Political convictions have no template in the doctrine of Christ. Let us try telling the courts to forgive trespassers or the financial waymakers that a jubilee is overdue or tell the media and police services that lying lips are an abomination. We should mind our own business, and that is, without dispute, loving people and relieving suffering. We must let the Risen Christ subject his enemies. Otherwise we keep shooting ourselves in the foot.
Do pastors not know who the enemy is? It ain’t the people with whom we share excellence of God everywhere we look. It ain’t cancer or unbelief? Phew!
Careful with your rooting up
Matthew 13:28-29
28. And he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this!’ The slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?’ 29. But he said, ‘No; for while you are gathering up the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them.
Intellectuals without heads and discussion without opinion are the new standard of excellence in the shadows and at high noon at at the Capitol.
Life is Fun, But Not a Joke
