Christian Academy Statement: As we enter into another election season, we want to remind our school community that the Christian Academy School System is partisan only to the Bible and our shared Biblical and Foundational Statements. We support each person’s right to vote as led by God’s Word and the Holy Spirit. In keeping with our school, parent and employee partnership commitment, we have agreed to treat our neighbors with respect and honor, as fellow image bearers of God, including engaging in responsible discourse. Christian Academy is firmly dedicated to promoting unity rather than divisiveness in all aspects, including politics.
With this statement in mind, I want to introduce the third of four devotional thoughts on how we, as Christians, can positively affect our community. I have found that during times of disagreement I struggle with when to be the voice of truth versus living at peace. One thing that helps me is to remind myself of the person I am speaking to and consider their background, experiences and, maybe most importantly, their faith walk.
Dr. Becky Wiley, Director of Spiritual Formation, (bwiley@caschools.us) shares her thoughts and reflections on how we can strive to live at peace when we are bombarded with divisive messages with three weeks left before the election. She also asks, “What will God’s Kingdom look like the day after the election?”
