One of those is the commandment to love one’s neighbor.
Conservative Values: You are welcome here.
Liberal Values: You are welcome here.
Our political culture is toxic right now and it is making enemies out of people who should be friends.
Make an effort to have a good conversation with someone who doesn’t agree with you about politics.
Don’t see the “other” as an enemy.
Fast from your favorite news channel.
Practice the art of empathy.
Pray for our country and its leaders, all of them.
Take your citizenship seriously—your country needs you.
Mark 3:25NIV
A house divided against itself cannot stand.
