“A fool’s wrath is known at once…” Proverbs 12:16.
“But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable…”
James 3:17.
If we vote for people who
reflect us, who are in our image, then I think we should look in the mirror of
God’s Word and ask ourselves just what we are doing, just who we have become.
Is this the fruit of talk radio, which of course only serves up what we will
consume? Is it the fruit of talking heads with sarcasm and vitriol on
television that appeal to our baser instincts?
The Christian has no excuse to
live a life of anger, no justification – we are called to be peacemakers.
Violence and anger will slay a society; we ought to fear it more than we fear a
biological pandemic –we ought to distance ourselves from its toxicity; but it
has become a way of life.
