In the United States, we are quickly approaching an election day that will impact our country for the next four years. It is a country divided, and the tension from the hostility of both sides at times is palpable. What is the believer's role in this? The debates have been substantive, but the internet water cooler clashes have been much less civil. They have been petty and even ludicrous at times. As we lend our voice to the democratic process, let's keep in mind the teachings of our faith. If you're going to argue and debate, do so in a way that preserves relationship. No need to fight, as we're all on the same team.
Readings: Jeremiah 44:24-47:7; 2 Timothy 2:22-3:17; Psalm 94:1-23; Proverbs 26:6-8
