For the past several years, political commentary has talked about the growing divide between the two parties in US. It seems that no matter how common sense a bill appears, one party will support it and the other reject. This week, the divide was easy to see.
On Tuesday evening, President Trump held a joint address of the congress. I watched about a third of it live, but saw more parts through replays. At one point, the President honored a 13-year-old boy who has battled brain cancer for years and overcome doctor's expectations. His dream is to become a police officer and he has been made an honorary officer numerous times. Tuesday, President Trump made him an honorary secret service agent.
The look of surprise and thankfulness on the young man's face was priceless. The moment brought much applause and tear filled eyes, but from only half the room. The Democratic party members didn't budge and looked annoyed at the special honor given. A number of news outlets had comments about the political party's reaction.
I see much the same when witnessing to people on the street or online. We can clearly see God's handiwork in His creation in very intricate detail so that we are without excuse. Yet, many scientists turn a blind eye to it and claim random chance evolution. They refuse to see what is before them and stay stuck in their ways.
In the same manner, many want to go on living a life of unrepentant sin and enjoy its pleasures for a season. God said come to Him all who are weary and burdened, and He will give them rest. The struggle against sin never ends, but all who repent and trust in Christ alone have an advocate on the day of judgment.
I pray that the divide in this country is ended and we can return to common-sense laws, such as only biological women in women's sports and private spaces. Until we turn to God though, the divide will continue to grow. I hope to live this quad life to help spread the good news of salvation to all.
