Talking politics can be a heated subject. I have learned not to poke the bear when it comes to opposing beliefs; at the same time, I found I can share my thoughts if I think they can influence someone to hear the truth instead of believing a lie. Everyone has their own political and religious beliefs, and respecting and acknowledging this diversity is important. When I was growing up, my mom wisely advised me not to discuss politics openly, as it often leads to heated debates that can divide people. When I was in my late 40’s two friends of mine, Brian Larson and John Wagner introduced me to politics after I was avoiding it for many years, and they explained things to me so I could better understand. However, genuine conversations about political matters are essential for progress and understanding.

Discussing Politics With An Understanding Tone Of Voice! This Can Create A Safe Space Where Different Perspectives Are Respected And Heard. Remembering That Religion And Politics Can Coexist If We Speak The Truth With Empathy And Seek Common Ground Rather Than Argue Against One Another Is Crucial! ~ Proverbs 20:3 It Is To One’s Honor To Avoid Strife, But Every Fool Is Quick To Quarrel.

In the United States, citizens can vote according to their conscience, guided by God’s will. Engaging in angry arguments only drives people apart instead of fostering meaningful dialogue. Sometimes, it may be best not to talk about politics directly but rather pray for wisdom from above to learn how to love our “enemy,” just as Jesus taught us. By allowing the Holy Spirit into our hearts and those of our neighbors, transformational change can occur gradually over time through open-mindedness and understanding. For example, if a person values life rather than abortion, you would vote accordingly. Despite my mother’s advice on avoiding controversial topics like politics or religion, I have chosen a more balanced approach to understanding others’ viewpoints while sharing my own experiences. Engaging in thoughtful discussions becomes fruitful for both parties if I agree with someone else regarding certain political beliefs or values. However, when confronted with differing opinions, I believe the answer I would say is to ask the Holy Spirit to lead you and to show respect to all people. ~  Bill Greguska 

Romans 12:18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
