This is not a time to panic, America!
Updated June 2024
On April 12, 1861, Fort Sumter was invaded by the South Carolina militia triggering the Civil War. As you hopefully know, I am not an alarmist, but the January 6, 2021, attack on the United States Capitol by right-wing rioters certainly emphasized the depth of division in America.
Today, there are serious talks of a second civil war, states considering seceding from the Union (Alaska, Texas, California . . .) and polarizing politics paralyzing Congress!
The results of the 2024 presidential election could light the fuse on these explosive divisions.
However, this is not a time to panic! It’s time to fervently pray for our republic, to repent of any hatred and anger we may feel toward our perceived enemies, and to work at defusing this explosive atmosphere in our own communities. May God help us all!
