It’s incredibly concerning to see that across social media, and within our state broadcaster and other media, there is an appalling lack of wisdom in words uttered and views shared when it comes to the outcome of the referendum last week. What is even more shocking is the lack of grace, wisdom and love being shown across the Christian Church:
Democracy is an amazing thing…
…and the democratic process last week is proof of that. There will be those who are delighted that their view prevailed and others sad that theirs didn’t…
…but complaints against democracy are a very dangerous
I have no doubt that just under half of the readers of this will be sore at the outcome, and just over half will be delighted, but what is required now is for people of all political views, of both the in and the out voters to stop battling and start getting on with the all important job of moving ahead positively; to avoid either vitriol or triumphalism and take a measured positive step, followed by another and another.
however we exercised our democratic right on June 23rd 2016, Britain can an will be great, but only if we so choose…
Christians are at risk of being appalling witnesses by showing a severe lack of compassion and wisdom in this!
Let’s not let this political vacuum intensify the spiritual vacuum – Let’s show the love of Christ as we navigate through the minefield of politics ahead, and let us stand firmly on His Word: continuing to be salt and light to a fallen world, and facing the future with His hope, be steadfast in sharing that hope with the world around us.
Ps 133:1: How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!
