More on the need for unity
Related to yesterday’s post on our growing need for unity, please see this from World Magazine on the same topic. Be prepared for strong expressions of anger, with threats of violence. This is probably the mildest of the statements quoted there:
“While financially I supported the Vote No [on Proposition 8, the amendment to ban gay marriage in California], and was vocal to everyone and anyone who would listen, I have never considered being a violent radical extremist for our equal rights. But now I think maybe I should consider becoming one. Perhaps that is the only thing that will affect the change we so desperately need and deserve.”
This is on the increase. It’s no surprise to God; it’s just something we’re not used to here. We ought to be prepared for it, by growing in our knowledge of God through the Scriptures, by increasing our united support for one another in the body of Christ, and practicing love toward our neighbors and even those who may decide to be enemies.
