A Fool’s Wrath and Politics


“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.
