I admit, this will probably be a short posting, but it is something that has been on my mind for a very long time--and that is how do we motivate Christians to get involved in the issues of our day? Well I think I finally found the solution.
Romans 13:1 tells us clearly--"Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God. Therefore the authorities that exist are appointed by God."
So here are a few basic questions to consider:
1. If we, as Christians are to be subject to the governing authorities, doesn't it follow that we should have a say in how that government operates?
2. If we are to be subject to the governing authorities, shouldn't we be telling those in authority what we are thinking about what they are doing, since their decisions have such monumental affects on our every day lives?
Let's be clear, folks the issues that are confronting our country transcend political ideologies. They are in the political arena, because that's where they get the most attention.
Let's understand one final thing--We do not check our rights as citizens, at the Church door, because we are Christians.
IT'S TIME WE STAND UP AND BE COUNTED AND HEARD!!
