Jesus said, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand." The USA seems to be deeply divided. Is there any way we can become more unified?

My concern too. It seems almost impossible since academia has bought into the idea that the USA is inherently evil, introducing Marxism as preferable, and Critical Race Theory as the "cure."

Perhaps if a common enemy/threat were seen that we all must become unified against. However, I don't know that even that would produce effective unity in this country . . .

Personally, my hope is riding on The King!

I feel the US is always more united when there’s a World war or Cold War or something international struggle going on. But God forbid please.
