Rev. Norman Franklin
The character of the nation is being tested. Our character is tested and proven in times of turmoil, personal storms and storms that we persevere through collectively as a community, as a nation and as a global community.
Our character is revealed in how we, personally and collectively, respond during these times. Do we coalesce, come together, pull together as a family, a community, as one nation under God? Or do we become a nation of individuals of self-serving ideologies and subjective truths?
In my three score and ten years, I have never seen the mood of the nation in such divisive discord. Truth is only relative to the one who speaks it. Speaking truth to power in the midst of social upheaval and political turmoil requires one who has proven character and spiritual integrity. God is looking for one who will hear His voice rather than the cacophony of voices speaking subjective truths to His people.
