Psalm 85:8 “I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants–…” All of us have a choice: listen to what God’s Word says or ignore what God’s Word says.  One cannot pick and choose.  What does God say about subjects which seem to be very controversial–like: divorce, adultery, abortion, helping the poor, greed, raising children, work effort—all of life from the time we wake up until we go to sleep.  There is no such thing as-if it’s political we can’t talk about it or we are all entitled to our own opinions.  Reread especially to the first few words of this verse.  These few words should guide our lives.
