Being here in Oklahoma most folks are republican… Rather they go to church or not… It has always baffled me about how Christians have somehow gathered together as some kind of massive republican army… It’s very strange. I assume it has to do with the fight against evil and all.
The people in Jesus’s day were looking for a Messiah to overcome the Roman occupation. Someone to save them from the evil of that government. Jesus didn’t seem too interested in this cause. In fact I don’t think he was interested in politics at all. He seemed to talk more about loving enemy’s and stuff… Ushering a new kingdom based on love.
Perhaps that’s what the church should consider working on. Instead of moral rights and family values,lets work on loving unconditionally and help usher in a new kingdom on earth. Overcoming the world and bringing in a new kingdom.
John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Easier said than done but you gotta start somewhere right? It’s all “Emerging Church” stuff that I’ll blog about later… You dig?
