Cancel culture is killing our country. The faith community is not immune from it. It is HaSatan’s most lethal weapon. Ten years ago I created a set of principles to help me through a relationship conflict … I needed something to help guide me to forgiveness and reconciliation. Given recent events that are dividing us, I offer fellow believers the following. Godspeed and Shalom, Pastor D-Wach
D-Wach’s Rules of Engagement within the Faith Community
1. Seek empathy; everyone has a back story, and it is our responsibility to know and honor it. And empathy is a two-way street. (John 4:1-26)
2. Practice extreme hospitality. (Genesis 18)
3. Practice the 80/20 rule (Speak less and ask questions). (James 1:19; Proverbs 10:19)
4. Focus on common ground; there is always common ground.
5. Build up and affirm rather than tear down and destroy. That means do not label and stereotype; live at peace with others (Romans 12: 17-18).
6. Seek to reflect God’s character in our words and actions; we are priests of the Most-High God (Exodus 19:6).
7.Practice Jesus’ rule of forgiveness: 70 x 7 (Matthew 18: 21-22).
