I value greatly that mediums exist for the free exchange of
ideas regarding things like politics. I
also have come to see that most political interaction is social media is mean
spirited and lacks true information.
It is so easy to snipe at others. It is empty and causes division where there
should be work toward unity. Putting the
facts out there is good and productive.
Putting good information where others can see it is vital. Using a public forum to malign and
character assassinate is wrong.
When we employ only pejorative comments we do not aid in
honest thoughtful decisions regarding political issues. Instead we raise the tension between others
and create conflict. As a Christ
follower I am to promote peace and unity.
This is not possible if I am engaged in insults over issues.
I must assure that any political interaction I have is based
on my obligation to work for the good of everyone. There is no political party that does this well. I cannot align with anything that does not
work toward peace and unity. I also must
not compromise my faith in order be politically correct.
The use of social media in the political arena has
value. I must assure that any involvement
of mine is centered on my obligations to Christ and his commands. Anything else is a failure on my part to
follow.
Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
