I am so saddened by the events that unfolded in our nation’s capital today. If you know me well, you know that I’m not someone who is overly concerned whether a person leans right or left or towards the blue or the red. I am concerned that we the Church—those who follow Jesus—practice the principles of God’s Kingdom. In the midst of these difficult times, it is important that we remember our identity as Christ-followers. And as Christ-followers we are taught in James chapter 3 verse 18:
Those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.
In other words, as Christ-followers we are to be proponents of peace so that His wisdom is able to bear fruit. This is not easy when our flesh, the media, and the world is clamoring for a different posture. But at the end of the day, we know that our God is in control and he will be the one to ultimately overcome.
Please join me in prayer today that the Church plants seeds of peace in these days of transition.
