A few days ago, I wrote an article postal discuss Give you more power, A 1982 album re-produced and re-released by the pioneer Christian rock band Petra. The post started like this:
Those of us who remember 1982 are not just because we have a Real presidentAlthough this is of course a good starting point, it can also be recalled that at that time Christian rock began to stand out from the shadows, not only novelties promoted by a few people, but also ignored at best, if not actively opposed, the entire church.
Imagine… a writer on a conservative website said something nice to Ronald Reagan on the website. Shocking, isn’t it?
In any case, someone in a Facebook group following classic Christian rock noticed this post and linked to it. This led to two discussions. The first discussion about how cool is when someone wrote a beloved band on a major website. The second one is “Hey, wait a minute-the author is Joe Biden’s scumbag!!!”
Once again, imagine… a writer on a conservative website said something bad about Joe Biden on the website. Amazing, isn’t it?
The debate about whether beliefs and politics intersect and where if they intersect has always been a hot issue in this country, because in the late 20th century, the routine public recognition of beliefs by political leaders became less and less. There was a time when people generally accepted the idea that the United States was built on the basis of the fusion of theism and Christianity. The “Declaration of Independence” clearly stated that human rights are granted by God. To explain with wedding vows, what God has combined will not divide any government.
Jesus has little to say about politics.He has bigger fish take. He did say Pay taxes, Which makes people wonder why more Democrats have not waved at least that part of the Bible and ignored all the annoying things about personal responsibility, sin, and repentance. Jesus’ message is to repent, have faith in him, and take care of each other’s needs. Don’t transfer it to the government or the next person. You do what you can do, and the next person does what they can do. Individual and collective efforts. Humility, personal work.
Although there is no biblical basis for designating parties, there are many reasons to examine motives and methods when considering political issues based on beliefs.We are familiar with ridiculous government over-expansion, such as the notorious Obamacare and the Poor Sisters Case. Or when the political leader announces Their great Belief But support the murder of an unborn child. The countless government officials believe that they have the ability to play God by pretending to be God.
Looking back at Reagan, this observe Robert Morrison said:
Reagan’s achievements can be attributed to the fact that Reagan did not try to convince us that he was really smart, or that he knew better than us how to manage our neighborhood schools, our local communities, our churches and synagogues, and us Of voluntary associations. Done.
In short, Reagan believed in those who believed in God. None of us who believe in is perfect, nor do we have all the answers. There is no definite sign of all the answers as believing that you have all the answers. But if we are perfect, then we don’t need a savior. Boy, do we all need one? quite, The only one.
So no, I will not apologize for incorporating faith into my politics, because faith is much more important than politics. Nor will I belittle the beliefs of people who have different views on political matters than mine, because belief is once again much more important than politics.As the apostle Paul famousAlthough it’s a bit out of context, it still applies-if you have different ideas in some respects, God will also explain it to you.
At the same time, listen Cephas hours And buy some music by Petra and choir and Fang Yutian and Rachel William. Doing so will benefit you yourself.
