You don’t need a blogger/podcaster to remind you of the amazing amount of division we face not just daily but minute by minute. Division. If I say, “Ice cream!” Someone will shout, “Cookies!” I get it. There’s always going to be sides. Potato chips versus popcorn. Division. In very interesting time in global history. A cancel culture generation where what you put out there can easily be classified as wrong and how dare you. Kevin Hart meant what he said, “Cancel culture has destroyed comedy.” In 2021 it’s extremely difficult to bring up God. The reaction? “Well what God are you talking about? Is it a She God or a He God and is there equal love and forgiveness?” Oh boy. The term I couldn’t stand during the breaking moments of the pandemic was, “This too shall pass.” Every time it was brought up the thought was connected to the Bible. We need some reality here. We think it was said. Although it’s referred to 120 times in the big book, it’s not really spoken in the way that we are spewing it. It’s kinda brought up in Genesis 4:14. Plus let’s not leave out 2 Corinthians 4:17-18. Listen, King Soloman commanded his servants to create something positive claiming, “If a sad man wears it he shall be happy. If a happy man sports it he shall be sad.” This too shall pass. He had those exact words engraved on his ring. So much division. Decisions made by what we seek. Right or wrong it feels good in the moment. Google that and see what the percentages are when it comes to believers that speak out but can’t back it up. What does it really mean when a Southerner says, “I’m gonna pray for you?”
