I find it amazing when I watch the news, how both parties make the same claims about the other side. I know which side I am more alligned with. The truth is though, Jesus Christ died for all of us. His truth should be the foundation of what we believe in our heart and even in our politics.
It's hard though, when both sides claim they are Christian. They declare to be defenders of our constitution. Yet at the same time, both sides have polarizing policies. I woke up in the middle of the night as the first two lines reverberated in my head.
Opposing views
Why is it, when we on the right take a stand,
We're accused of hate, with deception close at hand?
Yet when the left declares what they believe,
They're hailed as heroes, destined to achieve.
Why is it, when we questioned the COVID vaccine,
We were cast as villains—cold, cruel, and mean?
But when the left walks through Planned Parenthood’s door,
It’s called a brave choice, praised all the more.
When a conservative speaks of what made this nation great,
He’s labeled a racist, a Nazi, a vessel of hate.
Yet when a liberal shares his opposing view,
He’s seen as kind, though none of it’s true.
This is the world we’re living in today:
Both sides shout, both sides sway.
Each claims the other breaks the Constitution,
Each offers a different, clashing solution.
Two bibles, two laws, two paths to defend—
Each side insists theirs is the end.
But only one truth will rise and shine,
Only one Word stands the test of time.
So stand for what’s right, make your declaration,
Live with boldness, not hesitation.
For when all is said and all is done,
The truth is found in God’s own Son.
We live in a world of opposing views,
And truth is often hard to choose.
It’s not the one who seeks to please,
But the one who clings to Christ with ease.
Not the voice that avoids offense,
But the heart that stands in reverence.
For in the end, what will remain
Is faith that endures through joy and pain.
