“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap,
if we do not give up.”
~Galatians 6:9
In the words of William Penn, “Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.” Where in society did this go? In politics, we hear voters say the pendulum has swung too far left or too far right and we need to swing back towards the middle. My question is where is the middle? When people think Hamas are the “good guys” and young people question their sex and how they were created by the Almighty God, I am sorry, but something is wrong.
In Washington State as well as other states, there were people trying to disrupt the process of counting the votes. I wonder how we got here as a society. As a culture, are we so concerned about finding compromise that we’ve lost our ability to recognize right from wrong? Perhaps instead of asking ourselves where the middle ground is and how to we get back there, we need to ask a few different questions:
What do I believe? This may seem like a common-sense question to most, but how many of us actually take the time to examine this? The next question, while it may be a “rub” for a minute or two is meant to cause reflection more than anything and it’s this.
Do I want to be part of the problem or part of the solution? This doesn’t mean we have to agree on everything, but that’s my point. When did we lose the ability to think or ask questions? Asking questions to investigate, or questioning isn’t “bad” it’s when we don’t question or have a spirit of curiosity anymore is where it becomes dangerous.
So where do we go from here? Let me leave you with this hope. While we are in a political war right now and while some of the topics brought up in this blog were made into “political” issues they are also issues of the human heart. We often know what the right thing to do is (mostly), it’s following through doing the right thing that is the hard part. There will always be evil here on earth, but if we’re willing to examine ourselves and ask the tough questions, then good can triumph over evil!
John 8:32 And you will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free.
