When we as a society need to be coming together
more than ever, we are instead experiencing a
culture war. While there has always been a culture divide in our country, it's more difficult to handle right now in the midst of COVID-19, which is why Greg and RD decided to talk about this in this week's episode.
To begin with, Greg gives some of the history of culture wars and discusses
how we as Believers need to be thinking and walking through this. RD jumps in by agreeing that the church needs to rise and not pick a side, but define and redefine things, and take the posture of a servant. He also reminds listeners that the ultimate war is not between our culture disagreements, but between Satan and the Kingdom of God; we need to remember who the Enemy actually is.
In thinking about this, Greg expresses that we need to be
loving our neighbors as ourselves more than we probably ever will again in our lifetime. RD concurs and says that you don't have to pick a side in the best way to handle COVID-19; you can think it's important to
save the economy, and you can think it's important to have
everyone stay at home. As long as we are first and foremost loving our neighbors in our actions, RD says, that's what's most important. Greg adds that it's in our nature to say that we have to choose between one thing or another, but that's not always the case.
In closing, Greg and RD emphasize that our actions have to be reflective of the
fruit of the Spirit.
