We don't do politics here on our show, because you can find that everywhere else.

We like to talk about the kingdom of God.

And there's some overlap here when it comes to an issue, and that is in churches, people getting after each other

over all the vaccine mask, you name it, controversies, blah, blah, blah.

Yes.

I found something in First Peter talked about how we should be like-minded,

sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate

and humble, don't repay evil for evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, return evil with

blessing. Seek peace and pursue it, it says. And we were just mentioning this on the podcast because

everything seems geared towards breaking us up

and breaking us apart.

Well, you probably do, if you're part of a church community,

have people who disagree with you.

Can you take the stance of submitting to them.

Humility and peace. Can you pursue peace?

Can you pursue peace?

Meaning like, okay, I've got this viewpoint, but I could be wrong.

And I respect you and who you are.

Like, we can't let them break us apart like this.

We're supposed to be unified. No one else can pull it off.
