Is it right? Should politicians keep pushing people to the edge of terrorism? I think we have to seriously consider our motives of speaking out in the political arena. America is not a country that condones terrorism. We never have since we became a country. Why do we then dance along the line of inciting such acts?
As Christians we are called to live in the world but not of it. Yet we immerse ourselves in the issues of the world. I am guilty of this just as much as the next person but I am wondering if we really need to focus our efforts elsewhere. Are we supposed to stay informed and yet not become attached in a way that would lead us to extremism for something other than Christ? Its a fascinating and very scary time for American Christians.
So the thought I want to leave us with is....
As Christians should we really fan the flame of the political bonfire with our opinions on the values we see as most valuable; should we simply stay informed and out of the hot seat and exemplify Christ with our lives; should we not concern ourselves with any sort of politics and begin not to vote all together etc...?
As we chew on these thoughts, let's be open to God and what He would have us do...
