We are witnessing Washington in disarray. It starts with a House of Representatives whose own speaker is not respected by his own party. To that we should add the fact that Congress is divided even amongst itself, with the House with a majority Republican and the Senate with a majority Democrat.
It would be useful to this members of government who are Christians to read Matthew 12:25: Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.”
For those who do not read the New Testament and also for those who do they should also read a speech from who is with not doubt best president the United States of America has had, Abraham Lincoln. That speech said: A house divided against itself cannot stand. Although he was reflecting on slavery and liberty we should reflect on the stability of this country as a whole with a divided government who is so inflexible the only people affected by this lack of respect on both sides will be the vast majority of the population.
It is time to put arrogance aside and do what is the right thing for the future of this nation. We should always remember the real meaning of the word JOY (Jesus, others and then yourself, in that order).
