A hymn comes to mind with the words 'fix your eyes upon Jesus, look full on His wonderful face, that the things of earth would go strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.'
Thank you for the article. You have put it very well. We are called to "rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice". Even as we engage in our cultural wars and indeed with our own failings we are to remain people of joy. I love the image of "cheerful composure". Ultimately we are to be concerned for the souls of all and if "the other side" only sees us as being angry and outraged and hurling insults then we are giving a shabby witness to who Christ is to us and what He is doing in our lives. He is Risen Indeed!
Amen. Steady faithfulness should mark our ways, rather than unhinged anger.
