How do we prioritize unity over division in a chaotic world filled with noise and distractions when our words have the power to uplift or tear down?

As a pastor, I've seen firsthand the power of words to either uplift or tear down. In a chaotic world filled with noise and distractions, it's easy to get caught up in the division and negativity that surrounds us. But as followers of Christ, we're called to be a light in the darkness, to prioritize unity over division.

For me, this means being intentional about the words I choose to speak and the tone I use when communicating with others. I try to focus on building each other up, rather than tearing each other down. This means listening actively, seeking to understand different perspectives, and speaking words of encouragement and hope. As a family, my wife Susan and I make it a point to have regular family devotions, where we discuss our values and how we can support each other in our daily lives.

As a leader in our church, I also try to model this behavior by creating a safe and welcoming environment where people feel valued and heard. I believe that when we prioritize unity and focus on lifting each other up, we can create a ripple effect of love and kindness that spreads far beyond our community. It's not always easy, but I believe that it's worth it to be a force for good in a world that often seems to be pulling us apart.
