What is sad to me is the way the people of faith get sucked into the easy way of letting the government decide how we are to live.
.
We try to elect people who will mandate godliness for our land. As the Israelites of old, we want a king so we don't have the individual and collective responsibility of worshipping one God in all we do.
If just the right law is passed, the right Supreme Court Justice, a majority in the Senate, the right party, etc. etc.I can kick back and say "I go a fishing" and be like Peter.
And, then on Monday mornings with my online friends and a cup of coffee, we talk about politics rather the man we're befriending who just got out a prison and needs a job. And so we get what we vote and God gives leanness to our souls. (One of my mom's favorite verses)
All the hype around McCain and Obama is still same ole same ole. I think both are good men but they will not fix what is wrong. We need a massive work of God among people everywhere
LORD HAVE MERCY
