We live in a loud, noisy, opinionated culture. News outlets of every type and political leaning abound with opinions more than factual information. It seems that everyone on social media has strong opinions about everything and feels compelled to let us all know what those opinions are. Calm and rational discourse among those with opposing views is almost extinct. They see each other as the enemy. Hateful words are now common practice. Emotions run high.
How do we know who and what is right? It's all too easy to think, "well, that person sounds right!". Then five minutes later someone posts another view and that person sounds right as well. Confusion and strife abound. (Join me for the rest of this post on Sunday, June 24th, at Woman to Woman Ministries where each Sunday I share a bit of Sunday Soul Food!)

It all sounds like a bag of cats to me.
ReplyDeleteTo me, too!
DeleteElizabeth, much wisdom in your words. Every day it seems like there is more division and dissension all around us. May we be rooted in God's truth and hold on tightly to what we've been taught to navigate these days in which we are living. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteYes, I want to be deeply rooted in God's truth, love and grace so I am not shaken in these turbulent times!
