Yelling accusations never solves problems

Any fool can be critical, and purport to be an expert.
Among the most erudite statements are:
•I truly don’t know;
•I’m withholding judgment; and the “revolutionary” thought is
•I’m praying for those who make decisions, that God truly inspires their decisions.
Everybody is preaching to their “choir” and none listens to any not in “their choir.” People make profit (either in money or fame) by trying to sound discerning.
I don’t know all the answers.
Nor do I want to be characterized as a fool who would with some scream “FIRE” in a crowded theater.
I believe this epidemic of railing against whomever one doesn’t like is just as serious. This would apply whether it is local news, FOX, CNN or MSNBC.
Until we quit yelling accusations at one another, we’ll never come together as a nation to make sober, constructive decisions for the good of all.
As a pastor, I’ve observed the tragic outcome resulting from domestic strife. When one blames the other with taunts and accusations, the outcome is already determined: destruction of the relationship!
