Most of us have probably heard and thought more about politics in recent years than we would like or even thought possible. The political narrative has become so contentious and divisive that at times it seems to threaten the stability of our nation (and possibly yours wherever you live), and has led to the assassination of a young husband and father who dared to speak out in a hostile environment. How did we get here?

At its heart, what we’re seeing is a battle between right and wrong, light and darkness. But some of the blame goes back to an attitude that is not new. It was there in Isaiah’s time and has been alive and well in our nation for generations. But could we also bear some of the blame?
