thoughtful post, lydon. What disturbs me is the way evangelicals often vote en masse to back an issue regardless of other considerations. If we do this in our Christian walk, attempting to be single-issue focussed, we will do so at the the expense of more weighty matters and end up going around stamping out fires. Deb and I came to this conclusion when we were working for the pro-life movement. What people need is not have their thoughts adjusted regarding a specific issue, but to hear the gospel. Even believers have to adjust their focus at times :)
The gospel is Words of eternal life.
I agree, John. Your wise words lead me to recall this image. :)
Ha ha, a good cartoon but a tad defensive. The Christian is not under siege by the world but is actively involved in redeeming the world and renewing his own mind in accordance with God's Word. Ps 119 vividly portrays the life of one who delights in and lives by the law of God. And the best way to redeem the world is not by forcing change upon it but by changing worlds, beginning with ourselves :)
