There seems to be a spirit of anger and hatred pervasive in our culture today. Whether in politics or social media or at work or in schools, anger seems to be rampant and even out of control. How can disciples of Jesus Christ be “in the world, but not of it”? How can we be Christ’s ambassadors? How can we avoid failing into the mire, and, instead, be used by Christ to becomes agents of kindness and love? Today we’ll see how God’s Word can help us.

Mid-term elections are approaching, and politics seem to get uglier and more mean-spirited with each new campaign season. But, disciples of Jesus need to consider our role in politics. Should we just give up and withdraw from participating, or go along with it all, or does Jesus point us to a different approach? Though the lines probably aren’t that simple, we’ll see today that Jesus and the Bible actually have a lot to say about how his disciples are to view politics.
Toxicity

The world around us encourages to take short-cuts that short-circuit the way God intends us to live. Those short-circuits can lead us into dark places in our lives, where we’re enslaved to sin and struggle with things like anger, bitterness, sadness, and depression. It can lead to an unhealthy downward spiral in our lives, as the Book of Judges shows us. Yet, God calls us to remember His ways and His works in our lives to get back on track and experience His best.
