There is a lot of division in America today. We are an agitated people. You find it in the home, the work place, the church, the school, the government and of course within our own lives. I know much of it comes from the various social issues that we have such strong convictions about. However, it isn’t much different than during the time in which Jesus lived and taught. The Roman Empire was a vicious empire with so much debauchery. No doubt it was much worse than what we experience in America today. Jesus teaches us that Christianity works in every culture and you can find solace in the midst of agitation. I am glad for that because we live in troubling times and I am sure they will even get worse, but praise be to God we serve the Prince of Peace. If you are reading this, I encourage you to take your stands against evil in a Christ like manner. Fulfill your duty to vote as you should. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind. Remember this, that we are in this world but not of this world. We live in a different realm and do not have to become agitated and angry in our every day lives while dealing with people that do not agree with us. Treat them as Christ would treat them.
