But those damned Christians came out to “vote their values†and wound up with Bush for four more years. God where will that take us? I trust you. I do.
Does this mean that I was wrong to look to extend mercy, grace and justice in your name? Does this mean that Christians around the country have confused biblical values with political conservatism?
Maybe, but God you are in control, aren’t you. I trust you, I do.
What do I do now? I will go on promoting biblical values here, bring social justice by my own hand where I can, and continue to engage system.
Chris is an Assembliesof God pastor. I’m impressed. Assemblies of God, in my book (an din this case, my inaccurate book) usually fall in line with the Religious Right. But , as the case often is, where people listen to God, dissent and alternative is always a possibility. I can say the same for Southern Baptists too. After all, it WAS (and probably still is) very possible to emerge from that in ways that subvert the mainstream (although, when I grew up in it, it was amuch more diverse and affirming community than it is now).
Anyway, thanks fore the link Chris! And thank you for that post eletion reflection.
