Blessed are the peacemakers.

There are times when my job is extremely frustrating. When I start to dislike the actions of the opposition, I have to remember that, as a Christian, I am supposed to temper my thoughts and actions with love (and not just hate all Democrats like I sometimes wish I could do, but then I immediately feel guilty for even thinking such a thing, 'cause I know that's not what I've been called to do).

Ken Sande from Peacemaker Ministries visited my church last weekend, and it reminded me that, not only do I have to follow Biblical principles regarding conflict within the church, I also need to follow that mindset in my work. This is sometimes hard to do.

I highly recommend listening to the sermon (about an hour long), which can be found here, and reading the book.
