"The Wrath of Man Worketh Not the Righteousness of God" James 1:20

In times like these, it's crucial to remember that 'the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.' That means when we face disagreements, no matter how intense, we have to stay rational and self-controlled. One of the fruits of the Spirit is indeed self-control, and that should guide how we engage in public debate. We can have passionate, even tough conversations, but there's never a reason to turn to violence. Just like those classic debates on 'Firing Line' with William F. Buckley, we can disagree strongly and still respect each other's humanity. Let's model that kind of peaceful, thoughtful dialogue and remember that violence never leads to true righteousness, even in the wake of a sorrowful event like what happened to Charlie Kirk.
