Romans 12:18 calls us to live peaceably with all, yet in this era of escalating division, that feels like a distant dream. Micah 6:8 reminds us to do what is right, show mercy, and walk humbly - virtues that seem to have been abandoned in our current landscape.
The pendulum has swung to extreme edges over the last decade. Cruelty has become a currency, with tribal loyalties replacing human compassion. Whether in immigration, geopolitical conflicts, or domestic politics, we've forgotten how to see each other as humans first. The empires - political, media, ideological - thrive on our fragmentation.
As 2 Corinthians 4:18 teaches, the things we see are temporary. The heated rhetoric, the polarizing debates, the seemingly insurmountable differences - all are fleeting. What endures are the unseen things: empathy, understanding, our shared humanity.
Lord knows I've been guilty of getting overheated. But perhaps our path forward lies in remembering that beneath our differences, something more profound connects us.
Let us pray that somehow, someway, we can pull it together.
