An excellent post from budger68 indeed. We should be focused on sharing with our neighbors the message of Christ. It is very true that Jesus "didn't dictate rules from Jerusalem, he went to the streets and showed the love of God". We do need to move our focus from man's kingdom and begin to work for God's kingdom. No where in the Bible did Christ instruct us to take control of civil government. The corrupt institutions of secular government are far below any follower of Christ. Our time, energy and money could be far better spent.

Perhaps each true FOLLOWER of Jesus Christ should first ask if we are worshipping the Creator or the creation. Let us each examine ouselves to be sure that we are not violating the Lord's commandments regarding idolatry before we simply pay mindless homage to modern notions of enviornmental stewardship.

As Christ stated in Matthew 13:22 "The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. Any so-called "born again Christian" who puts such faith in any worldly political ideology including, but not limited to, the Godless platforms of the current democratic candidates, should as Paul instructs us in 2 Corinthians 13:5 "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves..."

In good conscience can you really consider yourself a Christian while you deny Christ and his authoritative word as found in the Holy Bible. You must first get off of the fence and stand on one side or the other.

As Christ himself was quoted in Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

In truth, neither the republicans nor the democrats have all of the answers. Both are well capable of pointing out the problems of world, but neither have the solution without Christ.

We each have but one eternally defining decision to make. Do we surrender ourselves and submit to the kingship of Christ, or continue to deny and rebel until our day of definite destruction?
