May 30, 2020
1hr 4 min
At a time when the judgment of God is evident upon our nation as hatred and violence erupt around us, Chris and Rich discuss how even well-intended online discussions can fan the flames of an angry people. Not only what topics we choose to engage but how we address these issues can inadvertently add fuel to the fire. As Christians, even in matters of important doctrinal issues, we must treat others as creations in the image and likeness of God, showing grace and mercy as God has been merciful to us. In this episode, they also ask the listeners to take time to pray that God would pour out His mercy on our nation.
