Politics. A tricky subject not brought up in many Christian circles for fear of what feet we my step on or whom we may get into a heated discussion with. Why is it that so many people, so many Christians more specifically, turn away from discussions of this depth? I, for one, believe it is because they feel their voice won't be heard. That they are a minority so their opinion doesn't matter. That ultimately God is in control, therefore what I think doesn't really matter. It is true that God is in control and is sovereign. Just because God is ultimately in control does not mean we should sit around and let the world around us crumble.
As Christians we are called to stand up for what is right. For what is holy. For what is going to further the kingdom. So why can we NOT say the negative about politicians when that is the truth? We should be a very vocal group when it comes to politics however we go about our daily business in our meek and mild manner, some only rely on faith to see them through each day. We shouldn't be so heavenly focused we are no earthly good. We should be able to firmly defend our positions, to see that the government runs as our forefathers of faith intended. I believe that if our founding fathers were alive today they would be up in arms about today's politics. There is greed, corruption and worse amongst today's politicians. Where is the public outcry? We pay tax dollars to help OUR government and since we pay we have a voice. Our voice hasn't been silenced yet. Let your voice be heard.
