For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?
I am very saddened by what happened in our nation's
capital yesterday. It brought tears to my eyes at the mere fact that there are
such hatred and divisiveness in this country that these insurrectionists would
storm the hallowed halls of our capital and destroy and try to intimidate our
elected leaders who were trying to perform their elected duty. This was, in my
opinion, an intentional effort to destroy our democracy.
It also painted a
perfect picture that we are living in a divided nation (house). As a divided
nation/house, our democracy will cease to exist. It still stands and will continue to stand as long
as we come together as a nation under God.
Destroying our
democracy, is this what the man occupying the Whitehouse wants? In the past
four years, he has done nothing to heal this nation of its division from the
divide brought to light during the 2016 election. Instead of unifying the
government, the Whitehouse occupant has stoked fear, hatred, and further
division through divisive rhetoric that further stoked this segment of our
country's anger. This is not real leadership.
This country needs
healing (2 Chronicles 7:14), and I am praying for this country to come together
and be healed. We must stand firm on the truth, what is right, call out wrong
regardless of who commits the wrong, and we must stand firm on the truth of
God's Word.
A house divided within
itself will not stand. Consider the members of our bodies and how each part
functions together, and when one member of the body is ailing, then the body
does not function properly. The breach has to be repaired; this principle
applies to our nation.
