How wonderful it is, when God’s people can get along with each other, when our differences can be overlooked, and our judgements, dismissed
Joy bursts out when the followers of Christ lay down their arms and focus on the greatness of His salvation, which renders every element of discord as petty and meaningless
Blessed are the peacemakers in the eyes of our God. For they see and understand His incredible mercies. They recognize the dangers that arise from divisions within our ranks, and seek to mend and heal that which has become a cancer within our society
Who are they, who seek to fan the flames of division? Are they not our enemies?
And what do they hope to gain from their actions? Is it not to persuade us away from peace for their own gain?
Wake up America, and listen, all you people of the world; Seek peace, and turn your ways towards the righteousness of God
Bring together all of God’s children through the outworking of His love, so that God’s perfect work may abound within us
There is an extreme level of anger and division building within our world. It threatens to overrun us, and take away our liberty
I have seen that everyone who joins into the discourse of division believes they are right, but each one only aids and abets the mistruths of our enemies
Believe and trust in the truth of God, for it is where our strength and peace resides
Live according to His ways, and have faith in the saving grace of Jesus Christ. For without these we will revert to our old ways of sin
Stay away from all who cause divisions, who claim to be righteous only to further their own cause. Avoid their messages, for they seek to divide us to one side or the other, so they can gain power, riches, and control
We are one in Christ, and each of us is a child of God
Our God is truly a God of love, justice, and mercy. How do you think He regards those who scheme to divide us?
Most often we never meet or see the purveyors of these lies. They hide within cyberspace, or talk in carefully crafted media. Some are not even real, but computer-generated algorithms designed to amplify their effect
Do not get caught in their trap, or be persuaded by the shocking tone of these staged opinions, for they are skilled in crafting their message and given to deception
Consider then, the quality of the ‘fruit’ that results from their words. Do they create harmony, or foster discord? Will it help to bring peace between those on both sides of the issue?
Does the message build up the Church as a whole, and not seek to separate some to one side and the rest to the other?
Pray that God will give us a spirit of unity and love in these times. 3/18/2021
