I have come to the point where with everything that is going on in the world. I sit back and say, "What could getting upset solve?" We live in a country divided, where each side takes delight in pointing fingers, making mountains out of molehills, turning trivial matters and offhand comments into life and death situations, and pouring their energy into making sure the opposition gains no ground at any cost. We see it in our government, we see it in our traffic and other interpersonal relationships, and we even see it in our churches. The attitude is, "I may be wrong, but I'll do my damnedest to find anyone who is more in error. I may sin, but I'll search high and low to fins someone else whose sins are darker than mine, just to make myself look not as bad."
I realize this is nothing new, but has seemed to have intensified lately. I've searched Scripture to see where it says we should undermine. discredit, and work to destroy those with whom we disagree, or don't even like.
I follow a God of love AND justice, a Savior for all who claim Him, and a Spirit available to anyone who believes. Joshua 24:14-15 states: "Now therefore revere the Lord, and serve Him in sincerity and faithfulness; put away the gods your ancestors served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. Now, if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods of your ancestors served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living; but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."
