This has to
be one of the most horrible times ever for our nation’s unity. Citizens are murdered, police are murdered. Perhaps never has there been so much trashing of
others political leanings before our near presidential party conventions. Problems of my youth concerning race, and civil
rights seem to all be unresolved as if unity has never and can never happen. The
mantra of the nation seems to be “I am not heard, no one knows how I feel or my
people’s pain”. Any expression of any view
is shouted down. In the sixties there
was an uprising in new voices being heard.
Now shouting down and violence is the answer when “They” – meaning any other group express themselves. Others demand "they" be silenced.
We can doom
ourselves in being more of the victim than the other group. I heard of a high school football team that
was fragmented. They snuck out and
partied together. That supposedly fixed
the problem. But of course that was temporary as it’s just a game. Defeat will affect every team. But this is no game. Our future generations depend on how men will
act today. As antiquated as this seems
men lead families. Yes, our families are
decimated due to lack of men leading their family. No alcohol, drug or political party or
philosophy will make a forever change. Is it hopeless? Yes it is.
Where is the
hope then? Red eyes are in every group. Nobody
understands us and our situation? Yes there
is one – Jesus Christ. Give him your
pain, grief and sin. He does know your pain.
“2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV)For He
made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the
righteousness of God in Him.” Jesus was nailed to the cross to pay everyone’s
sin debt. The answer is at the communion table found in every part of the country. The problem is we are lacking men leading
their people to life. There is a drink there that all need. “Matthew
26:28 (NKJV) For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many
for the remission of sins.”
