So, election fever is gripping the nation (well, bits of the nation anyway).
And I find myself wondering who the best party would be. Should I be voting for a party that agrees with me as much as possible? Because isn't there an extent to which Christianity thrives more when it's not just getting its own way in a nation? Not that I'm hoping to vote in a party that encourages public beatings of Christians or anything, but maybe hoping (praying?!) for a party that toes the moral line is just a bit of a setup for enabling me to be a more apathetic Christian - where I don't have to make a stand. Maybe if people are close to my beliefs, I won't bother challenging them when they do something that really doesn't fit. And surely that's not ideal.
I dunno...

Isn't it more about how the fact that God has set up a life in Christ to be more beneficial to humanity, that Christian principles, whether practiced by Christians or those who don't believe in Jesus, work and bless us? We want the poor to be looked after and helped, we want people to have equal rights, to be treated with grace and respect, whether we agree with them on what they believe or not? Etc etc...
ReplyDeleteHope that God showed you who to vote for and I hope you voted. Sx
