down a bridge when a bridge is the pathway that the Holy Spirit will move in between us? Even if somebody disagrees with you, even if somebody has a difference of opinion with you, why would you ever ruin a relationship that has the opportunity to introduce Christ into it? It’s never made sense to me.”
