I do believe that Christians should live out their faith in any capacity they can. That includes politics and government. However, the great the power and influence a person gains in the politicle arena the lesser a "God view" a person can take. Intead they must take a "people view" and reflect the will of people rather than the will of God.<br />What I can't stand is the people who believe GWB is somehow channeling the righteousness of God through the White House. If we take the Gospel seriously that couldn't be further from the truth, and that's not GWB fault. As I said before "the will of the people" is often at odds with "the will of God." We don't elect a prophet we elect an executive of our national interest and will.<br />It's important for Christians to be involved in the process so as to highlight the plight of the poor, victimized, widowed, and children. If we weren't then we would have a contempt for our world that God does not share. I mean to say that God is interested in what we can do for the Kingdom here now not at the rapture.J-Wildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682981365579357845noreply@blogger.com
