How? By being a good neighbor. How? By loving others more than you do yourself. By being hospitable. By taking care of the widow, the orphan, the sick, the imprisoned, the naked, the hungry, the thirsty, the foreigner. By working for justice for the oppressed. By setting out to reverse every aspect of the curse, RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE - working hard at your job, cleaning up a filthy vacant lot, recycling, painting a beautiful work of art, etc.. NOT VOTING. NOT LEGISLATING. NOT BY POLITICIANS. <BR/><BR/>WHY? Because this is what The King, the Messiah, did when he ushered in His Kingdom. And it effected change. And that change was very political. So political, it got him killed. So political, it got many of the early Church killed. So political, it gets many Christians killed today. When Christians effect change, by carrying out what Jesus commanded them to do, the powers that be will ask why you do so. And when you say, "Because Jesus is King," that's POLITICAL.<BR/><BR/>And eschatologically, that's the politic that's going to win in the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963785693393847314.post-19425843833557763392008-02-11T18:13:00.000-08:002008-02-11T18:13:00.000-08:00What, you dont believe in pietistic progress? You...What, you dont believe in pietistic progress? You don't think Christian's have it as their primary duty to hold office and mandate/legislate righteousness? You don't imagine that sin works from the bottom up only?<BR/><BR/>Those who believe such things are the same who accuse Christ, the Church, and all Christians of being a scam and disappointment...because this system DOESNT WORK.<BR/><BR/>Good post John.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Will KWill Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342090773759619950noreply@blogger.com
