Here is a great irony...
No other nation has done so much to assure equality for so many groups of people, yet tensions and divisions seem greater than ever.
How can this be?
The devil's in the discord.
The devil constantly seeks to divide and destroy...
... and he knows if he can get people at one another's throats, he'll ruin friendships, marriages, businesses, churches and even nations.
There are dark souls who know and apply this too.
This is why God's Word is so clear about those who stir up trouble...
He hates those who with perverted hearts devise evil... continually sow discord... and breathe out lies (Pr.6:14,16,19).
Jesus picked up the same theme when He preached "blessed are the peacemakers" (Mt.5:9).
All to say...
Be on the lookout for those who would sow discord and cause unnecessary division.
And don't let any suspicion, animosity or fear keep you from the good work God has called you to do (Eph.2:10).
