THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE

If I may offer my opinion, nightly news is wearying. Well, it is so 24/7, I guess.

The constant barrage upon our minds regarding divisive political maneuvers is either enhanced or smeared by media bias. CNN and FOX evidently are reporting from two separate orbits.

On one hand there are Senators Reid and Schumer and former speaker Pelosi while loud opposition offers speaker Boehner, Ann Coulter and Rush.

A middle ground isn't needed. To find humility in congress or in the media would be like striking a vein of gold.

We who watch from the sidelines remain in a perpetual state of confusion, irritation, and eventual indifference.

Hmmm....I wonder if this same aggravation lies within the hearts of our communities where bias and smear-tactics have filled the church air-waves. If one could find worse division than in our government, could it be found in our very own denominational circles?

I wonder if middle ground isn't at all what people seek; but rather a humility of heart which would reflect a humble dependence upon Father.

Maybe the blending similarities of church and state is worse than even Christians have believed.
