OK people, I've got some random things to spout...
hey Christians, guess what? If we're trying to change the world, we're going about it all the wrong way!!! News Flash: WE DON'T LIVE IN A CHRISTIAN NATION!! I'm not sure we ever did, really, at least not as some of us would define it. What I'm getting at is this: we're not going to have a positive effect on our world with laws- either by trying to implement our moral code into national law, or imposing our religious beliefs and laws on those around us. The only thing that is going to change the world, our society, or the people next door to us, is the same thing that (hopefully) changed us- the love of God. forcing our faith on others is NOT loving them. Jesus went around caring for people, healing the sick, and genuinely listening when unbelievers talked to him. when is the last time we tried that? I'm preaching all this to myself, by the way, cause I don't love people like I should either.
So, instead of thinking we're somehow better than anyone around us, and forcing our beliefs on them, let's try following the example of our Saviour, and just love them!

My mindset this morning automatically thinks of the recently passed healthcare legislation... people trying to impose their beliefs on others because "it's good for them."
ReplyDeleteThe government that does the least for the people is the best kind, IMHO.
