Believers are part of the Body of Christ. There is one Body made up of many members, but they do not always speak with one voice.
Over the next 136 days the Body Life of the church will be tested. Someone close to you, or someone who has distanced themselves from you will post something that gets on your last nerve. Count on it!
Baptists are not a silent people, and the rest of the Body of Christ can be very vocal too. Before you let your fingers do your talking with a pithy, sanctified sarcastic post, say a prayer of thanks for the person you are about to torch with your truth taser.
The Body of Christ reflects His character. A fist response should not be your first response. Punching a member of the Body in the mouth for saying something you don't agree with won't improve your argument or win converts to your cause.
After the 2016 Election is over, the Body of Christ will need to get back to loving one another. Why not start today?
Feel free to state your case for what you believe, and campaign for the candidate you support. Just don't use your liberty as a license to vent your spleen. No body wants to see that.
Being at peace with one another does not always require agreeing with one another. It just reflects being in love with one another. Anyone married for five minutes understands this.
The next few months will be a fight. Don't fall out of love with Jesus or with each other. There is more at stake.
TALK LESS! PRAY MORE!
