A fool finds no pleasure in understanding
but delights in airing his own opinions.
(Proverbs 18:2)
Civil discourse is a godly virtue.
God says, "Come now, let us reason together."
We gain understanding when sincere people
discuss complicated issues in good faith.
By contrast,
Facebook has increasingly became
an angry cyber-battlefield
where fools of the left and right
fire verbal missiles
across a barren wasteland.
God have mercy on us!
Teach us first to shut up and listen, then to speak.
Grant us wisdom
to understand our neighbor's point of view.
Lead us in Your way of love and wisdom.

Hi Ajit... Zacchaeus is an interesting case. I've wondered about the process of his transformation from thief to disciple. Aside from wanting to see Jesus, I wonder what his thoughts were at the beginning of that pivotal day. What was the nature of Jesus' conversation with him as they ate together? And how did it work out for him in the weeks, months and years after his salvation? Thanks for commenting!
