Preachers do not want to offend their flock, for fear that there will be less cash in the till. Ministers do not want to become really good friends with church members for fear of getting strange looks from acquaintances. I can’t phone an old friend, because she won’t forgive me for an accidental offensive remark I made. What’s the point? Has life gotten that political? Seems like it.
Ya know, if Jesus was running around right now, who would He most resemble? Would he be Joel Osteen, the guy who oozes optimism and promise, with no real sacrifice? How about Mike Huckabee? Good show, seems sincere, but frankly I would be scared out of my mind if he became president. Glenn Beck? Did you know he’s Mormon? Yeah, neither did I, even though I watched his show for months.
Folks.....who are we supposed to listen to?
I’m really wondering about the election next week. I have a cousin who is deep in the political space, and she says things will get exponentially better. I just don’t believe it. The only thing that offers any success is the fact that the legislature will be a different party than the white house. Why? For some reason, looking back at history, that’s the best mix for things. They balance each other out somehow. You would think unification is useful, but it never really is.
I hate politics. As most of you can tell, I don’t really worry about what the group thinks. I just promote as much truth as I can manage. After all, I don’t have all the answers. Jesus has all the answers, but getting a clear path to Him can really take some time, so I try and speed up that process for you. That’s my politics. Fast Christ!
We don’t want you to vote a certain way next week. Use your best judgement. Just remember, the only thing that ever buoys capitalist countries are healthy private sectors. Without the economics in place, nothing gets done. We got this far by putting the power into the entrepreneurs’ hands. In America we have amazing ideas, and the resources to make them happen. We just need a government that understands that.
