James 3:18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for* those who make peace.
The tone of our national and political conversation has gotten a lot of attention over the past month or so. That's a good thing.
During the State of the Union address, I think we paid more attention to who was sitting next to whom than what was being discussed. Probably not a very good thing.
I think it's good to pay attention to our tone not just because of what happened in Tucson but just because it's a good thing. "A harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace." Do you make peace with your words and actions? Do you make peace in your home? Do you make peace in your workplace? Your school? Your neighborhood? Your church?
Perhaps a little less attention should be paid to who's right and wrong and a little more to who is building peace. Then a harvest of righteousness will come.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
