WHEN POLITICS MISLEADS US (February 13, 2026)

How does God’s grace invade our daily conversations?

Certainly not by retreating to our separate corners and hurling brickbats at each other. Of all the “stuff” we absorb from our angry culture, the habits of accusing and deriding are undoubtedly the worst.

But as grace finds a home in us, we grow more willing to admit that we might be mistaken. Receiving grace requires we confess we are wrong, and always have been. We’ve misunderstood the love of God, imagining Him as only angry, always disappointed. We’ve wandered into deeds that brought us shame and guilt. We’ve argued for ideas that were vanquished at the cross. “All we like sheep have gone astray” (Is 53:6).

So grace prepares us for a new way of talking with each other, even when we disagree—especially when we disagree. “You could be right”—"I might be wrong”: these are the tools of reconciliation and renewal. Look carefully at grace before you look your opponent in the eye.

There is no greater joy than laughing with a former enemy.

So stay in grace. -Bill Knott
