Troubled times
August 1, 2022
These are troubling times in our nation. Who would have predicted that folks with differing opinions could not even have reasonable discussions? To disagree is considered ‘hate speech.’
Standing firm on biblical truths such as the sanctity of life, or marriage between one man and one woman are now considered irrelevant. Biblical truths are replaced with saying what people want to hear. Anything is OK.
Jesus set an example of questioning and listening. He gently instructed those who were not following God honoring truths. His harshest words were for those who set themselves up as ‘religious.’ But were in fact proud and greedy.
I want to be Christlike and listen with respect, question to understand, and then respond. The result? We may never know this side of Heaven.
