American Against American – Isaiah 19:2,3

Isaaih 19:2,3  I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian – brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.  The Egyptians will lose heart and I will bring their plans to nothing. (NIV)

America is on the cusp of losing heart. We are teetering between life and death, light and dark, blessings and curses.  Americans are turning against Americans, brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, race against race, creed against creed, and religion against religion.  There is an ever increasing rip in the fabric of our society.

If we are to avoid catastrophic consequences than a mending must occur.  We as Christians should me on the front-lines of repairing and rebuilding.  After all, Christ said that everyone will know us by our love for one another.  Unfortunately, at this point in time, many of us Christians are the very purveyors of this internal strife.

When Jesus was born the angels announced, “Glory be to God in the highest, peace on earth and good will toward man.”

If this is what messengers of Heaven announced with the arrival of the Christ, should our goal be any less?
