40 days towards a more godly nation - Jesus Is Involved In Politics

Day Eleven
Infanticide, which might seem contrary to human nature, was almost universal
before the rise of Christianity, and is recommended by Plato to prevent overpopulation.
[Notice how this is the same cry by today’s pro-abortionists].…In
antiquity, when male supremacy was unquestioned and Christian ethics were
still unknown, women were harmless but rather silly, and a man who took
them seriously was somewhat despised. 48
Atheist Bertrand Russell (emphasis added)
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,…defend the rights of
the poor and needy. [Notice it speaks of rights not goods]
Proverbs 31:8-9
Blessed are they who maintain justice, who constantly do what is right.
Psalms 106:3.
But The Church Should Stay Out Of

ook how we’ve failed every time we’ve tried to get involved in
politics! What good has the Moral Majority done? How useful was
the Christian Coalition? The Church should stay out of politics!
We should focus on changing the culture and hearts, not laws!” A pastor friend
of mine was attacking every Christian organization which had ever dared to

On another occasion, a lady on FaceBook come on to my profile after
I’d condemned those in leadership (yes, I was just taking the lead from Jesus
and calling them snakes and rats). This lady is a Christian, yet rather than speak
out against sinful people who were really hurting others, she seemed to spend
more of her time attacking fellow Christians who had the “gall” to stand up for
righteousness. You know, she was the kind who think that bad people will
actually stop doing bad things if we would just be nice to them. When I
suggested that “just praying” was not an option she went ballistic. “Just pray!”
she hollered (electronically), “Just pray! You think petitioning the Almighty
creator is ‘just’ praying.”
But this is a fallacious objection. I’d said, “We can’t just pray, we have
to speak out against evil, take over the legislature, and change the law.” It’s
true; we can’t “just” pray. We have to take action. James 49 is quite clear about

49 James 2:26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. What sort of deeds is
James talking about? He’s talking about justice. James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as
pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress...
