Do the majority of evangelicals in America want a theocracy? Is it really true that gay marriage and abortion "require government action" while poverty can and should be addressed "locally." Are not all of these products of a fallen world? Are they not all situations that require believers on a local level to become involved? If this post makes no sense please go back and read the comment posted in response to my Random Thoughts on 2007. They are great thoughts and cause us to pause and reflect. Did Christ attempt to legislate anything? Did Paul circulate petitions for laws to stop the carnage of the Roman games as he made missionary journeys?
As Micah writes, "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" How much prison time for an abortion? In the case of abortion, what is justice? What is kindness? Do my answers reflect a humble walk with my God?
I love this, musing, questions, and thoughts. This I believe, God is not Republican or Democrat and those who believe He is, are missing the point. Islam is a theocracy, is that really the direction we should go?
