"When you talk, you should always be kind and wise," Colossians 4:6.
Yes. We must walk in wisdom. We live among outsiders making the best of God's timing. We speak grace as we respond to anybody. Our language must show our lives given in obedience to Christ. We know that this is the Jesus Way. So why is it that when folks speak politics, suddenly, it's OK to repeat lies, to tell despicable stories gleefully about the opposition, to express vile hatred, to sling mud and muck with our tongues? This, brothers and sisters, should not be. We did not so learn Christ ... if we heard Him.
We walk with a brother or sister to share in the mystery of the Good News. And, together thankfully, we make the most of the time God has given us to speak grace, love, and truth.
