As followers of Jesus we have a different perspective, a Kingdom economy and a reason for hope.

With the impeachment trial going on, maybe you are glued to your television or maybe you've had enough and have turned it off.

What is evident to me is something I discovered when I first started going to Capitol Hill. People just can't agree on what is true. The trial in the Senate continues to show that. And no matter what the outcome is in the Senate, the bickering and arguing will continue.

It's all part of our culture as people talk about his truth or her truth or my truth. What we are desperately lacking is coming together under The Truth. Trying to bring people together under The Truth is one of the reasons why I believe God has opened the door for me to be in Washington, DC.

If I were to tell you the names of some of the lawmakers who I have engaged with in the past few weeks, you would probably be shocked. You've seen them on television spouting their version of the truth. And yet, I know many of these people claim to follow Jesus. It's hard to make sense of it all but we desperately need God's truth to reign.

On my last trip to Capitol Hill, one representative asked me to tell a representative on the other side of the aisle that they would like to get together and pray. I conveyed the message later that day.

My purpose on the Hill is not only to lead worship in the Capitol but to also be an agent of reconciliation. These words in the Philips translation from chapter 5 of 2 Corinthians are relevant:

All this is God's doing, for he has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ; and he has made us agents of the reconciliation. God was in Christ personally reconciling the world to himself - not counting their sins against them - and has commissioned us with the message of reconciliation. We are now Christ's ambassadors, as though God were appealing direct to you through us. As his personal representatives we say, "Make your peace with God." For God caused Christ, who himself knew nothing of sin, actually to be sin for our sakes, so that in Christ we might be made good with the goodness of God.

May we all be agents of reconciliation.
