PEACE is the prime objective. But let’s get real in this current environment of civil unrest and violent siege against the US Capitol building it is seemingly far off. There is an obvious indifference visibly on display when the reaction for one group who are comprised of disgruntled privilege protestors because of the outcome from the electoral college votes violently intrude like terrorist againt the Capitol versus another who vocal march of BLM protestors who are in front of the Capitol for their belief that protection of their life matters. Absolutely both groups received by law enforcement in a different manner and yes this reaction causes a continual separation among the US citizens who are on the browner spectrum in our society. Disparity, Inequity, Systematic oppressions, and racial divide are a deep seated virus infecting and plaguinig us.
What can we do?
What should the Christian stance be in this time of unrest and violent insurrection?
God commissions us to be Peacemakers. We are to lay the foundation of truth in action and live accordingly to that truth – God’s word. So, Peace is simply not just a good thing to pray for and hope one day we achieve. Peace is an active choice to pursue. I am not a supporter of silence AND I do embrace Christ’s examples for how we should depict being a maker of peace – an infulencer in the world. Let’s explore more…By the way the choice is yours on how you conduct your life and declare your stance. Selah and Shalom.
