Pastor's Corner
IPolitics and faith, listening and prayer
f you’re anything like me (and I’ll hear this. The result was about a 45 minute Could I ask you bet you are on this one), you can mostly one-sided conversation in which he to pray for those hardly wait until this election has told me many things that were wrong about conversations?
come and gone. I am so tired of having
my mailbox filled with political junk mail and hearing all these commercials on TV about how dastardly someone’s opponent is—how they’ve lied and schemed and taken public money, etc., etc. It has become very difficult to actually know what any particular candidate believes about anything (you hardly hear anything specific about actual policy positions), but only hear attacks on the opponent’s position— and mostly about their character. What a strange place we’ve come to in America, 2018!
A couple of weeks ago I talked to you about listening. Of how one author I greatly respect told of how he routinely reads newspapers/magazines from opposing viewpoints in order to get at the truth which is usually somewhere in the middle. So here’s a little personal progress report: I decided to try it with my son who has very different political views from my own. I called him and told him of that same article and that I wanted to now just listen to him without responding with my own opinions or arguments. He seemed quite pleased to
my political party and some things that he strongly believes in. At several points it was quite difficult for me to just listen and not react; and several times he asked what I thought, which became a challenge for me to not argue but just hear him out. I think he felt quite honored and respected that I would call and want to hear his opinions and stick to that goal of just listening.
He has now texted me wondering what I’ve thought about our conversation.
I haven’t responded yet (but will right after I finish this article) cause it’s so
hard to take it the next step toward mutual understanding and maybe agreeing to disagree. As I said before,
the Bible talks about listening a lot.
Some specific directions that are on
my mind are: to “speak with gentleness and respect”(1Pet3:15), “to have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way”(Heb13:18), that “a wise man listens to advice”(Prov12:15), that “he
who answers before listening—that is his folly and shame”(Prov18:13), and most importantly to “be quick to listen and slow to speak”(Jms1:19).
Arrests

That they would be honoring to God, respectful of my son, and pointing to the glory of God. And, one other request: would you pray for our friend Sonny Salsbury?

Worship in Dinuba
Maybe some of you know of him: he is an older Christian musician. He was one of the first to bring the guitar into worship many years ago; he wrote many camping or youth group type songs, including Psalm 19 (“Don’t you wonder why the stars are in the sky...”) He now has cancer in several locations in his body, but has the joy of the Lord in his soul. We are praying that he’ll have many more years here of praising our Savior.
God bless you as you listen to those in your world, shining as lights so that people will praise our Father in heaven.
Rich Latta is the pastor of Dinuba Presbyterian church, located at 1250 East Nebraska Avenue.
