It seems to me that fear is behind much of the political posturing, accusations, and vitriol. It's not only a matter of fear mongering either. Fear is gripping people on every side of the political spectrum. People believe that if their candidate loses the future of America is at stake. That renders reasonable discourse impossible.
Of course it takes two. Not only do we need to be ready to listen. Those who speak must be willing to speak the truth. We've lost so much of that today. Thank God for those who do listen respectfully and those who speak truthfully. Best we all seek to get to the truth of the matter. And Jesus is the embodiment of truth.
