We live in such complex, complicated times. It's beginning to remind one of the sixties. What's right? What's wrong? What the direction we need to take as a country?
Should we say in Iraq? Should we go? Should we go into Iran? Should we simply leave the region all together?
Yet the complexity we feel on a national, global level is the complexity that we feel on a personal level as well. It seems like life is becoming more and more complex.
Under the philosophy of "tolerance" we are beginning to go to the other extreme in accepting anything and everything to the point that it's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong.
That's why I love the simplicity of the message of Jesus. Jesus basically said, "love me and love other people." Accept me and live for me and live forever.
Simplicity doesn't imply that something isn't profound, only that it is easily understood and applied.
What if we applied the philosophy of Jesus to global politics? Love God, love one another. Too simple? Maybe. But the basis of the direction we need to go? Absolutely.
Just a thought on a Tuesday morning.
