We’re overwhelmed by talk of violence, hate and incivility. Everyone is crying out "What can we do?" What are YOU willing to do?
For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
I try to focus on the principles found in Colossians 3, rather than engage in political discussions. The last time I tried that (innocently, with family members) I felt as if I was engaging with pure evil; no civility whatsoever. It's very difficult to have a discussion with those who feel morally superior, yet have no knowledge of the truth that is found only in Christ Jesus.
